Abstract: At a beamformer with at least two acoustical/electrical converters (M1, M2) the outputs (A1, A2) thereof are op-erationally connected to a beamformer unit (12). There signals dependent on signals (S1, S2) arising at said outputs (A1, A2) are co-processed to result in a beamformer output signal (S a) dependent on both output signals of the converters. Frequency roll-off of the output signal (S a) is counteracted by establishing a gain mismatch (10) of the two gains between the acoustical input signal (A) on one hand and the inputs to unit (12).

Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid test sample by applying the fluid test sample to the surface of a work- ing electrode which is electrochemically connected to a reference electrode which surface bears a composition comprising an enzyme specific for the analyte. A media- tor is reduced in response to a reaction between the ana- lyte and the enzyme. An oxidizing potential is applied between the electrodes to return at least a portion of the mediator back to its oxidized form before determining the concentration of the analyte to thereby increase the accuracy of the analyte determination. Following this initially applied potential, the circuit is switched to an open circuit or to a potential that substantially re- duces the current to minimize the rate of electrochemical potential at the working electrode. A second potential is applied between the electrodes and the current gener- ated in the fluid test sample is measured to determine analyte concentration. Optionally, the accuracy of the analyte determination is further enhanced algorithmi- cally.

Abstract: Une conception d'antenne pour un outil de diagraphie de fond de résonance magnétique nucléaire est améliorée afin de former le champ RF résultant généré par l'antenne. L'amélioration est accomplie en ajoutant des spires supplémentaires à une partie de l'antenne, soit en encerclant un matériau ferritique ou localisé à la surface d'un matériau au moins partiellement non conducteur. Les spires supplémentaires sont des demi-spires en combinaison avec le champ FR des parties d'antennes parallèles résultant en une contribution de champ RF qui est proportionnellement supérieure à la contribution de champ RF des parties de tour qui ne sont pas améliorées. En outre, le champ total RF peut être formé au-dessus d'une région d'échantillon de terre en fonction de la mise en place des spires d'amélioration. Ainsi, par exemple, le champ total RF peut être généré pour parvenir à un alignement orthogonal avec un champ magnétique statique sur une région plus importante de l'échantillon.

Abstract: A physically intermixed catalyst system comprising two distinctly different catalytic particles, the first of which is a hydrodenitrification and/or hydrodesulfurization catalyst and the second of which is a relatively active hydrocracking catalyst wherein the catalyst particles of both catalytic components are substantially the same size, that is the effective diameter of each catalyst component is substantially the same. The catalyst system of the present invention can be layered with unmixed catalysts. The novel systems of the present invention have been found to provide surprisingly good selectivity for liquid products and stability against catalyst fouling when used in combined hydrotreating and hydrocracking applications, and can therefore be used to provide a stable catalyst system which offers even heat distribution and reactor control in such applications.

Abstract: A lancing device includes a lancing mechanism, a floating probe and a pressure tip. The lancing mechanism includes a lancet carriage, a lancet holder slidably connected to the lancet carriage, and a lancet attached to the lancet holder. The pressure tip of the lancing device is configured for engaging a target site and creating a target site bulge. The floating probe is adapted to floatably contact the target site bulge and to operatively interact with the lance carriage to control a penetration depth of the lancet into the target site bulge. A method for lancing a target site includes providing the lancing device describe above and contacting the pressure tip of the lancing device with the target site. The pressure tip is then urged towards the target site to create a target site bulge with the floating probe of the lancing device floating on a surface of the target site bulge. Next, the target site bulge is lanced while the floating probe operatively interacts with the lance carriage to control a penetration depth of the lancet.
