Patent EP-1304337-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARAI KUNIO
IPC: C08B15/02
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: A method for forming II-type cellulose, which
comprises introducing together a slurry having water and a I-type
cellulose dispersed therein and water in the state of
high temperature and high pressure to a tubular reactor (28)
contacting the I-type cellulose with a hot water in a
supercritical state or subcritical state for a predetermined
time in the tubular reactor (28), to thereby cleave a part of
the hydrogen bonds in the I-type cellulose and dissolve the I-type
cellulose into the water in a supercritical state or
subcritical state, cooling a cellulose solution discharged
from the tubular reactor (28) in a cooler (30) to room
temperature or lower, followed by allowing to stand, to
thereby precipitate crystals of II-type cellulose having a
molecular weight lower than that of the I-type cellulose, and
separating the resultant II-type cellulose from a solvent.
The method allows the preparation of pure II-type cellulose by
the use of a simple process.

Abstract: A composite containing an RFID can be mounted on, in, or adjacent a metal object without de-tuning of the antenna of the RFID. The composite (12) includes a first RFID or a EAS device-containing layer (14), and a foamable material layer (17) held in proximity with the first layer. The foamable material layer expands in size and reduces in density when subjected to external stimuli, such as heat or microwaves. The foamable layer may comprise an intumescent material, and may have RF radiation-absorbing material filler. Pressure sensitive adhesive (19), when the composite is in a label form, may be used to mount the composite on or adjacent a metal (22) object after printing of the printable surface (12) of the composite, and the foamable material layer (17) is subjected to the external stimuli after printing and either before or after mounting on or adjacent the metal (22) object.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to formulate prostaglandin
derivatives which are hardly soluble in water and liable to be adsorbed to a
resinous container and prostaglandin derivatives which are liable to
decompose when dissolved in water in ophthalmic solutions. Solubility of the
prostaglandin derivatives in water is improved and the adsorption thereof to
the resinous container can be remarkably inhibited by adding a nonionic
surfactant such as polysorbate 80 or polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil
60 to the ophthalmic solutions. The decomposition of the prostaglandin
derivatives can be remarkably inhibited by adding an antioxidant such as
disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate or dibutylhydroxytoluene.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining a synchronization
between received DS-CDMA coded multipath signals and a provided code.
Signals are provided to a plurality of Rake fingers (1,2). Each of the
Rake fingers correlates received signals of a multipath, associated with
the respective Rake finger, with the provided code. In order to enable a
reduction of interferences between the multipaths, it is proposed that
for each Rake finger, an interference from signals of multipaths
associated with the other Rake fingers is estimated, based on
characteristics of pulse shaping filters employed by a transmitting unit
and the receiving unit, on estimated propagation delays on the
multipaths and on the correlation results in the Rake fingers. The
method further comprises subtracting the respective estimated
interference from the correlation result in the corresponding Rake
finger. The invention relates equally to a corresponding software, ASIC
and receiving unit.
