20100134598HAND-HELD SELF-REFERENCED APPARATUS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCANNING - A method and hand-held scanning apparatus for three-dimensional scanning of an object is described. The hand-held self-referenced scanning apparatus has a light source for illuminating retro-reflective markers, the retro-reflective markers being provided at fixed positions on or around the object, a photogrammetric high-resolution camera, a pattern projector for providing a projected pattern on a surface of the object; at least a pair of basic cameras, the basic camera cooperating with light sources, the projected pattern and at least a portion of the retro-reflective markers being apparent on the 2D images, a frame for holding all components in position within the hand-held apparatus, the frame having a handle, the frame allowing support and free movement of the scanning apparatus by a user.06-03-2010

20090062376Preparation of Taxanes From 9-Dihydro-13-Acetylbaccatin III - The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of 9-dihydrobaccatin III intermediates as useful precursors for the preparation of paclitaxel, 1, docetaxel, 2, and analogues thereof. More particularly, the process comprises the steps of (i) concomitantly deacetylating esters at the 10-position and 13-position of 9-dihydro-13-acetylbaccatin III to form 9-dihydro-10-deacetylbaccatin III; (ii) protecting a hydroxy group at the 7-position of 9-dihydro-10-deacetylbaccatin III; and (iii) acylating a hydroxy group at the 10-position to form a compound of formula II.03-05-2009
20090137796METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF TAXANES USING CHIRAL AUXILIARIES - The present invention relates to a stereoselective synthesis of novel β-lactam dimers as useful precursors for the preparation of paclitaxel, docetaxel, and analogues thereof. More particularly, the new β-lactams are prepared from readily available and enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliaries. The β-lactams are then reacted with a suitably protected taxane to produce diastereomerically enriched side chain-bearing taxanes. Finally, the chiral auxiliary is cleaved and protecting groups are removed to provide the desired taxane.05-28-2009

20090141828DISTORTION COMPENSATION CIRCUIT AND METHOD - The invention relates to methods and circuits for compensating linear in-band distortions such as those occurring in RF circuits of broad band communication systems. A low-rate sampling is used to collect statistical information about a modulated signal after it passed through the distorting circuits, which is then compared to reference statistical information for the modulated signal to iteratively adjust a frequency response of an equalizing linear filter inserted into the signal path so as to compensate for the distortions.06-04-2009
