Abstract: The apparatus (10) includes a cylinder (12) for containing a
pressurized therapeutic oxygen gas, a nasal cannula (16), adapted to be
introduced into a nasal passage of a patient, and a conduit (18)
extending between the cylinder and the nasal cannula for directing the
therapeutic oxygen gas to the nasal cannula from the cylinder. A
pressure sensor (26) is provided on the conduit for detecting the
pressure in the conduit. A valve (20) is provided, in the conduit, which
allows and blocks the fluid communication between the cylinder and the
nasal cannula. A controller (30) controls the operation of the valve in
synchronization with the respiration of the patient, based on the
changes in the pressure detected by the pressure sensor. The volume of
the oxygen therapeutic gas passing through the valve for each
respiration is increased, compared with a normal respiration condition,
when the respiratory frequency increases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
manufacturing a highly pure 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene having a
purity of 99% or more even when a mixture of
dimethylnaphthalene isomers containing 5 wt% or more of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalate
is used as a feedstock. The method for
manufacturing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene comprises a step of
performing crystallization and solid-liquid separation of a
liquid primarily containing dimethylnaphthalene isomers so
that the liquid is separated into a cake containing the
dimethylnaphthalene isomers and a mother liquor, and a step
of performing separation/purification of the cake. In the
method described above, the crystallization and the solid-liquid
separation are performed under the condition in which
the ratio of the content of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene in the
mother liquor to that of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene therein is
not less than 1 so that the content of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene
in the cake is 60% or more and that the
content of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene therein is 6.5% or less.
As a result, a highly pure 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene is
obtained by performing the separation/purification of the
cake.

Title: Plaster containing an active agent
Inventor: SCHUNK WERNER
IPC: A61K47/30
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a plaster containing an active agent, comprising at least one cover membrane and an active membrane which is based on a skin-compatible matrix containing a molecular sieve which is loaded with at least one active agent. The molecular sieve/active agent adduct releases the active agent when the active membrane comes into contact with the skin, in conjunction with the transpired water of the skin. The inventive plaster is characterised in that the molecular sieve/active agent adduct also contains water of crystallisation, to the extent that the molecular sieve is partially hydrated compared to a sufficient basic molar quantity (m) of water of crystallisation, the molecular sieve with the reduced molar quantity (m') of water of crystallisation being loaded with the active agent (Z, Z<SUB>1</SUB>, Z<SUB>2</SUB>) so that when the active membrane comes into contact with the skin, water is absorbed and the active agent is desorbed, whereupon the water of crystallisation content of the molecular sieve increases. The invention also relates to various suitable embodiments of the plaster containing an active agent and to an advantageous method for producing the inventive plaster containing an active agent.

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Autofokussierung, insbesondere für Fernrohre von Vermessungsgeräten, die mit Bildsensoren, die das Bildsignal in einzelne Bildelemente (Pixel) auflösen, wie CCD- Zeilen und/oder -Matrizen sowie CMOS- Bildsensoren, ausgerüstet sind. Ausgehend von dem Pixel, das der optischen Achse am nächsten gelegen ist, wird die lokale Signalamplitude aus dem monoton fallenden oder steigenden Signal bis zum nächsten lokalen Maximum und Minimum berechnet. Dabei wird, solange diese lokale Signalamplitude wesentlich kleiner ist, als das maximale Signal ist und sich das Fokussierglied des Fernrohrobjektives in Fokussierstellung für kurze Zielweiten befindet, dieses Fokussierglied in grossen Schritten verschoben. Je nach Grösse der lokalen Signalamplitude im Verhältnis zum Maximalsignal udn der Lage (Position) des Fokussiergliedes im Bereich grösserer Zielweiten wird die Schrittweite verkürzt. Bei einer bestimmten Grösse der lokalen Signalamplitude im Verhältnis zum Maximalsignal werden zusätzlich  die Kreuzkorrelationsfunktionen (KKF) jeweils aus einigen Pixeln des Signals und geeigneten Vergleichsstrukturen gebildet und bei einem bestimmten Verhältnis einer aus der KKF gebildeten Bezugsfunktion zur lokalen Signalamplitude eine mit der optischen Tiefenschärfe vergleichbare Schrittweite gewählt und auf das Maximum der KKF fokussiert.
