Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds endowed with phosphodiesterase (PDE4) inhibitory activity having formula (I). The invention also relates to the process for the isolation by crystallization of the compound (I) and to its use for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for inhalation in combination with suitable carriers or vehicles. The present invention also relates to solvates and crystal forms of a compound of formula (I). The synthesized product is suitable for use in pharmaceutical applications for instance in the treatment of respiratory diseases.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for differential storage in memory arrays are described. A memory device may include pairs of memory cells configured to store a single logic state (e.g., a single bit of information). Additionally, the memory device may include sense amplifiers configured to sense the logic state based on a difference between a voltage of a first ferroelectric memory cell of the pair of memory cells and a voltage of a second ferroelectric memory cell of the pair of memory cells. In one example, the memory device may include pairs of memory cells within a single memory array on a single level. Here, each memory cell pair may include a memory cells that are each coupled with a same word line and plate line. Additionally, each memory cell pair may include memory cells each coupled with different digit lines.

Abstract: An embodiment dashboard voice control system for a motorcycle comprises receiver circuitry to receive voice-generated signals, command recognition circuitry to recognize voice-generated command signals for a motorcycle dashboard out of the voice-generated signals received at the receiver circuitry as well as command implementation circuitry to implement motorcycle dashboard actions as a function of voice-generated command signals recognized by the command recognition circuitry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling Euschistus heros, order Hemiptera, family Pentatomidae, by using an extract derived from Sophora flavescens and/or Sophora alopecuroides plants.

Abstract: Displacement transducer device, adapted to be coupled to reference points of a structure, includes a first element integrally securable to a first reference point of the structure, first and second magnets arranged so as to magnetically repel one another, a transducer arranged proximate the first and second magnets so as to detect a variation in the magnetic field between the first and second magnet and to convert the variation into a signal processed by a processing unit, the displacement transducer device includes a second element integrally securable to a second reference point of the structure, and one of the first or second magnet or transducer being connected to the first element and the remaining elements of the first or second magnet or transducer being connected to the second element such that a relative movement of the first or the second reference point causes a variation in the magnetic field.

Abstract: A mounting device for an injector in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine; the mounting device is provided with a tubular support body, which is made of a thermally conductive material, houses the injector therein, and is adapted to be coupled to a connection tube laterally extending outwards from an exhaust conduit of the exhaust system at a lower end thereof; an upper portion of the support body is thermally coupled to an upper portion of a nose of the injector so that a high thermal exchange occurs by conduction between the upper portion of the nose of the injector and the upper portion of the support body; and a lower portion of the support body is thermally insulated from a lower portion of the nose of the injector so that a reduced thermal exchange occurs by conduction between the upper portion of the nose of the injector and the upper portion of the support body.
