Abstract:
A process comprising: (a) reduction of N-acetyl-3-aminopyridine (2): or its salt in the presence of hydrogen and a palladium catalyst deposited on solid support; (b) converting racemic N-acetyl-3-aminopiperidine (3) or its salt produced in step (a) to rac-3-aminopiperidine (rac-4) or its salt; (c) resolution of the racemic 3-aminopiperidine (rac-4) or its salt produced in step (b) with a chiral acid.
Abstract:
A method performs ultrasound testing of a test body having a hole extending in an axial direction. The method include disposing a test head within the hole. The test head extends in the axial direction and has sensor rings which are at a distance from one another and are disposed one behind the other in the axial direction. The sensor rings have a plurality of ultrasound transducers which are at a distance from one another. The ultrasound transducers disposed in a segment of each of the sensor rings extend in a circumferential direction of a respective sensor ring on at least a subsection of a circumference of the respective sensor ring. An ultrasound test pulse is injected into the test body. Measured values of first and second echo signals are evaluated to determine at least one of a location or an orientation of a fault in the test body.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a single or dual output port, dual-drive Mach-Zehnder Interferometer configured to generate a first optical signal in one path, and to generate a second optical signal in a different path. The apparatus also includes an optical spectrum analyzer configured to receive output from at least one port of the dual-drive Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. A method includes causing radio frequency signals from two different antennae to modulate an optical carrier at a corresponding drive of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, and causing output from at least one port of the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer to be directed to an optical spectrum analyzer. The method further comprises determining arrival angle at each of a plurality of frequencies in the radio frequency signals based on output from the optical spectrum analyzer.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to redistribute and rebalance power to a plurality of blade servers with a chassis unit. At a chassis management controller device in a chassis unit comprising a plurality of blade server devices, policy information is stored for the chassis unit. The policy information comprises power limit information that indicates a power budget for the chassis unit and blade server priority information that indicates priority for access to power for each of the plurality of blade servers in the chassis unit. Power is distributed to the plurality of blade servers based on the blade server priority information for each of the plurality of blade servers and the power limit information for the chassis unit. The actual power consumption of each of the plurality of blade servers is determined and power is redistributed to the plurality of blade servers based on the actual power consumption and the policy information.
Abstract:
Exemplary techniques for performing motion compensation in the discrete wavelet transform domain are described. In an exemplary embodiment, a server can perform motion compensation in the discrete wavelet transform domain for an image and send at least one motion vector and at least one delta array to a client. The client can use the at least one motion vector and the at least one delta array to compose the image. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the detailed description, claims, and figures.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus includes an optical source for a single order single-sideband suppressed-carrier optical signal with a bandwidth that scales from over 1 gigaHertz to greater than 20 gigaHertz. In an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a stable laser source configured to output an optical carrier signal at a carrier frequency. The apparatus includes a radio frequency electrical source configured to output an electrical radio frequency signal with a radio frequency bandwidth less than one octave. The apparatus also includes an optical modulator configured to output an optical signal with the optical carrier signal modulated by the radio frequency signal in a plurality of orders of optical frequency sidebands. The apparatus further includes an optical filter configured to pass one single order optical frequency sideband of the optical signal.
Abstract:
A method for the non-destructive inspection of a test body using ultrasound is disclosed, in which at least one ultrasonic transducer couples ultrasonic waves into the test body and ultrasonic waves reflected inside the test body are received by ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals, which form the basis of the non-destructive inspection.
Abstract:
A net traffic optimization method provides for clients and servers to communicate with each other over a busy network. Each client process will make an Oracle database service request that is recognized by a listener process in the servers. As each database instance comes up, it generates a globally unique instance identifier (“UII”). Each UII remains valid as long as the database instance that generated it is running. The same UII identifier is given to every client needing a connection to that particular instance. Client processes can simultaneously or sequentially connect to database instances, and must never see the same UII being used to identify two different instances.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a viral antigen, a first protein and a second protein. Optionally, the composition also comprises three different disaccharaides, or, optionally, the composition comprises a primary sugar and at least one, preferably two secondary sugars. The present invention also relates to the use of a viral antigen, a first protein and a second protein for the manufacture of a composition, preferably a vaccine. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of treatment or prevention of virus associates diseases in humans. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method of adapting a virus to a suitable cell-line. The invention is also useful for the production of virus suspensions suitable for making stable, live/inactivated, monovalent and/or polyvalent, liquid/lyophilized rotavirus vaccine compositions for oral and/or nasal or any other suitable route of administration in human.
