摘要:
A compound of formula I ##STR1## wherein R stands for a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms optionally substituted with a hydroxy group, and possibly containing a ring structure, and in which at least one of the carbon atoms not bearing hydroxyl group is substituted with one or more halogen atoms or an azido group; and prodrugs of I in which one or more of the hydroxy groups are masked as groups which can be reconverted to hydroxy groups in vivo, in pure form or in mixtures. The compounds show antiinflammatory and immunomodulating effects as well as strong activity in inducing differentiation and inhibiting undesirable proliferation of certain cells. The compounds are prepared by oxidizing 1(S),3(R)-bis-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-20(S)formyl-9,10-seco-pregna-5(E),7(E),10(19)-triene, reducing the resulting product; alkylating the reduction product and then subjecting the alkylated product to triplet-sensitized photoisomerization.

(I) The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), in which formula R stands for an alkyl group containing from 7 to 12 carbon atoms optionally substituted with a hydroxy group; and derivatives of the compounds of formula (I) in which one or more hydroxy groups have been transformed into -O-acyl or -O-glycosyl or phosphate ester groups, such masked groups being hydrolyzable in vivo, in pure form or in mixtures. The present compounds find use in both the human and veterinary practice in the treatment and prophylaxis of autoimmune diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and asthma as well as diseases characterized by abnormal cell differentiation and/or cell proliferation, and/or imbalance in the immune system.
摘要:
An acoustic surface wave filter is described for receiving one of two electrical signals at either of a pair of input ports and for providing a filtered electrical signal at a common output port. The filter includes a pair of input electro-acoustic transducers on a substrate, each coupled to one of the input ports, for launching surface waves in response to an electrical input signal. Each of the input transducers is associated with a multistrip coupler and an output transducer for converting the surface waves to an electrical output signal. The layout and geometry of the filter components are such that all surface waves are launched in a direction which is oblique to the substrate boundaries to reduce interference due to reflected surface waves. The layout and geometry also result in a relatively small substrate and a simultaneous reduction of insertion loss.

Supervision of industrial plants can be improved by comparison and analysis of process information and network information. The comparison may be used to provide alarms and operator information for network-related or process device failures. The information may also be used to identify a cause of a failure. A method is described for supervising an industrial control system, including a plant network for supervision, a client/server network for server connection with workstations, and a control network connected to industrial controllers. The method comprises the steps of gathering process information, and gathering network information, and by comparing information provided by data communications network monitoring with process control information and using the result of the comparison to assist in determining a cause of a problem or possible problem in a process controlled of the industrial control system.

摘要:
A multichannel surface acoustic wave encoder/decoder having a common electrical input is designed so that the insertion losses of the channels differ despite the apparent design constraint of closely matched channel output impedances. The input transducing device or SAW transmitter is divided into individual transducers (or into subtransducers) having different numbers of finger overlaps, thus achieving different acoustic output levels which in turn result in different insertion losses for different channels. The finger spacing of the SAW transmitters can differ between the respective input transducers or subtransducers so as to optimize the center frequency of each channel.
摘要:
A computer based control system including a field network to which field devices equipped with hardware addresses and logical names are to be connected, a control device performing addressing control in relation to the field devices and their logical addresses and a simulation handling device. The simulation handling device has an own logical address, an own hardware address and is capable of obtaining a logical address, as well as possibly a logical name and/or a hardware address of at least one field device involved in the simulation. It notifies the control device that the field device is connected to the field network, detects a control signal directed towards field device addressed using the logical and/or hardware address of this field device and responds to the control signal with simulation results using the same logical and/or hardware address as the source of the response.
摘要:
A method to revalidate a compiler intended for compilation of a user-written program for safety control in an industrial control system after it has been used. A test program is compiled a first time which test program is defined in a control language. The compiler is validated by verifying that the test program executes correctly. A first software is generated derived from the compiled test program intended for later comparison purposes. The test program is compiled a second time after the compilation of a user-written program. A second software is generated intended for a comparison based on the second compilation of the test program. The first software is compared with the second software, wherein the compiler is revalidated for any errors introduced between the first and the second compilation. Provided that the revalidation indicates no errors in the compiler, the user-written program is enabled to execute in a device with safety features for control of real world entities.
