  • Patent number: 9946590
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to facilitating communication between a memory module and a central processor. In example implementations, a memory module may receive, via a memory bus, a plurality of command strings. The received plurality of command strings may be stored at a reserved set of addresses on the memory module.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7818094
    Abstract: A control system monitors salt level in a brine tank having a water inlet. The control system comprises a memory device storing an amount representing actual salt level in the brine tank. A sensor determines water level in the brine tank. A control valve is operatively connected between a water supply and the water inlet for controllably supplying water to the brine tank. A logic circuit is operatively connected to the memory device, the sensor and the control valve for determining salt level in the brine tank. The logic circuit periodically operates the control valve responsive to sensed water levels to fill the brine tank with water, updates the stored actual salt level in the memory device responsive to water supplied to the brine tank, and provides an indication when actual salt level in the brine tank falls below a select salt level.

  • Publication number: 20050043546
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula (I): wherein P1 and P2, which may be the same or different, are amino protecting groups, which comprises protection of a compound of formula (II) in solution phase continuous operation mode. This confers advantages over batch mode operation. The process is usually conducted in reaction equipment adapted for use in continuous processing mode, for example comprising one or more static mixers or a plug flow reactor. Preferably, the plug flow reactor comprises a jacketed tubular reactor fitted inside with internal mixing elements which continually split and remix the reaction streams promoting mass and heat transfer, whereby a uniform plug flow profile with turbulent fluid flow is achieved. The invention also provides a process for production of the antibacterial compound gemifloxacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate thereof, comprising converting a compound of formula (I).

  • Patent number: 4830917
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the production of finely divided matrix material having substantially uniform porosity about the surface thereof with nuclear tracks from an isotropic source. Selected products of the process have only surface porosity or pores which pass completely through the matrix material.
