Abstract: Losartan is prepared by acid catalyzed cleavage of a triarylmethyl group from a triarylmethyl-substituted losartan derivative in a diluent comprising liquid ketone. The reaction mixture is basified and liquid ketone is evaporated from the mixture leaving a residue from which a triarylmethyl alcohol and losartan are each obtained in high yield and high purity. In addition, losartan potassium is prepared by a process that is more convenient that those previously known in the art in which losartan is contacted with potassium ions in substantially pure liquid alcohol and losartan potassium is precipitated from the alcohol.

In some embodiments, respective pluralities of texel reference values and texel values that map thereto are stored for respective ones of a plurality of overlapping blocks of texels. In further embodiments, a first mipmap value for a pixel is bilinearly interpolated from the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A second mipmap value for the pixel is generated by averaging the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A pixel value for the pixel is generated by interpolating between the first and second mipmap values. The present inventin may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

Abstract: A method for simulating a technical system in which a number of simulation steps are implemented. To solve a state description of the technical system, the Jacob matrix is solved in a single pass, without having to take into account the formation of differential quotients. Accordingly the signal inputs and outputs of a dynamic diagram representing the state description of a technical system are expanded so that the differential information for each signal can be determined from the individual state variables.  The invention also relates to a corresponding simulator.

Abstract: An improved method for applying polymeric antireflective coatings to substrate surfaces and the resulting precursor structures are provided. Broadly, the methods comprise plasma enhanced chemical vapor depositing (PECVD) a polymer on the substrate surfaces. The PECVD processes comprise providing a quantity of a polymer generated by introducing monomer vapors into a plasma state followed by polymerization thereof, with assistance of plasma energy, onto the surface of a substrate. The most preferred starting monomers are phenylacetylene, 4-ethynyltoluene, and 1-ethynyl-2-fluorobenzene. The inventive methods are useful for providing highly conformal antireflective coatings on large surface substrates having super submicron (0.25 mum or smaller) features. The process provides a much faster deposition rate than conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods, is environmentally friendly, and is economical.

Abstract: A smoke detector (10) of an obscuration type has an effective light propagation path of substantially greater length than the light propagation paths of conventional obscuration-type smoke detectors to provide increased smoke detection sensitivity without increased background noise or numbers of false alarm incidents. The smoke detector has a light source (40) that emits a light beam (42) that propagates into a detection chamber (12) composed of first and second optical components (14, 16) having respective first and second opposed light reflecting surfaces (18, 20). The light reflecting surfaces reflect the light beam across the detection chamber multiple times before the reflected light beam is incident on a light detector (54). The multiple reflections of the light beam increase its effective path length of propagation within the detection chamber to provide the increased smoke detection sensitivity.

Abstract: A humidity controller apparatus  (10)  includes a refrigerant circuit provided with first and second heat exchangers  (61, 62).  An adsorbent is supported on the surface of each of the first and second heat exchangers  (61, 62).  The refrigerant circuit is configured to allow for switching of the circulation direction of a refrigerant by operation of a four-way selector valve. In addition, in the humidity controller apparatus  (10),  a switching mechanism  (50)  switches the distribution routes of air streams. The humidity controller apparatus  (10)  operates the four-way selector valve and the switching mechanism  (50),  whereby a first air stream is dehumidified in the heat exchanger  (61)  or  (62),  whichever is acting as an evaporator while, on the other hand, a second air stream is humidified in the heat exchanger  (61)  or  (62),  whichever is acting as a condenser. In the humidity controller apparatus  (10),  the operation of the refrigerant circuit and the switching time interval of the air stream distribution routes are set depending on the load of humidity control. As the humidity control load increases, the switching time interval is set smaller.
