Abstract: A distilled water fountain which is capable of supplying the users with purified icy, warm and hot drinking water and composed of a pre-heating exchanger, a condensing-and-heating exchanger, a distilled water tank, a steam generator, and an electronic chilling device. Running water flows into the pre-heating exchanger through water intake pipe, and further flows through the condensing-and-heating exchange into a steam generator wherein the water is vaporized and then condensed into distilled water for storage in the distilled water tank. The stilled water may be made available directly in warm water condition, or may be cooled into icy water through electronic chilling device, or heated into hot water through stean generator for drinking by users.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment includes:   - an exchange (EX) including junctors (ET0, ... ET31), a connection network (CN), and a control unit (CU);   - an optical distribution network (DN);   - and subscriber installations (CPN0, ..., CPN255).   The non-interactive services (SD, CY) are connected up to the control junctor (ETE0), so as to transmit non-interactive service signals to all the subscriber installations (CPN0, CPN10, CPN20) which are monitoring the wavelength (Lc) of the control junctor. These installations may therefore benefit from these services without each having to establish a communication, and therefore without occupying one junctor per subscriber installation. Each subscriber installation (CPN255) which requests a non-interactive service during an interactive communication retains the wavelength (Ld) and the junctor (ETE31) which were allocated to it for the interactive communication.   Application to wide band telecommunications networks. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention describes two industrial processes for the preparation of heterocyclic 7-membered ring ketones by means of Dieckmann condensation with avoidance of the customary dilution method. In addition, the otherwise customary high excesses of base are distinctly reduced and the reaction times are significantly shortened. In one process the 1,8-dicarboxylic acid ester is added to the recirculated reaction mixture in the region of a jet, in the other the 1,8-dicarboxylic acid ester is added to the top of a packed column and diluted along the column by means of the condensate from the reaction mixture boiling under reflux in the column. The yields achieved by these procedures are 80-89% of theory. The distinctly improved yields allow the synthesis of azelastine (INN) and flezelastine (INN) in increased total yield, the final reaction to the end product being carried out in water instead of in organic solvent. Reaction in water gives yields of 70-90% of theory.

The invention consists of organizing a flow of parts via an arbitrary number of successive stations by the alternating transfer in pairs between respective adjacent stations so that, as a result, a forward as well as a return movement of workpieces or workpiece carriers is produced. For this purpose, dumbbell-type double transfer devices are used between all stations, and alternate of the transfer devices are operated simultaneously to transfer the workpieces.
