Abstract: A process for the production of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (BPA) is disclosed. The process that entails reacting acetone with phenol in the presence of cross-linked sulfonated polystyrene resins is characterised in that BPA is separated from the reaction solution downstream of the reaction unit by means of a multi-stage vacuum distillation and a subsequent single- or multi-stage layer crystallisation. The by-product stream with accumulated by-products is returned downstream of the reaction unit.

Abstract: What is proposed here is a method of structuring surfaces of glass-type materials and variants of this method, comprising the following steps of operation: providing a semiconductor substrate, structuring, with the formation of recesses, of at least one surface of the semiconductor substrate, providing a substrate of glass-type material, joining the semiconductor substrate to the glass-type substrate, with a structured surface of the semiconductor substrate being joined to a surface of the glass-type surface in an at least partly overlapping relationship, and heating the substrates so bonded by annealing in a way so as to induce an inflow of the glass-type material into the recesses of the structured surface of the semiconductor substrate. The variants of the method are particularly well suitable for the manufacture of micro-optical lenses and micro-mechanical components such as micro-relays or micro-valves.

Abstract: A metal piercing fastener for securing a light gauge sheet metal layer to metal/non-metal substrate layer(s) includes an elongated metal body having a crown at one end a sharpened and hardened tip at the other end defining a rigid metal penetrating region. The crown receives an impact blow from a tool for driving the rigid metal penetrating tip region in the substrates to be fastened. The metal body is equipped with one or more resilient tines each twisted at the base around its longitudinal axis and which can be integral or coupled to the metal body to optimize the gripping and clamping capability of the metal piercing fastener. The resilient tine may be equipped with protruding gripping and clamping elements on each side or with ribs on one of its outer surfaces to provide spring action gripping and clamping capability during fastening. The resilient tine is capable of deflection to conform to the physical constraints of the pierced substrate opening when passing through the pierced opening. The resilient tine is also capable of returning to its factory preset state of orientation when no longer constrained within the pierced substrate opening so as to grip and clamp the substrate layers being fastened between itself and the crown of the fastener.

Abstract: A membrane applied to the ostium of an atrial appendage for blocking blood from entering the atrial appendage which can form blood clots therein is disclosed. The membrane also prevents blood clots in the atrial appendage from escaping therefrom and entering the blood stream which can result in a blocked blood vessel, leading to strokes and heart attacks.The membranes are percutaneously installed in patients experiencing atrial fibrillations and other heart conditions where thrombosis may form in the atrial appendages. A variety of means for securing the membranes in place are disclosed. The membranes may be held in place over the ostium of the atrial appendage or fill the inside of the atrial appendage. The means for holding the membranes in place over the ostium of the atrial appendages include prongs, stents, anchors with tethers or springs, disks with tethers or springs, umbrellas, spiral springs filling the atrial appendages, and adhesives. After the membrane is in place a filler substance may be added inside the atrial appendage to reduce the volume, help seal the membrane against the ostium or clot the blood in the atrial appendage. The membranes may have anticoagulants to help prevent thrombosis. The membranes may be porous such that endothelial cells cover the membrane presenting a living membrane wall to prevent thrombosis. The membranes may have means to center the membranes over the ostium. Sensors may be attached to the membrane to provide information about the patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for controlling and/or exchanging data for multimedia appliances and an appliance suitable therefor According to prior art, methods and systems for controlling and exchanging data for multimedial appliances have the disadvantage that said methods, systems and appliances are very simple with regard to the requirements and the possibilities at hand and involve considerable hardware requirements. The invention is based upon the fact that each appliance which is integrated into the system sends a message at regular intervals and by means of the bus as soon as said appliance has been activated The type of the appliance can be detected by means of said message which also reveals that the appliance is switched on, i.e. active. All the remaining active appliances in the system evaluate said messages and send such messages themselves as long as said appliances are active. The active appliances can control other active appliances or exchange data with other active appliances if required because each active appliance is thus provided with information on the other active appliances in the system.
