  • Patent number: 8193339
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process of stereoselectively synthesizing a ?-nucleoside compound of formula (I): wherein R1, R2, and B are as defined in the specification; each of R3 and R4, independently, is H or fluoro. The process includes reacting, in the presence of a transition metal salt, a tetrahydrofuran compound of formula (II): wherein R1, R2, and L are as defined in the specification, with a nucleobase derivative; and each of R3 and R4, independently, is H or fluoro.

  • Patent number: 7870548
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for updating an image file that is performed by a server, when a workable image file pre-stored in a storage unit of said server needs to be updated by a new image file, that duplicates said workable image file to said storage unit as a backup image file, and then restarts said serve by invoking the operating system with said new image file, and if an operating system can not be successfully invoked with said new image file, said server automatically selects said backup image file to invoke the operating system and restore to the status before said update.

  • Patent number: 7783926
    Abstract: A method for memory testing implemented on an embedded system, the method comprising steps of loading a booting program when the embedded system is booted; activating a RAM of the embedded system by the booting program; duplicating the booting program itself and writing the duplicated booting program into a first section of the RAM by the booting program; downloading a testing program from an on-line source and writing the downloaded testing program into a second section of the RAM by the duplicated booting program; and enabling the downloaded testing program to check a third section the rest part of the RAM excepting the first and second sections, after the downloaded testing program is executed by the duplicated booting program.
