Abstract: Compounds which are otherwise difficult to solubilize, such as, for example, pharmaceutical actives difficult for the body to absorb, are solubilized into a composition using a solvent system that is a structured fluid. The structured fluid is a reversed cubic phase or reversed hexagonal phase material, or a combination thereof, which includes a polar solvent, a surfactant and a non-paraffinic liquid with a high octanol-water partition coefficient which does not qualify as a surfactant. The compositions thus formed are able to enhance absorption of drugs by the induction of local, transient nanopores in biomembrane absorption barriers and particularly those in which efflux mechanisms, such as those associated with P-glycoprotein and/or cytochrome 3A4, are active. The compositions and methods that are used for solubilizing pharmaceutical actives in structured fluids can simultaneously accomplish solubilization of difficultly soluble drugs and enhancement of absorption.

Title: Diagnostic signal processing method and system
Inventor: HEIM WARREN P
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2003-11-14
Abstract: A signal processing utility (7) is disclosed involving time-to-frequency domain transforms for applications including medical diagnostic signal processing. Such transforms can be used to define a continuous spectral density function or other spectral density function including non-zero values at irregularly spaced frequency intervals. The invention thereby enables more accurate representation of certain real spectra and reduced spectral broadening. The utility also accounts for digitization errors associated with analog-to-digital conversion. The invention has particular advantages with respect to medical contexts where the received signal has a changing spectral content as a result of interaction of an interrogating signal (2) with moving physiological material such as blood flowing through an artery.

Abstract: Un récepteur distribué, piloté par l'émetteur, utilisant la diversité multi-utilisateur crée par la distribution du récepteur. On tire profit des variations sans corrélations sur la durée affectant l'état des liaisons de communication entre un émetteur commun et plusieurs utilisateur. Plus la qualité d'une liaison particulière varie dans le temps, plus le débit de l'ensemble du système augmente. Des mesures au niveau de l'ordonnanceur permettent de représenter la qualité instantanée de la liaison de communication entre chacun des utilisateurs et l'émetteur par rapport à la qualité moyenne de la liaison. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ces mesures représentent l'état instantané du canal par rapport au débit moyen en données via ce canal. La station émettrice commune utilise ces mesures ordonnanceur pour comparer directement l'intérêt qu'il y a à accorder chaque accès canal avec l'intérêt qu'il y a à accorder des accès canal réciproques. Les utilisateurs dont les mesures ordonnanceur sont les plus grandes ont accès aux canaux.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and apparatus for more accurately determining the thickness of a refractory lining included in an operating metallurgical furnace. Specifically, in some embodiments a transient propagated stress wave is used to determine the condition of a refractory lining, and additionally, provide a systematic way to include the affect that temperature has on the velocity of a compressive wave through a heated refractory material and/or accretions. As identified in aspects of the present invention, and contrary to the common understanding in the art, the velocity of a stress wave, at each frequency and in a refractory material, is not necessarily constant over a temperature range. In accordance with aspects of some specific embodiments of the invention, a scaling factor .alpha. can be calculated for each refractory material to adjust for the presumed velocity of the stress wave through each refractory material.

Title: Submerged power generating apparatus
Inventor: MANCHESTER JONATHAN RALPH
IPC: F03B13/10
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: An undersea power generation apparatus (1) comprises two turbines (3) mounted side by side at either side of a support strut, each turbine (3) having a set of turbine blades which counter rotate. The apparatus (1) is pivotally interconnected at point (9) to a pair of mooring cables (7). The turbines (3) are positively buoyant such that in zero current they point vertically upwards. When the current flows in the direction shown by arrow A, the drag forces on turbines (3) and support strut cause the apparatus (1) to pivot about pivot point (9) and pitch over into the condition denoted by (10). When the tide begins to change direction, the magnitude of the water current flowing past the apparatus (1) decreases. Accordingly, the apparatus (1) will tend to float back into the vertical condition. Eventually, due to the effect of the tide, water will begin to flow in the direction shown by arrow B, and the apparatus (1) will pitch over into the position denoted by (12).
