Abstract: Cis/trans Tilidine base with an enhanced content of the trans isomer is prepared by mixing a substantially pure cis Tilidine base with water under acidic conditions, preferably using phosphoric acid, at pH values between 2 to 6. Alternatively the substantially pure cis Tilidine base is mixed with a solvent, especially diisopropylethylamine or dimethylformamide under basic conditions at pH values of from 8 to 14. The reaction mixtures thus formed are heated to yield isomerised cis/trans Tilidine base with an enhanced content of the trans isomer.

Abstract: A compression system and process include adaptive quantization for selection of one quantizer, for each video frame or frame portion, from a group of quantizers, where each quantizer is a set of predefined quantizer values, and coding of the quantized values using a common entropy coding table for all quantizers, or a separate entropy coding table for each quantizer. The entropy coding tables are obtained during a training procedure. The selection of the quantizer is based on a formula which takes into account the distortion and bit rate characteristics of each quantizer. A similar formula, based on the distortion and bit rate characteristics, is used to select the particular quantizer value within the chosen quantizer for each video signal value being coded.

Abstract: A method for treating sludge from wastewater purification is described. In the method, a sludge is treated, which contains phosphorus and at least one metal which originates from precipitation chemicals and which is selected among divalent iron and aluminum, the pH of the sludge being adjusted to below 4, preferably below 2, for dissolving the content of the phosphorus and said metal in the sludge; the remaining sludge is separated; the solution relieved of sludge and containing phosphorus and said metal is treated for precipitation of the phosphorus content of the solution as FePO4 at a pH of 2-3; and precipitated FePO4 is separated. The method is characterized in that the solution which remains after separation of FePO4 and which contains said metal from the precipitation chemicals, is recycled to the wastewater purification. The phosphorus content of the solution is precipitated as FePO4 by adding an at least equivalent amount of Fe3-.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for cyclic ventricular pacing starting at a rate just above the intrinsic atrial firing rate (overdrive pacing), followed by relaxation to a rate just below the intrinsic atrial firing rate (ventricular escape). The method and apparatus can be applied to one or both ventricles, and can utilize one or more electrodes per ventricle. The electrode(s) can be applied to inner or outer ventricular surfaces. Relaxation protocols as a function of time can be linear, curvilinear to include exponential, or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, relaxation protocols can include one or more periods of time during which the pacing rate is held constant. Typically, the average ventricular pacing rate using this invention will be slightly greater than the intrinsic atrial firing rate, though alternate embodiments that encompass average ventricular pacing rates that are equal to or slightly less than the intrinsic atrial firing rate are also envisioned. Application of this method and apparatus to a heart in need thereof will produce a heart with an optimally minimized energy output requirement.

Abstract: A tubular casing for use with food products which includes knitted stockinette, longitudinal threads and circumferential spiral threads that are held to stockinette by stitches located along the length of the casing. Each thread comprises an elastic thread formed from an inextensible yarn spirally wrapped around the outside of a rubber thread. As thread is stretched, the rubber thread extends and the helix angle of the spirally wrapped yarn reduces to the point where the yarn approximates a straight line. The inextensible yarn resists further stretching beyond this point. This point is the elastic limit for thread and it can be adjusted by varying the helix angle during manufacture of the elastic thread. Threads therefore allow the casing to be filed to a predetermined maximum diameter and result in the filled casing having a constant diameter throughout its length.

Abstract: An apparatus (402, 404) is provided for detecting link imbalances in a digital cellular communications system including a plurality of wireless units (400) and base stations. The apparatus (402, 404) determines if a link failure in a first radio link between a wireless unit (400) and a base station during call initialisation, whether the link failure is a reverse or forward link failure, whether the link failure is due to a link imbalance in the first radio link, and if so instructs the wireless unit (400) to switch to a second radio link. If the link failure is due to a weak reverse link, the apparatus (402, 404) determines the maximum number of access probes. If the wireless unit (400) has transmitted the maximum number of probes, then communication is initiated on a secondary communication system, or an idle state is entered and communication reinitiated with a primary digital cellular communication system.

Abstract: In the mobile radio communication system where the UMTS and an another system coexist an idle slot for observing the frequency component of another system is inserted in one superframe of UMTS. The duration of this idle slot is at most half of the duration of one frame that form the superframe and it is inserted at an interval of a specified number of frames. Therefore, the frequency component of the another system can be observed securely from the UMTS. Further, deterioration of interleaving performance of the compressed mode frames during such observation can be suppressed.
