A device for communicating with other devices to allow them to access applications, comprises: at least a first application; authentication means for authenticating a communicating device; and access control means accessible by a communicating device requesting access to the first application without the communicating device having been authenticated by the authentication means. The device is further arranged to arbitrate whether access of the communicating device to the first application is granted or refused wherein if the arbitration requires an authentication of the communicating device, the access control means instructs the authentication means to authenticate the communicating device.

Security architecture

A Bluetooth radio transceiver, for receiving isochronous data, comprising: receiving means for receiving data; determining mean for determining whether the received data has been correctly or incorrectly received; validation means for determining whether the received data is current; and transmission means, for transmitting, in response to received data, a positive acknowledgement of reception when the received data has been correctly received, a negative acknowledgement when the received data has been incorrectly received and the received data is current and a positive acknowledgement when the received data has been incorrectly received and the received data is not current. The determination of whether data is current occurs at the receiver as opposed to the transmitter.

Receiver controlled isochronous transmission

A transceiver for operating in a network wherein the transceiver is arranged to synchronize to a time reference common to the network having distinguishable instances, the transceiver containing a controller for effecting the reading or writing of a real time clock at an identified instance of the common time reference; a transmitter for transmitting an identification of the real time clock value of a first instance and an identification of the first instance, and a receiver for receiving a transmitted identification of a real time clock value and an identification of a first instance.

Device synchronisation over a network

For the preparation of predominantly unbranched higher primary alcohols, olefins from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are reacted with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of water and a catalyst which is rhodium, in metallic form or as a compound, and a water-soluble phosphine. The reaction product obtained is hydrogenated. The water-soluble phosphines employed are compounds whose anion is a phosphine containing at least one sulfonated or carboxylated aromatic radical and whose cation is a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium ion.

A process for separating off phosphine oxides and alkylarylphosphines from an organic reaction mixture of a homogeneous hydroformylation carried out with the use of a catalyst system, which reaction mixture contains organometallic complex compounds and, in a molar excess, ammonium salts of aromatic phosphines as ligands comprising subjecting the organic reaction mixture to an extraction treatment with a 0.001-0.5% strength by weight of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution and separating off the aqueous phase containing the phosphine oxides and alkylarylphosphines to decrease markedly the concentration of the phosphine oxides and alkylarylphosphines in the hydroformylation mixture, which process is particularly suitable for continuously operated hydroformylations.

Substituted diphosphines and a process for their preparation

A process for preparing aldehydes comprising hydroformylating olefinically unsaturated compounds with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in a homogeneous phase in the presence of a catalyst system comprising rhodium complex compounds and aromatic phosphines in a molar excess and separating off the catalyst system from the hydroformylation reaction mixture by pressure filtration on a semipermeable membrane of an aromatic polyamide by carrying out the hydroformylation at a pH of 2.5 to 4.3 using a molar ratio of phosphine:rhodium of at least 60 and at a rhodium concentration of at least 10 ppm by weight, based on the olefinically unsaturated compound used, and using, as aromatic phosphines, special alkylammonium and/or arylammonium salts of sulfonated or carboxylated triarylphosphines which process leads to excellent activities and selectivities in the hydroformylation step itself and also to high retention values in the membrane filtration step.

Mixtures of isomeric decyl alcohols obtained by oligomerization of propylene in the presence of deactivated zeolites as catalysts, followed by separation of the nine carbon olefins from the oligomer mixture, then hydroformylation of the 9 carbon olefins to 10 carbon aldehydes, and hydrogenation of the aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols. The mixtures, when esterified with phthalic acid, or anhydride, provide a mixture of isomeric di-decyl phthalates that can be used as plasticizers.
