Abstract: Formulations have been developed for regional delivery of drugs, for example, into a cavity such as the pelvic region, peritoneal region, or directly on organs of interest. Regional delivery increases comfort and bioavailabilty of the drug, resulting in rapid and relatively high blood levels in the regions to be treated in the substantial absence of side effects due to the high levels required for efficacy following systemic delivery. In the preferred embodiment, these formulations consist of drug micro or nanoparticles, which may be formed of drug alone or in combination with an excipient or polymeric carrier. The excipient or polymer may be used to manipulate release rates and to increase adhesion to the affected region. The drug formulation can be applied as a dried powder, a liquid suspension or dispersion, or as a topical ointment, creme, lotion, foam or suppository.

Abstract: In a machine tool, a spindle motor (1) considered as a
heating element, and a spindle head (2) having a spindle
that is driven by the spindle motor (1), are coupled to
each other by a cooling flange (3). The cooling flange (3)
is provided with a cooling passage (4), the cross-sectional
area of which gradually increases with distance from a gas
inlet (4a) supplied with high-pressure gas through a tube
(7), toward a gas outlet (4b). When a high-pressure gas is
injected into the cooling passage (4) through the gas inlet
(4a), it is adiabatically expanded and cooled by the
cooling passage (4) having the gradually increasing cross-sectional
area. Thus, the cooling flange (3) restrains
heat generated in the spindle motor (1) from being
transmitted to the spindle head (2).

Abstract: A watermarked image comprises a plurality of samples with added watermark codeword coefficient values. The image is low pass filtered to generate, for each sample, a local mean which is subtracted from the image to generate a residual signal, from which a local standard deviation for each sample is determined. For each sample, a watermark strength value provides an estimate of the magnitude of embedding, a first and second gaussian likelihood function describe the likelihoods of the embedded watermark codeword coefficient being positive and negative, the first and second gaussian likelihood function having the sum and difference of the local mean and the watermark strength value as means, respectively, and the local standard deviation as a standard deviation. The watermark can be detected in the image based on the above first and second likelihoods. This provides an estimate of the positioning of the watermark within the image.

On the other hand, the above function G 2 (s) is represented by an expression        G   2       s     =       s   2     +   2   ⁢     ζ   21     ⁢     ω   2     +       ω   2     2       /       s   2     +   2   ⁢     ζ   22     ⁢     ω   2     +       ω   2     2       ,        wherein s = a Laplace operator, ζ 21  = a damping coefficient, ζ 22  = a damping coefficient, and ω 1  = an angular frequency. Furthermore, the above damping coefficients ζ 21 , ζ 22  satisfy an expression ζ 21  ≥ ζ 22  ≥ 1. Thus, a filter such as a phase compensator (15b) may attain a design freedom while preventing the increase of arithmetic load, whereby both the suppression of resonance and a good assist response in a normal steering speed region, for example, may be achieved.
