Abstract: An mp3-standard bitstream is formatted into a sequence of
fixed-length data frames. These include headers, side information,
main information and a remaining data field without
generally defined information denoted as 'ancillary data'. 
The mp3PRO format is an extension of the mp3 format, wherein
the additional mp3PRO data are transferred in the ancillary
data fields. In various applications, e.g. Internet music
search machines, a necessity arises for a fast determination
of the bitstream types. Such determination is normally executed
using an mp3PRO decoder. However, because the frame
header does not contain a corresponding pointer to the start
address of the ancillary data field, an mp3PRO decoder must
first completely decode at least one data frame according to
the mp3 standard in order to find the end address of the mp3
data and thereby the following start address of the mp3PRO
data in that data frame. Thereafter the mp3PRO decoder must
examine the data following in the data stream for characteristics
that are typical for mp3PRO additional information. 
The invention discloses how the bitstream type can be determined
without using mp3 decoding and without using an mp3PRO
decoder.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for production
of a cyclic ester by depolymerization of an aliphatic
polyester. In the process, a mixture containing the
aliphatic polyester and a specific polyalkylene glycol ether,
which has a boiling point of 230-450°C and a molecular weight
of 150-450, is heated under normal or reduced pressure to a
temperature at which depolymerization of the aliphatic
polyester takes place. Then, a substantially homogeneous
solution phase, consisting of the melt phase of the aliphatic
polyester and the liquid phase of the polyalkylene glycol
ether, is formed. Heating of the solution phase is continued
to form the cyclic ester by depolymerization and distil out
the cyclic ester together with the polyalkylene glycol ether,
and then the cyclic ester is recovered from the distillate.
The present invention also provides a process for
purification of a crude cyclic ester by use of the specific
polyalkylene glycol ether described above.
