Title: Surgical cassette latching mechanism
Inventor: LEUKANECH KURT D
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-03-26
Granted: 2008-06-03
Abstract: A surgical system having a cassette latching mechanism having two pivoting latching rails. The rails are connected to a rotating latching wheel by spring- loaded latching arms. The latching wheel is connected to a motor by a latching pushbar. The cassette is pressed into the rails which initiates the rotation of the rails, which close onto the cassette. The motor next rotates the latching wheel, producing cam-like movement of the latching arms and thereby further pivoting the latching rails to the fully closed and locked position.

Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: The invention is directed biopsy site markers and methods of marking a biopsy site, so that the location of the biopsy cavity is readily visible by conventional imaging methods, particularly by ultrasonic imaging. The biopsy site markers of the invention have high ultrasound reflectivity, presenting a substantial acoustic signature from a small marker, so as to avoid obscuring diagnostic tissue features in subsequent imaging studies, and can be readily distinguished from biological features. The several disclosed embodiments of the biopsy site marker of the invention have a high contrast of acoustic impedance as placed in a tissue site, so as to efficiently reflect and scatter ultrasonic energy, and preferably include gas-filled internal pores. The markers may have a non-uniform surface contour, such as a porous, irregular, frosted, faceted, multi-planar or lobulate surface, to enhance the acoustic signature. The markers have a characteristic form which is recognizably artificial during medical imaging.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production efficace et pratique d'une coenzyme Q10 réduite présentant d'excellentes qualités, laquelle est utilisée dans des aliments, dans des aliments ayant une fonction nutritive, dans des aliments destinés à des utilisations sanitaires spécifiques, dans des compléments nutritionnels, dans des toniques, dans des médicaments vétérinaires, dans des boissons, dans des aliments pour animaux, dans des produits cosmétiques, dans des médicaments, dans des produits pharmaceutiques, dans des produits prophylactiques, etc. Le procédé décrit dans cette invention convient à une production industrielle. Dans un mode de synthèse d'une coenzyme Q10 réduite par réduction de la coenzyme Q10 oxydée, puis par cristallisation, on utilise au moins un solvant choisi parmi les hydrocarbures, les esters d'acides gras, les éthers d'acides gras, et les nitriles. Ainsi, la coenzyme Q10 réduite peut être protégée contre l'oxydation et, à son tour, la formation de la coenzyme Q10 oxydée en tant que produit dérivé peut être minimisée, ce qui permet d'obtenir une coenzyme Q10 réduite présentant d'excellentes qualités.

Title: Solid catalyst alkylation process with regeneration section and hydrogen fractionation zone
Inventor: SHIELDS DALE JAMES
IPC: B01J38/10
Filed: 2002-02-28
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: An alkylating agent alkylates an alkylation substrate in a solid catalyst alkylation process in which an alkylation reactor produces a reaction effluent and a catalyst regeneration zone produces a hydrogen-containing regeneration effluent. The alkylation effluent passes to an alkylate fractionation zone, while the regeneration effluent passes to a hydrogen fractionation zone to remove hydrogen and produce a hydrogen-depleted stream that passes to the alkylate fractionation zone. The process recycles hydrogen, and can recycle halogen-containing species as well, within the process while preventing admixture of hydrogen with the alkylating agent. This invention is particularly applicable to alkylation processes that use an olefinic alkylating agent.

The vent panel is set at an approximate 45 degree angle and the inlet/outlet subassembly includes an outlet elbow having an approximate 45 degree bend. The outlet elbow includes a mounting plate that attaches to the vent panel. Depending on the orientation of the outlet elbow as mounted to the vent panel, the fireplace assembly can be configured as a top venting unit or as a rear venting unit.

Abstract: A biohazard mask for civilian use comprises bidirectional HEPA filtering to protect both personal and public health during an outbreak. Several measures are taken to maximize comfort and wearability, such as comfort-fit through a gel seal, anti-fogging protection through separation of the eye volume from the mouth-nose volume and through eye moisture release valves, heat-dissipation through a net suspension, and overpressure release valves to maintain the face seal during coughing or sneezing. Wicking exhalation filters promote moisture abatement around the mouth and nose. Attractive and stylish designs, combined with accommodation for telephone communication or audio entertainment, helps wearers keep the mask on during an outbreak.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a smoothed and durable industrial process fabric with a smoother, more planar, permanently deformed surface that is created without the removal, such as by grinding or sanding, of any material from the surface during manufacture. The fabric may be used as a papermaker's fabric, other industrial process and/or engineered fabric. The fabric is processed using a device comprising at least two smooth rolls which form a pressure nip, such as a calender, such that at least some of the fabric components are permanently deformed by the application of gap-based calendering to the fabric with the rolls being set to a pre-selected gap width.  Preferably, at least one of the rolls is heated to a pre-selected temperature.  The application of gap-based calendering results in an industrial process fabric with less fabric deformation than a fabric manufactured with load-based calendering.
