Abstract: | The Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility that is part of the nationwide nuclear weapons manufacturing complex. RFETS began operation in 1951 under the Atomic Energy Commission, until it was dissolved in 1975. Prior to 1992, RFETS engaged in the production of nuclear and non-nuclear components of atomic weapons, using plutonium, uranium, beryllium and stainless steel as the primary materials.RFETS is located about 16 miles northwest of downtown Denver, Colorado, in northernmost Jefferson County, west of the Cities of Broomfield and Westminster, Colorado. RFETS occupies approximately 6,535 acres of land owned by the federal government. Most of this land is vacant buffer zone surrounding a 385-acre industrial area, where most buildings and other structures are located, and where manufacturing activities at RFETS historically took place.Portions of Operable Unit (OU) 3 contain low-level deposits of radionuclides, primarily as a result of accidental releases from RFETS in the past. Migration via wind-borne dispersal or surface water runoff from the RFETS 903 Pad area is a likely source for some of the observed radionuclides in the OU 3 Individual Hazardous Substance Sites (IHSS's). The deposits of radionuclides at the 903 Pad, located near the RFETS inner east gate, resulted from the storage of numerous 55-gallon drums containing lathe coolants and plutonium. These drums were stored at the 903 Pad from 1958 to 1968, during which time the drums corroded and the lathe coolant and plutonium leaked onto surrounding soils.Reconstruction of the RFETS surface water holding ponds between 1970 and 1973 is also a primary source of some of the deposits of radionuclides observed in IHSS 200. Prior to 1979, process wastewater from decontamination operations and the laundry plant effluent were channeled through a series of ponds located along the South Walnut Creek, before the stream left RFETS and entered Great Western Reservoir. The holding pond reconstruction may have resulted in the resuspension of sediments containing radionuclides that were ultimately transported downstream into Great Western Reservoir. |
Remedy: | The selected remedy for OU 3 is no action. Based upon the Baseline Risk Assessment and the Environmental Risk Assessment, it has been determined that no action is needed for OU 3. The RFI/RI Report concludes that all IHSS's within OU 3 are already in a state protective of human health and the environment. Therefore, no remedial action regarding OU 3 or any of its constituent IHSS's is warranted. |

Angelique Kerber
FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – Venus Williams came within two points of upsetting the No. 6 seed Angelique Kerber who came back from 2-4 down in the third set to pull out 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 in a match that lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes.
The American finished the match with 16 double-faults and 60 unforced errors.
Despite the loss, Williams savored the moment. "I know this is not proper tennis etiquette, but this is the first time I've ever played here that the crowd has been behind me like that. Today I felt American, you know, for the first time at the U.S. Open," Williams said. "So I've waited my whole career to have this moment and here it is."
"Venus is such a great player. Everybody was against me," Kerber said of the crowd clearly cheering for Williams, but it did not matter to the German.
Williams, asked about Andy Roddick's retirement announcement an if she ready to retire herself: "No, because if I could have made two more shots, I probably could have won that match. I think there's a big difference for me because I'm beating myself. I'm not getting destroyed out there. If I was out there and people were killing me, maybe it's time to hang it up."
It was Kerber's 55th win of the year and she'll face next in the third round Olga Govortsova of Belarus.

Hi Tyimo
Regarding load resistance just to to make this clear I've never told that 1KOhm is optimal for LL1517 and Buffalo. I did few measurements and they clearly showed that load resistance has really big influence on this how this combo works..mainly for THD but also other measurements. And please know that from my measurements 1KOhm in this setup could be too much and we should go for much lower value maybe about 300-200Ohm, as this trafo load values gives much better measurements for THD. But again based just on my sbjective listening tests I did find that load less than 600-700Ohm seems to kill bit of dynamics IN MY Setup, but this is just my subjective opinion. So I definitely recommend you to test also different load values..there is no proof that 1kOhm is optimal. Dear Alex.. As for Input caps I definitely through them out... With Trafo caps at input are no use..there is no DC at trafo... And as for me no caps was definitely impovment.. All I can say is it is worth to try.. Dear Spartacus Well You could be right that 195Ohm is for one phase... so between phase connection makes 390Ohm ... And this could even explain me bit more why Russ "recommend/suggested" that for Buffalo he wouldn't use typical "current output"/"low imput impedance" trafos like for other current output dacs, as there is no chance to force Sabre to work in current output mode with any Trafo..but he "suggested" interstage trafo with 600:600Ohm...And 600Ohm could be probably "more optimal" for 390Ohm than 20Ohm from our LL1517. But as I've mentioned few months back in this thread I'm not trafo/dac specialist and I really could use somebody with much greater knowledge in this subject...As there is lot of different ideas and probably with Sabre all this configurations are working but what is the best/optimal solution I really would like to know... And I hope that Russ will correct me if anything I said He said is not what He said.... Regards Rosendorfer |

Hi Rosendorfer!
Thanks for all the help! I tried my LL1517 with another DAC and works super! The ideal for this transformer: 10 R primary source impedance and 600 R Secondary load. You should paralell the secondary windings to get 2:1 turn ratios. That would be good for you high voltage output DAC. Greets: Tyimo |

Hi guys
Is there any proven circuit for connecting 600:600 transformers (I'm using UTC A-20's) to the Buf II? Just straight from the output to the primaries? And what about the secondaries - RC filter, or just a resistor? Thanks, Fedor |
28th September 2010, 07:03 PM | #118 |

Hi Fedor
This is the beauty of this situation, as far as I know there is no "provern" circuit ... But on other hand it seems that with Buffalo moust of transformers "just" works..prety well. As for and RC filter it seems that You are on Your own, just trust to Your ear... It would be great to hear Your coments regarding this connection, as 600Ohm Trafos seems to be more siutable for Bufallo. Do You have standard IVY or Legato to make any comparision..?? Regards Rosendorfer |

