Patent EP-0583907-A3 (EP)
IPC: B01J31/10
Filed: 1993-08-02
Abstract: An energy-saving process for the production of trioxane 
which comprises forming an aqueous solution of formaldehyde, 
synthesizing trioxane from formaldehyde in the aqueous 
solution in the presence of a solid acidic catalyst and 
extracting trioxane from the aqueous solution, characterised 
in that prior to any distillation step the aqueous solution 
containing trioxane is contacted with a water-insoluble 
organic solvent having a boiling point higher than that of 
trioxane and being free from any azeotropic composition with 
trioxane so as to form an organic phase containing trioxane 
and an aqueous phase containing residual formaldehyde, and 
thereafter the organic phase is separated into trioxane and 
the organic solvent by distillation, the organic solvent is 
recycled to effect further trioxane extraction and the aqueous 
phase is recycled for reconcentration in formaldehyde content 
for re-use in the trioxane synthesis.

Patent EP-0608734-A3 (EP)
Title: Wristwatch.
Inventor: GANTER WOLFGANG
IPC: G04C10/00
Filed: 1994-01-15
Abstract: A wrist-watch (11) which is completely troublefree for the user is produced by combining a radio clock (26, 27) with, for example, a long wave antenna (35) which is integrated into the bracelet (strap) (36) and serves to receive the absolute time information sent in code form, in combination with an electrophysical or electrochemical memory (store) (16) which is recharged from at least one solar cell (38). Since this wrist-watch (11) runs eternally and with regard to its pointer position is compared cyclically, for possible automatic display corrections, with the absolute time information received via radio, this wrist-watch (11) can be fitted per se with a hermetically encapsulated, completely closed housing (12). However, in order to be able to subject the element most susceptible to malfunction, specifically the memory (16), to a performance check, the housing (12) is provided after all with a through opening, for example in the form of a hermetically resealable threaded bore (54) through which at least one contact point (59) can be accessed by a test prod (probe) in the course of the guidance of the electrical conductor to the memory (16), in order to be able to observe how the stored charge rises as a function of strongly heightened radiation of the solar cell (38). Again, direct rapid electrical charging of the memory can be performed via this access from a charger which is adjusted with regard to the voltage limitation. Finally, overpressure can be pumped into the housing interior (17) through the opening released, in order that the watch glass (50) pressed radially into the housing wall (21) can be pressed out axially and then the sandwich structure in the housing interior can be dismounted for the purpose of servicing. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for subcutaneous medication delivery.
Inventor: FISCHELL ROBERT E
IPC: A61M25/06
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: Disclosed is an injection port assembly for subcutaneous delivery of medication. A single moulded body (11) has a soft flexible cannula (14) extending downwardly from a generally flat bottom surface and a self-sealing septum (22) mounted at the centre of a top surface which is generally of a concave shape sloping downward towards its outer perimeter at which point the single body is very thin. The single body (11) also has a tubular extension (12) which is directed outward parallel to the skin's surface. A metal needle (8) which penetrates through the septum and through the lumen of the soft cannula is used for inserting the cannula through the skin. The distal section of the needle has an external shoulder which engages an internal shoulder in the cannula so that the cannula will be in tension during insertion thereby preventing an accordion-like compressional failure of the cannula. A quick-release connector on the proximal end of the tubular extension or mounted directly on the injection port assembly allows the tubing connecting the injection port assembly to a portable medication pump to be disconnected when the patient showers or performs some similar activity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To perform the self-diagnostic of the CPU(1), the CPU
monitor macro service (6) is activated in response to the
interrupt signal from the external. In the CPU monitor
macro service, according to the CPU monitor macro service
code (102) in the instruction code storage area, the initial
value α for use in diagnosing the CPU which has been
written in the RAM previous to the initiation of the CPU
monitor macro service is stored in the TA register (114).
Also, the address β denoting the output destination of the
execution resultant value of diagnosing the CPU by using the
initial value α is stored in the TC register (112). The
initial value α is used for checking an address and a path
related to the RAM, and for checking the register saving the
data in interrupt processing. Subsequently, the arithmetic
operation unit, ALU executes the operation on the execution
resultant value to transfer operated execution resultant
value to the ALU register (126). Thereafter, the execution
resultant value is forwarded to the TA register, and is
further to output to the output destination in the external
memory designated by the address β stored in the TC
register via the input/output port, the status of the
microcomputer is checked at the external thereof.
