  • Processes for preparing pyrimidine compounds
    Patent number: 9447052
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods of making a compound of formula (I) and intermediates for same the compounds of formula (I) being useful for treating cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2016
    Assignee: Glaxo Group Limited

  • Material removal method
    Patent number: 9409262
    Abstract: A repair method for repairing a component (6a) of a gas turbine engine (10). The method comprises first and second steps. The first step comprises directing an energy beam toward the component (6a) to ablate a first region (54) of material to form a gap extending through the component (6a) between a repair region (58) a base region (58) of the component, wherein subsequent to the first step the repair region (58) and base region (56) are joined by a connecting portion (60). In the second step, an energy beam is direct toward the component (6a) to ablate the repair region (58) to remove the repair region (58) from the component (6a).

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ASSESSING A NARROWING IN A FLUID FILLED TUBE
    Publication number: 20150230714
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of assessing a narrowing in a fluid filled tube having a fluid flow pressure wave having a backward-originating pressure component and a forward-originating pressure component without taking a flow velocity measurement, comprising: taking pressure measurements in the tube; separating the pressure components into the backward-originating pressure component and the forward-originating pressure component; identifying a time window when the differential of flow velocity (dU) is minimal or absent; and deriving the backward and forward pressure components for pressure measurements taken in at least the time window.
