Abstract: The present application is concerned with a solid slow release pharmaceutical dosage unit. More specifically, the invention is directed to a tablet form prepared by direct compression of cross-linked amylose (CLA) having a definite cross-linking degree, (alpha)-amylase and a pharmaceutical agent. The presence of the cross-linked amylose allows a sustained release of the drug, while the (alpha)-amylase permits the modulation of the release time. In other words, the release time of the drug is function of the amount of (alpha)-amylase in the tablet. The amount of (alpha)-amylase is defined in terms of Enzyme Units.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device is constituted by disposing a ferroelectric liquid crystal between a pair of substrates having thereon electrodes for voltage application and provided with uniaxial alignment axes, as by rubbing, so as to provide a high pretilt angle of at least 10 degrees. A problematic liquid crystal movement in such a high-pretilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal device is suppressed by improving a smectic layer structure therein, inclusive of a symmetry of pretilt angles at the pair of substrate boundary surfaces. Such an improved smectic layer structure is accomplished by a realigning treatment after cooling to the chiral smectic phase or in the final stage of the cooling to the chiral smectic phase as by application of an AC electric field and/or by repetitive heating-cooling in the chiral smectic phase. The improved smectic layer structure is represented by, e.g., an X-ray diffraction peak having an increased peak area and/or a decreased half-value width. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) and D.C. offset correction method and apparatus for controlling signal power of a received RF signal within a dual mode quadrature receiver is disclosed herein. In a preferred implementation the automatic gain control apparatus may be adjusted to provide a desired control response to various fading characteristics of a received FM, FSK, GMSK, QPSK, or BPSK signal. The AGC apparatus includes an adjustable gain amplifier having an input port for receiving an input signal, a control port for receiving a gain control signal, and an output port for providing an output signal. A quadrature downconverter coupled to the output port serves to translate the frequency of the output signal to a baseband frequency, thereby producing baseband signals. In a preferred implementation the downconverter is operative to map the carrier frequency of the output signal to a baseband frequency offset by a predetermined margin from D.C. Two high gain active lowpass filters provide out-of-band signal rejection for the baseband signals. A D.C. feedthrough suppression loop, disposed to receive said baseband signal, suppresses D.C. offsets produced by the downconverter and lowpass filters, hence providing a compensated baseband signal. The AGC apparatus is further disposed to generate a received power signal based on the power of the output signal. A saturating integrator compares the received power signal to a reference signal and produces the gain control signal by integrating or by refraining from integration based on values of the reference, received power signal, and gain control signals, thereby extending the usable dynamic range of the receiver for FM mode.
