Abstract: Provided herein are two-step, multi-step and double precipitation processes used to prepare HA-pancreatin having a specific lipase activity of at least 120 USP IU/mg. The present two-step processes include suspending pancreatin in an aqueous solvent and adding an organic solvent with a Hildebrand solubility parameter between about 38 and 45 (MPa)0.5 to precipitate HA-pancreatin. The present multi-step processes produce HA-pancreatin using additional solvents. Double precipitation processes are directed to the use of solvents having different Hildebrand solubility parameters to produce HA-pancreatin product for use as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: A framework for an improved destruction of interrelated data objects is described herein. In one embodiment, destruction and/or archiving of data objects are decoupled from the destruction and/or archiving of a master data object by using a backup table. Before being destructed, attributes relevant to destruction of dependent data objects are copied from the master data object to the backup table. Subsequent destruction operations performed on data objects dependent on the master data object may attempt to retrieve the attributes relevant to destruction from the master data object itself, or from the backup table. In this way, data object destruction orderings are avoided, enabling dependent data objects to be destructed at any time.

Abstract: A low sidestream smoke cigarette comprises a conventional tobacco rod, and a combustible treatment paper having a sidestream smoke treatment composition. The treatment composition comprises in combination, an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide oxidation catalyst and an essentially non-combustible finely divided porous particulate adjunct for said catalyst.

Abstract: Compositions that include a flagellin/antigen protein comprising at least a portion of at least one flagellin and at least a portion of at least one antigen and methods of administering these compositions to humans at least 49 years old. The compositions stimulate immune response to the antigen, in particular, a protective immune response to the antigen, in the human, such as an elderly human.

Abstract: An open-loop and/or closed-loop control device for operating an asynchronous machine which is fed by a 3-phase power converter. The open-loop and/or closed-loop control structure has a stator flux controller and a pulse pattern generator for generating pulse signals based on mean values. An output of the stator flux controller is connected to an input of the pulse pattern generator, with the result that the pulse pattern generator can generate the pulse signals as a function of a manipulated variable which is generated by the stator flux controller. The stator flux controller is configured so as to generate the manipulated variable as a function of a desired value of the stator flux of the asynchronous machine and as a function of a desired value of the torque of the asynchronous machine. The stator flux controller has a dead-beat control response.

Abstract: Immununological compositions and methods for making and using them. The compositions contain at least one antigen and at least one lipoprotein and optionally an adjuvant. The lipoprotein can itself be antigenic or immunogenic. The antigen can be influenza HA and the lipoprotein a recombinantly expressed product having an OspA leader for lipidation and PspA for the protein portion. The antigen can be OspC and the lipoprotein OspA. The components of the composition are co-administered. A potentiated immunological response is obtained by the compositions and methods.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating an aim point correction for sniper operations. The present invention reduces spotter/sniper workload and improves trace spotting analysis. An example system includes a scope, a video capture component, an output device, and a processor in signal communication with the video capture component and the output device. The video capture component captures video of a bullet from when the bullet left a weapon to at least when the bullet crossed a previously determined target range. The processor determines from the captured video where the bullet was located relative to an intended target when the bullet was at the target range, generates a new aim point if the bullet was determined to have missed an intended hit point, and outputs the generated new aim point to the output device.

Abstract: A method of improving noise immunity in a signal is provided. The method comprises receiving a multi-bit symbol comprised of pulses and absences of pulses, incrementing a correlation count if a pulse is present when a pulse is expected, and decrementing the correlation count if a pulse is present when a pulse is not expected.
