Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine and methods for preparing the same.

Abstract: A method of decompressing image data, includes reception of a VQ encoded image. The received image is decoded. Output image color space processing is performed in combination with the decoding as one process. Output image color space processing may include color transformation, half-toning or both. The resulting output image has been both decoded and transformed in color space.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a process for the preparation of compounds of Formula I 1

Abstract: A method for data compression. An encoder receives data vectors from an original data set. The encoder uses a vector quantization codebook to encode the data vectors into encoded vectors. The codebook is constructed from a compound data set, where the compound data set includes real data vectors and artificial data vectors. The encoded vectors are indexed in the codebook and the indexes are transmitted across communication channels or transmitted to storage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel acyclic chiral compound of Garcinia acid of formula I, Wherein: R2=R5=lower aryl ester or alkyl ester or substituted aryl alcohol or alkyl alcohol R3=substituted aryl ester or alkyl ester or substituted aryl alcohol R1=R4=hydroxyl or And a process for preparing the same

Abstract: A method of locating packet identifiers held in respective memory locations in a memory, the method comprising receiving a plurality of packets, each packet including a packet identifier, searching said memory locations in a sequence to compare an incoming packet identifier with packet identifiers stored in the memory until a match is found, incrementing one of a set of counters associated respectively with the memory locations, said incremented counter being the one associated with the memory location where the match packet identifier is held, and reading values of each of the counters and using said values to determine the sequence in which the memory locations are searched for subsequent incoming packet identifiers.

Abstract: A process for the isolation of Garcinia acid from the fresh or dried rinds of the fruits of Garcinia indica, Garcinia cambogia and/or Garcinia atroviridis.

Abstract: A two-piece clip, utilized to maintain a concrete filler panel positioned in a cavity formed between a double-tee roof or floor member and a wall partition over which the double-tee member extends, comprises a female portion fastened to the undersurface of the double-tee within the cavity and above the wall partition, and a male portion which is lockingly engaged to the female portion after positioning the filler panel in the cavity. The clip is movable in relation to the filler panel during normal flexing of the double-tee member relative to the partition wall.
