Abstract: An external incontinence clamp for stopping involuntary voiding of urine is provided. The clamp includes a first rigid member having opposed ends, each end defining a passage extending therethrough, a second rigid member having opposed ends, each end defining a passage extending therethrough, and two pins of generally u-shape. The pins are adapted to be received by the passages defined by the ends of the first rigid member and of the second rigid member so as to secure the first rigid member in a spaced and generally parallel relationship to the second rigid member. The penis is positioned between the first and second members so that the underside of the penis is in contact with the second member and the top surface of the penis is in contact with the first member, thereby stopping involuntary voiding of urine.

Title: Screen for pre-eclampsia
Inventor: SAVVIDOU MAKRINA
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 2004-04-19
Granted: 2013-01-22
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that the level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) increases in women that subsequently develop pre-eclampsia or whose fetus subsequently develops intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and that ADMA  plays a key role in the development of maternal hypertension. Accordingly, the level of ADMA in a pregnant woman can be used to determine whether or not a pregnant woman is at risk of developing pre-eclampsia or whether or not a fetus is at risk of developing IUGR. Furthermore, antagonists of ADMA activity are useful in the inhibition or prevention of pre-eclampsia or inhibition or prevention of IUGR.

Abstract: A process for the production of hydrocarbons is described comprising; a) subjecting a mixture of a hydrocarbon feedstock and steam to catalytic steam reforming to form a partially reformed gas, b) subjecting the partially reformed gas to partial combustion with an oxygen-containing gas and bringing the resultant partially combusted gas towards equilibrium over a steam reforming catalyst to form a reformed gas mixture, c) cooling the reformed gas mixture to below the dew point of the steam therein to condense water and separating condensed water to give a de-watered synthesis gas, d) synthesising hydrocarbons from said de-watered synthesis gas by the Fischer-Tropsch reaction and e) separating the hydrocarbons from co-produced water, characterised in that at least part of said co-produced water is fed to a saturator wherein it is contacted with hydrocarbon feedstock to provide at least part of the mixture of hydrocarbon feedstock and steam subjected to steam reforming. By using the co-produced water to produce steam, the efficiency of the overall process is improved and the necessity for separation of contaminants in the co-produced water is reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: A disposable wig comprises a base 1 formed of an extremely thin sheet, hair segments 3 implanted onto the base and an adhesive layer 7 formed on the underside of the base. The thickness of the base is of the order of microns( u). The adhesive layer is uniformly formed on the entire underside of the base with such a thickness that there is a little unevenness with projected portions 9 and remaining portions. The projected portions engaging the root portions of the implanted hair segments protruding from the underside of the base, and are raised toward the surface side of the base when the wig is fitted onto a human skin.  When the wig is fitted onto scalp 13, the unevenness at the underside of the base is depressed and raised by the surface of the scalp so that, at the base surface, the projected portions engaging the root portions of the implanted hair segments are raised when compared with the remaining portions. Accordingly, light that hits the base is irregularly reflected so that the wig becomes hard to be distinguished from true hair. The implanted hair segments are depressed by the scalp toward the surface side of the base, which reinforces the fixing of the implanted hair segments and prevent the implanted hair segments from being removed or epilated from the base.

Title: Hydrocarbon recovery from impermeable oil shales
Inventor: KAMINSKY ROBERT D
IPC: E21B43/26

Granted: 2012-09-11
Abstract: An economic method for in situ maturing and production of oil shale or other deep-lying, impermeable resources containing immobile hydrocarbons. Vertical fractures are created using horizontal or vertical wells. The same or other wells are used to inject pressurized fluids heated to less than approximately 370~ C, and to return the cooled fluid for reheating and recycling. The heat transferred to the oil shale gradually matures the kerogen to oil and gas as the temperature in the shale is brought up, and also promotes permeability within the shale in the form of small fractures sufficient to allow the shale to flow into the well fractures where the product is collected commingled with the heating fluid and separated out before the heating fluid is recycled.

Filed: 2006-04-25
Granted: 2011-07-05
Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly for use in vertical, gravity flow driven polymerization reactors for combinations of high viscosity, high throughput, and shallow polymer depths. The baffle assembly module of the invention includes a support structure having a plurality of side openings.  The side openings allow the escape of vapor liberated from the polymeric melt.  The assembly further includes a feed splitter followed by two or more vertically arranged rows of baffle plates with the feed splitter and baffles sequentially positioned in the support structure. The plurality of parallel baffles in a row are angled such that when a polymeric melt contacts a given baffle the polymeric melt moves in a downward direction under the force of gravity. The arrangement of the rows is such that each row (except the lowest row) transfers the polymeric melt to a lower vertically adjacent row until reaching the last row of baffles in the module. According to the vertical arrangement of the components in the baffle assembly module and by stacking additional baffle assembly modules if needed within the reactor, the polymeric melt cascades down the vertical length of the reaction vessel interior. The present invention also provides a polymerization reactor that incorporates the assembly of the invention and a method of increasing the degree of polymerization of a polymer melt by using the assembly of the invention.

The mesh network includes a plurality of MAPs (402a,...402n).  The MAPs (402a,...402n) send backhaul link information (416) regarding backhaul connections between each MAP (402a) and any interconnections in a mesh network to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) (404). The WTRU then determines a performance value with respect to the MAPs based on the backhaul link information (418) and selects one of the MAPs to associate with based on the performance value (420). The WTRU may send information about interconnection needs of the WTRU to the MAPs (412), and the MAPs may generate the backhaul link information based on the interconnection needs of the WTRU  (414).
