Abstract: The present invention relates to new anti-cancer compounds and in particular to new compounds for use in nuclide activation therapy, such as neutron capture therapy. Specifically this invention provides a conjugate having the general formula P-(L-NAT)n wherein P represents an N-hydroxypropylmethacrylamide-methacrylate copolymer having a molecular weight of 5-6,000 kDa; NAT represents a nuclide activation therapy agent; L represents a linker moiety capable of linking the polymer to the neutron capturc therapy agent; and n represents an integer from 1-1,000.

Abstract: The present invention provides a child resistant blister pack for packing pharmaceutical solid dosage form comprising a blister sheet having a pattern of cavities/blisters, a rupturable cover foil laminated to the blister sheet covering and sealing the blisters and blister sheet containing the unit dosage forms is enfolded into a non-tearable paper/laminate card with an intrinsic pressure-sensitive permanent acrylic/rubber based adhesive, a polymeric film/laminate containing an intrinsic pressure-sensitive permanent acrylic/rubber based adhesive is placed on a non-tearable paper/laminate card in a precise manner, such that it corresponds with the individual cavities of the blister.

Abstract: An add/drop multiplexer/demultiplexer (ADM) for switching, modulating and attenuating optical signals in a fiber optic network employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is disclosed. The ADM is equipped an optical multiplexer for splitting an input WDM signal into individual optical signals, leading to respective 2.times.2 switches. Each switch has another input originating from a plurality of "add lines", and selects one of its inputs to be dropped and the other to continue along a main signal path. The retained signals may be modulated and attenuated prior to being tapped and finally multiplexed together by a WDM multiplexer. The tapped signals are optoelectronically converted and fed back to a controller, preferably a digital signal processor running a software algorithm, which controls the switching, modulation and attenuation.

Abstract: In a queue management system for servicing of a number of clients representing different client types, a controlling queue queues clients in a predetermined order. A queue manager allocates and reallocates a number of processing queues, less than the number of client types, to match different ones of said client types. The queue manager then places successive ones of the clients in the controlling queue into a processing queue matching the client type if there is a matching processing queue and allocates or reallocates an empty or emptied processing queue to the client type if there is no matching processing queue but there is an empty processing queue. A server empties the processing queues in batches. In the environment of a telephone system the clients are messages and the client types are codings in the messages for various destinations.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are set forth which enable users of a network which supports the AMIS Analog Protocol to define numbering plans which shorten and simplify addressing an AMIS message to specific AMIS Sites. These user friendly numbering plans are referred to generally herein as "Enhanced Addressing" schemes. The methods and apparatus contemplated by the invention also support the construction and utilization of the "System Number", as defined in the AMIS Analog Protocol, particularly in conjunction with performing Enhanced Addressing.

Abstract: A method and system for measuring a profile of a strip of material produced in a reversing mill in which a direction of travel of the strip is reversible includes a single thickness gauge that measures the thickness of the strip and generates the thickness signals, and a moving device coupled to the gauge. The moving device controllably moves the gauge transversely to the strip so that the gauge measures the thickness of the strip and different points across a width of the strip in one pass of the strip through the gauge. The moving device maintains the gauge in a stationary position in another pass of the strip through the gauge such that the gauge measures the thickness of the strip and different points along the longitudinal lines of the strip. The measurements of the thickness of the strip at the different points are interpreted into profile data. This profile data can be either displayed or used by a mill computer to control the processing of the strip.
