Abstract: The administration of between 1900-2600 mg of amoxycillin combined with an amount of potassium clavulanate such that the weight ratio of amoxycillin to potassium clavulanate is from 2:1 to 20:1 in a twice daily (BID) dosage regime provides an effective treatment for human bacterial infections such as those caused by <I>S. pneumoniae,</I> including Drug Resistant <I>S. pneumoniae</I> and Penicillin Resistant <I>S. pneumoniae;</I> H. i<I>nfluenzae</I> and M <I>catarrhalis.</I> The preferred weight ratio of amoxycillin to potassium clavulahate is from 14:1 to 20:1 and preferred dosages are 2000/125, 2250/125 or 2500/125 mg of amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate respectively. The administration of such dosages provides a mean plasma concentration of amoxycillin of 4 g/mL for at least 4.4 hrs and a mean maximum plasma concentration (C<SB>max</SB>) of amoxycillin of 12 g/mL. The dose may be administered as an immediate release formulation or as a modified release formulation in the form of a one or more sachets or one or more tablets (monolith, dispersible, effervescent or chewable type) or one or more capsules. The amoxycillin may be in the form of amoxycillin trihydrate or crystallised sodium amoxycillin. A number of other dosage regimes of amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate are also disclosed, <I>i.e,</I> (a) 1400-1900 mg amoxycillin and an amount of potassium clavulanate such that the weight ratio of amoxycillin to potassium clavulanate is from 2:1 to 14:1 which is administered twice daily; and (b) 950-1300 mg and an amount of potassium clavulanate such that the weight ratio of amoxycillin to potassium clavulanate is from 14:1 to 20:1. These dosage forms may also be formulated as an immediate release formulations in tablet form or as sachet of powder requiring subsequent addition of a liquid carrier prior to administration to the patient. The Any of the dosages disclosed may be formulated as a modified release formulation, such as a layered tablet, preferably a bilayered tablet (see Fig 1A), where all the potassium clavulanate and a first portion of the amoxycillin is present in the first or immediate release layer (1) and the second portion of the amoxycillin is present in the second or slow release layer (2). The bilayered tablet may also contain coating layers (4, 4a) or a barrier layer (3) to allow further modification of the release characteristics of the tablet (see Figs 1B-1E). A number of excipients with release retarding properties may be added to the slow release layer, for example; xanthan gum; cellulose derivatives; polymer materials such as polyvinylalcohol or polyethylene glycols; and/or organic acids, such as citric acid. Alternatively, the dosages may be available as in a kit form comprising an immediate release formulation comprising amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate and a slow release formulation comprising amoxycillin only.

Title: Antenna system for nulling jammer signals
Inventor: TRIPPETT JOHN M
IPC: G01S7/36
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: An antenna nulling system (28, Figure 1) for nulling a jamming signal comprises a multibeam antenna 48, a correlator 72 and antenna pattern calculator 94, a sequential updater 90 and a beamformer 70. The multibeam antenna 48 includes a plurality of antenna elements 50 and is operable to receive a plurality of signals. The correlator 72 receives at least one sample signal from one of the antenna elements 50 and a composite signal from the plurality of antenna elements 50, and determines a cross-correlation of the sample signal and the composite signal. The antenna pattern calculator 94 calculates a difference in pattern magnitude of an adapted antenna pattern and a quiescent antenna pattern of the multibeam antenna 48. The sequential updater 90 sequentially calculates a new weight for each of the antenna elements 50 based upon an existing weight of each antenna element 50, the cross-correlation of the sample and composite signals and the difference in pattern magnitude. The beamformer 70 is in communication with the multibeam antenna 48 and the sequential updater 90 to combine a new weight for each of the antenna elements 50 with the plurality of signals received from the multibeam antenna 48 to null the jamming signal, whilst ensuring that the signal strength to other users of the antenna is maintained and maximised.

Inventor: WAGSTAFF DOUGLAS CLIVE
IPC: C06B21/00
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: An energetic material comprises an energetic crystalline material substantially coated in an energetic plasticiser material. Advantageously the energetic material comprises from 90 to 99% by weight of an energetic crystalline material e.g HNIW, RDX or HMX and from 1 to 10% by weight of an energetic plasticiser material comprising a plasticiser selected from the group comprising Butane Triol trinitrate (BTTN), Trimethylanol ethane trinitrate (TMETN), Diazidonitrazapentane (DANPE), Glycidyl Azide Polymer (Azide Derivative) (GAP Azide), Bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)acetal / bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)formal (BDNPA/F) or mixtures of two or more of these plasticisers. The inventors have found that the combination of just a small quantity of energetic plasticiser material to the energetic crystalline material prior to incorporation into the bulk plasticiser, binder and filler mixture of an explosive or propellant composition reduces the friction sensitivity of the crystalline material.

Title: Converting an audio signal between data compression formats
Inventor: WOODWARD MICHAEL VINCENT
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: A first audio signal in a first data compression format (for example MPEG 1 Layer II), in which a frame includes subband data, is converted into a second audio signal in a second data compression format (for example MPEG 1 Layer III). The subband data is used directly or indirectly so that the audio signal is not fully decoded prior to encoding in the second data compression format. The subband data is the 32 subband analysis coefficients that are output from a filterbank or transform which generates 32 subband representations of an input audio stream. Additional data such as the change in scale factors or the related change in the subband coefficients may be used to estimate a psycho acoustic entropy for the second audio signal which is in turn used to determine window switching for the second audio signal. The signal to mask ratio applied to the first audio signal is used to estimate the signal to mask ratio required for the second audio signal.
