Abstract:
A method and system for capturing and analyzing an image of a moving web of cigarette paper having a plurality of transverse banded regions. The captured images of the moving web of cigarette paper are analyzed to determine various characteristics of a population of cigarettes made with the cigarette paper. Each captured image is decomposed into a matrix of grey scale values associated with individual pixels of the image. The values are further processed to determine a width of a banded region on the cigarette paper. The average widths of banded regions, as well as the standard deviation of widths may be analyzed and correlated to freeburn and ignition propensity characteristics of a population of cigarettes formed from the measured cigarette paper.
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of certain chemical compounds. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of compounds that have been shown to activate human peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (“hPPARs”). The present invention also relates to certain chemical compounds useful as intermediates in the preparation of hPPAR active compounds.
The present invention provides compounds and methods for the treatment of diseases or disorders such as heart failure, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, gonadotropin deficiency, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, obesity, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and cancer.

International Classification:
C07B 5700
US Classification:
562402
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of carbocyclic stereoisomers of formulae (I), (I'), (IIA'), (IIB'), (VA') and (VB'), including enantiomerically pure (IIA'), (I) and (I') utilizing fractional crystallization of salts formed with a chiral base; a reducing agent; a protecting group removing agent or a protecting group providing agent.
