Title: Electrosurgical system for reducing/removing eschar accumulations on electrosurgical instruments
Inventor: HEIM WARREN PAUL
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1998-10-05
Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: An electrosurgical system is disclosed that applies electrical energy to obtain a pre-determined surgical effect, while also reduc-ing eschar deposits on a working surface of an electrosurgical instrument (4), producing an eschar deposit which is easily removed from the working surface, and/or facilitating removal of eschar deposits during a cleaning procedure. Such benefits may be realized by providing a negative bias on the working sur-face relative to a return path (7) to source (1) during electrosurgical procedures, and/or dur-ing a cleaning procedure which may include contacting the working surface with an elec-trically conductive liquid.

Title: Method and apparatus for dispensing small amounts of liquid material
Inventor: MESSERLY JAMES W
IPC: G01F13/00
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for dispensing droplets of liquid or viscous material. The apparatus generally comprises a valve operated dispenser (10) and a control (128', 129) for moving the valve member (42') with respect to a valve seat (38') in rapid succession. This rapidly accelerates liquid or viscous material in a stream from the dispenser outlet and immediately breaks the stream into a minute droplet. Various embodiments of the valve seat (38') include both rigid valve seats and resilient valve seats. Resilient valve seats are especially useful for dispensing solder pastes as they can prevent material flaking, compacting and clogging conditions. Low friction polymer or plastic material for dispenser components such as the valve member (42') and outlet structure (40') can also prevent such problems.

Abstract: In a group of rolls for a calender for processing material webs, comprising at least two rolls each having a roll body made of a cast or forged iron material, at least one of the roll bodies consists of chilled cast iron or shell-chilled cast iron. One or more rolls may have a cover of a resilient material, such as a polymeric plastic. Although it is possible for the outer diameters of the rolls to differ, the sag of the rolls when they are supported only in their rolling-contact bearings is substantially equal. In order to produce appropriate rolls, following the essential machining steps of the roll bodies, that is to say, for example, following casting, following preliminary turning, following preliminary boring and, if appropriate, following the introduction of peripheral bores, the actual mean modulus of elasticity of the entire roll body is measured and, as a function of this, in particular the inner diameters of the central bores are produced. In addition, methods for influencing the sag of the rolls in a deliberate way, by selecting appropriate materials, the relationships of material structures in the roll body or by means of the deliberate introduction of ballast into the central bore or else into separate peripheral bores in the roll bodies, are described.

Abstract: An architectural paint color display system comprises a plurality of display s each having a two dimensional array of architectural paint color samples showing paint colors from only on e of a plurality of non-overlapping contiguous portions of a color space. Each of such color space portions is defined as the space of all colors within a band of hues within the color space. Each of said color space portions is exclusively represented by one of the displays, and each of the displays represents only one of said color space portions, such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between displays and color space portions. The paint color samples have in one dimension of the arrays an increasing value and in the other dimension of the arrays an increasing chroma. The displays are preferably arranged in a three-row or six-row matrix. Each row of the matrix displays color space portions in the same sequence that such portions appear in the color space. Advantageously, each column of displays within the matrix shows color space portions that are generally split-complementary or five-way harmonious .

Abstract: A region of skin, other than the fingertips, is stimulated. After stimulation, an opening is created in the skin (e.g., by lancing the skin) to cause a flow of body fluid from the region. At least a portion of this body fluid is transported to a testing device where the concentration of analyte (e.g., glucose) in the body fluid is then determined. It is found that the stimulation of the skin provides results that are generally closer to the results of measurements from the fingertips, the traditional site for obtaining body fluid for analyte testing.

Title: Rf communication with downhole equipment
Inventor: LAYTON JAMES E
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2001-07-16
Granted: 2004-12-28
Abstract: Data or control signals are communicated over a three phase power cable supplying power from a surface location to a motor/pump assembly located within a wellbore utilizing modulated radio frequency signals. The radio frequency signals may be impressed on the power cable through physical taps to the power cable conductors or by reactive coupling to the power cable. The transmission frequency is selected from a range of frequencies which propagate through the motor windings and up the power cable with sufficient amplitude to be received and processed. The modulated RF signal may be transmitted concurrently with the three phase power on the power cable, and simultaneous bidirectional communications between the surface and downhole locations may be supported utilizing, for example, discrete frequencies for transmission in different directions. A network of RF transceivers or nodes may be situated at various locations along the wellbore and the motor/pump assembly to gather information about conditions at different points (e.g., below the motor/pump assembly, above the motor/pump assembly, and at the wellhead of a subsea borehole), with transmission on the power cable shared among the nodes through a spread spectrum and/or multiple access protocol.

Title: Enzymatic improvement of pasta processing
Inventor: BROWN PETER HARRIS
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 2002-01-09
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: An enzymatically treated pasta dough having superior workability and machinability is prepared by treating pasta dough with an enzyme system consisting essentially of one or more pentosanase enzymes which are essentially free of both proteolytic and amylase activities. The enzymatically treated pasta dough has significantly reduced viscosity as compared to a similar pasta dough which has not been enzymatically treated by the process of this invention. The reduced viscosity of the pasta dough allows significantly reduced head pressures and/or significantly higher throughputs in commercial pasta extrusion systems.
