Solid state illumination system

An illumination system comprises at least two light sources (101,102,103) having different emission spectra to one another; a detection circuit (131,132,133) for sensing a light intensity using at least one of the light sources as a photosensor; and driving means (161,162,163) for driving the light source in dependence on the sensed spectral distribution of light. The emission spectrum of a light source with the smallest bandgap overlaps the emission spectrum of a light source with the second-smallest bandgap. The illumination system is possible to measure the intensity of light emitted by the light source with the smallest bandgap by putting the light source with the second-smallest bandgap in detection mode. The illumination system may also sense the spectral distribution of ambient light, to allow the output from the illumination system to be adjusted in dependence on the ambient light.

Methanol Carbonylation Process with Rhodium Catalyst, an Iodide Salt and a Metallic Co-Catalyst Selected from Transition Metals, Indium, Strontium, Barium, Zinc, Tin and Heteropoly Acids

A carbonylation process for making acetic acid uses a metallic co-catalyst composition effective as a rhodium stabilizer and rate promoter at molar ratios of metal / rhodium of from about 0.5 to 30. A preferred process includes: (a) reacting methanol with a carbon monoxide feedstock in a rhodium-based catalytic reaction mixture having: (i) a rhodium catalyst metal, (ii) methyl iodide maintained from about 1 to 20 weight percent, (iii) a lithium iodide co-catalyst, (iv) a metallic co-catalyst composition, (v) water maintained from 0.1 weight percent to less than 8 weight percent, (vi) methyl acetate maintained from about 0.5 to about 30 weight percent, and (vii) acetic acid; (b) flashing crude acetic acid from the reaction mixture; and (c) purifying the crude acetic acid. This process achieves stability and a STY greater than 10 mol / L / hr, with substantially less than a theoretically equivalent inorganic iodide content corresponding to the metallic co-catalyst and lithium iodide.

Elevator

The invention concerns a lift having a drive unit. The invention further concerns a wind power installation having a lift. To reduce the costs of the lift and thus make the lift economically more attractive the lift of the kind set forth in this specification is characterized by a cupboard used as the lift car. In that respect the invention is based on the realization that a cupboard in its basic structure with bottom, side walls and a door does not differ from a lift car produced specifically for a lift. Naturally there are differences, for example in suspension and operation of the door, but those differences can be removed insofar as they are an obstacle to use of a cupboard as a lift car so that the complication and expenditure overall is always still less than the complication and expenditure for a lift car constructed specifically for the lift.

Taste masked pharmaceutical composition comprising pH sensitive polymer

The present invention discloses a substantially amorphous pharmaceutical composition comprising a drug that can exist in a variety of polymorphic forms and a pH sensitive polymer, which inhibits the crystallization of the drug during formulation and reconstitution. Polymers of higher molecular weight are more effective at lower loading, especially when the drug polymer matrix is prepared by the solvent evaporation or solvent extraction technique. The composition used as dry syrups maintain bioavailability of the drug and effectively mask the taste of the drug when the composition is reconstituted.