Hi Rosendorfer, thank you for your answer.
Seems that I'll have to experiment with different circuits Buffalo II is 2-3 days away from me, so when it gets here, I think first I'll try straight out from dac to the primaries. And then will try some other circuits found in this thread. I'll post the results, when I'll get this thing running. As for the conversion board - alas, I don't have one, but maybe will get later. Thanks, Fedor |

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday appointed David Meidan to replace Hagai Hadas in efforts to broker a deal with Hamas and gain the release of captive soldier Gilad Schalit, who has been held in Gaza for almost five years.Netanyahu informed Schalit's parents, Noam and Aviva, of the new appointment at a late-night meeting he held with them, accompanied by his wife, Sara, at his Jerusalem residence.RELATED:Schalit family holds protest outside J'lem cabinet meetingHaniyeh urges Palestinians to back Schalit swap deal'German mediator back in region in Schalit deal efforts'Meidan has held a senior position in the Mossad and has already been involved in efforts to secure Schalit's release. He was chosen out of a number of candidates.Before leaving his post, Hadas will work briefly with Meidan so that he can bring him up to speed.Hadas announced last week that he was stepping down once his two-year term expired, a step he said he had always anticipated taking.In a statement the prime minister released to the media after the meeting, Netanyahu said Israel was continuing to work behind the scenes to free the soldier.Such activities will continue, Netanyahu said."I assure you that in the coming days and weeks, we will continue to operate by all the means that we have to bring about the release of Gilad," he said.Following the meeting, Noam Schalit said that the prime minister told him and his wife that efforts to free their son are ongoing, but without results. He told Israel Radio that in the private meeting, which lasted over an hour, he and Aviva expressed their protest and frustration that two governments in five years have been unable to bring their son home.Noting that the prime minister's invitation suggested he would be provided with updates about developments in the efforts to return his son, Noam said: "Unfortunately, the only thing we heard about was the appointment of the new [mediator]."President Shimon Peres will visit with the Schalits on Monday in a demonstration of solidarity and to assure them that the state is doing everything possible to bring home their son.Peres will also spend time talking to the people who have been a constant source of support to the Schalits.The Schalits have over time met with both Netanyahu and Peres, but the meetings were conducted in the offices or residences of the two leaders. Some government ministers have visited the Schalits and shared their concerns for Gilad's safety.Peres believes that it is particularly important for him to visit the Schalits just a few hours before the festival of freedom.Aviva and Noam Schalit, as is their custom every Sunday, went to the Prime Minister's Office accompanied by several supporters to demand that something be done to bring Gilad home.Aviva Schalit, with the anguish of a fearful mother, held up a sign which read: "Netanyahu, you have no mandate to kill Gilad."

Knicks' Late Surge Sinks Cavs
The Wine and Gold – minus rookie guard Kyrie Irving, a late scratch – pulled to within four, 76-72, on Samardo Samuels' layup with 5:19 to play. But the Knicks, battling injury issues of their own, closed the game on 15-3 run – handing the Cavaliers the 91-75 loss, their seventh straight.
The Cavaliers were without Irving, who dressed but didn't see action due to a sprained right shoulder he suffered on Friday night against Milwaukee. The Knicks, already dealing with the loss of Amare Stoudemire, learned on Saturday that Jeremy Lin suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee and will be out around six weeks.
Irving is one of the league's top scorers in the fourth quarter and its best in the final three minutes. The cool-shooting Cavaliers could've used that – netting just one field goal in the final five minutes.
"I thought we played hard," said Coach Scott. "We didn't know until we sat down and talked to Kyrie that he wasn't going to play, and the players didn't know that, but I thought they came out and gave a heck of an effort."
Antawn Jamison led the Wine and Gold with 13 points on 5-for-15 shooting. Jamison tied a team-high with seven boards. The other Cavalier with seven boards was Donald Sloan, who got the start two weeks after inking a deal with the team. Sloan added 10 points, four boards and a pair of steals.
Alonzo Gee pitched in with 12 points, six boards and two assists. Anthony Parker was the only other Cavalier to notch double figures, finishing with 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting.
In the Cavaliers' February 29 loss at the Garden, Steve Novak came off New York's bench to ignite the Knicks. On Saturday, it was J.R. Smith.
Smith, acquired by Knicks in February, scored 12 of his team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter. Carmelo Anthony finished with 19 points and Tyson Chandler doubled-up with 14 points and a dozen boards.
As former Cavalier radio voice Joe Tait might say: They won't be sending Saturday's game film to Springfield. Neither team shot 40 percent for the evening. The top assist man for either team was Baron Davis with five.
After playing five games in seven days, Byron Scott's banged-up squad gets their last two-day break of the season. On Tuesday night, they welcome the Spurs before hitting the road for three straight.
"I like what I saw, I really did," praised Coach Scott. "I thought Donald did a real great job running the show, getting guys the ball when they needed it. Being able to break down defenders and get to the basket. I was real happy with the way he played and very happy with the way Lester (Hudson) played. It was his second game just being with us for the last couple of days; I thought he did some real good things as well."

They are really lovely and so easy to wear
I bought these as I found booties too hot and other slippers either hard to keep on or not warm enough. These are the perfect slippers, will never go back! Read more
They are lovely for the first two three days..then the fur goes flat and then rubs away where your foot is.. Read more
Would like the sole to have more support....too thin and flat....feet slide around without a sole that has no depth
The are already going bald after a few days wear, I normally buy my slippers from next, they are about £8.00 and last much longer than these Emu's.

