A system for the distribution of white light is configured for guiding light with a multitude of visible wavelengths in a propagation direction from the supply side to the distribution side. The system includes a transport fibre and a spectral conversion fibre. The transport fibre has a length extending from a first end to a second end, and a spectral transmission characteristics. The transport fibre is operationally connected to the spectral conversion fibre having a length extending from an input end to an output end. The spectral conversion fibre includes a photoluminescent agent for converting light of a first wavelength to light of a second, longer wavelength. A spectral conversion characteristics of the spectral conversion fibre is essentially determined by the spectral absorption and emission properties of the photoluminescent agent, the amount of photoluminescent agent, and the distribution of the photoluminescent agent in the spectral conversion fibre.

The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of an aminoalcohol of the formula racemically or optically active, starting from 2-azabi-cyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one, its further conversion to give the corresponding acyl derivative and its further conversion to (1S,4R)— or (1R,4S)-4-(2-amino-6-chloro-9-H-purine-9-yl)-2-cyclopentenyl-1-methanol of the formulae In the latter synthesis, the aminoalcohol is converted into the corresponding D- or L-tartrate, which is then reacted with N-(2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidin-5-yl) formamide of the formula to give (1S, 4R)- or (1R, 4S)-4-[(2-amino-6-chloro-5-formamido-4-pyrimidinyl)amino]-2-cyclopentenyl-1-methanol of the formulae and then cyclized to give the end compounds.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for detecting connectivity in a channel in an endoscope undergoing reprocessing using an automatic reprocessor, the apparatus including a source of pressurized fluid which may be a gas alone or gas and liquid and a back pressure detector connected to the channel or channels of interest in the endoscope, the method including providing a source of pressurized fluid, directing the pressurized fluid to a channel in an endoscope, monitoring the time for the back pressure in the pressurized fluid to decay to a predetermined level; and determining whether the channel is connected and open or disconnected by comparing the decay time of the actual back pressure to one or more predetermined values corresponding to the specific channel or channels and model of endoscope undergoing reprocessing.
摘要:
A replicate can be secured to a blister package intended to contain articles, such as pills, and is used to record the removal of individual articles from the blisters. To remove an article from a blister one will usually press against the blister to push the article through a frangible closure seal, breaking the seal in the process. The replicate includes a backing sheet which carries a plurality of traces alignable with corresponding blisters so that when the article is removed from the blister it will not only break the seal but it will also break the corresponding trace. All of the traces are connected to an integrated circuit which may also be formed or provided on the backing sheet, as is a power source for the integrated circuit. The breaking of the trace is an event that is recorded in the integrated circuit for later accessability. The replicate may be secured to the blister package after the package has been produced by conventional form-fill-seal equipment. The individual traces can be formed into a grid of closely spaced traces so that alignment of the traces with the individual blisters is less critical. The replicates may be formed by printing or other conventional methods on a roll of lidstock. After forming the individual replicates are severed from the roll of lidstock for securement to a blister package.
摘要:
A system and method directed to capturing the structure of data models using entity patterns is provided wherein an entity pattern is an abstraction, for example in the MICROSOFT BUSINESS FRAMEWORK®(MBF), that surfaces in the model editor of the framework at the root level and consists of one or more entity roles that together define a structural pattern of a model. The entity pattern may be considered as an über-model, or a model template for a model. Prescriptive rules are added to the design of entities, required properties and relations to other entities (entity roles). Applications of the entity patterns are validated at design time. The runtime framework supports any applied pattern and invokes the pattern specific code. It is a general advantage that the runtime operation is model driven and interprets the model data at runtime. The application and usage of a pattern is part of the model of the application/software program.
