Abstract: A method of real time process control in a reaction system for the procuction of acetic acid from the carbonylation of methanol. Raction system samples are collected from columns (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) and/or transfer lines (120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 210, 220) downstream of a reactor vessel (10), and the concentration of one or more components in the sample is measured by an infrared analyzer (90). The concentration measurements are then used to make adjustments in the concentration of components in the reaction system, directly or indirectly, such as by adjusting the temperature profile in a particular column (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80), the flow rate of solution in to or out of a column (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80), the vent gas rate out of the reactor (10) or a column (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80), or the addition or extraction of a component to or from the solution. For optimum process control, the measurements are transmitted to a control unit for real time analysis, and the adjustements are made substantially instantly after the infrared analysis.

Abstract: A measurement support system includes a measurement device and
a management device connected to the measurement device via a
communications network. When the measurement device uses consumable
materials such as reagents, the management device manages the stock of
consumable materials, supplies the consumable materials, and corrects
measured data in accordance with the state of the consumable materials.
Thus, the measurement support system can reduce the burden on users of
the measurement device. The reagents that are used in measurement by a
personal measuring instrument (3) located at each of patients' homes (B,
C, ...) are assigned a reagent ID number beforehand. This reagent ID
number and measured data are transmitted to a host computer (1) of a
medical institution (A). The host computer (1) determines the stock of
reagents based on the consumable material identifier received from the
personal measuring instrument (3) and ships the reagents to the patient's
home when the stock is running low. The host computer (1) also corrects
the measured data in view of a calibration curve and degradation based on
the production lot information of the reagents stored in correspondence with
the reagent ID number.

Abstract: A memory unit generates a corresponding output signal bearing data in response to an input signal. The memory unit includes a series of circuit stages configured to be triggered by the input signal at a first stage of the series, thereby causing a sequential triggering of stages along the series to a last stage to generate the output signal. The data is represented in time durations taken for each stage in the series to trigger a subsequent stage. In at least one embodiment, the data-bearing output signal is a temporally-encoded reflection of interrogation radiation received from an interrogation device. Each stage is configured to produce a detectable fluctuation in the output signal upon triggering of the stage such that the data in the output signal is represented by the time between fluctuations produced by each stage triggering a subsequent stage in the series.

Abstract: The invention relates to a urological resectoscope having an axially extending shaft tube, the proximal end thereof being fixed to a main body. A sliding body is proximally positioned in relation to the main body, and can slide in a parallel manner in relation to the axis thereof. Said sliding body comprises a receiver, a fixing device and a contacting device. An electrode which can be subjected to a high frequency, comprising an electrode carrier having one external, insulated conductive wire, can be positioned in the resectoscope in such a way that it can axially slide beyond the distal end of the shaft tube. In the assembly position, said electrode carrier extends through the shaft tube and the main body into the receiver, and can be fixed thereto by means of the fixing device and contacted therein by means of the contacting device. The inventive resectoscope is characterised in that the contacting device comprises an opening of the sliding body, said opening completely cutting through in a transversal direction in relation to the receiver, and extending perpendicularly in relation thereto, to a depth on the other side thereof. In the contacted state, the contacting device further comprises a clamping connector which is designed for pivotable clamping on a contact section of the electrode carrier.
