Abstract: There is a need to enhance the bleaching effect achieved when bleaching mechanical and chemithermomechanical pulp with a reductive bleaching agent. This can be achieved with the present invention, which relates to a method for manufacturing bleached mechanical and chemithermomechanical pulp including that lignocellulose material, preferabl y wood in chip form, is caused to pass through at least one preheater or through a chemical treatment system, a steam separator and a refiner where the lignocellulose material is converted into a pulp suspension which, after steam separation, is passed at least to a storage vessel (latency chest) and to a screening department, from which the major part of the pulp suspension is taken out as a substantially finish ed product or is taken out and passed to further treatment steps. The reductive bleaching agent is added to the advancing pulp suspension without the use of a bleaching tower or the like. The method is characterized by adding the bleaching agent at a location downstream of t he refiner and upstream of the screening department, and by bleaching the pulp under the given drastic condition from the aspect of temperature and the given minimized oxygen access at said location and immediately downstream of said location.

Title: Method for feeding solid material into a reaction space, wherein solid material is consumed in the reaction
Inventor: HAAVISTO ILKKA
IPC: B01J4/00
Filed: 2000-08-24
Granted: 2009-10-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for feeding solids (8) into a reaction space (2), which solids are prevented from leaving in the form of a solid substance. The method comprises feeding solids such that the pressure (F1) they exert on the walls of the reaction space (2) or the walls of the feed duct (9) leading to the reaction space is constant, while the reaction space is being supplied with a substance (6) which reacts with the solids and results in the conversion of the solids into non-solid reaction products.  The counter-pressure (F) exerted by the walls of the reaction space or the walls of the feed duct leading to the reaction space then decreases and solids are impelled into the reaction space at the same rate as they are consumed during the reaction.

Title: Surgical clip applier
Inventor: PETERS STEPHEN F
IPC: A61B17/128
Filed: 2001-02-02
Granted: 2009-04-07
Abstract: A surgical clip applier (10) for application of surgical clips (12) to body tissue is disclosed. The clip applier includes an elongated housing (18) having proximate (20) and distal (22) ends. This housing also defines a feed surface for the surgical clips.  The clip applier also includes first and second jaws (30) extending from the distal end of the housing. The jaws open and close to apply the surgical clips to the body tissue of the patient. A driver (64) is disposed within the housing to advance the surgical clips from the feed surface (28) to the jaws. The clip applier of the present invention incorporates a backing surface (70) extending from the distal end of the housing and extending along the jaws. Accordingly, the backing surface bears against the jaws by constantly applying a force such that the housing is always pre-loaded against the jaws.  As such, the jaws are maintained in proper alignment with the feed surface and the surgical clips can be advanced from the feed surface to the jaws without a misfeed.

Title: Conduction heating aided drainage process for the recovery of heavy oil and bitumen
Inventor: DAS SWAPAN
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2003-02-17
Granted: 2008-05-06
Abstract: A process for the recovery of viscous hydrocarbons from a subterranean hydrocarbon bearing reservoir or formation includes the step of transmitting heat into the reservoir by closed loop circulation of a hot fluid heat transfer medium through slanted wells (up-dip or down-dip) placed inside the reservoir, thus indirectly heating the reservoir matrix and thereby causing a significant viscosity reduction in the reservoir fluids viz. heavy oil and bitumen, which drain by gravity to the flow conduit in the slanted well. This oil and bitumen flows through and along the slanted well to the heel (for the up- dip well) or to the toe (for the down-dip well) or to a vertical or horizontal producer hole drilled near the toe of the down-dip slanted well. As the heavy oil and bitumen comes in contact with the high temperature closed loop heating in the slanted well, lighter components of the heavy oil and bitumen are vaporized. These vaporised lighter components move into the colder section of the reservoir and are capable of causing viscosity reduction when redissolved in the heavy oil and bitumen. This provides an additional benefit of solvent dilution effect in the drainage process. Vaporized lighter components (as described above) and vaporized connate water create a convection current in the reservoir matrix and increase the heat transfer which in turn enhances the extraction rate. The accumulated oil at the heel or toe of the slanted well or at the vertical or horizontal producer well is produced to the surface using either natural or artificial lifts.

Abstract: A method of mounting a member such as a rail to a support surface such as a floor, made of a precast concrete material, without penetrating the floor. The rail mounting system for implementation of the novel method includes a base plate secured to the upper surface of the floor via an adhesive, with one or more connectors extending upwardly from the base plate. An anchor plate is secured to the rail, and adjustment screws are interconnected with the rail for adjusting the elevation of the rail relative to the base plate. When the desired elevation of the rail is attained, engagement members such as nuts are secured to the threaded connectors extending upwardly from the base plate, to fix the height of the anchor plate, and thereby the rail. A grout layer is then applied between the plate and the anchor plate. After the grout layer is set, the leveling screws are removed and a topping layer of concrete is applied over the components of the mounting system so as to encapsulate the base plate, the anchor plate and the engagement members.

Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: An adaptive and dynamic forward error correction scheme for a communication channel is disclosed. The method and apparatus calculates (206) the actual b it error rate for comparison (207) with a target bit error rate. When a channel is performing better than required by the performance specification, the forward error correction power can be reduced (214) to provide greater throughput. If the calculated actual bit error rate is greater than the targ et bit error rate, then the forward error correction power is increased (219) i n an attempt to lower the calculated bit error rate. A feedback loop is employ ed to continually calculate received bit error rates as the forward error correction power is increased or decreased.
