A passive element memory array preferably biases selected X-lines to an externally received VPP voltage and selected Y-lines to ground. Unselected Y-lines are preferably biased to VPP minus a first offset voltage, and unselected X-lines biased to a second offset voltage (relative to ground). The first and second offset voltages preferably are identical and have a value of about 0.5 to 2 volts. The VPP voltage depends upon the memory cell technology used, and preferably falls within the range of 5 to 20 volts. The area otherwise required for an on-chip VPP generator and saves the power that would be consumed by such a generator. In addition, the operating temperature of the integrated circuit during the programming operation decreases, which further decreases power dissipation. When discharging the memory array, the capacitance between layers is preferably discharged first, then the layers are discharged to ground.

A method for servicing a vehicle air-conditioning system operated with a closed coolant circulation system, in which in a first servicing phase, a circulation mixture of refrigerant, compressor oil and, if appropriate, further mixture components is sucked out from a vehicle air-conditioning system into a separator stage by means of a compressor via a separator and in the process refrigerant is separated from the sucked-out circulation mixture by means of the separator, compressed and collected, and its quantity is determined. In a second servicing phase, the refrigerant circulation system of the vehicle air-conditioning system is largely emptied of residual content by means of a vacuum pump. The residual gases which are pumped out in the second servicing phase are conducted through the separator stage by means of the compressor, and the quantity of residual refrigerant collected in the process is determined.

A highly pure and colorless tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) possessing melting point in the range of 178-182° C. is prepared in yields of 50-70% in first batch and 90-100% when the spent organic layer is recycled. In this method, the corrosive liquid bromine is displaced by sodium bromide / hydrobromic acid as brominating agent. Further, sodium bromate is used as an oxidizing as well as brominating agent to utilize the hydrobromic acid that is produced during the bromination of bisphenol-A (BPA). The reaction is conducted at 10-15° C. in a mixture of methylene chloride-water or carbon tetrachloride-water in the presence of hydrochloric acid and sodium lauryl sulfate. The crystalline product settled at the bottom of the reaction vessel is filtered, washed, dried and weighed. The spent organic layer is recycled in subsequent batches to maximize the overall yield of product recovered directly as solid and to minimize generation of organic effluent.
