Abstract: Described is a stable pharmaceutical composition of 3-(hydroxymethyl-5,5-diphenylhydantoin disodium phosphate ester, the prodrug of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (phenytoin) a commonly used drug for the treatment and management of epilepsy and other types of convulsive states. It has been found that degradation of the prodrug to phenytoin can be controlled by controlling the pH of the composition. Controlling the pH to between 8.3 to 9.4 results in the production of diphenylglycinamide as the primary degradant and minimization of degradation to phenytoin. If the pH is maintained at a lower or higher value, then the degradation pattern changes, with earlier than expected product failure.

Abstract: An apparatus for highly efficiently encoding digital signals by converting input digital signals into signals on a frequency axis in a blocked form, and encoding the input digital signals with a suitable number of assignment bits for each of said blocks to transmit them, wherein the input digital signals are subjected to the orthogonal conversion and are divided by a critical band, encoded with a suitable number of assignment bits based on an allowable noise level, and are subjected to the floating processing. When the floating processing is to be carried out by a plurality of small blocks of a band narrower than the critical band, information of word length of a small block is transmitted out of the small blocks in the critical bands, in order to reduce the bit number for the word length and to compress the bits. Moreover, when the floating processing is to be carried out by small blocks of bands narrower than the critical bands, allowable noise level and information of word length of a small block are transmitted for each of the critical bands instead of transmitting the floating coefficient for each of the critical bands, in order to decrease the number of transmission bits and to highly compress the bits. When the floating processing is to be carried out by small blocks of bands narrower than the critical bands, furthermore, information of a word length corresponding to the number of assignment bits is transmitted, and information related to allowable noise level whose designated range is deviated toward the lower side from the signal level range within the critical band by a predetermined amount of level, is obtained through a quantization table and is transmitted instead of transmitting the floating coefficient, in order to more highly compress the bits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing at least two fluids comprises a housing (12,22) of a pistol-like configuration having an integral handle (50), in which a spring-biased trigger (60) is received. Within the housing (12,22) of the dispensing device (10), two syringes (80,81) are received and fixated, which syringes contain respective fluids to be accurately dispensed. Provided a cover (22) of the housing is closed, the motion of the trigger (60) relative to the handle (50) is transmitted to a toothed rack which cooperates with a propeller body (70) in a ratchet-like manner. The ratchet-like cooperation allows a uni-directional motion of the propeller body (70) and prevents a motion of the propeller body (70) in the opposite direction. Provided the cover (22) is not closed, the motion of the trigger (60) relative to the handle is not transmitted to the propeller body (70), and any unintentional dispensing of fluids from the dispensing device prior to the preparing of the dispensing device for use by closing the cover (22) is consequently prevented. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

The operation is carried out in a relatively low pressure environment and a feature of the operation is that the seed can penetrate the ground without substantial damage to the seed. Appropriate apparatus is provide to accelerate the seed to the supersonic speed range in a low pressure environment, and in one example this includes a rotor wheel receiving seed appropriately from a supply source, a sufficient rotary speed being imparted to the wheel for the necessary acceleration of the seed which is discharged via an outlet in the wheel. Alternative apparatus includes a low pressure fluid source for seed acceleration via a ducting system and in another example electrostatically charged seed is accelerated by an electrical conductor system.
