Patent CA-2478716-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCOTT THOMAS M
IPC: F16K11/14
Filed: 2004-08-20
Abstract: A vacuum assisted priming system for a fluid pump that includes a housing defining a hopper that communicates with an inlet to the fluid pump to be primed. The housing mounts a first port that communicates with the source of vacuum and a second port that communicates with atmosphere. A check valve associated with the second port allows atmospheric air to flow into the housing under certain operating conditions but prevents reverse flow. A valve member is pivotally mounted within a valve chamber forming part of the housing and carries first and second sealing elements engage able with first and second seats forming part of the first and second ports, respectively. The lever arm is operatively connected to a float located within the hopper by an actuating rod, via a lost motion connection. When the fluid level in the hopper rises to a predetermined level, the actuating rod moves the lever arm to a first sealing position at which the first sealing element engages the first seat of the first port. When the fluid level falls to a predetermined level, the actuating rod moves the lever arm to a second sealing position at which the second sealing element engages the second seat forming part of the second port. A baffle located at an inlet to the hopper reduces surging and turbulence in the hopper and includes a apertured support plate and a spider-like diverter mounted to the support plate. The baffle defines a circuitous path through which the fluid must flow in order to enter the hopper.

Abstract: La présente invention met en oeuvre des hydrogels en tant que couplages acoustiques pour des applications cliniques d'imagerie et de thérapie par ultrasons, mais est particulièrement applicable à la thérapie à base d'ultrasons focalisés à grande intensité. Alors que l'on peut utiliser d'autres matériaux, il a été démontré que le polyacrylamide présente une robustesse et une transmissibilité suffisantes pour résister aux températures élevées produites lors de la thérapie à base d'ultrasons focalisés à grande intensité. Un mode de réalisation d'un couplage à hydrogel est conformé en forme et en taille (longueur) pour assurer qu'une zone focale d'un transducteur ultrasonore soit disposée à proximité de la zone cible lorsque l'extrémité distale du transducteur est en contact avec le tissu. Ces couplages peuvent être conformés pour correspondre aux caractéristiques de focalisation de transducteurs spécifiques. De l'eau peut être appliquée pour hydrater l'extrémité du couplage à hydrogel lors de son utilisation, et un produit médicamenteux absorbé dans le matériau d'hydrogel peut être appliqué au tissu en contact avec la surface distale de l'hydrogel.

Dans un mode de réalisation, le système comprend un système d'exploitation à chiffrement (EOS), qui est un système d'exploitation UNIX modifié. L'EOS est configuré de façon qu'il fait appel à un algorithme de chiffrement symétrique et à une clé de chiffrement pour chiffrer des données transférées de la mémoire physique sur des dispositifs secondaires tels que des disques, des dispositifs de permutation, des systèmes de fichiers réseau, des mémoires tampons réseau, des systèmes de pseudofichiers ou de quelconques autres structures extérieures à la mémoire physique et sur lesquelles des données peuvent être stockées. L'EOS fait en outre appel à l'algorithme de chiffrement symétrique et à la clé de chiffrement pour déchiffrer des données transférées depuis les dispositifs secondaires sur la mémoire physique. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, l'EOS ajoute une couche de sécurité supplémentaire en chiffrant également la structure de répertoire utilisée pour localiser les données chiffrées. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, le système authentifie un utilisateur ou un processus et vérifie ses attributs de légitimation avant d'autoriser l'accès à un fichier, au moyen d'une fonction de gestion de clé qui commande l'accès à une ou plusieurs clés de chiffrement destinées au chiffrement et au déchiffrement des données.

Title: Denitration catalyst management method and denitration catalyst management device
Inventor: OKA YOUSUKE
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: Secular change data on each unit of denitration catalysts (101) is managed based on data obtained by a periodic maintenance management (step S110) and a daily management (step S120), and management of a secular change and a performance variation prediction until a next periodic check is performed (step S130). It is determined whether a deterioration of the denitration catalyst (101) reaches a level at which a performance of an exhaust-gas denitration system (100) cannot be maintained (step S140). If it is determined that the deterioration is positive ("deteriorated" at step S 140), then a regeneration, a replacement, or an addition of the denitration catalyst (101) is performed (steps S150, 160, and 170), the denitration catalyst is altered if necessary (step S 180), and the denitration catalyst (101) is not replaced or regenerated (step S 190) if it is recognized that the catalyst is usable ("usable" at step S140).
