  • Patent number: 7551544
    Abstract: This invention relates to power control arrangements of digital subscriber lines. The invention controls parallel subscriber lines simultaneously in an organized way, based on the measurements of crosstalk conditions of the sub-scriber lines. Different crosstalk conditions are measured. The organized way to control the transmission power levels ensures that the crosstalk does not increase to an unacceptable level in each of the subscriber lines.

  • Publication number: 20070142325
    Abstract: Production of purified, parenterally administrable starch by washing starch containing more than 85% amylopectin in order to remove surface-localized proteins, lipids and endotoxins, subjecting the starch to a molecular weight reduction by acid hydrolysis, and optionally removing residual water-soluble proteins. Purified starch and microparticles based on such starch.

  • Publication number: 20070122484
    Abstract: A process for producing microparticles containing biologically active substance, in which process an aqueous solution of the said substance is prepared, this solution is mixed with an aqueous solution of PEG such that the substance is concentrated and/or solidified, the substance is optionally washed, the substance is mixed with an aqueous starch solution, the composition obtained is mixed, after the admixture of the starch solution, with a polymer solution, thereby forming an emulsion of starch droplets in the polymer solution, the starch droplets are solidified into microparticles, the microparticles are dried and a release-controlling shell is optionally applied to these. Novel microparticles which are obtainable by means of this process.

  • Patent number: 7105181
    Abstract: A process for producing parenterally administrable microparticles, in which an at least 20% by weight aqueous solution of purified amylopectin-based starch of reduced molecular weight is prepared, the solution is combined with biologically active substance, an emulsion of starch droplets is formed in an outer phase of polymer solution, the starch droplets are made to gel, and the gelled starch particles are dried. A release-controlling shell is optionally also applied to the particles. Microparticles which essentially consist of said starch, have an amino acid content of less than 50 ?g and have no covalent chemical cross-linking.
