  • Publication number: 20110189103
    Abstract: A fosfomycin plus tobramycin combination formulation for delivery by aerosolization is described. The concentrated fosfomycin tobramycin combination formulation containing an efficacious amount of fosfomycin plus tobramycin is able to inhibit susceptible bacteria. Fosfomycin and tobramycin are formulated separately in a dual ampoule such that when reconstituted, the pH is between 4.5 and 8.0 or as a dry powder. The method for treatment of respiratory tract infections by a formulation delivered as an aerosol having mass medium average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5?, produced by a jet or ultrasonic nebulizer (or equivalent) or dry powder inhaler.

  • Publication number: 20060158375
    Abstract: Direction findings by radio comprises arraigning an array of antennas, to receive signals from emitters, selecting individual antenna signals using a first multipole switch and determining, antenna signal strengths. Individual antenna signals are also selected by mutipole switch, which routes a selected signal to a third multipole switch. The third switch switches a phase shifter into and out of an antenna signal path. An adder is employed to add an antenna signal in a first signal path extending via the first multipole switch to a different antenna signal in a second signal path extending via the second and third switches. This determines combined signal strengths between pairs of antenna signals, one of which either has or has not been relatively phase shifted depending on the third switch position. Covariance matrix elements are determined from signal strengths enabling emitter bearings to be derived.

  • Patent number: 6807533
    Abstract: The Account Receivables System is a web-based system and method for collecting, tracking and processing information about a client's account receivables. The system is divided into several separate modules fully capable of interfacing with each other as well as the client's Order, Ship, Bill (OSB) system. The ARS produces a variety of reports, in a flexible format, on-line and downloads as soon as they are generated in the ARS. The ARS maintains close security over the system by providing an option for accepting the credit card information from the customer's OSB or through the ARS web site.

  • Publication number: 20020029296
    Abstract: A portal server presents an HTML page that comprises a plurality of modules that are formatted in a predetermined layout. Each module represents a network resource that can be accessed by a user through the portal. Some of the modules can be user-selectable, whereas others may be mandatory elements of the portal. Similarly, some aspects of the layout may be user-controllable, while others are fixed. The modular nature of the portal enables the various resources to be readily and independently updated by the entities who provide them, without affecting other features of the portal. The portal server includes an administration interface that enables an administrator to select from various layout styles, as well as control access to site information and services. A variety of customizations can be done to the portal without requiring programming skills. As a result, individual businesses and other entities can exercise complete ownership of their portals, from a hosting, branding and design perspective.
