Abstract: A fluidic oscillator includes a member having an oscillation inducing chamber, at least one source of fluid under pressure, at least a pair of power nozzles connected to the at least one source of fluid under pressure for projecting at least a pair of fluid jets into the oscillation chamber, and at least one outlet from the oscillation chamber for issuing a pulsating or oscillating jet of fluid to a point of utilization or ambient. A common fluid manifold connected to said at least a pair of power nozzles. The shape of the power nozzle manifold forms one of the walls of the interaction or oscillation chamber. In some of the fluidic circuits, the length can be matched to fit existing housings. The power nozzle can have offsets which produce yaw angles in a liquid spray fan angle to the left or right depending on the direction desired. In some embodiments, the exit throat is off axis (off the central axis of the symmetry) by a small fraction to the left or right to move the leftward or rightward yaw angles in the spray. The outlet throat may be offset along the longitudinal axis by a small amount to produce a yaw angle of predetermined degree to the left or right depending on what is desired. Thus, one can construct circuits for yaw using a combination of the techniques described above which suits most applications.

Abstract: An improved production method of aromatic carboxylic acid products of significantly improved yield and quality, the method including oxidizing alkyl aromatic substrates or their partially oxidized intermediates in a catalyst system containing a conventional catalyst and, if deemed necessary, additional components such as a transition metal or lanthanide series metal, in an acetic acid medium, with a feed gas containing both oxygen and carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide functions as a co-oxidant along with oxygen in the oxidation reaction, the oxidation reaction proceeds more selectively to produce the carboxylic acid product much faster under milder reaction conditions as compared to the conventional oxidation. The present invention also can be utilized as an effective purification process to produce highly pure terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid by oxydation of impurities such as 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and para-toluic acid or 3-carboxybenzaldehyde and meta-toluic acid which are contaminated in crude terephthalic acid andisophthalic acid products, respectively.

Abstract: An improved holder, system and method for implanting a tissue-type prosthetic mitral heart valve that prevents suture looping and may also constrict the commissure posts of the valve. The holder may include two relatively movable plates, one of which attaches to the valve sewing on the inflow end of the valve ring and the other which attaches via sutures or similar expedient to the valve commissures on the outflow end. Separation of the plates places the sutures in tension and constricts the commissures. The sutures may be strands or filaments, or may be wider bands of flexible biocompatible material. If bands are used, they desirably cover the commissure post tips to further help prevent suture looping thereover. The flexible lengths of material extend directly between commissures of the valve, or may extending radially inward from each commissure to a central upstanding member. Desirably, a slide is created by the flexible lengths of material adjacent each commissure post, for example by crossing over suture filaments at or radially inward from the commissure posts. If an upstanding member is used, the lengths of suture extend axially beyond the commissure post tips to create a tent that wards off sutures that otherwise might loop around the tips during advancement of the valve along an array of pre-implanted sutures.
