Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs pour donner de la cohérence au formatage (UTC ou non-UTC) de l'horodateur de messages SMS (Short Message Service / service de messages courts), dans des dispositifs de communication mobile. Dans un exemple d'illustration, un procédé comprend: la réception d'un message SMS destiné à un dispositif de communication mobile; l'identification de si le message SMS possède des données d'horodateur formatées en format UTC (Coordinated Universal Time / temps universel coordonné) ou en format non-UTC; la conversion des données d'horodateur du format UTC au format non-UTC en se basant sur le fait que le message SMS a été identifié comme ayant des données d'horodateur en format UTC; l'échec de la conversion des données d'horodateur en format non-UTC en se basant sur le fait que le message SMS a été identifié comme ayant des données d'horodateur en format non-UTC; envoi du message SMS au dispositif de communication mobile. D'autres techniques comprennent l'utilisation dans le dispositif mobile d'un module d'identification d'utilisateur amovible qui comprend un indicateur enregistré dans la mémoire qui indique le mode d'horodateur, entre le mode UTC et le mode non-UTC, dans lequel fonctionne un centre de messages local.

Title: Topical aerosol foams
Inventor: HIRSH MARK
IPC: A61P23/00
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: A stable topical aerosol foam is provided. The foam-forming formulation includes a HFA propellant and an active agent in an emulsion. The emulsion has an oil phase and an aqueous, i.e. water-containing, phase. The active agent may be present in either phase or dispersed in the emulsion. The oil phase may consist at least in part of the HFA propellant. Either or both of the oil phase and the aqueous phase may contain one or more surfactants, emulsifiers, emulsion stabilizers, buffers, and other excipients. In an alternative embodiment, the aqueous phase contains a water-soluble active agent, for example, a local anesthetic, and the oil phase contains a water-insoluble second active agent. The foam is stable on the skin, for example for at least 10 minutes at body temperature, and will disappear into the skin upon rubbing or after prolonged standing. The formulation has the advantage of an inert non-flammable hydrofluorocarbon propellant without requiring the use of additional co-solvents or co-propellants. The composition is administered to the skin or mucous membranes.

Title: A process for energy recovery in processes for the preparation of aromatic carboxylic acids
Inventor: LIN ROBERT
IPC: F01K25/08
Filed: 2004-06-28
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of aromatic carboxylic acids by exothermic liquid phase oxidation of an aromatic feedstock. More particularly, this invention relates to the efficient energy recovery of the exotherm produced by the liquid phase oxidation of an aromatic feedstock. An apparatus useful in recovery of energy from the preparation of aromatic carboxylic acids by the exothermic liquid phase reaction of an aromatic feedstock is described where the primary means of energy recovery is by raising moderate pressure steam. This is coupled with a process to recovery low temperature energy using a process commonly known as an organic Rankine cycle and/or a heat pump. The combination of energy recovery methods increases the overall energy recovery and enables the recovery of reaction energy as either thermal energy (steam) or work or a combination of both.
