Abstract: The invention herein provides for a blister pack which confines the movement a dosage form in order to resist damage thereto during handling and transportation while permitting removal of the intact dosage form, and apparatus and methods for the same. In particular, the invention provides a blister pack wherein the blister includes a protruding region between the opening and the base, thereby producing a constricted area or "neck" in the blister. In a preferred embodiment, the protruding region comprises an inwardly directed annulus formed in the blister wall. Accordingly, vertical movement of the dosage form is confined as a result of the protruding region, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage to the dosage form caused by agitation of the blister pack. The invention is particularly useful in packaging frangible pharmaceutical dosage forms formed in situ within in the blister, such as freeze dried dosage forms and rapidly dissolving oral dosage forms.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for slotting or folding homogeneous, multilayer plastic materials or rigid plastic materials, which are reinforced by crosspieces, on processing plotters. According to the invention, the plastic material is, prior to the mechanical slotting process involving the use of a pressing slotting tool (7), thermally softened in close spatial proximity by means of an immediately preceding, specific and controlled action of light radiation containing infrared portions. The action of intensive light containing a high proportion of infrared light results in an internal heating of the plastic material that enables slotting or folding by the application of pressure effected by an otherwise unheated slotting tool.

Abstract: A transparent polyurethane-hydrogel composition includes a reaction product in aqueous solvent of a prepolymer and a water-soluble crosslinker in the substantial absence of organic solvent, and such a composition can be prepared by admixing a prepolymer and a water-soluble crosslinker in aqueous solvent and in the substantial absence of organic solvent. A prepolymer is present in an amount of no greater than about 5 weight percent based on total weight of all hydrogel components. The prepolymer is generally prepared from at least one water-soluble polyol and an isocyanate. A water-soluble crosslinker generally has a crosslinker functionality of at least 2 and is selected to provide a site ratio of initial isocyanate to crosslinker (i.e., moles NCOxfunctionality/moles crosslinkerxfunctionality) of at least about 1.5 and no greater than about 2.6. In one embodiment, a crosslinker is effective to react with and solubilize residual isocyanate concurrently with the reaction between prepolymer and crosslinker. A transparent polyurethane-hydrogel composition has desirable gel physical properties and is useful for an air-freshener application.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates speculative load operations in a multiprocessor system. This system operates by maintaining a record at an L2 cache of speculative load operations that have returned data values through the L2 cache to associated L1 caches, wherein a speculative load operation is a load operation that is speculatively initiated before a preceding load operation has returned. In response to receiving an invalidation event, the system invalidates a target line in the L2 cache. The system also performs a lookup in the record to identify affected L1 caches that are associated with speculative load operations that may be affected by the invalidation of the target line in the L2 cache. Next, the system sends replay commands to the affected L1 caches in order to replay the affected speculative load operations, so that the affected speculative load operations take place after invalidation of the target line in the L2 cache.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methionine rich food products that have been modified so as to reduce their boosting effect on serum homocysteine concentration. More particularly, the invention is concerned with food products comprising at least 5% proteinaceous matter by weight of dry matter, wherein at least 50% of the proteinaceous matter is of animal origin or derived from seeds, nuts, grain or pulses, and wherein the amino acid profile of the food products has been altered to contain elevated amounts of cysteine, and optionally serine. Typically, the present food products contain the amino acids cysteine [Cys] and methionine [Meth] in a molar ratio which meets the following equation: [Cys] / [Meth] >/=2:1. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of the aformentioned food products in a method of treating or preventing elevated plasma concentrations of homocysteine. Yet another aspect of the invention is concerned with a method of modifying a methionine rich food product by incorporating therein a source of cysteine, and optionally a source of serine.

Abstract: The arrangement has output stages for generating signals for activating/deactivating working equipment, forming slaves in a master/slave bus system and controlled according to code stored in a safety monitor for signals passed over the bus system. In response to a master request call the monitor sends a code to the master that is detected by the slaves, which send a reply dependent on evaluating the code in response to a second master request call.  The arrangement has output stages (3) for generating a number of switching signals for activating/deactivating connected working equipment (2). The output stages are slaves in a master/slave bus system with an associated safety monitor (9) for monitoring the signals passed over the bus system. The output stages are controlled in accordance with code stored in the safety monitor, which sends a code to the master (4) in response to a master request call that is detected by the slaves, which send a reply dependent on evaluating the code in response to a second master request call.
