Abstract: In a computing device, a method and system for searching for matching ink words or phrases, by comparing a given search term of at least one word (and possibly alternates) with the words in a document, including recognized ink words and any possible alternates for those recognized words as returned by a recognizer. Various matching tests are possible because of the use of alternates, which also may have corresponding probability rankings that may influence the search. Searching may occur in actively edited ink documents, or the recognition results may be saved as saved search file data that can be searched independent of recognition.

Abstract: A process for preparing a compound of formula (IV): ##STR1## comprising a) contacting an oxazoline compound of formula (I): ##STR2## wherein Z is as defined hereinbefore, with a reagent capable of causing an equilibrium between oxazoline compound (I) and an oxazoline compound of formula (II) described herein, and the reagent drives the equilibrium toward oxazoline compound (II) by preferential precipitation of oxazoline compound (II);b) contacting compound (II) with a fluorinating agent to give a fluorinated oxazoline compound of formula (III) described herein; andc) hydrolyzing the compound of formula (III) to formula (IV). In an alternative embodiment, the process is directed toward a process for preparing oxazoline (II) in a single step.

Abstract: A novel process for regioselectively preparing oxazoline compounds is disclosed. The process utilizes an amino alcohol, a cyano compound, a base and a dihydric alcohol solvent, a polyhydric alcohol solvent or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: There is disclosed a high yielding process for converting a hydroxy alkyl oxazolidine compound to the corresponding fluoro derivative by reacting the hydroxy compound with .alpha., .alpha.-difluoroalkylamine under pressure.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## are produced, with the variables as indicated within.

Abstract: Certain benzocycloheptapyridine compounds with fluorine substitution across the exocyclic double bond are prepared and they are useful as antihistaminic agents.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of piperidylidene-dihydro-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene or aza-derivatives thereof and intermediates in such process are disclosed.
