Abstract: Apparatus for permanent placement across an ostium of a left atrial appendage in a patient, which includes a filtering membrane configured to extend across the ostium of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane has a permeable structure which allows blood to flow through but substantially inhibits thrombus from passing therethrough. The apparatus also includes a support structure attached to the filtering membrane which retains the filtering membrane in position across the ostium of the left atrial appendage by permanently engaging a portion of the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The support structure may be radially expandable from a first configuration to a second configuration which engages the ostium or the interior wall of the left atrial appendage. The filtering membrane may define an opening therethrough that is configured to expand from a first size which inhibits the passage of thrombus therethrough to a second size which allows an interventional device, e.g., an expansion balloon, to pass therethrough, and wherein the opening is resiliently biased towards the first size.

Production of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate involves esterification of acrylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. The esterification produces a reaction mixture (B1) comprising 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexanol, acrylic acid, 2-ethylhexyl acid sulfate, traces of sulfuric acid and impurities. The mixture (B1) is water washed in a column enabling separation of an organic phase at the head and elimination of an aqueous phase at the foot. The organic phase is directed to a heading column from which acrylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol can be recycled to the esterification reaction, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate from the base directed to another distillation column and headed off free from heavy products. The aqueous phase is directed to a hydrolysis stage to hydrolyse the acid sulfate, the acid species resulting being neutralized with a base. The resulting aqueous phase passes to a distillation column to separate off remaining 2-ethylhexanol which is recycled to the reaction.

Abstract: Missing-pixel interpolation data are obtained such that the mean value of a plurality of pixels constituting a group of pixels including a missing pixel is equal to the mean value of a plurality of pixels constituting a group of pixels not including the missing pixel. For example, missing-pixel interpolation data are obtained by (1) obtaining a sum (SL) of the values of pixels other than the missing pixel (L) in the k pixels constituting the group (LC) of pixels including the missing pixel, (2) obtaining a sum (SA) of the values of k pixels constituting a group (NA) of pixels not including the missing pixel, and (3) taking the difference between these sums. This makes it possible to reduce interpolation error when a highly periodic image with missing pixels is interpolated.
