Title: Stable dispersions of solid particles in an aqueous medium prepared without need for water-immiscible solvents for formation of the emulsion
Inventor: HEDBERG PIA MARGARETHA CECILIA
IPC: A61K9/10
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: Described is a process for the preparation of a stable dispersion of solid particles, in an aqueous medium comprising combining (a) a first solution comprising a substantially water-insoluble substance, a water-miscible organic solvent and an inhibitor with (b) an aqueous phase comprising water and optionally a stabiliser, thereby precipitating solid particles comprising the inhibitor and the substantially water-insoluble substance; and optionally removing the water-miscible organic solvent; wherein the inhibitor is a non-polymeric hydrophobic organic compound as defined in the description. The process provides a dispersion of solid particles in an aqueous medium, which particles exhibit reduced or substantially no particle growth mediated by Ostwald ripening. Figure 1 is a graph of the (mean particle diameter)3 (nm3) against time (minutes) for particles of felodipine prepared with and without the use of an inhibitor (Miglyol 812N). The open circles in figure 1 represent the felodipine particles prepared with the inhibitor (Miglyol 812N) and the solid circles felodipine particles prepared without an inhibitor. Figure 1 shows that the presence of the inhibitor eliminated Ostwald ripening in the felodipine particles and the particle size remains constant. Whereas the felodipine particles prepared without an inhibitor grew rapidly with time.

Patent NZ-547199-A (NZ)
Title: A bi-directional Slide clamp for use with IV tube that has resistance to movment of the tube in either direction
Inventor: BOYNE-AITKEN DAVID E
IPC: A61M39/28
Filed: 2004-11-19
Abstract: A slide clamp (10) is disclosed. The clamp (10) includes a slot formed in a plate though which a fluid tube (34) is mounted. The tube (34) may be moved to a flow section (16) of the slot or to an occluding section (18) of the slot. Interconnecting the flow and occluding sections is a pinch zone (26) in which the slot is narrower than the occluding section (18). Because of this narrow slot, the pinch zone (26) resists movement of the tube from either the occluding or the flow sections into another section. The pinch zone (26) includes a pair of curved beams (24) that are formed as a result of apertures (30) formed in the plate at locations laterally outward from the slot of the pinch zone. As the tube (34) is forced from the occluding section to the flow section the curved beams (24) flex outwardly permitting the tube (34) to pass. However, if enough force is not applied to the tube (34), it will not overcome the curved beams (24) and they will stop movement of the tube (34). After the tube (34) has passed, the curved beams (24) resiliently return to their rest position once again providing a stop. The beams (24) are symmetrically shaped and will permit movement of the tube (34) in either direction. The apertures (30) also provide identification markers for the slide clamp.

Title: Adaptive coding and decoding of wide-range coefficients
Inventor: SRINIVASAN SRIDHAR
IPC: G06K9/36
Filed: 2006-08-03
Abstract: A method of encoding digital media data is disclosed. The method of encoding comprises first applying a transform to blocks of the digital media data to produce a set of transform coefficients for the respective blocks, and then, to group coefficient values into coefficient groups, determining a normalized part and an address part of the transform coefficients of a block. The normalized part is indicative of a group containing the respective transform coefficient's value and the address part is indicative of an address of the respective transform coefficient's value in the group. The method then comprises encoding the normalized part of a transform coefficient using a variable length entropy coding in a compressed bitstream and encoding the address part of a transform coefficient using a fixed length coding in the compressed bitstream. A method of decoding the encoded data is also disclosed. The method of decoding comprises first decoding the normalized part and address part of a transform coefficient from the compressed bitstream. If the normalized part is greater than zero, the transform coefficient is reconstructed according to a relation, X=Y*N+Z. If the normalized part is less than zero, the transform coefficient is reconstructed according to a relation, X=Y*N-Z. If the normalized part and the address part are both zero, the transform coefficient is reconstructed to also be zero. If the normalized part is zero and the address part is non-zero, the method includes reading the sign from the compressed bitstream and reconstructing the transform coefficient as a function of the address part and sign.
