Abstract:
The potent platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist, roxifiban, is produced in crystalline form. Crystalline roxifiban exists in two polymorphic forms, designated Form 1 and Form 2. These polymorphic forms are characterized by x-ray powder diffraction and solid-state carbon NMR. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of diseases mediated by platelet aggregation are described.

Abstract:
Electro-optic modulators are disclosed. An electro-optic modulator includes an optical ring resonator, an optical waveguide, and a cavity of electro-optic material. The waveguide has a first portion positioned adjacent the resonator to create a first coupling region and a second portion positioned adjacent the resonator to create a second coupling region. The cavity of electro-optic material is embedded within the waveguide between the first portion and the second portion. A method of optical modulation includes the steps of receiving light into an optical waveguide, coupling a portion of the light from the waveguide into an optical ring resonator at a first coupling region between the waveguide and the resonator, transmitting the light remaining in the waveguide into a cavity of electro-optic material embedded within the waveguide, and transmitting the light from the cavity to a second coupling region between the waveguide and the resonator.
Multiple Potential Based Chronoamperometric Free Chlorine Sensors
A chronoamperometric method and device to determine concentration of an electrochemically active species in a fluid and pH of the fluid. A plurality of sets of calibration relationships may be determined for a sensor in an aqueous solution, the sensor having one or more working electrodes and one or more reference electrodes. A first plurality of potentials may be applied across the working and reference electrodes of the sensor in solution, and a first plurality of currents and current differences obtained as a function of the applied first plurality of potentials. Concentration of an electrochemically active species may then be determined as a function of the obtained first plurality of currents and current differences using the plural sets of calibration relationships, and pH of the solution may be determined as a function of the obtained first plurality of currents and current differences using the plural sets of calibration relationships.
