Patent CA-2615016-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ERDMANN ERICH
IPC: G01V7/00
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: The Laser Gravitational Field Fluctuation Detector is designed to detect gravitational fluctuations in the Earth's gravitational field as for example when the Earth is influenced by the Sun or Moon's gravitation field which results in ocean tides. This detection is accomplished by measuring the deviation of two light beams from their normal paths in reference to each other when subjected to a gravitational field, due to the fact that a perpendicular beam is affected differently than a parallel beam. Both beams having been created from a single beam by means of a narrow angle glass prism beam splitter are affected each differently by the gravitational field. Fluctuation detection is accomplished by recombining both beams by means of two mirrors and the beam splitter in order to produce a bull`s eye type of interference pattern which can be viewed through the eyepiece and also recorded through the eyepiece by a camera or photocell.

Title: Gel for ultrasonic phantom
Inventor: TSUTA KAORU
IPC: G01N29/28
Filed: 2006-11-22
Abstract: It is intended to provide a gel for an ultrasonic phantom which has favorable ultrasonic characteristics that can be sustained over a long period of time without alteration and is free from bacterial contamination, denaturation, putrefaction, etc. Namely, a gel for an ultrasonic phantom which comprises a segmented polyurethane gel having alkylene oxide segments, which are mostly or entirely in the form of a liquid at room temperature, and a nonvolatile organic gel expansion medium, which would not participate in the reaction of the urethane, contained therein. Owing to the nonvolatile organic gel expansion medium, the liquid segments, etc. are maintained in the spread state and thus the spaces among the segments are enlarged, which brings about favorable ultrasonic characteristics such as ultrasonic attenuation rate and transmission speed. Since the content of the expansion medium shows no temporal change, these favorable ultrasonic characteristics are maintained over a long period of time. Because of containing the organic gel expansion medium, the gel for an ultrasonic phantom is free from bacterial contamination, denaturation, putrefaction, etc.
