Patent EP-0794501-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EINFELDT WALTER
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 1997-02-25
Abstract: The information transmission involves feeding a constant carrier signal in the base station to an antenna coil. The transponder is inductively coupled to the base station. In the transponder, a field from the antenna coil is damped in accordance with the information to be transmitted. In the base station the transmitted information is recovered from an antenna signal taken from the antenna coil. From the antenna signal, two different combinations of the real part and imaginary part of the antenna signal are separately demodulated. Both components are separately digitised. From the two digitised components the transmitted information of the transponder is recovered using logic combination. The base station has a generator to generate a carrier signal with constant frequency and amplitude at least over a short time. A first antenna coil is coupled to the generator. A demodulator arrangement is coupled to the coil and provides the transmitted information. The transponder has a second antenna coil inductively coupled to the first. An impedance controlled according to the information is coupled to the second coil. The demodulator arrangement has a branch for each of the signals and a discriminator to generate the digitised signals. A differentiator provides the transmitted information from the two signals.

Abstract: The conventional aqueous suspension of loteprednol etabonate
is not easily amenable to production pH control and entails a
pH depression on long-term storage, thus irritating the eye or
the nasal mucosa on instillation. 
When a C2-7 aliphatic amino acid is added to an aqueous
suspension of loteprednol etabonate for topical ophthalmic
use, the suspension does not undergo pH depression even on
prolonged storage, with the result that no irritable response
is elicited in the eye or nasal mucosa.

IPC: G05D7/06

Abstract: The method involves using a measuring system, in which the analogue values of the volume flow are converted into digital values. The digital values are corrected with an offset. This offset is dependent on an alteration of the operating parameters of the analogue components (4-7) of the measuring system, during the operation of the measuring system. During an interruption to the operation, when the flow is zero, an analogue measurement is obtained and converted to a digital value, which is stored and used as the offset value. The offset value of each digital value is subtracted during the measurement operation. The corrected digital value is calibrated as a function of the hardware components of the measuring system. A pressure difference between two points in a flow duct (1) through which the fluid flows is determined as an analogue value, e.g. using an orifice plate.
