While hardware/software partitioning has been shown to provide significant performance gains, most hardware/software partitioning approaches are limited to partitioning computational kernels utilizing integers or fixed point implementations. Software developers often initially develop an application using built-in floating point representations and later convert the application to a fixed point...

The purpose of this investigation was to prepare a gastro retentive drug delivery system of famotidine tablets. Floating tablets of famotidine were prepared employing lipid solid dispersion spray drying technique with gelucire 50/13 and compritol 888 along with HPMC K100M, lactose, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The floating tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, hardness, friabi...

Oil entrapped floating alginate beads of curcumin were developed and characterized. Cremophor EL, Cremophor RH and Tween 80 were utilized to improve the solubility of the drug. The oil-loaded floating gel beads prepared by emulsion gelation method contained sodium alginate, mineral oil and surfactant. The drug content and % encapsulation declined as the ratio of surfactant was increased. The re...

The IEEE-754 floating-point standard, used in nearly all floating-point applications, is considered one of the most important standards. Deep datapath and algorithm complexity have made the verification of such floating-point units a very hard task. Most simulation and reachability analysis verification tools fail to verify a circuit with a deep datapath like most industrial floating-point unit...

Floating matrix tablets of metformin hydrochloride were developed and evaluated for increase bioavailability by increasing gastric residence time and sustained release of drug on the upper part of gastrointestinal tract thereby diminishing side effects and enhanced patient compliance. Metformin hydrochloride, an oral antidiabetic having narrow absorption window in the upper part of gastrointest...

A Novel floating controlled release drug delivery system of famotidine was formulated in an effort to increase the gastric retention time of the dosage form and to control drug release. The present work investigates the approach using two different polymers HPMC K100 M and natural polymer Chitosan . A floating drug delivery system (FDDS) was developed using gas-forming agents, like sodium bicar...

A free‐floating space manipulator has outstanding advantages and wide application prospects compared with other categories. This paper discusses the concepts and categories of space robots and introduces the current trajectory‐planning algorithm for a space robot and its ground simulation system in the main countries of the world. This paper also constructs a system...
