Title: New combined process for the purification of vancomycin hydrochloride
Inventor: TURKALJ ROBERT
IPC: C07K9/00
Filed: 1996-02-06
Abstract: The present invention discloses a new process for the purification of vancomycin hydrochloride by combining preparative chromatography on a silica gel column and the precipitation with ethanol from a salt-water-ethanolic solution without intermediary filtering, whereby the chromatographic purity of the product is improved.  The chromatography is carried out on a column containing a silica gel stationary phase and an alkaline-water-methanolic mobile phase at defined pH, mobile phase flow and temperature as well as the amount and concentration of vancomycin hydrochloride. The process is distinguished by the yield and chromatographic purity of the obtained product of about 93% area.   Vancomycin hydrochloride purified according to the present invention is useful for peroral as well as parenteral administration since the portion of impurities it contains is for one third smaller than in hitherto available products.

Inventor: STEWART WILLIAM C
IPC: B01J2/00
Filed: 1997-01-03
Abstract: A pelletized composition and method of using this composition for removing pollutants from storm water runoff. A bed of the pellets (10) has a useful initial permeability to storm water runoff, and retains a significant proportion of this permeability for a period of several years. Preferably, the pellets are dried to a moisture content of less than 25 % so that they are able to withstand a crush force of at least 7 lb., without structural failure. Optionally, the pellets may contain gravel that forms a core (12) of the compost pellet and that assists in causing the compost (14) to agglomerate into a rounded pellet. When immersed in water, the pellets retain the original dry shape and maintain a significant proportion of the crush strength while providing interstitial spaces through which storm water can flow thereby reducing the problem of sedimentation that is encountered in unpelletized beds of compost used in this service.

Patent CA-2254493-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAZARTES DANIEL A
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 1998-11-25
Abstract: The invention is a method for improving the performance of a fiber-optic gyro comprising counter-propagating light beams from a broadband source in an optical fiber configured as a coil. The fiber-optic gyro is of the type where the phases of the light beams are step-modulated at one or both ends of the optical fiber at time intervals equal to the light propagation time ~ through the optical fiber, the step being in the range from 0 to 2.pi.-.delta. radians where .delta. is an infinitesimal. The step is the sum of an estimate of the Sagnac phase residual ~SE with reversed sign and the quantity (2.pi.k + j~M) where the index k can take on the values -1, 0, and 1, and the index j can take on the values -1 and 1. The phase angle ~M is a positive constant less than .pi. radians. The method comprises the steps of determining the interferometer output light intensity, determining the Sagnac fringe number n , calculating the error P nkj in the interferometer output light intensity attributable to the use of a broadband light-beam source for particular values of an index pair (kj), determining estimates (A kj) of the probabilities of the index pairs (kj) by counting the occurrences of each index pair (kj) over a period of time, and determining the bias .epsilon. in the output of a fiber-optic gyro. The bias .epsilon. can be made independent of the Sagnac fringe number by proper design of the statistical properties of the phase modulating function.
