Title: Process for enrobing a core
Inventor: BUNICK FRANK J
IPC: A61K9/28
Filed: 2003-05-14
Abstract: A process for enrobing a core, such as a tablet core, uses a coating that is made of a patterned fiilm having portions that are visually distinct (.e.g, differently colored) from one another and having a transition line segment between these visually distinct portions. At feast a portion of an outer surface of the core is covered with the film, such that the transition line segment forms a substantially continuous transition line on the coating and such that a film seam is formed which is different from the transition line. Alternatively, the coating is formed from two such patterned films, in which case the outer surface of the core is covered with the two filrns such that the two transition line segments cooperate to form a substantially continuous transition line on the coating and a film seam is formed which is different from the transition line. Prior to covering the outer surface of the core, the two films may be oriented such that the resulting enrobed core has a bi-colored coating with two visually distinct portions each lying on opposite sides of the transition tine of the coating. The two films may also be oriented such that the resulting enrobed core has four alternately arranged colored portions, two of which are of a first color and the other two of which are of a second color, thereby resulting in a "checkerboard" effect.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système conçu pour commander le fonctionnement d'un dispositif de biopsie à aspiration par aiguille fine (   fine needle aspiration     / FNA) comprenant une seringue vers laquelle est transféré un échantillon tissulaire extrait d'une zone cible interne du corps d'un patient chez lequel l'aiguille est introduite. A ce dispositif de biopsie est associé un instrument d'imagerie aux ultrasons présentant un transducteur placé sur un site du corps recouvrant la zone cible interne, et couplé à un moniteur à tube cathodique (CTR). L'aiguille est introduite chez le patient via un passage de guidage dans le transducteur, et apparaît ainsi sur l'écran CTR une image de la zone cible interne et celle de l'aiguille en cours d'avancement. Le dispositif de biopsie est commandé par un mécanisme à entraînement pneumatique ou motorisé couplé d'un point de vue fonctionnel pour guider un tube de guidage à travers lequel s'étend l'aiguille. Dans une première phase du cycle de fonctionnement, le mécanisme fait avancer l'aiguille à travers la zone cible afin d'en extraire un échantillon tissulaire. Dans une deuxième phase de fonctionnement, le mécanisme agit pour retirer l'aiguille contenant le tissu, du corps du patient. Et dans une phase finale du cycle de fonctionnement, l'échantillon est transféré de l'aiguille à la seringue de laquelle il peut être retiré pour être analysé.

IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A system and method for warm shutdown and restart of a buffer pool is provided. The buffer content including pages and control structures associated with these pages is partitioned into blocks and each block is saved to disk as a sequential file. The size of each block may be selected to provide the optimal I/O (input/output) efficiency during buffer pool shutdown and restart operations. Blocks can be saved simultaneously using a number of writer threads. During restart of the buffer pool, the control information is read from the disk and restored to the buffer pool using reader threads. The buffer pool may be made available for references to pages while reader threads are enabled to read the saved information by blocks to facilitate a more rapid restoration of information in the buffer pool. Allocation of portions of the buffer pool for restoring pages may be performed while the buffer pool is available for references to hasten availability.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système servant à réguler la vitesse d'un véhicule au moyen du frein moteur. Le véhicule est pourvu d'un dispostiif de freinage moteur automatique (300), le frein moteur étant utilisé si une vitesse seuil prédéterminée est dépassée. Dans un véhicule présentant plusieurs moteurs combinés (170, 182), notamment un moteur situé sur le camion tracteur (168) et l'autre monté sur la remorque (180), lorsque le frein moteur est utilisé, le freinage du moteur de remorque (182) est toujours supérieur à celui du freinage du camion tracteur (170), la remorque (180) agissant comme une ancre. Normalement, le freinage moteur de la remorque (180) est au maximum, tandis qu'il s'effectue seulement sur certains des cylindres du moteur du camion tracteur (170), normalement sur 4 cylindres d'un moteur à 6 cylindres. Le conducteur peut utiliser une commande de surpassement manuelle, ce qui permet d'utiliser le frein à moteur n'importe quand et d'augmenter le freinage du moteur du camion tracteur si nécessaire, cela sans avoir à désengager ou à commander le freinage automatique.
