Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing trioxane from aqueous formaldehyde solutions in the presence of acidic catalysts. The reaction of the formaldehyde to give trioxane takes place in a reaction column equipped with a circulation evaporator, and the formaldehyde solution used as the starting solution is mixed with a sidestream from the bottom of the reaction column and fed to the upper section of the reaction column via a tubular reactor. The process is notable for a low energy requirement and little by-product formation.

Abstract: An improved system and method for managing data on a handheld electronic device includes a server that periodically pushes data to a particular handheld electronic device, with the data being stored on the handheld electronic device by way of a routine running in the background whereby such reception and storage is generally transparent to a user. The data can be any type of data and may be data that is desired by the user or that fits a profile or preference of the user. The profile can, for instance, be predetermined and/or can be customized by the user and/or can reflect a preference of the user. The data pushed to the handheld electronic device can also be related in some fashion to a geographic disposition of the handheld electronic device. Such pushing of data and storage is managed by a routine running in the background of the handheld electronic device. The routine enables current data to be maintained on the handheld electronic device for ready access by a user.
