Inventor: KUMAR YATENDRA
IPC: C07D309/30
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: An improved process of lactonization in the preparation of statins (e.g., the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors lovastatin and simvastatin) employs very mild reaction conditions. The improved process comprises treating the open ring hydroxy acid form of the statins with an excess of acetic acid and in the absence of a strong acid catalyst under mild heating conditions (e.g., ambient to 55°C), and adding an anti-solvent to the reaction mixture, thereby causing the statins in lactone form to crystalize from the reaction mixture. The acetic acid serves as both a solvent and a catalyst for the lactonization reaction.

Abstract: This invention relates to a rubber blend that is
easily processable and that can be beneficially used
in tire tread rubber compositions. This blend offers
particular advantages in cases where silica is used as
a filler in the blend. This is because it is possible
to attain a given level of modulus while employing a
much lower level of silica coupling agent. The blends
of this invention can also be easily mixed while
utilizing a mixing cycle of reduced duration. These
rubber blends also offer excellent tire performance
characteristics such as good traction, treadwear and
rolling resistance. This invention more specifically
discloses a rubber blend which is particularly
suitable for utilization in making tire tread
compounds which is comprised of: (1) from about 1 phr
to about 70 phr of a vinylpyridine containing rubbery
polymer, wherein said vinylpyridine containing rubbery
polymer contains from about 0.5 weight percent to
about 15 weight percent vinylpyridine and wherein said
vinylpyridine containing rubbery polymer has a Mooney
ML 1+4 viscosity of less than about 25, (2) from about
30 phr to about 99 phr of a styrene-butadiene rubber,
wherein said styrene-butadiene rubber has a Mooney ML
1+4 viscosity which is within the range of about 40 to
about 150, (3) a silica filler and (4) a silica
coupling agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a female adult urine management device (10) designed to provide improved body fit between the flange and the skin of the wearer and thereby prevent leakage. The urine management device (10) comprises a bag (11) having an aperture (13), and an flange (12), which surrounds the aperture (21). The flange (12) provides for adhesive attachment to the uro-genital area of the wearer. In particular, the rear portion (46) of the flange comprises a projection (48), which provides an effective seal between the flange (12) and the skin of the wearer and prevent leakage to the urinary tract. In particular the device (10) fits snugly into between the labia and the anus and thereby improves sealing. In another aspect of the present invention, p0rojection acts as a application to assist in the easy and correct positioning of the device.

Abstract: A digital cellular/personal communications service (PCS) application incorporates
a logical link connection (LLC) server. In this approach, there are two ATM connections
in the path of an AAL-2 connection: one between a base station and the LLC Server and
the other between the LLC Server and a vocoder group. All LLCs from, or to, a given
base station use a common ATM connection irrespective of the vocoder used at the other
end. Similarly, all LLCs from, or to, a given vocoder group use a common ATM
connection irrespective of the destination base station at the other end. At the LLC
Server, LLC packets from many base stations destined for the same vocoder group are
extracted and bundled into the ATM connection between the LLC Server and the
destination vocoder group. Similar treatment is given to the packets originating at
vocoders and destined for base stations. Thus, each ATM connection between a
particular base station and the LLC server and each ATM connection between the LLC
Server and a particular vocoder group are used to maximum capacity notwithstanding
each ATM connection conveys LLCs to different LLC endpoints.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of optical communication and
particularly to optical communication techniques which compensate for dispersion
such as that in optical fibres. 
     Known methods for the compensation of optical dispersion in wavelength division
multiplex systems have the disadvantage of associating an optical dispersion
compensation with each used wavelength channel, which causes high costs for the
individual compensation of each wavelength channel. 
     The present invention allows more cost effective compensation of optical dispersion
by optically compensating an optical signal, converting the optical signal to an
electrical signal, and electrically compensating said electrical signal. 
     It is an advantage of the present invention, that it allows to use only one optical
dispersion compensation for compensating for optical dispersion of all channels or
wavelengths used in the wavelength decision system.

Abstract: The use of dual frequencies improves the accuracy of position determination. The high frequency reception provides two digital outputs containing the same code. These are received via two respective carriers. Two sets of replicas of a code near to the code are generated, as well as local images of the two carriers. Punctual and differential correlations are effected, followed by quadratic transformations which are effected between the two digital outputs and the code replicas of the two sets. Time data is also obtained enabling determination of the position of the receiver. Between each correlation and its quadratic transformation there is a low pass filtering, matched to the spectrum of the difference between the real code and the code.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting the sharpness of image values. According to the inventive method, the image values are presented in an original range of values, said image values being produced pixel by pixel. The image signals presented in the original range of values are compressed into an intermediate range of values before the sharpness is corrected. Said intermediate range of values is measured in such a way that the signal exaggerations produced when the sharpness of the compressed image values is corrected fall within the original range of values. The sharpness of the image values is then corrected as follows: surround field values are obtained for the individual pixels by means of evaluating each of the surround fields of said individual pixels, difference values are produced from the image values and surround field values and said image values are then overlaid with difference values of a chosen strength, said difference values serving as a signal for correcting sharpness. The image values with corrected sharpness are then decompressed to the original range of values.
