Title: Fluid treatment system
Inventor: TRAUBENBERG GEORGE
IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 2007-08-17
Granted: 2014-07-22
Abstract: There is described a fluid treatment system. The fluid treatment system comprises: an open channel for receiving a flow of fluid and a fluid treatment zone. The fluid treatment zone comprising a plurality of elongate radiation source assemblies orientated such that: (i) a longitudinal axis of each radiation source assembly is transverse to a direction of fluid flow through the fluid treatment zone, and (ii) an end of each radiation source assembly is disposed above a predetermined maximum height of fluid flow in the open channel. A first baffle plate is disposed upstream of the fluid treatment zone. The first baffle plate is positioned such that a distal end thereof is below the predetermined maximum height of fluid flow in the open channel. In a preferred embodiment, the present fluid treatment system provides for an area in which a cleaning system for the radiation source assemblies can be "parked" when not in use. In the so- called "parked" position, the cleaning system may be readily accessed for servicing and the like without affecting the flow of fluid through the fluid treatment zone and a fluid treatment system. This is as significant advantage of the fluid treatment system.

Abstract: The anti-obesity diverter structure includes a laminate structure having papilla- supplied and pylorus-supplied surfaces. The laminate structure is sized to fit longitudinally within a duodenum such that a transverse clearance is provided between the papilla-supplied surface and papilla of Vater. The laminate structure is secured within the duodenum to define papilla-supplied and pylorus-supplied lumens therein. The papilla-supplied lumen receives the digestive fluid from the papilla of Vater, and provides a conduit for the digestive fluid therein. The pylorus-supplied lumen receives the chyme from the pylorus and provides a conduit for the chyme therein. The laminate structure is impervious or semi-permeable to the chyme and digestive fluid.

Title: Method of compressing digital images
Inventor: HU XIAOPING
IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 2002-02-18
Granted: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A method of compressing digital representations of images stores the images in multiple subsampling quality scales in a progressive manner such that a higher quality scale contains only data incremental to the data in an adjacent lower quality scale. The data in each quality scale is transformed, quantized, and entropy encoded. A discrete wavelet cosine transformation combining frequency transformation features of a discrete cosine transformation and spatial transformation features of a wavelet transformation is provided. Sequences of subsampling quality scales are provided for multi-scale representations of images. A novel context selection method is used which treats color components and coefficients of different positions differently. An image compressed in a given quality scale can be transmitted or decompressed progressively allowing progressive downloading or transmission over the Internet.

Abstract: A rapidly rotating agglomerator is disclosed and claimed for processing feedstocks of oil sand slurries, oil sand middlings, oil sand fluid tailings or oil sand emulsions to increase bitumen particles size of the feedstock before the agglomerated feedstock is separated by a revolving oleophilic apertured screen formed from adjacent endless cable wraps. The apertured cylindrical wall of the agglomerator is constructed from adjacent metal hoops that are welded at the inside diameter to strong metal cross bars that are attached to agglomerator end walls to provide a rigid and strong agglomerator. A central core may be used to further increase the rigidity of the agglomerator Oleophilic cable wraps are positioned between sequential hoops of the agglomerator and continuously revolve between separation zone and bitumen removal zone. Feedstock separation by the methods and apparatus of the present invention is about an order of magnitude faster than separation by bitumen froth flotation and the bitumen product is of superior quality. Agglomerator scale up calculations are introduced for determining the size of agglomerators for commercial equipment.
