  • Publication number: 20240100015
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an arctigenin liquid nano-preparation and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation. In the present disclosure, arctigenin is prepared into a liquid nano-preparation, having advantages of distribution of a droplet diameter on nanoscale, significantly increased specific surface area, rapid absorption, and high bioavailability. Meanwhile, nano-preparation entered the body can be captured by wandering leucocytes, and a medicament is delivered to inflammatory lesions through chemiotaxis, thereby conferring a targeted drug delivery feature on the arctigenin and making a therapy more targeted. Moreover, in the present disclosure, the arctigenin is dissolved in an oil phase, and the oil phase is dissolved in water by emulsification to further make the arctigenin dissolve in the water and increase water solubility of the arctigenin.

  • Patent number: 9664496
    Abstract: A method of determining the length of a cable coupled to a transceiver of a network device includes transmitting a first series of pulses of a first pulse width onto a cable, receiving reflections of the first series of pulses, transmitting a second series of pulses of a second pulse width onto the cable, and receiving reflections of the second series of pulses. The second pulse width is wider than the first pulse width. It is determined whether the reflections of the first series of pulses satisfy a criterion. The length of the cable is calculated using either the reflections of the first series of pulses or the reflections of the second series of pulses, based at least in part on whether the reflections of the first series of pulses satisfy the criterion.
