Abstract: The invention relates to a plant extract obtained by a single-phase extraction method, by means of a solvent and/or a mixture of solvents of plant origin, containing characterised and chemically defined constituents. Said plant extract is characterised in that it is free of polyphenol, anthocyan and/or tannin, and comprises a fraction of lipophile-type components and/or a fraction of polar-type components. The invention also relates to an extraction method which enables an inventive extract to be obtained, said method being a single-phase extraction method characterised in that it comprises the following steps: a plant material is brought into contact with a solvent and/or a mixture of solvents of plant origin, containing characterised and chemically defined constituents; the plant material is eliminated; and the solvent and/or mixture of solvents is partially or completely eliminated.

Abstract: An industrial control and automation human machine interface (HMI) technology is disclosed that includes a centralized definition of data quality and status behaviors for graphical elements. The centralized definition is thereafter applied to every graphical element that is linked to a data value for which status is maintained/provided. Centrally configured data quality and status indication behaviors are incorporated across entire HMI applications and even sets of HMI applications in a system to inform an operator of the data quality and/or status of read/written data through globally defined data status animation behavior. The centrally defined behaviors are distributed to all nodes on a system and incorporated in live applications without shutting down the applications to update their behavior definition. A status graphic element type. The status graphical element examines a designated data variable and displays a picture or icon indicating the quality or status of the data.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a novel polymorph of [6,7-Bis(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-(3-ethynyl-phenyl)amine hydrochloride. This polymorph exhibits superior properties compared to the previously known forms of [6,7-Bis(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-(3-ethynyl-phenyl)amine hydrochloride. The [6,7-Bis(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-(3-ethynyl-phenyl)amine hydrochloride is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase enzymes, and are useful in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the novel polymorph, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel polymorph.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with pseudopolymorphic forms of 1-(4-carbazolyloxy)-3-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]-2-propanole (carvedilol) or of optically active forms or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, processes for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

Abstract: A guard railing arrangement on a tanker which extends, when in an erect position, along both sides of a walk way extending along a top of a tank of the tanker. The guard railing is supported so as to be foldable when not in use and there are described arrangements adjacent access ladders to enable the railing to be raised prior to use. Further described are arrangements of struts to assist in support of the railing structure and modifications to make the guard railing appropriate for a hard back tank as well as other forms of tank.

Abstract: In a method for the interconnection of stacked packages, each of the packages encapsulating, for example, a semiconductor chip containing an integrated circuit, a memory for example, the packages provided with pins are mounted on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit boards are stacked and fixedly joined with one another by means of a coating, for example a resin coating. The stack is sliced through so as to form bars, the pins of the packages being electrically connected to the side surfaces of the bars by means of the tracks of the printed circuit boards. The connection of the packages to one another is done on the side faces of the bars. The bars are then sliced through to obtain unit blocks of stacked packages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device particularly adapted for use with the power supply of a computer for controlling the regulating facilities in an electric high-power AC-DC converter of the power supply.This control device (D) comprises a regulation (CC) control comparator connected to the storage facilities (S) of the converter and receiving a reference voltage having a "nominal" value when the converter is normally powered by an AC network and receiving a portion of the output voltage from the converter, the output of said control comparator (CC) supplying an error signal to the regulating facilities (MR) of the converter. The control device also includes facilities (R) for supplying a variable reference voltage to the control comparator (CC) so that at the moment of recovery of the network following a cutoff, the voltage at the input of the filtering facilities (F) of the converter is, at the most, equal to the output voltage of the storage facilities (S).

Abstract: An optical system for projecting patterns in order to reproduce the image of at least one modulating object on a mask or semiconductor wafer coated with photosensitive material for the fabrication of semiconductor components. In this system, optical reflecting means comprising one or a number of plane mirrors including at least one movable mirror are introduced in the optical path of the imaging objective. By forming additional optical paths, it is thus possible to associate with a photorepetition function different functions such as photocomposition or other photorepetition paths, or else to associate a device for ensuring alignment of the object-image planes and comprising optoelectronic detection means.
