Title: Process for the production of percarboxylic acid
Inventor: MUSTONEN EVA-LIISA
IPC: C07C409/24
Filed: 2002-04-03
Abstract: The conventional process for the production of a peracetic acid product, wherein hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and water are fed into an aqueous reaction medium containing hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, peracetic acid and an acid catalyst, wherein hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid react in the presence of the acid catalyst and form peracetic acid, and an aqueous peracetic acid concentrate is removed con-tinuously from the reaction medium by distillation, has now been improved by feed-ing the acid catalyst continuously into the reaction medium and by withdrawing continuously a portion of the reaction medium as a bottom product. When the through flow of the reaction medium is thus increased, it is purified of impurities threatening the safety of the process. If the amount of acid catalyst in the reaction medium is further decreased, a product suitable, for example, for disinfection is ob-tained from the bottom product.

Abstract: Une pompe actionnée par un moteur électrique submersible a une chambre de moteur et une chambre de pompe séparées par une chambre d'étanchéité. Des boîtes d'étanchéité interne et externe (MS1, MS2) immergées dans un fluide tampon d'huile à l'intérieur de la chambre d'étanchéité limitent l'écoulement du liquide de la chambre d'étanchéité dans les chambres de la pompe et du moteur. Un réservoir de fluide tampon pré-pressurisé monté à l'extérieur ou formant une seule pièce (PA) maintient une pression de fluide positive dans la chambre d'étanchéité par rapport à la pression externe au niveau de la hauteur utile et maintient un niveau de fluide tampon approprié à l'intérieur de la chambre d'étanchéité, en vue d'empêcher l'entrée de la matière pompée par la boîte d'étanchéité externe (MS2). Un modèle de turbine unique (631) fait circuler le fluide à l'intérieur de la chambre d'étanchéité dans la zone de la boîte d'étanchéité externe (MS2), ce qui permet une opération de fonctionnement à sec continu, lorsqu'on utilise ledit modèle de turbine avec un modèle de moteur à refroidissement intégral. Un sous-ensemble de chemise d'arbre de cartouche doté d'un palier (3) situé entre les joints interne et externe, facilite la maintenance.

Title: Medicinal implant and device and method for loading and delivering implants containing drugs and cells
Inventor: TENHUISEN KEVOR S
IPC: A61M5/28
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: A system for injecting controlled release medicinal implants has a syringe-like injector body with a lumen and plunger. A needle is attached to the injector body and receives therein an injectable implant with an internal hollow. The implant is retained in the needle by friction, which is overcome by the plunger upon dispensing. As the plunger moves from the retracted position to the deployed position, it forces a medicament previously loaded into the injector body into the implant hollow and then pushes the implant out of the needle into the creature into which the needle has been inserted. The implant may contain a filler to absorb flowable medicaments to aid in their retention within the implant. As in known implants, the medicament is released gradually depending upon the dissolution rate of the implant body which is formed from a biodegradable material. Because the medicament is loaded into the implant at the time of injection, issues concerning the reaction of the medicament with the implant material during preparation and storage are eliminated.

Title: Mcs selection in downlink shared channel transmission
Inventor: HIRAMATSU KATSUHIKO
IPC: H04W52/04
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: A base station transmits downlink signals to mobile terminals of users A to C with respective transmission power corresponding to downlink quality. A downlink quality estimating section (106) uses the transmission power from a transmission power control section to compare transmission power between the users, and estimates that a terminal with low transmission power has high downlink quality. The priorities are determined so that the priority is increased as the transmission power is lower. Thus determined priority information is output to a scheduling section (107). The scheduling section (107) performs scheduling based on the priority information. The section (107) assigns DSCH to terminals in ascending order of transmission power. User A is first assigned DSCH, user B is second assigned DSCH, and user C is third assigned DSCH. It is thus possible to perform scheduling and MCS selection of DSCH with the need of information from a terminal eliminated. <IMAGE>

Title: Slurry hydrocarbon synthesis with fresh catalyst activity increase during hydrocarbon production
Inventor: MART CHARLES JOHN
IPC: B01J23/94
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: Fresh catalyst particles are added to a slurry hydrocarbon synthesis reactor and their activity increased by contact with hydrogen in-situ in the slurry in a catalyst activity increasing means, while the reactor is producing hydrocarbons. The means may be a simple, vertically oriented and hollow tube, open at the top and bottom, into which slurry and a hydrogen treat gas are passed. The treat gas acts a a lift which provides slurry circulation into and out of the means and back into the slurry body, while increasing the activity of the catalyst particles. During the activity increase of the fresh catalyst, partially and reversibly activated catalyst particles are rejuvenated. The activity increasing means may be inside the reactor and at least partially immersed in the slurry or external of the reactor, or both.

Abstract: An energy efficient method and apparatus for manufacturing a biodegradable, compostable, liquid-impermeable lined paper bag for containing wet (i.e. food) wastes by which all adhesives used in the process are cold glues applied without using heat and are applied through an extrusion and/or metering application means. Cellulose film is advantageously used for the paper liner and a dot matrix configuration of adhesive is applied between the cellulose and paper layers to laminate them together. The matrix-defined size of spacings between the points of application of adhesive on the cellulose film is such that both loss of the permeability of the cellulose film to water vapour and oxygen and creation of stress points on the cellulose film are minimized. A second cold glue is applied to the bag bottom section by a matrix of extrusion adhesive guns and programmable controller for activating the guns whereby the guns are activated according to a program of the controller for applying the second adhesive to pre-determined, programmable areas of the bag bottom section.
