Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to crystalline berberine ascorbate salts and crystalline ketone berberine adducts, which can be used in preparing pharmaceutical or dietary compositions for the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections, cardiovascular diseases or other conditions. The present disclosure also relates to methods of preparing crystalline berberine ascorbate or other berberine salts by reaction crystallization using one or more of crystalline berberine ketone adducts as a starting material.
Abstract:
A shower head includes a push-button operated rotatable valve having a plurality of positions including; a first position in which the shower head allows water to flow to a first function, a second position radially offset from the first position in which the shower head allows water to flow to a second function, a third position radially offset from the first position and the second position and to the first position, in which the shower head allows water to flow trickle through the shower head.
Abstract:
A computer architecture with multiple operating systems (OS) using a common disc partition and a method for the same are proposed. The computer architecture includes: a first operating system having a file system used to store a second operating system; a random access memory (RAM) disc, wherein the RAM disc is a virtual storage device composed of partial memory of a memory unit and the second operating system can be executed in the RAM disc; and a basic input/output system (BIOS) used to control a booting procedure of a computer system and load the second operating system into the RAM disc. Therein, the second operating system can use parameter information and a multimedia playback system of the first operating system directly via an interface unit.
Abstract:
An application program sharing framework and method includes an Basic input/output system for issuing the starting command of a second operating system which consuming fewer system resources, an application program executed in an environment of the second operating system, and an interface for transforming the data parameter and the parameter of the multimedia playing program in the first operating system into the executable format of the second operating system. Accordingly, the waiting time for starting the first operating system and the resource consuming will be reduced, and the resource sharing, re-installation avoidance and storage-saving can be achieved as well.
Abstract:
A shower head has a nozzle, a shell, a water inlet, and an assembly for holding the nozzle. The assembly has an upper plate made of a first plastic material and has a first opening having a first diameter through which the nozzle extends, a lower plate made of a second plastic material and has a second opening through which the nozzle extends, and an elastomeric middle plate has a third opening having a third diameter that is smaller than the first or second diameter through which the nozzle extends and is in contact therewith. The first material and the second material are ultrasonically welded together to trap the middle plate therebetween and the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are roughly coaxial with each other.
