Abstract: Haemodynamic indices of an organ or a part of tissue are determined from a time series of tomographic data obtained by means of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Maps of indices are produced, being significant of the dynamics of the capillary tissue flow acquired during rapid bolus injection of a tracer that stays mainly intravascular. The method may be used for evaluating the efficacy of a drug on an organ, or for obtaining information of the likelihood of recovery of an organ or part of tissue upon or during a period of insufficient vascular supply or during the progression of a chronic disease. The method may be used for discriminating between relevant therapy of an organ.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly provided with an insulation transformer, which acts as an insulation barrier between two electrical systems. The printed circuit board (PCB) assembly has at least two separate PCB sections, and the insulation transformer is used as a support structure to mechanically interconnect the sections. Since the PCB sections are separated, the PCB sections no longer affect the creepage distance for the insulation barrier. Instead the insulating material and the physical design of the transformer determines the minimum required creepage distance. The insulating material of the transformer generally has a considerably higher CTI value than the PCB material, leading to a relatively short creepage distance being required. By breaking the creepage path on the PCB, the size of transformer will be substantially reduced compared to the prior art arrangements.

Abstract: A testing device applies time-varying electrical excitation to a cell or battery (20) and senses the resulting time-varying electrical response. Computation circuitry (50) within the device uses voltage and current signals derived from the excitation and response signals as inputs and computes values of elements of an equivalent circuit representation of the cell or battery (20). The internal temperature of the cell or battery (20) is calculated from the value of the time constant of a particular parallel G-C subcircuit of the equivalent circuit. The battery's (20) internal temperature is then either displayed to the user, used to apply appropriate temperature corrections to other computed quantities, used to detect thermal runaway, and/or used to control an external process such as charging of the battery (20).

Abstract: A process is described which permits the preparation of Ritonavir with only five intermediate stages using the same starting materials as those used in the process described in WO 94/14436; the process described here is also particularly satisfactory from the point of view of environmental impact because nearly all of the carbon atoms used are subsequently incorporated in the final molecule. Finally, the improvement afforded by this novel process is linked with the fact that an inexpensive reagent, such as bis-trichloromethyl carbonate (BTC), is used in two of the five stages.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for removing a coating from a substrate, comprising a nozzle having an outlet and adapted to direct a particle stream therethrough at a predetermined flow rate, a signal source for emitting a signal capable of traversing the particle stream, and a signal sensor positioned to detect the signal emitted by the signal source once the signal has passed through the particle stream. The particle stream is directed from the outlet of the nozzle toward a coating on a substrate to remove the coating from the substrate. Since the signal emitted by the signal source traverses the particle stream before being detected, the intensity of the signal detected by the signal sensor corresponds to a flow rate of the particle stream such that a subsequent change in the intensity of the signal that is detected by the signal sensor indicates a change in the flow rate of the particle stream. A method of monitoring a particle flow in an apparatus used for removing a coating from a substrate is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for use in a cleaning installation for removing soot or similar inside deposits in a flow channel (9) in a processing system such as a boiler, heat exchanger, flue gas filter or the like, by intermittently blasting a fluid or gaseous medium into the processing system, said device (1) comprising a flow passage (5) between the associated valve (1) means and the flow channel (9), wherein the flow passage (5) is provided with an inlet (8) allowing for a continuous flow of protective gas around the flow passage (5) into the flow channel (9) in the processing system. By the present invention, corrosion is reduced since a cushion of air is generated at the end (15) of the flow passage during off-cycles of the cleaning operation as air is constantly drawn or forced in through the inlet (8). This means that the components are covered by this cushion and protected against corrosive gasses in the heat exchanger or the like. Hereby, the valve means (1) are protected from corrosion and tests have shown that durability of the exposed components facing the inside of the boiler or the like has been significantly improved. <IMAGE>
