Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode permettant de traiter des troubles neurologiques. Cette méthode consiste, par exemple, à administrer des doses d'antidépresseurs quotidiennes plus élevées. Ces doses plus élevées permettent d'obtenir une meilleure efficacité médicamenteuse, un maintien de la tolérance positive du patient, un profil de sécurité positif du patient (par exemple, une dose limitant la toxicité), une concentration plasmique de médicament maximale adaptée (Cmax), et/ou une administration quotidienne (QD) contre une administration biquotidienne (BID). Dans cette invention, on a démontré que des doses d'antidépresseurs quotidiennes augmentées qui devraient normalement provoquer des effets négatifs, peuvent être administrées sans tolérance négative du patient (c'est-à-dire sans effets indésirables) par utilisation progressive des doses dans le temps. Ces escalades posologiques permettent d'utiliser des quantités plus efficace d'antidépresseurs que d'ordinaire. De même, il est possible d'employer des niveaux plus élevés de médicament en circulation chez des patients, par administration du composé présenté en doses fractionnées pendant toute la journée plutôt qu'une seule fois par jour.

Abstract: A method and device for compressing a text string into a compressed string, taking into account case sensitivity of the text string. Compression can be performed in lossy mode or lossless mode. In lossy mode, the text string is parsed to determine its case sensitivity so that a search for finding a match for the text string in a reference source is based on the case sensitivity. Alternatively, the case configuration of the characters in the text string is transformed into a target case, and a case-sensitive search is performed to find a match for the case-transformed text string. In lossless mode, a case-insensitive search is performed for finding a match for the text string regardless of its case sensitivity, and a case-info-element is attached to the compressed string so that the compressed string can be reconstructed based on the case-info-element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for applying an adjustable tensile-stress distribution, in particular in the edge regions during the cold-rolling of metal strips ( 16 ), in particular metal foil, in order to reduce the risk of an excessive build-up of tension and cracks at the edges of the strip, which can lead as a negative consequence to cracks in the strip and to a reduction in production, and in order to improve the surface of the strip and its planarity, even for a relatively high strip displacement speed, and also to reduce strip trimming widths. To achieve these aims, at least one or a combination of two of the following measures are implemented: a) separation of lubrication and cooling of the working rolls by lubricating on the run-in side and cooling on the discharge side, b) additional influencing of the strip edges using a hot edge spray", in particular by spraying ( 21 ) rolling oil with differing temperatures in zones, c) use of a special cross-sectional configuration of the working rolls ( 12, 12 ') in the vicinity of the strip edges, which creates a partial material build-up during the blooming pass, said build-up forming a longer strip edge with subsequent passes, thus counteracting the risk of an excessive build-up of tensile stress.
