    Abstract: An operator assistance system associated with a work machine includes an imaging device mounted on the work machine and facing an overhead line and a pantograph of the work machine. The imaging device captures an input image including a first pictorial view that includes the overhead line. The operator assistance system also includes a controller communicably coupled with the imaging device. The controller generates an output image including a second pictorial view and a first indication element overlayed on the second pictorial view. The first indication element defines a reference zone, such that a presence of the overhead line of the second pictorial view within the reference zone indicates that the work machine is in desired alignment with the overhead line.

  • Publication number: 20020032166
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a true, homogeneous solution of a pharmaceutical substance dissolved in an organic solvent in which the pharmaceutical substance is not normally soluble. Solubilization is obtained by forming a hydrophobic ion pair complex involving the pharmaceutical substance and an amphiphilic material. The resulting organic solution may be further processed to prepare pharmaceutical powders. A biodegradable polymer may be co-dissolved with the pharmaceutical substance and the amphiphilic material and may be incorporated into a pharmaceutical powder. A preferred method for preparing pharmaceutical powders is to subject the organic solution to gas antisolvent precipitation using a supercritical gas antisolvent such as carbon dioxide. Also provided is a method for making hollow particles having a fiber-like shape which would provide enhanced retention time in the stomach if ingested by a human or animal host.
