Patent EP-1453296-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GIESE TROY A
IPC: H04N1/08
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: An apparatus for registering film in a drum scanner assembly
comprising: a horizontally oriented concave curved film platen having first and
second horizontal edge regions and third and fourth curved side edge regions
connected between first and second edge regions, the concave, curved film platen
having a curved surface defining a curved film path from the first edge region to
the second edge region; a plurality of slider assemblies having film engagement
members mounted relative to the platen to engage film fed into the film platen, the
film engagement members being independently slidable within the slider
assemblies; and means for simultaneously moving the slider assemblies according
to the size of film to be fed onto the film platen such that all of the film
engagement members are aligned across the platen in a direction perpendicular to
the film path; wherein as film is fed onto the film platen from the first edge region
along the curved film path toward the second edge region, the leading edge of the
film engages the film engagement members to move the members along the slider
assemblies until the film is registered on the platen, the film being de-skewed
during the movement.

Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to
minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of
the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number
of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with
the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device such as a
stent-graft. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a
biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism.
In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote
healing, including the formation of blood clots. A stent-graft fabricated from a thin-walled,
high strength material provides for a more durable and lower profile
endoprosthesis. The stent-graft comprises one or more stent segments covered with a
fabric formed by the weaving, knitting or braiding of a biocompatible, high tensile
strength, abrasion resistant, highly durable yam such as ultra high molecular weight
polyethylene. The one or more stent segments may be balloon expandable or self-expanding.
The fabric may be attached to the stent segments utilizing any number of
known materials and techniques. In addition, the pore size of the graft material may be
varied.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method
and apparatus of radiation processing of a product package
in a device having a radiation source, a collimator having
a variable aperture, and a turntable, said radiation
processing resulting in a point in the product package
where the dose is minimal (D min  point) and a point in said
product package where the dose is maximal (D max  point)
comprising the steps of:
     determining a first value of the collimator aperture, by
increasing said aperture from a small value, where the
D max  point is located near the centre of the product
package, up to a value where the D max  point moves near to
the centre of a small side of said package's rectangular
horizontal cross-section;   determining a second value of the collimator aperture,
by further increasing the collimator aperture up to a
point where the D min  point moves from a point near the
corner of the product package to the centre of said
package;   processing said package with radiation, the collimator
aperture being kept at a constant value comprised
between said first and said second value, the turntable
being rotated at a variable speed.

Title: Unites de constructions quadrillees irregulieres
Inventor: RICCOBENE THOMAS S
IPC: E04F15/02
Filed: 2004-03-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne une unité de construction quadrillée, irrégulière qui comprend x éléments primaires, x étant un nombre entier supérieur ou égal à 1. L'élément primaire est un quadrillage rotatif présentant plusieurs paires de côtés qui s'étendent dans un sens généralement radial depuis plusieurs sommets, respectivement. Dans chaque paire, les deux côtés sont espacés de manière rotative par un angle qui est divisé de manière égale en 360 degrés. De préférence, tous les côtés sont de forme irrégulière, cependant un ou plusieurs côtés peuvent s'étendre en continu de manière totale ou partielle. Des éléments d'espacements sont éventuellement disposés sur les côtés de chaque unité. Une large variété d'unités peuvent être construites et présenter différents nombres et agencements d'éléments primaires. Comme toute les unités sont des combinaisons d'éléments primaires, elles s'apparient facilement les unes aux autres. Un revêtement de surface comprend une pluralité d'unités assemblées afin que soit formée une surface continue sans chevauchement ni espacements notables entre unités. Une structure, de type paroi ou colonne peut être formée au moyen des unités de construction de l'invention. Les configurations latérales irrégulières et les différents tailles et formes des unités individuelles permettent d'obtenir une surface ou structure qui présente un aspect à motifs naturel, non répétitif. Des variations de bordures et de surface mineures sont éventuellement appliquées d'unité à unité afin d'augmenter davantage l'aspect naturel de la structure ou du revêtement de surface.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ventilateur portable qui utilise un compresseur Roots en tant que compresseur, afin de réduire à la fois la taille et la consommation d'énergie du ventilateur. Divers aspects fonctionnels du ventilateur sont délégués à de multiples sous-ensembles présentant des contrôleurs et des logiciels spécialisés qui interagissent avec un processeur de ventilateur, afin d'offrir des fonctions d'interface d'utilisateur, des servomécanismes de commande d'expiration et de circulation et un contrôle de l'état du patient. Le ventilateur selon cette invention évite les problèmes de bruit par l'utilisation d'orifices de compensation de pression qui réduisent le bruit et qui se trouvent sur le boîtier du compresseur Roots et par l'utilisation de multiples chambres à chicanes. Ce ventilateur présente une taille qui le rend très facile à porter et peut être utilisé en tant que dispositif autonome ou en tant que dispositif raccordé à sa station d'accueil dont la station d'accueil présente des fonctions d'interface et de contrôle améliorées.

Abstract: L'invention concerne les améliorations apportées à un procédé de préparation de composés aromatiques cyclohexényle et alcényle, tels que le styrène, permettant d'éliminer simplement et efficacement des composés azotés. Les composés azotés peuvent être des agents stabilisants ou neutralisants ou être issus d'agents stabilisants ou neutralisants ajoutés pour empêcher l'homopolymérisation du styrène. Les composés azotés sont éliminés de la fraction benzène, dans le cas de la production de styrène, ladite fraction résultant de la déshydrogénation d'éthylbenzène. Du fait de la solubilité préférentielle des composés azotés dans l'eau, la plupart des composés peuvent être éliminés par la mise en contact étroit de la fraction benzène avec suffisamment d'eau, à un moment approprié du processus, puis par l'élimination de la majeure partie ou de la totalité de l'eau et des composés azotés entraînés.

Abstract: A catalytic gas turbine includes a compressor, a catalytic combustor, a
turbine, and a flow path conducting a bypass portion of the compressed air
around the combustor and turbine. A method of operating the catalytic gas
turbine to activate a catalyst in the catalytic combustor includes opening an
inlet guide vane upstream of the compressor to a position to produce an
increased volume of compressed air. The increased volume exceeds a
volume of compressed air needed to support combustion. A bypass portion of
the compressed air is extracted and directed around the combustor and
turbine. The method may also include extracting a recirculation portion of the
compressed air and directing the recirculation portion into the inlet of the
compressor.
