Abstract: The invention concerns a method for dynamically allocating memory workspace of an onboard system to a data structure identified by an identification number (ID_A<SUB>k</SUB>) and the corresponding onboard system. The storage area of the onboard system being subdivided into elementary memory blocks (BL<SUB>1</SUB>), the method is implemented on the basis of an allocation instruction and an erasure instruction. To allocate (A) an elementary memory block, the method consists in assigning an identification number (ID-A<SUB>k</SUB>) to the block concerned. To erase (E) an elementary storage block, the method consists in assigning an arbitrary value (AAAA) different from any identification number. The system is applicable to onboard systems, such as multi-application microprocessor cards.

Abstract: A process is provided for making dry, micronized particles of an agent, such as a drug. The method includes (a) dissolving a macromolecular material, preferably a polymer, in an effective amount of solvent, to form a solution; (b) dissolving or dispersing the agent in the solution to form a mixture; (c) freezing the mixture; and (d) drying by vacuum the mixture to form solid particles of the agent dispersed in solid macromolecular material. The micronization in this process occurs directly in a macromolecular matrix and hardening of the particles of agent by solvent removal takes place by lyophilization of the bulk matrix, which stabilizes the drug particles during hardening and prevents coalescence, thereby resulting in a smaller final drug particles. The method is particularly preferred for protein agents. The process can be used in conjunction with a standard microencapsulation technique, typically following separation of the agent from the macromolecular matrix. The process yields microparticles having a homogenous size distribution, preferably less than 2  mu m, and more preferably less than 1  mu m, in size. The microparticles have well defined, predictable properties, which is particularly critical in drug delivery applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing power consumption of consumer electronic devices that run on a battery or an accumulator, particularly portable applications such as mobile phones, laptops or MPEG players or recorders. They consist essentially of a host and a storage medium like a disk or means for receiving a storage medium like a disk drive that are coupled with an interface. Power management is very important because long battery life enhances user convenience. The invention determines whether it is more efficient either to leave the disk drive in the idle mode or to switch the drive to standby until the next data request appears. The disk drive is entered into the most efficient power mode. The time until the next request is determined by the host.

Abstract: Disclosed is the observation that 7-aryl-quinone methides and 4-tert-butylcatechol, when used in combination in a vinyl aromatic monomer to inhibit polymerization, do not inhibit polymerization to the same extent as each would if used separately. Stated another way, a phenomenon has been observed that when these two compounds are used together, they can, to a large extent, render each other unable to inhibit polymerization in a vinyl aromatic monomer. Also disclosed are methods of preventing adverse results of this interaction when undesired and a method of using this interaction to prepare a reactive vinyl aromatic monomer having a concentration of 4-tert-butylcatechol that would otherwise inhibit polymerization. The invention is disclosed to be useful with the production and storage of any vinyl aromatic monomer and is disclosed to be particularly useful with the production and storage of styrene monomer.