Fruity Pebbles
From: Post Introduced in 1969 This cereal was introduced as simply "Pebbles" in 1969. The recipe was a modified version of Post's Rice Krinkles cereal which disappeared about the same time Pebbles was created. While Rice Krinkes had a definite puffed rice appearance, this new cereal had smaller pieces that actually looked like little rocks. A happy coincidence happened when the creators of the animated television series The Flintstones sent out word that they were seeking licensing partners. During the first year of the show (1960), The Flintstones was aimed at adult audiences and Winston cigarettes was its biggest sponsor. In an effort to increase its appeal to children and advertisers pandering to children, The Flintstones added two children to it's animated cast, Pebble and Bamm-Bamm. The changes worked and the show was a hit with both kids and adults until 1966 when the show was canceled. Three years later in 1969, the characters of the show had no show and no where to go. Little did The Flintstone characters know... they were about to become breakfast cereal superstars. The new cereal that looked like pebbles and the cartoon that had character named Pebbles was a cereal match made in heaven. In 1970, the name of Pebbles cereal was changed to Fruity Pebbles and the first of many Pebbles variations appeared, Cocoa Pebbles. It's nearly 50 years since the character of Fred Flintstone debuted and he's still playing a starring roll on Fruity Pebbles cereal boxes. While TV commercials starring Fred and his neighbor Barney Rubble had their heyday in the 70's and 80's, you can still occasionally catch Flintstones characters hawking Post cereals.

Fruity Pebbles was my absolute most favorite cereal when I was a kid and it still is. When I have them now, it gives me fond memories of my childhood, watching cartoons with my sister. Definitely a classic cereal. Comment submitted: 4/11/2014 (#16941) By Alphonzie
I loved Fruity Pebbles as a kid and I still love it today, although I only have about once a year now days. Comment submitted: 3/19/2014 (#16406) By DrDollz (Team Breakfast Member)

Back in the late 1990's, O went to the Family Dollar in my town and found the CANADIAN version of Fruity Pebbles which was different from the USA version I've known for years. This cereal consisted of big pebble shaped corn puffs (about the same size as Corn Pops). Comment submitted: 11/18/2013 (#15344) By Ernie

I used to hate eating this cereal until I was on a blood type diet and I figured that it was my number 1 favorite now that I can't eat wheat or corn. (O+) Comment submitted: 1/15/2013 (#10391) By manofmystery
Cocoa Peebles are one of my favorites (and the cereal I most regular buy) but their Fruity brother is disgusting. I've never found a more unpleasant tasting fruit-flavored cereal. Comment submitted: 9/4/2012 (#9041) By reggie7
I love Fruity Pebbles. No cereal can replace it. I could eat a whole box in a day lol. They are so good! Comment submitted: 7/30/2012 (#8652) By MyEmptyCanvas (Team Breakfast Member)
Fruity Pebbles... NO! This is on my top 10 cereals that I hate list. LOL & to those that can't find it... I see big boxes of the stuff at Super Walmarts and local grocery stores all the time.

I want Fruity Pebbles again, but I can't find it in my regular store. I checked the Post website and there's no evidence that they're discontinuing it. What's going on? I'm really craving it lately. Comment submitted: 3/5/2012 (#6694) View all 16 comments for this cereal. |

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the New York Dinner Cruise. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
A must do trip when visiting New York. Meal, staff and service on the cruise exceptional.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely fabulous, the waiting staff were top draw, the food excellent .. But seeing New York from the water as we had already seen it from the air and from the ground just topped off a brilliant experience .. It's pricey, but sometimes you just have to pay a bit more for a quality experience. We would do it again and completely recommend to anyone
My parents loved it as a gift
this was a very great cruise and would recommend it to anyone taking a trip to new York. we were greeted by our waiter who advised us of an upgraded to a window seat following a change of date. the food was great the entertainment was good. during the cruise the DJ advises when photo opportunities arise so you can go and get your pictures. seeing Manhattan lit up at night is a must and this is a great way of doing it. we will definitely do this cruise again
We booked this as part of our honeymoon. We were blown away by New York at night. The staff were fantastic and the food was lovely - well worth the money.
What an experience!! We spent 6 nights in New York, this was our best experience whilst there. We travelled with our daughter and her husband and both age groups highly enjoyed the experience. We were well looked after from the moment we stepped on board until we left. If you are going to New York do not miss this trip.
It was our last evening in NYC we had a very busy action packed week and this was the perfect end to our holiday. It was fantastic seeing the Statue of Liberty at night and up close. Also to see the financial district and various other buildings from a completely different angle. The food was amazing and the music was very apt, the mixture perfect for all ages. We had a real fun time.
Deciding to have my daughters wedding dinner on this cruise was the best. Coming from Australia it gave our guests a piece of everything. Great food, great music, great scenery of all the best spots by night in NY. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Clayton our waiter/assistant was terrific he looked after our table of guests with drinks in a timely manner, the wedding cake was displayed beautifully. Thank you to everyone, we highly highly recommend your cruise, we have something very special and memorable to keep from our daughters wedding.
Fantastic evening, it was a great way to spend my 50th birthday.
We had a fantastic window seat (which we paid a little bit more for). The service was fantastic, the food delicious and there was DANCING! The highlight was seeing the Statue of Liberty lit up at night.
I would definitely recommend this cruise.
This tour was amazing!
We loved every moment of dinner cruise. Food was excellent. Yacht was beautiful. Scenery was awesome. The music was varied enough that everyone enjoyed. They even took requests. We would definitely do this again the next time we are in NYC. The only complaint would be we felt that we were purchasing mixed drinks with the paid open bar, but it only covered certain house wines. That should have been a little clearer. I don't drink wine but my friend does. So, I would not purchase the drink add on again. Overall, though, I would highly recommend.
unforgetable experiance..
Not really sure what to expect, especially when the tour notes recommended we dress smartly only to arrive a find a couple in t-shirt and jeans. We bought clothes especially. However, this was a very good night, good food well presented and dancing afterwards with the most spectacular skyline for photographs possible.
This tour was amazing!

