Title: Flowable oxytetracycline hydrochloride
Inventor: SZARVAS MIKLOS
IPC: C07C233/00
Filed: 1984-05-02
Granted: 1987-10-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of easy-flowing (flowable) oxytetracyclin hydrochloride. According to the process of the invention, the crude, dry or filter-wet oxytetracyclin hydrochloride consisting of needle-shaped crystals is boiled with an organic solvent forming an azeotropic mixture with water, optionally a part of the solvent is distilled off in a form of an azeotropic mixture, then the mixture is cooled and the precipitated oxytetracyclin hydrochloride consisting of spherical crystals is separated and dried. Oxytetracyclin hydrochloride exists in two various crystal forms, the one of which is needle-shaped, while the other one consists of orthorhombic sheets. The crystals of this latter form are capable of forming spherical particles by coalescence. The crystal form consisting of spherical particles is much more useful for the pharmaceutical industry. By means of the new process easy-flowing (flowable) oxytetracyclin hydrochloride can be prepared in a favorable yield and with a high purity from the crude hydrochloride product consisting of needle-shaped crystals.

Title: Distributed control method and apparatus for implementing protection switching
Inventor: DEMIRAY SAHABETTIN CAN
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 1993-05-19
Granted: 1995-10-26
Abstract: Redundant facility payload signals (12, 14) received by redundant interface modules (16, 18) are redundantly provided (28, 30; 32, 34) to redundant downstream modules (24, 26) in an equipment (10). A non-symmetrical facility protection algorithm is resident in the B interface module (18). Symmetrical equipment protection algorithms are independently resident and operative in each module of pairs of identical A and B modules at each stage of the data stream. Module or data failures result in switchover only of the disabled data path or module so that the ability to transport payload is maintained and other modules or data paths are unaffected. Facility switchover is effected by detecting a working line failure and transmitting commands to switch the protection line to the A path modules. Equipment switchover is effected by checking for a working or protection module failure independently in each path and independently communicating independent switchover decisions to the other side and downstream. The methodology and mechanism are disclosed in a SONET element embodiment, although the invention is applicable in other contexts. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
