Title: Process for preparing drug substances in beadlet form.
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN KENNETH
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 1992-07-01
Abstract: Drug substances in beadlet form are prepared with high bulk density spray-coating onto inert core particles, using coater-granulator apparatus, comprising: forming a fluidised bed of particles of inert core material within the processing chamber of a coater-granulator apparatus by passing a gaseous current between the rotating disc and the inner wall of the processing chamber; and forming beadlets by layering a drug onto the particles of the core material by spray-coating with a solution of the drug; characterised in that during beadlet formation, the spray-coated particles are (i) transferred to a drying zone surrounding the processing chamber, (ii) carried through the drying zone by a gaseous current, and (iii) returned to the processing chamber; the recirculation process being continued until beadlets having the desired drug load are formed.

Granted: 2005-09-07
Abstract: A number of ducts, or microducts 12 are arranged in a bundle 10 in a polygonal arrangement inside a protective sheath 14 in such a way that the relative orientation of each microduct 12 stays the same along the length of the sheath 14. The microducts 12 may be colour coded help distinguish one duct 12 from another. To insert a fibre optic cable into a microduct 12, a plug 100 is fixed to the end of the bundle 10 which allows each microduct 12 to have a connector 26 fitted to which a blowing machine is connected. A cone sleeve 33 and key 32 keeps the bundle in the correct orientation. A guide body 40 has a number of layers 42a,b,c 44a,b,c which form passages 46 and points 52, which, when brought against the bundle 10 channel each microduct 12 into its own passage 46. The channels 46 have openings 58 which receive the connectors 26 which are joined to the microducts 12 and are held in place by a face plate (60, Fig 3c). A fibre optic cable may then be blown down a desired microduct 12.

Title: Monitoring and management of distributed information systems
Inventor: GRELEWICZ ROLAND
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2005-08-11
Granted: 2008-06-11
Abstract: A method of managing a computing system (300) includes generating (1702) transaction requests in accordance with a transaction profile of the system (300). The transaction requests are provided for processing by the system (300). Status data of a set of managed resources (102) of the system (300) is collected (1704) in accordance with a system model stored in a knowledge base (204). Performance indicators of the system (300) are determined (1706) from the status data in accordance with the system model. The transaction performance of the system (300) is monitored (1710) by comparing the performance of the system (300) in processing the transaction requests with an expected performance. When a degradation in transaction performance is detected, a signal (1712) is generated to indicate that a degradation in performance has occurred, to enable the status data and/or performance indicators to be analysed at the time at which the performance degradation occurs. The method improves over prior art management methods by providing for the simultaneous measurement of the transaction performance of the system (300), along with monitoring of defined status and performance metrics, thereby enabling correlation between changes in performance and changes in the status of the system. A corresponding computer implemented means for managing a computer system, and computer program products, are also provided.

Title: Self-locking hinge
IPC: E05D3/02
Filed: 1978-12-22
Granted: 1982-06-03
Abstract: {PG,1 A self-locking hinge for use as a pivotal connector between two pivoted members and adapted to lock the members in a fixed angular relation. The hinge comprises a pair of circular plates that are rigidly affixed to opposite faces of one member and rotatably connected to the other member. The circular plates are used to laterally support both of the members and to guide the other member as it is rotated from a folded position to a fully extended position. The hinge is locked in the fully extended position by means of a locking ring that is slidably engaged with the other member. When such other member is fully extended, the ring engages corresponding locking indentations at the periphery of the circular plates and thereby blocks the movement of the other member in one angular direction. The movement of the other member is blocked in the opposite angular direction due to the abutting of the hinge ends of the members. The members may be returned to the folded position by releasing the locking ring from its engagement with the indentations in the circular plates. The operation of the self-locking hinge of the invention is particularly described with respect to a door security apparatus adopted to engage a door and a floor to resist the opening of the door. A further embodiment uses the self-locking hinge of the invention to provide a means to convert a stepladder to a straight ladder of increased height.

Granted: 1996-04-10
Abstract: A furnace (1) has a main holding (2) and a charging well (4) into which molten metal from the holding portion is circulated by means of an electromagnetic pump (7). Metal enters the well as a tangential flow and a stationary turbulator (10) is located in the path of the flow so as to upwardly and transversely deflect the flow.

Title: Method and apparatus for altering the torque in a drive train of a motor vehicle
Inventor: TEBBE GERHARD
IPC: F16H59/18
Filed: 1996-09-30
Granted: 1999-07-14
Abstract: Altering torque in a drive train 10 of a motor vehicle can lead to vibrations in the drive train. To minimise such vibrations, when a torque change is required, eg by operation of throttle pedal 40, a computing device 42 computes the value of the adjusting magnitude required for an adjusting member such as injector 44 to produce the torque change. The computing device then splits the adjusting magnitude value into a first partial value and at least one further partial value and determines at least one time dependent on the operating state of the drive train 10 such that, if the partial values are applied at intervals separated by that time, at least partial destructive interference of vibrations of the drive train will be produced. A control device 54 then controls the adjusting member 44 initially on the basis of the first partial value, and then, after the determined time, on the basis of a further partial value. Operation of the clutch may alternatively be controlled.
