Patent EP-1393418-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HUEBNER BERND
IPC: H01S5/0687
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the average wavelength of a laser, especially a semiconductor laser, comprising a wavelength-selective, at least partially reflecting optical element ( 27 ) and being operated in a unimodal manner. The inventive method involves the following steps: a control variable influencing the optical resonator length (L<SUB>opt</SUB>) of the laser ( 29 ) over a pre-determined range is modified continuously or step-by-step; the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) which is influenced in this way and emerges on the side opposite the optical output of the laser ( 29 ), or the characteristic of a detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power, is detected continuously or step-by-step; and the control variable influencing the optical resonator length (L<SUB>opt</SUB>) is regulated in such a way that a pre-defined value of the increase of the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) or the characteristic of the detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power, is reached in a point inside the control variable range, or a pre-defined value of a functional dependence (F(dP<SUB>mon</SUB>/dL<SUB>opt</SUB>)) is reached, containing the increase of the characteristic of the optical monitoring power (P<SUB>mon</SUB>) or of the characteristic of the detection variable dependent on the optical monitoring power. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.

Patent EP-1459165-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN JOHN Z
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: Electronic image displays, of lists that extend beyond the verti cal display dimension of the display screen, are displaced in the vertical direction by touching the screen with a finger and then moving the finger in the desired direction on the screen. In a natural manner, the initial speed of displacement of the displayed image corresponds to the speed of motion of the finger along the screen. When the user's finger is disengaged from the screen, the system senses the disengagement and thereafter allows the vertical displacement speed of the image to decrease at a controlled rate. When it is desired to stop the motion of the image at a given point, or to make a selection from the displayed image, the system measures the length of time that the finger is in contact with the screen and the distance that the finger is moved during that time, to determine if a selection is desired or if it is desired only to stop displacement of the image. That is, a short term contact with the screen, say 500ms or less, accompanied by little or no displacement on the screen, can be identified as an intended selection, while a longer contact with little or no accompanying displacement can be interpreted as being intended to stop the motion of the image without making a selection.
Patent EP-1460992-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CONSTANTINIDES PANOS P
IPC: A61Q19/00
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods for drug delivery suitable for promoting the transmucosal absorption of drugs, especially drugs with poor intrinsic bioavailability, such as peptides, proteins, vaccines, and nucleic acids. The delivery system of this invention preferably comprises fatty acid esters and their hydrophilic derivatives that associate with water and other polar solvents to form reverse micelles tha are physiclally stabilized in the presence of gastrointestinal fluid, water, and other hydrophilic solvents. Such stable reverse micelles are formed by suitable mixtures of polymeric or non-polymeric compounds with amphiphiles. Micelles made using these methods undergo phase transformation more slowly resulting in delayed drug release profiles and sustained absorption. When administered as a pharmaceutical to mucosal surfaces following oral ingestion or intranasal administration, therapeutic molecules principally solubilized in the aqueous phase are protected from digestion by mucosal enzymes and other mucosal degradative processes and are taken up by absorptive cell mechanisms and reach appropriate body compartments. The reverse micelle compositions may comprise mono-, di-glycerides and/or their transesterifed products containing C6-C12 fatty acids chains, wherein the transester groups consist of hydrohilic moieties.
