Abstract: A pharmaceutically active N-desmethyl levomepromazine (abbreviated NDM LMP) and method of use. NDM LMP has substantially the same therapeutic effects as the parent levomepromazine but is subject to less disposition (e.g. presystemic and systemic metabolism) and thus has improved properties over the parent.

Abstract: Tranexamic acid formulated in an oral dosage form with at least one agent that decreases tranexamic acid release in the stomach. Such formulations minimize nausea, vomiting, and other adverse gastric effects that may accompany tranexamic acid therapy, for example, to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. One embodiment is an extended release formulation with waxes, polymers, etc. that prevent a bolus release of tranexamic acid in the stomach. An alternative embodiment is a delayed release formulation with polymers that prevent release of tranexamic acid in the acid environment of the stomach and delay its release until the formulation reaches the less acid environment of the intestines. Such formulations enhance patient compliance with therapy because adverse effects of tranexamic acid therapy are reduced.

Abstract: A metal cutting circular saw (10) is provided with an upper blade guard (20) which includes a first sight window (46) disposed in a first side surface and disposed in a plane angularly offset from a plane of the blade (14). The upper blade guard (20) may also include a second sight window (62) disposed in the second side surface of the upper blade guard (20). A light window (64) is disposed in a front portion of the perimeter outer surface of the upper blade guard (20). The saw shoe (24) and lower blade guard (22) are configured to minimize chip spray from contacting a user.

Abstract: The present invention includes as one embodiment a printhead having a circuit with plural resistors and a power bus. The printhead includes a metal stack formed within the circuit, which is comprised of a first metal layer and a second metal layer and at least one power via. The power via is formed within the circuit as an interface between the first metal layer and the second metal layer and acts as a corrosion separation barrier between of the resistors and the power bus.

Abstract: A monitoring method and apparatus for a component-based software system operating over one or more processing devices are provided according to the invention. The method includes the steps of initiating an invocation of a second software component from within an execution of a first software component. A stub start log data is recorded in an instrumented stub before the invocation of the second software component. A stub end log data is recorded in the instrumented stub after a response is received from the invocation of the second software component. The stub start log data and the stub end log data gather runtime information about execution of the second software component within the component-based software system. The monitoring is capable of gathering log data across a plurality of threads, across a plurality of processes, and across a plurality of processors.

Abstract: A method for displaying a computer system runtime information includes the steps of displaying a plurality of runtime information items in different hyperbolic trees. The method further comprises the steps of navigating and inspecting runtime information within each individual hyperbolic tree, and navigating between semantically linked hyperbolic trees.

Abstract: User code is operated in either a multithreaded or non-threaded programming environment by linking the code to different libraries. A standard thread library is linked with the code when operated in a multithreaded mode. A null thread library is linked to the code to operate in a non-threaded mode. The different libraries are linked to the user code through a common application programming interface allowing the same thread function calls to operate in either the multithreaded or non-threaded mode. The null thread library implements thread function calls as blocking functions which synchronize thread launches while eliminating the performance and memory overhead required in multithreaded processes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a peelable laminate suitable for cook-in packaging and a method of cooking a food product. The method includes the steps of:a) enclosing a food product in the peelable laminate, the peelable laminate having(1) an edible film in contact with the food product, and(2) a protective film peelably adhered to the edible film; andb) heating the enclosed food product to at least partially cook the food product, the edible layer adhering to the at least partially cooked food product with an adhesive strength which is greater than the force required to peel the protective film from the edible film. In this manner, the protective film can be peeled from the edible film after cooking without product loss due to adherence of food particles to the film. Furthermore, the peelable laminate prevents or minimizes cook-out and allows a modifier to be transferred to the food product via the edible film during the cooking process.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for the recovery of hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon containing composite materials, particularly roofing materials including asphalt and solid components to recover asphalt and the solid components. The process includes the steps of: agitating the materials with a solvent, preferably a terpene, to form a hydrocarbon/solvent mixture; heating the hydrocarbon/solvent mixture to vaporize the solvent; recovering the hydrocarbons; and recovering the solvent as a liquid by condensing the solvent vapor. The apparatus includes a composite materials washer for holding the composite materials and a solvent; means for agitating the composite materials washer to dissolve the hydrocarbons in the solvent; and a separator for vaporizing the solvent in the hydrocarbon/solvent mixture and recovering the hydrocarbons.