We're stoked to announce a special split tour 7" with Off With Their Heads and Morning Glory! The 7" features new material from both bands and will be available exclusively at shows on their upcoming tour. Off With Their Heads deliver two songs including a moving cover of Morning Glory's "Care of Me" and a rerecorded version of "Always Alone" originally off their sophomore album, Home on Epitaph. Morning Glory recorded the brand new track "Nationality Anthem" with Jesse Cannon at Cannon Found Soundation Recording Studios. Brian Viglione of Dresden Dolls and now Violent Femmes fame is featured on the drums. Ezra describes the song as "a rocker of a tune" with "a good universal, one world, one web, type message." OWTH and MG kick off their December tour in Norfolk, VA on December 8th. Remember, this is a limited pressing (yes, it's on colored vinyl! 2 colors in fact!!) and not available at stores, so don't miss this tour!
Here's Ezra of MG's take on the whole thing:
I've heard that Off With Their Heads are total jerks who don't know how to play their instruments or drink. And Morning Glory are a bunch of softy wanna-be indie kids who need to stop listening to Barry Manolo and crying. So in the spirit of debunking myths we decided to do a split 7" with some brand new tunes. I for one can't wait to go out, have some fun, and prove that only some of that is half true. Anyone who hears these new tracks will know both bands like to rock, drink and sing along.

ISO: Kimchi

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy kimchi for home use. Which brand is best?
Anyone want to share their recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Galleria Supermarket has so many different varieties to pick from... I usually go for the in-store house brand. Tho personally I like taking it home, putting it into a food processor and chopping it up fine, then using that on noodles/rice/omelettes/anything!
Yonge and Steeles location is open 24hrs0 -
There's a small grocery store just west of Clinton on the north side of Bloor, down a set of stairs. I've been buying the kimchi there for years, and I love it. You can buy big tubs of it and, when it goes sour, use what's left to make kimchi chigae or kimchi fried rice.
Edit: sorry, I forgot to add that there's no brand. It's just the store's own kimchi.
re: scrawledinwax
It's called e-mart. Their kimchi is far superior to any of the ones found @ pat, tnt, galleria.
I really like their dried radish too.

re: shudder
Yes, they have many. There is a big counter with kimchi and various other banchan at the back right of the store, behind the produce.

re: shudder
The guy who ran/runs hogtown charcuterie (retail store is currently searching for a new space and I think he is at junction farmers market or some other junction event) made/makes an awesome kimchi, he also made this excellent wild ramp kimchi that I have no idea about the current availability of

re: shudder
Also at Galleria, besides the house brand they also import vac packed kimchi from Korea. I haven tried it though. If you go to Galleria on the weekend they often have kimchi available for sampling.

Salesman LyricsArtist: MonkeesAlbum: Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. To sell all your of your goods today Salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way Well salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk Hey, salesman, got a little dog whose tail wags when you talk You always wear a smile, even though you've gotta walk ten miles Short lifespan, goodtime salesman Yep, yep salesman got it on the street, whether it's hot or cold It's salesman, well, you work real hard, Until every part is sold Salesman as the years go by, People changing every day Hey, salesman 'til the end of time you'll be livin in the same way You always wear a smile, you love 'em fast and you live wild Short life span, but ain't life grand? Copper kettles, different kinds of tin There goes salesman and he's sailing high again He's sailing so high, high, sailing so high... Salesman where you gonna go to sell all of your goods today Yup, salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk Hey, salesman with your secret goods that you push while you talk You always wear a smile, Even though you've gotta walk a hundred ten miles Short life span - but the whole thing's grand Salesman... Now, well, I tried the one that you put it in and you have to do it manually. But I'd like the one that you just plug it in and it does it all by itself in a real long strand and you cut 'em up. It's easier to do it that way because, well, I put all the stuff in there and it keeps flippin' out. And I can't get the thing to stick together anything. Coupled with the fact that I have to stick two of them together to even get on out of it and they always end up lookin' like Lucky Strikes.

