Abstract:
The patent discloses self-emulsifying formulations of bisphosphonates or bisphosphonic acids in the prevention and treatment of conditions involving calcium or phosphate metabolism. The dosage forms are either capsules, or tablets, or other controlled release drug delivery systems, or devices that contain self-emulsifying formulation of such bisphosphonates or bisphosphonic acids.
Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for searching a virtual resource in a large scale computing system environment. The virtual resource is deployed on at least one server. Each server is coupled to a sensor and communicates with the sensor. The sensors communicate with each other and consist of a communication network. Each sensor stores an identifier of a virtual resource deployed in a server connected with the sensor and the location information of the sensor itself. The mechanism receives a searching request for a virtual resource by the at least one sensor, the searching request containing an identifier of the virtual resource being searched; forwards the searching request in the communication network of the sensors; and returns a location information of a sensor storing the identifier of the virtual resource by the sensor itself.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting magnetic fields. A magnetic sensor can include a substantially planar magnetostrictive layer. A piezoelectric layer can be bonded to a lower surface of the magnetostrictive layer. An electrode layer can be bonded to a lower surface of the piezoelectric layer. The device can be configured such that, when exposed to a magnetic field, at least one of an admittance amplitude, a quality factor, and a resonant frequency of the device is altered. The device can have a resonant frequency in the range of about 1 MHz to about 100 GHz.
Abstract:
An exceptional road-condition warning device, system and method for a vehicle are provided. The system includes an information processing device and a display device. The display device provides real-time and advance warning information to a driver of the vehicle. The system may notice the driver and passenger in advance to respond to an exceptional road condition before the vehicle approaches the occurring place of the road condition through a back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism. The back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism may collect the exceptional road conditions from different vehicles and update the database automatically to maintain the accuracy. The back-end cooperative self-learning mechanism further shares the information stored in the database with the databases installed in the vehicles by a bidirectional communication manner to update the information inside the database of the vehicles for the information processing device.
Abstract:
A composition for intranasal delivery of a drug comprising: includes: (i) the drug; and (ii) a non-aqueous vehicle containing (a) propylene glycol and at least one additional solvent selected from N-methylpyrrolidone, propylene carbonate, dimethyl sulfoxide and at least one propylene glycol fatty acid ester; (b) from about 40 to 100% by volume of N-methylpyrrolidone; or (c) from about 40 to 100% by volume of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Abstract:
A method for executing a system management interrupt (SMI) is provided. When a power on self test (POST) is executed, a first identifier is generated and stored into a system management mode block of a memory. During a process for starting an operating system (OS), the first identifier is read from the system management mode block as a second identifier, and the second identifier is stored into an OS block of the memory. When the OS wants to use a system management interrupt, the first identifier and the second identifier are respectively read from the system management mode block and the OS block. Afterwards, it is determined whether the first identifier and the second identifier are the same. If the first identifier and the second identifier are the same, the SMI is executed.
Abstract:
Peptides useful as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are provided. Also provided are compositions comprising one or more of the peptides and methods for preventing, treating and/or diminishing one or more syndromes associated with angiotensin converting enzyme by using the peptides.
Abstract:
A spacer textile material may include a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of connecting members extending between and joining the first layer and the second layer. The connecting members may form a series of at least ten rows that are separated by spaces. The rows have a width that is less than a width of the spaces, and the connecting members form at least one stabilizing row with a width that is greater than the width of the spaces.
Abstract:
A debug method for computer system is disclosed. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, a first index is increased. Next, a first debug data to a jth debug data are received via a debug port of controller. Then, the first debug data to the jth debug data are sequentially stored to a first memory block of a storage unit of the controller according to the second index of controller. Afterwards, the (i+1)th debug data to the jth debug data are copied to the second memory block from the first memory block according to the increased first index before a controller's power supply is removed or the computer system enters a sleep state. Lastly, an application is implemented so that the second memory block is read according to the first index; wherein, i and j are integers.
Abstract:
A sensing method for a capacitive touch panel includes charging a measure capacitor, setting the voltage across a mutual capacitor at the intersection of two traces of the capacitive touch panel, and then injecting partial charges of the measure capacitor into the mutual capacitor. When the intersection is touched, the capacitance value of the mutual capacitor is changed, and consequently the amount of charges injected into the mutual capacitor is changed. Hence, the voltage of the measure capacitor could be detected to determine whether or not the intersection is touched.
