Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren und ein Coder/Decoder zur Codierung/Decodierung eines Zielbereichs aus einem Wertebereich vorgeschlagen, bei dem in einem Codierungs/Decodierungs-Schritt für den Zielbereich ein Rekursionsschritt wiederholt wird, bis Codebits für den zu codierenden Zielbereich gefunden sind oder anhand der Codebits der zu decodierende Zielbereich gefunden ist. Bei dem Rekursionsschritt wird ein Intervall des Wertebereichs, in dem sich der zu codierende/decodierende Zielbereich befindet, in zwei neue Intervalle aufgeteilt und es wird durch ein einzelnes Bit signalisiert, in welchem der neuen Intervalle sich der zu codierende/decodierende Zielbereich befindet. Das so signalisierte neue Intervall wird als Intervall für den nächsten Rekursionsschritt verwendet. Die Codebits für den zu codierenden Zielbereich oder der zu decodierende Zielbereich ist gefunden, wenn das Intervall eine Mindestgröße unterschreitet. Bei mindestens einem Rekursionsschritt wird eine Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung für den Zielbereich im Intervall zugrunde gelegt und aufgrund der Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung werden die neuen Intervalle gewählt.

Abstract: A toothbrush that facilitates brushing even by individuals with limited manipulative dexterity includes a handle, a head mechanically coupled to the handle, and an array of bristles secured to the head and extending outwardly therefrom in a plurality of directions, such that, when the head and the array of bristles are viewed in cross-section, the bristles occupy a first sector of a circular area that is greater than sixty (60) degrees, but less than or equal to two hundred forty (240) degrees of the circular area, and wherein the remaining at least one hundred twenty (120) degrees of the circular area is devoid of any bristles. Such attachment of the bristles increases the likelihood that the teeth will be brushed properly irrespective of the orientation of the head in the mouth, while also reducing the likelihood that sensitive areas of the mouth will likewise be brushed. In another embodiment, the toothbrush includes a head, an array of bristles extending outwardly from the head, and a substantially C-shaped handle mechanically coupled to the head. The C-shape of the handle enables the handle to be easily grasped by users, while also facilitating improved maneuverability of the toothbrush, providing over-insertion protection, and being amenable to caregiver assistance.

Abstract: La combinaison d'amlodipine avec de l'atorvastatine ou un métabolite d'atorvastatine produit un effet antioxydant synergique sur la peroxydation lipidique dans les lipoprotéines de basse densité et les vésicules membranaires humaines enrichies avec des acides gras polyinsaturés. On a observé que cette combinaison médicamenteuse inhibait l'activité nuisible des radicaux hydroxy à des niveaux thérapeutiques, propriété impossible à reproduire par la combinaison d'amlodipine avec d'autres statines ou avec la vitamine E, antioxydant naturel. On attribue cette puissante activité aux structures chimiques de ces composés et à leurs interactions moléculaires avec des molécules phospholipidiques, comme l'ont montré les analyses par diffraction de rayons X. Cette polythérapie peut servir à traiter les troubles cardiovasculaires, et notamment la coronaropathie, grâce à l'augmentation de la résistance des lipoprotéines de basse densité et des membranes cellulaires vasculaires aux modifications oxydatives.

Abstract: Polycarbonate produced by melt condensation of a diaryl carbonate and a dihydric phenol in the presence of a basic catalyst to produce an intermediate polycarbonate composition is finished by quenching with both an alkyl tosylate quencher and phosphorous acid. The efficiency of quenching can be measured by UV retention. Surprisingly, although phosphorous acid alone has no impact on the UV retention, the combination of alkyl tosylate quenchers and phosphorous acid provides a significant improvement over the use of the alkyl tosylate quencher alone. Thus, the method of the invention permits a reduction in the amount of alkyl tosylate quencher used, and can achieve superior results which cannot be achieved even by increasing the alkyl tosylate levels.

Abstract: A method is provided for the selective deposition of an organic solderability preservative (OSP) coating on copper surfaces of articles such as electronic components, e.g., printed wiring boards, to serve as a protective coating and preserve the solderability of the copper surface while substantially excluding gold surfaces from attracting the same OSP coating which coating causes cosmetic defects in the form of staining and may reduce the conductivity of the gold contact surface. The method improves the conventional OSP process and utilizes a pre-treatment of the copper surface before applying the OSP coating comprising treating the cleaned and preferably micro-etched copper with an aqueous solution of benzimidazole or derivative thereof to form a precoat on the copper surface. After the pre-treatment step, the precoated copper surface is conventionally treated with a suitable OSP solution such as an aqueous solution of a substituted benzimidazole compound, preferably at the 2-position.