US 5096594 A Abstract A method of purifying cyclitols, particularly inositol, from mixtures including simple and complex carbohydrates begins by reducing the concentration of carbohydates other than cyclitols to facilitate separation and crystallization of the cyclitol in high purity. This separation can be achieved by separating carbohydrates on a chromatographic column then concentrating and crystallizing cyclitol from selected fractions.
Claims(11) 1. A method of purifying cyclitols from a mixture of carbohydrates by passing the mixture through a chromatographic column comprising preparing an ion exchange column in a suitable salt form, applying a plant juice mixture, then eluting with a DMSO:water gradient.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said plant juice is almond hull juice.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein said almond hull juice has a concentration of more than 6� Brix.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein said almond hull juice has a concentration of more than about 30� Brix.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said cyclitols include inositol.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the eluant from said column is concentrated and said cyclitols are crystallized from a mixture of DMSO and water.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein said cyclitols include inositol.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein said ion exchange column comprises a cation exchange styrene-divinylbenzene with sulfonic acid derivitization.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein said ion exchange column is in the calcium counter ion form.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein said ion exchange column is in the lead counter ion form.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein said DMSO:water composition varies between approximately 2.5:97.5 and approximately 30:70 v/v.
Description A method is described which allows simple separation of cyclitols and alditols from mono- and disaccharides. This is particularly useful in purifying cyclitols and alditol from plant sources, including corn steep liquor and almond hull juice. Cyclitols such as inositol are found in nature in a large number of plants. Inositol has been identified as a valuable nutrient and was for some time classified as one of the B-vitamins. Inositol was fist claimed to have vitamin activity by D.W. Woolley, primarily due to its antialopecia effect in mice. M. J. Jackson, S. Shin, Cold Spring Harbor Conf. Cell Proliferation, 9, 75 (1982). Classification as a vitamin was however confused for some time due to difficulties in analytical techniques for inositol and the successive finding of great variability in endogenous synthesis of inositol in different animals and different tissue types within these animals. Inositol is not now considered a true vitamin for humans, although it is clear that is essential for the survival and growth of many human cell types. ibid. Animals, including humans, normally synthesize endogenous inositol, but inositol deficiency can exist in animals which can lead to disease conditions. B. J. Holub, Ann. rev. Nutr., 6, 563 (1986). Recognizing the importance of inositol in animals, especially during periods of rapid growth, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has set a requirement for inclusion of inositol in infant formulas which do not contain milk (a good source of inositol). 21 C.F.R. 107.100 (1987). In yeast, and possibly higher animals, inositol appears to play some essential role in membrane phospholipid balande, and is required for proper growth. See Greenberg et al., Genetics, 100:19-3 (Jan. 1982). The standard commercial source for inositol is corn steep liquor since inositol is present as phytic acid in corn. See Artz, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 2,615,053, and The Merck Index, compound 4823page 788, Merck & Co., 11th Ed. (1989). Traditionally, inositol or cyclitols have been separated from a mixture of alditols and sugars, both simple and complex. Inositol has been purified by selective adsorption on zeolite molecular sieves. Chao, U.S. Pat. No. 4,482,761. Cyclitols can be crystallized from a mixture of sugars, but such crystaliizations typically include and occlude a significant number of impurities. Another traditional method of purification is to pass a mixture of sugars, alditols and cyclitols through an appropriate column to separate cyclitols from other sugars before crystallization. The present invention describes a method of selectively removing sugars from a mixture of sugars and sugar alcohols. The present invention also includes a method for removing alditols from the cyclitols, further simplifying purification of cyclitols. The feed stock for this invention can be any of a number of plant juices, including corn steep liquor, almond hull juice, cane and beet sugar molasses, sorghum molasses, wood molasses, and various fruit juices including cherry, plum (prune), pineapple, citrus, apple, etc. Plant juice extracts were purified by column chromatography using DMSO:water gradients. The resulting fractions were concentrated, then cyclitols were crystallized in high yield and high purity. One object of this invention is to provide a solution of cyclitol relatively free of mono- or polysaccharides. Another object of this invention is to provide highly purified, crystalline cyclitol. FIG. 1 illustrates a chromatographic separation of various sugars on a cation exchange resin in the lead counter-ion form. Inositol was separated from other carbohydrates in plant juice extracts. One suitable plant juice is almond hull juice, prepared by leaching almond hulls with hot water. A 30� Brix solution of almond hull juice (AHJ) has roughly 1.75.0 g/l of fermentable sugars, mostly glucose, fructose and sucrose. Other suitable plant juices include, for example, corn steep liquor, cane and beet sugar molasses, sorghum molasses, wood molasses, and various fruit juices including cherry, plum (prune), pineapple, citrus, apple, etc. Juices can be prepared by leaching the plant material using a suitable solvent, usually hot water. See W. L. McCabe and J. C. Smith, Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering, Third Edition, McGraw Hill, New York (1976). The specific leaching process and its operating conditions would in general depend on the plant material employed, as is well understood by persons skilled in the art. The selected plant juice was concentrated above 6� Brix, then applied to a column as described below. Solvent was partially removed from selected fractions, and inositol was crystallized. Mixtures of inositol and sorbitol could be selectively crystallized to provide crystalline inositol and a concentrated syrup of sorbitol, suitable for crystallization and further purification. Commercially available ion exchange resin, a cation exchange styrene-divinylbenzene with sulfonic acid derivitization was used for pilot scale separations of inositol from other sugars and cyclitols in almond hull juice extract. The column used was water jacketed with a resin bed of approximately 145 cm. � 2.5 cm. 30� C.-60� C. Brix syrup extracts of almond hulls were run through the column at 60� C.-80� C. in plug flow mode. The resin was used in both the calcium counter ion form and the lead counter ion form. Elution solvent was dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO):water in ratios of 2.5:97.5 to 30:70 v/v. With the resin in the calcium form, inositol eluted from the column imperfectly separated from fructose, i.e. there was no "peak to peak" separation. However, we discovered that inositol has a lower solubility in DMSO:water solutions that in water alone whereas fructose, glucose and sucrose retain the high solubilities. Using the cation exchange resin in either the calcium or lead counter-ion form, the critical separation is that of fructose from inositol, as these two compounds elute together, or with poor separation, using conventional process variables. Table 1 shows the solubilities of inositol can be fractionally recrystallized from a fructose-inositol solution in DMSO:water with fructose concentration as high as 30% w/v. Table 1 also indicates that inositol crystallization yields are higher upon cooling a DMSO:water solution compared to cooling a hot aqueous solution. For the measurements summarized in Table 1, reagent grade fructose and inositol were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. Technical grade DMSO obtained from Gaylord Chemical Co. Standard volumetric glassware was used to measure volumes, and analystical balance used to weight sugars and dry crystal yields. Crystals were separated from suspension by centrifugation at approximately 2,000�g for 30 minutes, then dried at 90� C. for 24 hours prior to weighing.

