Title: System and method for illumination attenuation
Inventor: HUCULAK JOHN C
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2007-11-14
Granted: 2016-05-10
Abstract: Generally speaking, the output brightness of an illuminator is varied by chopping an output light beam such that the beam is alternately interrupted and unhindered. An interrupter can be rapidly moved into and out of the transmission path of a light beam. The brightness of the light beam received at a site will be attenuated based on the amount of time per cycle the light beam remains obstructed versus unhindered.
Patent CA-2613958-C (CA)

Granted: 2014-08-05
Abstract: A stentless support structure capable of being at least partly assembled in situ. The support structure comprises a braided tube that is very flexible and, when elongated, becomes very long and very small in diameter, thereby being capable of placement within a small diameter catheter. The support structure is preferably constructed of one or more thin strands of a super-elastic or shape memory material such as Nitinol. When released from the catheter, the support structure folds itself into a longitudinally compact configuration. The support structure thus gains significant strength as the number of folds increase. This radial strength obviates the need for a support stent. The support structure may include attachment points for a prosthetic valve.

Abstract: A method to exploit the glycerin obtained as a by-product of the industrial process to produce biodiesel inside or out of the industrial production unit, providing a reduction in the environmental liability that may be caused by an excess in the production of glycerin that cannot be exploited for industrial use. The referenced method uses recycling of the glycerin obtained through industrial process to produce biodiesel, using a process basically consisting of four stages: a) Captation of the glycerin produced as a by--product of the industrial process for producing biodiesel; b) hydrogenation of said n-propanol glycerin, c) recycling of the n-propanol thus obtained to be added to a mixture of alcohols; and d) transesterfication of the n-propanol mixture added to the alcohol mixture, together with raw material triglycerides from renewable resources in order to obtain biodiesel. The referenced recycling of the n-propanol stream provides a reduction in the amount of the alcohol mixture necessary for the industrial process to produce biodiesel, consequently reducing operational costs.

Abstract: In a power converting apparatus in which two three-phase converters (1), (2) are operated parallel to one another, the three-phase converters (1), (2) are controlled by using d- and q-axis voltage commands. DC current sensors (26), (27) detect individual output DC currents (26a), (27a) of the three-phase converters (1), (2), and a d-axis voltage command vdr for each of the three-phase converters (1), (2) is corrected in a manner that reduces a difference between the output DC currents (26a), (27a). In this way, an output imbalance between the two three-phase converters (1), (2) is corrected while decreasing limitations on arrangement of the DC current sensors (26), (27).

Abstract: The use of time-lapsed NMR diffusivity measurements in an observation well is disclosed. The observation well is cased in the zone of interest with non-magnetic and non-conductive casing that is invisible to the NMR tool. Second, because NMR measurements have a dead zone in front of the antenna depending on the spatial variation of the fixed magnet strength, for example about 2.7 inches, a distance between the casing and the formation is reduced to less than the dead zone length by drilling the observation well at small deviation of about 5° and running the casing without centralizers. Both the casing and the pad-type NMR tool will follow the low side of the borehole, ensuring the measurement volume of the NMR tool is inside the formation and beyond the annulus. With the appropriate observation well completion, time-lapse diffusivity measurements with pad-type NMR tools can address several shortcomings in the current practice of monitoring EOR processes that rely upon changes in density and hydrogen index (HI). Various uses of NMR imaging in wells cased with non-metallic casing are also disclosed.

Abstract: An optical connector in which the housing property into a cabinet or the like can be enhanced because of the compacification, and which can solve problems of the increase of the bending loss of an optical fiber, the breakage, and the like is obtained. In an optical connector 1 which houses and holds a fusion spliced portion 13 where a short optical fiber 5 previously fitted to an optical connector ferrule 7 is fusion-spliced with a coated optical fiber 3, one end of a protection sleeve 15 which armors the fusion spliced portion 13 is coupled to the optical connector ferrule 7. As a result, the length of the protection sleeve 15 which covers the fusion spliced portion 13 so that the fusion spliced portion 13 is positioned at the middle can be set with reference to an end portion of the optical connector ferrule 7.  Therefore, the protection sleeve 15 can be shortened, and compactification of the optical connector 1 can be realized.
