Abstract: The present invention discloses a silibinin nanoparticle comprising the compound silibinin and a hydrophilic polymer. Moreover, the silibinin nanoparticle is in form of spherical structure with a particle size of 50 to 200 nm. The present invention also discloses a use of the silibinin nanoparticle to suppress hepatitis C virus infection and a method of treating hepatitis C, by administering the silibinin nanoparticle to a subject in need.

Abstract: The present application relates to methods for determining gastric residual volumes and amounts of dietary formula in gastric contents using measurements of soluble solids concentrations in gastric contents, and in some embodiments, a concentrate having a relatively high concentration of soluble solids. The methods can be used for measuring gastric residual volumes of subjects who have fasted or have a low or reduced gastric content.

Abstract: A computer-based method of data replication of data in a programmable computer system having an ISAM database and a transaction log file, with the ISAM database having fields of tables and the transaction log file maintaining all files transactions of the ISAM database, comprising the following steps. Polling the transaction log file for file transactions of at least one selected ISAM database fields of tables by at least one data replication server. Reading the polled file transactions of the at least one selected ISAM database fields of tables by the at least one data replication server. Sending the polled file transactions of the at least one selected ISAM database fields of tables from the at least one data replication server to at least one relational database whereby the polled file transactions of the at least one selected ISAM database fields of tables sent to the at least one relational database is accessible in real time.

Abstract: A system for acquiring semiconductor process status information. An equipment server outputs a start command according to a HSMS protocol to a computer system server, which converts the start command from the HSMS protocol to a RS232 protocol and outputs the converted command to a protocol converter. The protocol converter converts the start command from the RS232 protocol to a RS485 protocol and outputs the converted command to an AD/DA module. The AD/DA module converts the start command from the RS485 command to an analog signal and outputs the converted command to an external sensor, which acquires semiconductor equipment status information as initiated by the start command. The acquired status information is then sent on a reverse path to the start command, undergoing successive conversion and output until reaching the equipment server.

Abstract: An enhanced method of reorganizing a relational database is provided. The method uses batch processing to perform the steps of providing an online database having a plurality of authoritative data stored there within; running the online database in an archive log mode for storing archival data capable of restoring all online database activity since running the online database in the archival mode; creating an off-line database by copying the plurality of authoritative data stored within the online database to the off-line database; performing a maintenance operation on the off-line database; taking the online database offline upon completion of the performance of the maintenance operation; copying the plurality of archival data from the online database to the off-line database when the online database is taken offline; recovering the off-line database by applying the copied plurality of archival data copied from the online database; and converting the off-line database to an online database.

Abstract: A method for providing high availability in a production information system is described. The information system consists of a primary and a secondary copy running on a dual machine architecture. A backup database is added to the system which is updated daily from a transaction log. Database maintenance and archive procedures are performed on the data in the backup database relieving the primary and secondary databases of this activity. Database conversion is performed periodically, and the backup database is used to fill in for the primary and secondary databases when they are being converted.