Merck Index, loc. cit With the resin in the lead form, changing DMSO:water ratios isocratically from near 2.5:97.5 t 30:70 resulted in increasing the peak to peak separation of inositol from fructose. The other sugars, as in the case of the calcium form, separated as pure fractions prior to the elution of fructose or inositol. The result of a one separation is shown in FIG. 1. This shows a separation on a Spectrum Corp. Spectra-Chrom glass column, water jacketed, 2.5 cm I.D. �180 cm. Resin heights during operation averaged 145-160 cm. Runs were performed at 65� C. over styrene divinylbenzene cation exchange resin TCC-14M, obtained from TechniChem, inc., Belvedere, Ill. FIG. 1 is the result of a run in lead counter-ion form. A 4.7 ml sample of 50.4� Brix almond hull syrup (previously ultrafiltered and deionized) was applied to the column. Elution at 4 ml/min was controlled by a Cole-Parmer variable speed Masterflex peristaltic pump using silicone tubing and an elution solvent of DMSO:H2 O, 10:90 v/v. The column output was taken through a Knauer Model 198 refractive index detector to a Spectrum Corp. Chrom Fraction Collector. Peak 1 is sucrose, peak 2 is glucose, peak 3 is fructose and peak 4 is inositol. Sorbitol eluted later and is not shown. The crystallization process from a solution involves the initial nucleation of the material to be crystallized, its growth to this final size, or crystal size distribution, and recovery from solution. Since the first recorded sugar crystallizations from solution, ca. 500 A.D., efforts have been made to (1) control the nucleation step, which in turn lead to a narrower crystal size distribution, (2) improve product yield and (3) improve product purity. R. C. Bennett, Chem. Eng. Progress Symp. Series, 65 (95), 34 (1969). The chemical composition of the solution from which a compound is to be crystallized affects nucleation kinetics as well as crystal morphology ("shape"), which has significant practical and commercial implications. The chemical composition of the solution will also contribute to impurity problems of the crystal product either as crystal inclusion impurity or absorbed impurities on the crystal surface. The chemical composition of the solution will affect product yield either by decreasing the practical degree of supersaturation attainable prior to nucleation (cf: below), or by necessitating additional recrystallization steps to purify the product. The first step in the crystallization process is reaching the optimum supersaturation point for the compound in solution. Inositol has a marked temperature dependent solubility. Crystallizing inositol from a solution of inositol in water should be, and is, a straightforward procedure of concentration of inositol in water at an elevated temperature, via evaporation, or some other mean of water removal, followed by temperature reduction to initiate nucleation, with or without the introduction of "seed" crystals. The sugar alcohol inositol, as found in almond hull juice extract, is in the presence of mono and disaccharides, namely glucose, fructose, sucrose, and sorbitol. The ratio of the sugars to inositol is approximately 8-10:1. Concentration of inositol in almond hull extract to the supersaturation point is best preceded by an inositol "enrichment" step: i.e. the concentration of inositol should be increased relative tot he concentration of other sugars and sugar-like components. This can be accomplished via a chromatographic separation. Concentrating inositol along with concentrating the other sugars would result in severe viscosity problems affecting nucleation and crystal growth, and potentially severe contamination of the inositol crystals by adsorption or inclusion of other sugars. Furthermore, yield per each batch crystallization step would be reduced due to viscosity and contaminant interference with achieving a high "ΔC," where ΔC=Csupersat. -Csat. i.e. the concentration of supersaturated inositol minus concentration of saturated inositol. This terminology is not equivalent to the accepted definition of supersaturation P=Csuper -Csat. (constant temp) which refers to the concentration of a material at supersaturation point, minus concentration at saturation point, at the same temperature. The "ΔC" referred to above is meant to emphasize the high supersaturation of inositol which can be achieved by exploiting the temperature dependent concentration properties of inositol. Stated in another way, perhaps, inositol can be supersaturated into the labile supersaturated region, where seed nucleation is not necessary, rather than the metastable supersaturation region, where seeding is necessary for nucleation. Eluted fractions of pure inositol, for example the inositol peak shown in FIG. 1, or inositol-fructose fractions from runs on a calcium counter-ion exchange resin, were collected in a fraction collector or manually into flasks. Test tube volumes were typically 10 ml, with fractions of interest in 7 to 20 tubes. Dilution factors for inositol concentrations were therefore at least seven fold; e.g. a plug injection of 5.0-10.0 ml of 50� Brix extract syrup containing 5-10% inositol would yield a pure inositol fraction with a concentration of about 0.3-1.4%. Aliquots of pure inositol fractions were evaporated at 80-90� C. down to final volumes in which inositol exceeded the solubility limit at 25� C. The final evaporated volumes were maintained at 5-10� C. overnight for nucleation and growth of crystals. Experiments with samples of almond hull syrup spiked with pure inositol to just below saturation at 65�) C. (approximately 0.45 g/ml) allowed more accurate recovery and weighing of crystallized inositol. Recovery percentages for inositol were in the range of 50-60%. Crystals were well-formed parallelopipeds characteristic of the monoclinic crystal class of inositol. Melting points fell within the 223-226� C. range for anhydrous myo-inositol. (Mel-Temp II. Laboratory Devices, Holliston MA). Purity of the crystals was 90%, as determined by microbiological assay (Hazelton Laboratories, Madison WI). The crystals were not washed with cold water or recrystallized prior to microbiological assay. The use of a mixture of DMSO:water as an elution solvent has three advantages. The first is that DMSO added to the water increases resolution when separating inositol from other sugars and cyclitols, even though in the case of calcium counter ion resin, this resolution is not complete, in our hands. The second advantage is that DMSO:water solutions increase the solubility difference between inositol and the other sugars, allowing easier fractional crystallization of inositol in the presence of other sugar. Further, whereas the solubility of inositol in hot DMSO approaches that of inositol in hot water, the solubility of inositol in cold DMSO is much less than inositol in cold water. This allows greater yields of inositol crystals per batch or semi-batch crystallization by cooling. The third advantage makes use of the solvent properties of DMSO for aromatic hydrocarbons. What we have observed is that the aromatic polyphenolic fraction ("tannin") which is present in solution with the sugars and cyclitols, elutes just prior to the sugars and inositol. Thus, much of the color molecules of the syrup, as well as other organic molecules which inhibit nucleation and crystal growth, are removed prior to collection of the inositol fraction.