  • Patent number: 9663451
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new forms of co-crystals of agomelatine and p-toluenesulphonic acid, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The co-crystals according to the invention have better solubility than agomelatine and are therefore more suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions. They also have better stability and purity and, moreover, are obtained by a simple process which does not include any difficult steps.

  • Publication number: 20170052087
    Abstract: A method for detecting leakage at a fluid connection for a gas turbine fuel supply system is disclosed herein. The method includes closing a flow control valve at an upstream end of the fuel supply system and pressurizing the fuel supply system with a compressed medium via a compressed medium supply to a target pressure. The target pressure is less than a pressure threshold of a check valve that is disposed downstream from the compressed medium supply and upstream from a corresponding combustor of the gas turbine. The method further includes pointing a receiver portion of an ultrasonic detection device proximate to at least one tube fitting of the fuel supply system located between the flow control valve and a combustor which is fluidly coupled to the fuel supply system. Detection of an increase in sound level and/or the sound of popping at the tube fitting is indicative of a leak at the tube fitting.

    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system. The SCR system includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and defining an internal volume. At least one catalyst can be positioned within the internal volume. A mounting support is positioned around at least a portion of a perimeter of the housing. A heat shield is positioned around the perimeter of the housing such that the housing is positioned substantially within the heat shield. A portion of the heat shield is disposed on and in contact with the mounting support . A clamp is positioned around a heat shield perimeter. The clamp is positioned on the portion of the heat shield disposed on and in contact with the mounting support. The mounting support is configured to transmit a clamping force of the clamp on the heat shield to the housing to prevent buckling of the heat shield from the clamping force.

  • Patent number: 9472325
    Abstract: A dielectric cover system for an insulator supporting a high voltage conductor is molded to fit over the insulator to cover at least a top portion of the insulator and the conductor in contact with the insulator. A clip internal to the cover allows the cover to be freely placed over the insulator and then effectively restricts an inner diameter of the cover at a reduced diameter neck portion of the insulator, such that the clip blocks the cover from being lifted off the insulator and rotated about the insulator during high wind conditions. The clip is particularly effective where the conductor is supported in a side groove of the insulator, so the insulator and conductor form an asymmetric structure.

  • Publication number: 20160257975
    Abstract: This invention relates to metabolically engineered microorganism strains, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a fatty acid or fatty acid derived product, wherein the modified microorganism produces fatty acyl-CoA intermediates via a malonyl-CoA dependent but malonyl-ACP independent mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9396234
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for an event monitoring tool configured for complex event processing (CEP). In one embodiment, a data processing system can include a CEP event monitoring tool configured for coupling to touch points over a network and a repository of a log of events occurring in the touch points. A dashboard can be displayed by the tool and can include a canvas view of events, associated interaction blocks each including filter criteria for associated events, and at least one activity triggered by an evaluation of at least one of the filter criteria in at least one of the interaction blocks for a corresponding one of the touch points. The canvas view further can include visual links between the events and the associated interaction blocks and between the activity and an interaction block amongst the interaction blocks triggering the activity.

  • Patent number: 9362733
    Abstract: A dielectric cover system for an insulator supporting a high voltage conductor is molded to fit over the insulator to cover at least a top portion of the insulator and the conductor in contact with the insulator. A bolt through the cover is inserted to a depth to engage a reduced-diameter neck area of the insulator to prevent the cover from being rotated about the insulator during a high wind condition. Other securing devices may instead be used that allow the cover to be freely placed over the insulator and then effectively restrict an inner diameter of the cover at a reduced diameter portion of the insulator, such that the securing device blocks the cover from being lifted off the insulator and rotated about the insulator.

  • Patent number: 9355208
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting defects on a wafer are provided. One method includes determining locations of all instances of a weak geometry in a design for a wafer. The locations include random, aperiodic locations. The weak geometry includes one or more features that are more prone to defects than other features in the design. The method also includes scanning the wafer with a wafer inspection system to thereby generate output for the wafer with one or more detectors of the wafer inspection system. In addition, the method includes detecting defects in at least one instance of the weak geometry based on the output generated at two or more instances of the weak geometry in a single die on the wafer.

  • Patent number: 9347862
    Abstract: Methods and systems for setting up a wafer inspection process using programmed defects are provided. One method includes altering a design for a dummy area of a production chip such that printing of the dummy area on a wafer results in printing of a variety of defects. Two or more of the defects have different types, one or more different characteristics, different contexts in the design, or a combination thereof. The dummy area printed on a wafer may then be scanned with two or more optical modes of an inspection system to determine which of the optical mode(s) are better for defect detection. Additional areas of the wafer may then be scanned with the optical mode(s) that are better for defect detection to determine noise information. The noise information may then be used to select one or more of the optical modes for use in a wafer inspection process.

  • Patent number: 9304822
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a service is disclosed. A program system running on a computer system in a network data processing system identifies the service on the computer system and a set of resources used by the service. The program system collects information about the service and the set of resources used by the service. The program system uses the information collected to identify a change to a configuration for the service which will increase performance of the service. The program system then makes the identified change to the configuration for the service.
