Abstract: The method includes transmitting electromagnetic radiation from source (12) through the volume of gas (14), filtering the radiation by time modulating the transmission spectrum of the filter (16) so as to produce a time modulation of the radiation energy transmitted by the volume of gas and by the filter (16), detecting the time modulated energy using a sensor (18) and extracting signal (E) which depends on the gas concentration. The component Eac(1) of the signal, which varies with time, is isolated, the component Edc(1) of the signal, which does not vary with time, is isolated. Radiation emission is stopped (state-0) and the component. Eac(0) of the signal received by the sensor (18) is isolated. The component Edc(0) of this signal is isolated, and the terms Eac(1) - Eac(0) and Edc(1) - Edc(0) are calculated. The relationship (Eac(1) - Eac(0))/(Edc(1) - Edc(0)) is formed whose result gives the concentration (c) of the gas in the volume. Electromagnetic radiation is of the optical type.

Abstract: The invention is provides a composition for sustained delivery of a biologically active agent comprising a biologically active mixture and a controlled release formulation. The composition protects the biologically active agent from being destroyed by the controlled release composition. The biologically active mixture includes the biologically active agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable protective carrier. The controlled release formulation includes a pharmaceutically acceptable, biodegradable, matrix forming material that is substantially insoluble in aqueous or body fluids and a pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvent. The biologically active mixture is combined with the controlled release formulation to form an emulsion, the delivery composition, which is then administered to a patient. The protective carrier can be an aqueous substance, a non-aqueous substance or a combination of both. The matrix forming material can be a polymeric material, a non-polymeric material or a combination of both. The organic solvent can have a solubility ranging from a high water solubility to a low water solubility.

IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 1999-10-11
Granted: 2008-02-16
Abstract: The objective of the invention is to increase the potential hop density of single frequency TDD radio links by allowing a set of closely located terminals to use a single channel. This is possible when transmission and reception periods of the terminals are synchronized so that the transmit period of any of the terminals in a terminal group does not overlap with the receive period of any of the terminals in the group. Synchronization is achieved by selecting at least one terminal in a hub site as a super master terminal. This terminal gives timing through a common bus to the rest of the terminals in the group. These terminals use the received timing for adjusting their own timing i.e. for adjusting the starting moment and ending moment of the transmission and reception periods in such a manner that none of terminals is sending a burst while another terminal is receiving.