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to time reminder or indicator devices associated with medicament containers for indicating when a dose of medicine should be taken. In particular, the invention relates to a time reminder system for use with blister-pack containers of discrete quantities of medicine. 2. Description of the Prior Art There are numerous prior art examples of medicament containers provided with time reminder or calendar devices. Generally, the containers have, affixed to them, reminder devices which bear a plurality of indicia corresponding to desired time periods: for example, the indicia may correspond to hours, days of the week, etc. In the case of bottle-type containers, the time indicia are generally affixed to a member which is slidably or rotatably movable relative to a fixed index mark on the container, or vice-versa. In certain embodiments, however, the medicament container may take the form of a blister-pack pill dispenser having individually openable pill pockets and the indicia in such cases may be nothing more than printed information adjacent each blister associating each discrete dose (i.e. blister contents) with a day of the week, for example, indicating that the medication dosage in that blister is required to be taken at the indicated time. This type of time reminder device is commonly used in containers of birth control pills and one such device is known for dispensing aspirin tablets, each blister being marked with a day of the week. In any event, the indicia used on such dispensers are an integral part of the dispensers and, if for some reason a different time schedule is desired, the dispenser is unusable for such different schedule and a whole new dispenser/indicia package must be prepared for each new schedule. In some instances, medications must be prescribed by licensed physicians so that the proper dosages may be taken by the patient at uncommon although prescribed intervals (not simply daily) under proper supervision. In such instances, calendar type dispensing devices are helpful to the consumer. It has been found, however, that such prior art dispensing devices are either not available with respect to certain medications because of regulatory prohibitions or are not easily alterable to vary the dispensing time schedule in response to certain conditions which may require a different regimen. For certain medicaments which are available over-the-counter (OTC) for general use, but which must be prescribed by a physician in a certain regimen for some indications, the inability to purchase the medicament OTC with a reminder device is an inconvenience. For example, aspirin is available OTC and is used for a variety of purposes. It has recently been determined as a result of some test studies that certain regimens of aspirin may be helpful for certain medical indications. For example, certain dosages of aspirin taken periodically were shown to be helpful in reducing the incidence of secondary myocardial infarction (MI). The clinical data has, to date, apparently been insufficient to obtain governmental regulatory approval to enable aspirin manufacturers to market analgesic products for an indication of secondary MI directly to the public without professional supervision. That is, for example, it is not yet permissible to sell an aspirin product directly to the public in a container provided with a time reminder system suggesting that specific doses be taken at prescribed times in order to decrease the likelihood of a secondary MI. Nevertheless, it is permissible for physicians to prescribe specific aspirin regimens to certain patients and it would, therefore, be desirable to provide appropriate calendar type aspirin dispensers to be used by physicians. However, once a prior art calendar dispenser is given to a patient, because the indicia are an integral part of the dispenser, it is usable for only a limited time until the medication runs out. At that time, the patient must return to the physician or renew the prescription to obtain another calendar type dispenser. This may not only be an inconvenience to the physician and the patient, but it may also be unnecessary if the physician can more easily direct how the patient should continue taking medication. Some mechanism is desirable to enable physicians to treat selected patients easily and conveniently. It would be desirable to provide the physician with a time reminder device which could be prescribed for particular patients and applied to containers or dispensers generally available OTC. Thus, for example, a calendar type blister-pack container could be initially dispensed by the physician together with a separable time reminder device indicating a predetermined dosage schedule. When the medicine is all used up, the consumer could transfer the separable time reminder device to another medicament container which could be purchased OTC. Thus, a particular patient would be able to obtain an initial prescription from a physician and, subsequently, purchase medicine containers over-the-counter without the inconvenience of returning to the physician or a pharmacy merely to pick up medicine which is available OTC. In many instances, medication is prescribed on a varying schedule in order for the patient to be slowly introduced to or withdrawn from an efficacious medicament level. For example, beta blockers, anticonvulsants and antidepressants must generally be prescribed in stages. In situations where a physician may desire to provide a patient with a time reminder device in association with medication which must be introduced or withdrawn in stages, it would be desirable to provide the physician with a variety of time reminder devices usable with a common container such that the regimen for taking the medication would be easily variable in order to reflect the elements of dosage quantity and frequency of the various desirable stages. In view of the above, it is an object of this invention to provide a time reminder system having an indicia means separable from a medicament dispenser. It is a further object to provide a time reminder system which enables a blister-pack medicament dispenser to be usable either with or without any time reminder indicia. It is yet another object of this invention to provide a time reminder system which enables a physician to prescribe for selected patients a medicament regimen which may be monitored by the physician as well as conveniently refilled by the patient by OTC purchases of medicament. An additional object of this invention is to provide a reminder system for a blister-pack medicament dispenser wherein the time schedule of the system is easily variable. These and other objects of the invention are achieved by the preferred embodiment disclosed herein in the form of a reminder system for providing an indication of when a dose of medication should be taken, comprising: a planar medication holder for holding a plurality of unit doses of medication, said holder having a front surface and a rear surface; frangible means retaining said unit doses of medication to said holder; a planar indicia means adapted to be retained adjacent said front surface of said holder, said indicia means provided with a plurality of visible indicia each of which is associated with one of said unit doses when said indicia means is attached to said holder; means for separably retaining said indicia means to said holder. