Title: Solid pharmaceutical dosage forms in form of a particulate dispersion
Inventor: GHEBRE-SELLASSIE ISAAC
IPC: A61P3/10
Filed: 1998-07-29
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: Solid particulate dispersions of pharmaceutical agents in a matrix of a wate r- soluble polymer exhibiting good aqueous dissolution enhanced bioavailability. The method of the invention utilizes water-soluble polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl cellulose or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose as carriers. The invention provides for mixing or extracting the active ingredients in solid particulate form with the polymeric carrier at a temperature at which the polymer soften s, or even melts, but the drug remains solid or crystalline. The drug particules thus become coated and produce a product that is matrix coated, i.e. a particulate dispersion.

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1998-06-09
Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: The present invention provides obfuscation techniques for enhancing software security. In one embodiment, a method for obfuscation techniques for enhancing software security includes selecting a subset of code (e.g., compiled source code of an application) to obfuscate, and obfuscating the selected subset of the code. The obfuscating includes applying an obfuscating transformation to the selected subset of the code. The transformed code can be weakly equivalent to the untransformed code. The applied transformation can be selected based on a desired level of security (e.g., resistance to reverse engineering). The applied transformation can include a control transformation that can be creating using opaque constructs, which can be constructed using aliasing and concurrency techniques. Accordingly, the code can be obfuscated for enhanced software security based on a desired level of obfuscation (e.g., based on a desired potency, resilience, and cost).

Title: Poudre enduite et son procede de preparation
Inventor: ATARASHI TAKAFUMI
IPC: B22F1/16
Filed: 1998-10-28
Granted: 2010-05-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne une poudre enduite hautement fonctionnelle, pouvant être préparée non pas selon un procédé comprenant l'hydrolyse d'un alcoxyde métallique, mais selon un procédé pouvant être mis en oeuvre sans utiliser un alcoxyde métallique coûteux et un solvant organique fortement inflammable, cette poudre étant ensuite distribuée grâce à une installation antidéflagrante. L'utilisation de cette poudre permet non seulement de réguler la température et l'humidité, mais aussi de faire baisser les coûts de fabrication dans leur ensemble. L'invention concerne également le procédé de préparation de cette poudre. Cette poudre enduite est composée de particules d'un substrat, chacune de ces particules étant recouverte d'un ou plusieurs films, dont au moins un est formé à partir d'un sel métallique par une réaction dans un solvant aqueux, à un pH constant. Ce procédé ne fait pas précipiter un solide à l'état libre (c'est-à-dire qui n'adhère pas à la particule) en phase liquide, et peut permettre d'obtenir un film solide uniforme sur toute la surface de chacune des particules du substrat, tout en empêchant toute agrégation de ces particules.

Title: Anionic surfactants based on alkene sulfonic acid
Inventor: HSU IRIS K
IPC: C07C307/02
Filed: 1998-11-30
Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: New anionic surfactants and methods of preparation which are derived from aromatic or substituted aromatic molecules and alkene sulfonic acid. Wherein the aryl compound is alkylated and sulfonated in one- step with an alkene sulfonic acid prior to sulfonic acid neutralization. The methods allow the functional sulfonate group to be attached to the end of the alkyl chain rather than to the aromatic ring thus allowing for selective substituted groups, either branched, linear or alkoxylated or combinations thereof to be placed on the aryl compound prior to sulfonation and alkylation. The invention uses the alkene sulfonic acid produced from thin-film sulfonation of an alpha-olefin to alkylate benzene, mono-substituted aromatic, poly- substituted aromatic, alkylbenzene, alkoxylated benzene, polycyclic aromatic, mono-substituted polycyclic aromatic, poly-substituted polycyclic aromatic, naphthalene, alkylnaphthalene, phenol, alkylphenol, alkoxylated phenol, and alkoxylated alkylphenolalkyl substituted or polysubstituted cyclic or polycyclic compounds to produce the corresponding sulfonic acid having an additional alkyl group derived from th e alpha-olefin used during the thin-film sulfonation which is either linear or branched.
