Patent EP-0349176-A3 (EP)
IPC: F17C5/06
Filed: 1989-06-19
Abstract: A control assembly 6 is described for controlling the 
flow of gas from a gas generating cartridge 21 into a 
gas bottle (not shown) to be charged and whose neck is 
inserted into a recess 16. The bottle cannot be 
inserted until a latch 44 has been pushed upward by 
means of a button 50 and until an operating lever (not 
shown) has been rotated sufficiently to turn a spindle 
portion 64 through 90 o  into a recess 66. The button 
is then released to latch the bottle and the operating 
lever closes a micro-switch in series with a second 
micro-switch which is only closed when the neck of the 
bottle is in recess 16. These micro-switches 
electrically energise an ignition unit in the cartridge 
20 and gas generation starts. Gas passes through a 
sintered metal filter 28 and through a bore in a piston 
78 and a pin 80 into recess 16, escaping around the 
outside of the gas bottle neck thus purging 
contaminants. The gas pressure moves piston 78 and pin 
80 to the right and the distal end of the pin sealingly 
enters the bottle. Gas pressure opens a check valve in 
the bottle neck and charges the bottle. When peak 
pressure is reached, the check valve automatically 
closes. The operating lever then moves spindle portion 
 
 
64 clockwise which opens a depressurising valve 82, 
allowing any still-present gas in manifold 74 to pass 
via bore 85 to the underside of piston 78, thus 
withdrawing pin 80. Button 50 can now be depressed to 
enable the charged bottle to be removed.

Patent EP-0431871-A3 (EP)
Title: A process for the preparation of ketones
IPC: B01J27/125
Filed: 1990-12-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of aminoalkyl p-hydroxyphenyl ketones. Certain of these ketones are well known as important intermediates in the production of compounds having pharmaceutical activity, for example octopamine or synephrine. The known Houben-Hoesch reaction is a variation of the Friedel-Crafts reaction and involves the condensation of a phenolic substrate with a nitrile in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to give a hydroxy-aryl ketone. It is an object of the invention to provide a new or improved process for the manufacture of aminoalkyl p-hydroxyphenyl ketones. According to the invention, there is provided a process for the preparation of an aminoalkyl p-hydroxyphenyl ketone comprising reacting phenol with a nitrile, in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, to cause condensation thereof, the process being characterised in that the reaction is carried out in a medium comprising a nitroalkane solvent for the reactants. A preferred but non-limiting feature of the invention is the productiqn of 2'amino-4-hydroxyacetophenones. The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that nitroalkanes are unexpectedly much better solvents for this reaction, being less toxic, giving a better yield and also ensuring a homogeneous reaction medium. The nitroalkanes may also be diluted with a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, which acts as an inert diluent, thus reducing the amount of nitroalkane used, and making the reaction less hazardous.

IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: A method and kit are disclosed for recalibrating a factory-prepared relationship between concentration and expected signal Rexp produced by an analyzer. The method and kit use two or three calibrators at the field to obtain an actual signal Ract for the two calibrators Clow and Chigh, for example, and these two actual signals are used to create a ratio of Ractlow/Rexplow and Racthigh/Rexphigh. The first of these is used to correct the expected signals for concentrations below the lower calibrator concentration, and the second is used to correct expected signals for concentrations above the higher calibrator concentration, producing pseudosignals PSlow and PShigh. A straight-line relationship is applied between the corrected PSlow and PShigh, and that relationship is used for concentrations between Clow and Chigh. <IMAGE>