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a foldable, medicament containing blister package embodying the principles of the invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of paperboard blank used in the manufacture of the foldable blister package of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a plan view of an alternate embodiment of a paperboard blank usable to produce a larger foldable blister package of the type shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a front perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a reminder system 8 constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention and comprising foldable blister pack dispenser 10 and separable indicia means 11. Dispenser 10 is constructed in a conventional manner from a paperboard blank 12 (best seen in FIG. 2). Blank 12 comprises a top panel 14 foldable along fold line 16 in order to be placed in abutting relationship over bottom panel 18. Panel 14 is provided with a plurality of linearly arranged apertures 19 and panel 18 is provided with a corresponding plurality of filled areas 20 each circumscribed by a score line 21 (to facilitate opening the blister, as will be understood below). Each panel is also provided with a plurality of fold lines separating the panels into various portions described below. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that a suitable thermo-formed blister containing material (not shown) will be sandwiched between the folded panels 14 and 18 such that the blisters 50 (best seen in FIG. 1) will protrude through apertures 19. A suitable frangible foil backing (not shown) is sealingly secured to the rear surface of the blister material adjacent bottom panel 18 in order to retain a desired medicament in tablet or other form placed within each of the blisters. As best seen in FIG. 1, dispenser 10 comprises a medicament or tablet containing portion 30 joined along a fold line 32 to a broad hinge portion 34 which is in turn joined along fold line 36 to cover portion 38. The latter is joined along fold line 40 to a broad hinge portion 42 which is in turn joined along fold line 44 to a locking flap portion 46. Some various other parts of dispenser 10 are numbered with an "a" and "b" suffix to the numbers used in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicating that some features of the final, folded dispenser are formed of two cooperating ("a" and "b") parts of both panels. Aperture 22 is provided to view a date code on the foil backing (not shown). Tablet containing portion 30 comprises a plurality of blisters 50, each extending above the top surface 52 of portion 30 and each containing a medicament dosage 54 in tablet or other form. The purpose of the broad hinge portions 34 and 42 is to assure that, when cover portion 38 is folded adjacent and parallel to portion 30, it remains spaced sufficiently therefrom to avoid crushing the blisters. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the various portions 30, 38 and 46 are foldable into a compact package with locking flap 46 ultimately lying parallel to the back surface 60 of portion 30 such that locking tab 62 may be inserted into cooperating locking slit aperture 64 in order to keep dispenser 10 in a closed position. Indicia means 11 comprises a separable sheet member 70 which in the preferred embodiment is formed from a relatively firm, durable and reusable material (such as any suitable plastic or thick gauge paperboard) and is provided with locking tabs 72 and 74 and a plurality of apertures 76. Locking tabs 72 and 74 are intended to cooperate with locking slits 78 and 80, respectively, in order to retain sheet member 70 adjacent the top surface 52 of portion 30 in a manner such that blisters 50 extend through apertures 76. Sheet member 70 must be bent slightly in order to engage tabs 72 and 74 with their respective slits. Any suitable indicia 82 may be printed on the top, visible surface of sheet member 70, thus identifying which tablet should be taken at which time in accordance with a regimen prescribed by a physician. A differing schedule could be printed on the reverse side of sheet member 70 (not shown) in order to give the physician some flexibility to easily alter the regimen for a particular patient. Obviously, other sheet members could be prepared to define any other desired schedules. Sheet member 70 may be initially formed with an attached flap 84 joined to the sheet member along a perforated line 86 so that it may be detached when desired. Flap 84 may include any desirable identifying instructional or advertising printed information 88. Similar information may obviously be included on the various portions 30, 38 and 46. It will be understood that blister pack 10 may be formed in any desired size with any number of blisters. The preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is, along with the sheet member shown, convenient for a weekly supply of medicament dosages to be taken on alternate days. FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a paperboard blank 100 which could be used in a conventional manner to produce a 28 tablet dispenser. It will be understood that the panels 102 and 104 are folded and cooperate in a manner identical to the cooperation between panels 14 and 18 of FIG. 2. The groups 106, 107, 108 and 109 of linearly arranged apertures and their counterpart filled/scored areas 106a, 107a, 108a and 109a are staggered so that when the panel 110 carrying apertures 106 and 107 is folded over adjacent to panel 112 carrying apertures 108 and 109, the groups 106 and 107 are arranged in interdigitated fashion adjacent groups 108 and 109. Panel 110 may be provided with a perforation 114 to enable the strip containing group 106 to be torn away when the tablets in that group are used up. Sheet member 70 could be used with such a dispenser merely by moving it from one row of blisters to the next as necessary. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that numerous improvements and modifications may be made to the preferred embodiment of the invention disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

If you use a url link to open a classic notes document ( i.e. not xpages ) with the launch property open first attachment set then the attachment will be launched immediately - it works really well. I will write something up and put it on my blog then add a link here. If you had more than one attachment you might need to construct a temporary document with just the attachment you wanted. |
I haven't found a way to let users directly open files using the standard download control, but as a workaround you could create links to the files using the (old school) syntax:
This won't add the content-disposition header that causes the file download dialog. |
