Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer system are disclosed for generating and executing a software appliance comprising the steps of receiving a work request comprising metadata which indicates processing conditions for a computer processing task to be performed; determining a determined processing environment, depending on the metadata included in the work request; selecting one or more software container templates, depending on the metadata included in the work request; generating the software appliance for the determined processing environment, using the one or more selected software container templates; and deploying the software appliance for executing the software appliance on a processing computer system of the determined processing environment.

Abstract: A synchronous rectifier driver circuit is configured to drive a synchronous rectifier FET and includes a first terminal configured to be connected to a source terminal of the synchronous rectifier FET. A second terminal is configured to be connected to a drain terminal of the synchronous rectifier FET, and a third terminal is configured to be connected to a gate terminal of the synchronous rectifier FET. The synchronous rectifier driver circuit is configured to measure the voltage between the second terminal and the first terminal, and detect a switch-on instant in which the measured voltage reaches a first threshold value and a switch-off instant in which the measured voltage reaches a second threshold value. The synchronous rectifier driver circuit generates a drive signal between the third terminal and the first terminal as a function of the measured voltage.

Abstract: A method for the preparation of salts of 2-[2-(4-dibenzo[b,fj[1,4]thiazepin-11-yl-1 -piperazinyl)ethoxy]ethanol (quetiapine) from the quetiapine base and the respective acid, wherein the salt is precipitated from a mixture of solvents, the mixture being either a mixture of an aromatic hydrocarbon and a ketone or ester, or that of an aromatic hydrocarbon, water and a ketone or ester. The salts of quetiapine are purified by partial crystallization, wherein only a part of the salt of quetiapine is dissolved in a C1 to C6 alcohol used.

Abstract: Rammed building walls having an earth core and integral cement jackets are formed by placing a rectangular earth hopper within a rectangular wall moulding cavity that is defined by formwork members which are aligned with an underlying foundation. The hopper is filled with earth while outside of the moulding cavity and has a trapdoor as its bottom. The moulding cavity has a substantially greater width than the width of the hopper so that jacket cavities are formed on either side of the hopper. A pair of tiltable cement hoppers, filled with concrete or a sand and cement mix, are mounted on the earth hopper and are tiltably unloaded into the jacket cavities. The trapdoor is then released so that the earth slides downwardly and laterally, and the hoppers are lifted as a unit out of the moulding cavity while the earth fills a core cavity between the mix-filled jacket cavities. Both the earth and mix are then rammed simultaneously.
