Title: Electronic detonator with bi-directional communication circuit
Inventor: BEUKES CHRISTO ANDRE
IPC: F42B3/12
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: An electronic detonator has a firing element designed to be fired by the application of a voltage that is greater than a designed no-fire voltage VNF .  The detonator has been tested to ensure that the firing element is not fired by the application of a firing signal that is at a voltage that is less than a no-fire confirmation voltage which is less than the no-fire voltage.  Operating signals are transmitted to the detonator through a bi-directional communications circuit.  The detonator includes an operating circuit which is responsive to operating signals in a voltage range which lies in a first range of voltages which straddles the no-fire voltage and the no-fire confirmation voltage.  If the operating signal is in a range which is below the no-fir confirmation test voltage, the detonator transmits identity data along the bi-directional communication circuit.

The polymorph is prepared by reacting 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-((5-trifluoromethyl)-2-benzothiazolyl)methyl)-1-phthalazineacetic ethyl ester with NaOH in an inert polar solvent, to form sodium 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-((5-trifluoromethyl)-2-benzothiazolyl)methyl)-1-phthalazineacetate. This is adjusted to pH 7.5-8.5 to form a second solution comprising sodium 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-((5-trifluoromethyl)-2-benzothiazolyl)methyl)-1-phthalazineacetate.  A water soluble solvent is added to form a third solution, and the pH is adjusted to 1.5-2.5 with an inorganic acid to form the polymorph. Anhydrous zopolrestat may be prepared by heating the polymorph in water followed by drying. The polymorph may be used to treat, prevent or reverse complications arising from diabetes mellitus.  In particular, the compound may be used to treat diabetic cardiomyopathy, reduce non-cardiac tissue damage, lower blood uric levels, inhibit aldose reductase activity, prevent anginal pain, prevent heart damage or treat diabetic nephropathy.
