Abstract: A ship is divided into plural watertight zones. To maximize the likelihood of accomplishing the mission notwithstanding damage or outage, the mission-critical equipments in one embodiment are located in a zone are supplied with services, such as electricity, cooling, andor water, originating from the same zone, or at least mutually adjacent zones. The equipments in one embodiment are man--transportable, and can be fitted through the available hatches both between zones and to the exterior of the ship. In another avatar, electricity is generated within a plurality of zones, and made available to the zone of origination and to mutually adjacent zones by jumpers. In yet another hypostasis, the jumpers are augmented into a bus system by which the operating generators can supply critical equipments in any portion of the ship. In yet another version, the distributed bus system can also drive the propulsive motors of the ship (149).

Patent CA-2354769-C (CA)
Title: Syringe pumps
Inventor: TRIBE ROBERT JAMES
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 2001-08-07
Granted: 2009-02-10
Abstract: Conventional syringe pumps have a motor rotating a leadscrew, which drives a plunger head retainer to push a plunger along the barrel of a syringe so as to dispense medication to a patient. A force sensor in the head retainer measures the force on the plunger to detect when there is an occlusion restricting flow of medication and sounds an alarm. In the present invention, the motor is reversed to reduce the force to about 10% of that at which the occlusion is detected. The occlusion can be removed with a reduced risk of a bolus of medication being dispensed after which the user restarts the pump so that the plunger is driven normally.

Abstract: A method (Fig. 1) is provided for predicting a value of a designated rock or fluid property in a subterranean geologic volume (10). An experimentally determined seismic value of acoustic impedance is assigned to a model volume correlated to the subterranean geologic volume (10). At first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is also assigned to the model volume.   A first predicted value of acoustic impedance for the model volume is calculated from a response model using the first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the response model is responsive to changes in predicted values of the designated rock or fluid property. The first predicted value of acoustic impedance is compared to the seismic value of acoustic impedance to determine a difference between the predicted and seismic values of acoustic impedance. The first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is adjusted in response to the difference to create a second predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the second predicted value reduces the difference.

Abstract: A method of adhering a first material to a second material, which utilizes an anchoring adhesive applied to one or both of the materials as a plurality of isolated adhesive anchors having interstitial spaces between them, forming improved bonding sites for a bonding adhesive which is used to adhere the materials together. In the preferred embodiment the anchoring adhesive may be applied by a process similar to silk screening, whereby a mask or screen defines a plurality of adhesive- impervious portions which create the interstitial spaces and adhesive-pervious portions which allow adhesive to pass through the screen to create the adhesive anchors. The bonding adhesive is applied to the material over the cured adhesive anchors, which serve as high-adhesion bonding sites for the bonding adhesive. The application of anchors on one or both substrate surfaces provides for a compatible interface for the adhesive so as to preserve the inherent rigidity or flexibility of the substrates while maximizing adhesion between the materials.
