Abstract: Described is a retarded-action formulation for urapidil, based on the principle of osmotic action, in which the active substance, together with adjuvants, is enclosed in a semi-permeable envelope with an outlet hole. The formulation is characterized in that it contains a readily soluble salt of urapidil as the active substance, plus sugars and/or sugar alcohols with a solubility of less than 30 % by wt. in water at 37  DEG C as adjuvants. Formulations of readily soluble urapidil salts can be prepared for once-daily or twice-daily administration, these formulations being characterized above all by a high bioavailability which is unaffected by the intake of food.

Abstract: The bottle-shaped container is made in a coextrusion blow molding process and has a dimensionally stable outer container and an easily deformable inner bag which consist of different thermoplastic materials that cannot be welded to each other. The preform has a diameter greater than that of the bottle neck so that, when the blow mold is closed, the blow mold halves squeeze off excess material not only on the bottom, but also in the shoulder and neck area. Unwelded seams of the outer container are thereby formed in the shoulder and neck area. In the bottom area the outer container is closed by a weld seam which has been formed by displacing material, the weld seam of the inner bag being fixed in said area. After negative pressure has been applied to the inner bag, holes are formed in the upper area of the outer container for the purpose of a permanent pressure compensation. All openings in the outer container are covered by the pump housing. The container operates reliably in the upside-down position.

Abstract: A manufactured seed is disclosed which comprises a plant embryo preferably encapsulated, or at least in contact with, a hydrated oxygenated gel. The gel can be oxygenated by passing oxygen gas through a gel solution before curing the gel or by exposing the gel to oxygen gas after curing. The gel is preferably oxygenated by adding to an uncured gel solution a suitably stabilized emulsion of a perfluorocarbon compound or a silicone oil, which compounds are capable of absorbing large amounts of oxygen, and are non-toxic and inert. The seed analog can further comprise an outer shell at least partially surrounding the gel and embryo, thereby forming a capsule. The outer shell preferably is shaped to aid the radical of a germinating embryo in protrusively rupturing the capsule, thereby facilitating successful germination and minimizing incidence of seedling malformation. Other shell materials are selected to provide requisite rigidity to the capsule while imparting minimal restriction to successful germination. In a preferred embodiment for germinating embryos having cotyledon(s), at least the cotyledons are enclosed in a porous material resistant to penetration by the growing cotyledon(s), and the embryo and porous enclosure are encapsulated in a hydrated gel.

Abstract: A DCT coefficient outputted from a DCT circuit (21) is quantized by quantization circuits (22 to 25) with different quantization coefficients, and the code length of each quantized output is determined by each code length calculation circuit (28 to 31). The code lengths obtained from calculation circuits (28 to 31) are summed for one screen by adders (33 to 26). In this way, the respective totals of measurement bits corresponding to a plurality of quantization coefficients are obtained. A comparator (37), multipliers (38, 39) and an adder (40) select two, close to the target total, from the totals obtained, and determine a scale factor for obtaining a quantization coefficient coresponding to the target total of bits. A quantization coefficient generator (27) generates an optimum quantization coefficient in the next or second scanning from this scale factor.

Abstract: In this system with instant allocation of zone calls, the traffic of persons between at least one main stop (HH) and zones in a high building is managed via an elevator system (ABC) consisting of, for example, three elevators (A; B; C). The traffic of persons filling the building, which arrives at the main stop (HH), is symbolised by arrows (P0; P1...Pn) pointing to the elevator group (ABC). The traffic of persons leaving the building, which arrives at the main stop (HH) is symbolised by arrows (Pa) pointing away from the elevator group (ABC). Each elevator user filling the building passes a gate (G0; G1...Gn) allocated to one zone, in which a sensor (S0; S1...Sn) registers the elevator user. The elevator user conveys his desired zone by choosing the appropriate gate (G0; G1...Gn) without manual operation of a call registration device of the elevator control. The signals of the sensors (S0; S1...Sn) are forwarded to the control devices of the elevators (A; B; C) which, in turn, inform the elevator user, before he leaves the gate (G0; G1...Gn), about the respective allocated elevator by means of a display device (D0; D1...Dn). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A quantity of handling operations which are to be carried out by ripple-control receivers are formulated and stored in a ripple-control transmitting centre in a list of commands which are defined with respect to time. Stored in the ripple-control receivers is in each case one image of that part of the list which corresponds to that part of the handling operations which is to be carried out by the relevant ripple-control receiver. The list is preferably a transmitting centre time-program list (SZPL) whose lines (Z1 to Z23) each contain an information unit. The image is then a receiver time-program list (EZPL1 or EZPL2 respectively), whose lines (Z1, Z3, Z4, Z8, Z11, Z12, Z13, Z15 and Z16, or Z4, Z6, Z9, Z10, Z15, Z16, Z18, Z21 and Z22 respectively) each contain at least one part of an associated line of the transmitting centre time-program list (SZPL). Known ripple-control methods and ripple-control receivers operating in accordance with the pulse-interval method are functionally improved such that the latter can carry out time-dependent commands automatically while maintaining the simple and clear operation of existing ripple-control installations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improved circuits for measuring the conductivity of a solution confined between two electrodes in a cell compensate for series capacitance and parallel capacitance between the electrodes. A bipolar square-wave signal is applied to the cell. In one embodiment, the current through the cell is measured by an op-amp in current-to-voltage converter configuration. A feedback resistance employed with the op-amp in a feedback loop is controlled to a low value to ensure that the parallel capacitance is fully charged during an initial portion of each half-cycle of the drive signal. The feedback resistance is then selected so that the gain of the feedback loop is responsive to the range of the resistivity of the solution, and the measurement is made. The period of the bipolar signal is selected responsive to the selected loop gain, to ensure that a filter capacitor across the op-amp is fully charged, and to limit distortion caused by the series capacitance. More particularly, the rate of charge of the series capacitance is proportional to the solution resistance; by varying the period of the drive signal in accordance with the solution resistance, the distortion introduced by the series capacitance remains negligible. In a further embodiment, charge proportional to the current through the cell is integrated across the op-amp, and the rate of charge is measured by measuring the time required to integrate the current to a predetermined level, and used to determine the resistivity of the solution. In this embodiment, the parallel capacitance is fully charged before each integration period begins. The voltage developed across the series capacitance is constant and can be compensated mathematically. <IMAGE>
