Abstract: The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that utilize or comprise tetrac and/or another thyromimetic compound. The parmaceutical compositions of the invention are capable of suppressing TSH secretion without inhibiting the pituitary specific monodeiodinase type II and while reducing or avoiding the thyromimetic stimulation of peripheral tissues compared to equivalent TSH-suppressive doses of L-thyroxine (T4). The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are particularly useful for treating patients suffering from malignancy or abnormal growth of the thyroid and for preventing growth of residual thyroid tissue post thyroidectomy.

Abstract: An electrolysis unit (10, 210, 310) has an anode (16, 216, 316) and a gas diffusion cathode (18, 218, 318). Air is fed to the cathode (18, 218) to generate peroxide species, such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxide ions, or peroxide radicals by electrolysis of oxygenated water. A paracetic acid precursor, such as acetyl salicylic acid, reacts with the peroxide to form peracetic acid. An ion selective barrier (20, 220) optionally separates the unit into two chambers, an anodic chamber (12, 212) and a cathodic chamber (14, 214). By selecting either a proton permeable membrane or an anion exchange membrane for the barrier, the peracetic acid may be formed in either an alkaline electrolyte in the cathodic chamber or in an acid electrolyte in the anode chamber, respectively. In one preferred embodiment, a solution containing the peracetic acid generated is transported to a site where articles, such as medical instruments, are to be decontaminated. The oxidizing species are generated as required, avoiding the need to store hazardous decontaminants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical barrier apparatus which scans a
detection area with an optical beam, and when the scanning beam is blocked by an
object so that a reflection beam is not received, notifies of object presence. An
optical beam from an optical beam generating circuit (11) is reflected by a scan
mirror (12) and a detection area (1) is scanned by a scanning beam (BM1). The
scanning beam (BM1) is reflected by a reflector array (23) of another unit and
received by a light receiving element (14), and the presence/absence of a pulse
deficiency of light reception output is detected by a signal deficiency detection circuit
(15). When the scanning beam (BM1) is blocked by an object (30) so that a part of
the reflection beam from the reflector array (23) cannot be received and a pulse
deficiency occurs in the light reception output, an output (Z1) from the signal
deficiency detection circuit (15) becomes a logic value zero to thus notify of object
presence.

Process for operating a gas generating device comprises operating a reactor adiabatically; and adjusting and maintaining a desired oxygen/carbon ratio based on the temperature of the educts and the reaction temperature. The temperature of the educts is acquired before inserting into the reactor. An oxygen/carbon ratio is determined using comparison values and by controlling the stream of oxygen-containing educts or by controlling the stream of hydrocarbon-containing educts. An instantaneous reaction temperature of the reactor is acquired. A correction value  DELTA  O2/C for the O2/C ratio is determined using comparison values from the temperature difference from the actual temperature and the theoretical reaction temperature. An Independent claim is also included for a gas generating device for carrying out the process comprising a reactor (1) with a catalyst (2) for producing a hydrogen-rich product gas from educts by partial oxidation or autothermal reforming, units (6, 7, 8, 9) for introducing educts and removing products, and units (10, 11, 12, 13) for controlling the stream. The reactor is thermally insulated from the surroundings. Preferred Features: The hydrocarbon-containing educts are made from a liquid fuel, preferably methanol, LPG, natural gas, butane, propane, gasoline or diesel.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the pacing and processing of
inbound calls and outbound calls. Statistics are generated
concerning inbound calls and outbound calls, and concerning
the performance of each agent for inbound calls and
outbound calls. Separate statistics concerning inbound calls
and outbound calls allow a more accurate prediction of call
pacing and handling requirements and of the availability of
an agent so as to maximize the productivity of each agent and
control the on-hold time of inbound and outbound calls.
Each trunk line is designated for inbound calls or outbound
calls and the status of each trunk is monitored. If all of the
trunks allocated to inbound service are in use then some of
the trunks designated for outbound service are redesignated
for inbound service. If more than a predetermined number
of trunks designated for inbound service are not in use then
some of these trunks will be redesignated for outbound
service. Therefore, the rate of answering of inbound calls
and the rate of placement of outbound calls, and the
allocation of trunks between inbound calls and outbound
calls are driven by the frequency, duration and number of
calls and user-selectable options.
