Abstract: The continuous process for hyperactivation of fluids for sterilization uses a sterilizing fluid which is mixed with a gas that is inert with respect to the fluid. A sterilizing mixture is obtained which is subsequently evaporated by means of introduction into an evaporation tube in a condition of annular motion, where a liquid phase of the mixture flows against the heated walls of the evaporator at a slower speed than the gaseous phase thereof, which flows in the central zone of the evaporator, internally of the liquid phase. A gaseous vapour/inert gas mixture is thus obtained, which is subjected to a waiting period during which the mixture flows through a transit device which transfers it to a sterilization chamber, a temperature of which is lower than a dewpoint temperature of the gaseous mixture, where a product is sterilized.

Abstract: A computer implemented reading tutor comprises a player for outputting a response. An input block implementing a plurality of functions such as silence detection, speech recognition, etc. captures the read material. A tutoring function compares the output of the speech recognizer to the text which was supposed to have been read and generates a response, as needed, based on information in a knowledge base and an optional student model. The response is output to the user through the player. A quality control function evaluates the captured read material and stores the captured material in the knowledge base under certain conditions. An auto-enhancement function uses information available to the tutor to create additional resources such as identifying rhyming words, words with common roots, etc., which can be used as responses.

Abstract: An adjusting member which comprises a computer which is included in an apparatus for automatically milking animals and which adjusts the period the time that the animal is milked during a milking run to obtain optimal milk production from the animal over an extended period of time. A time duration plot of the milking run is initially determined based on milk quantity produced by the animal per unit time whereby an optimal duration of milking time during a milking run is calculated by the computer in consideration of the total milk produced by the animal over an extended period of time and the period of time according to the time duration plot that the milk flow rate is optimal. By limiting the duration of a milking run to approximately three minutes it has been determined that the total amount of milk produced by the animal over an extended period such as twenty-four hours is increased. The adjusting member also controls the rate that milk is removed from the teat cups connected to the teats of the animal during milking runs by controlling the milk pump or vacuum (or both) that governs the rate the milk is removed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to treat Barrett's tissue, a pre-cancerous condition, by removing the epithelium above the lower esophageal sphincter through cryo-ablation. An endoscope with fiber optics is used to view the operation, and a catheter for supplying liquid nitrogen is passed through the lumen of the endoscope. Liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly onto the Barrett's tissue through the catheter while the physician views the operation through the fiberoptics of the endoscope and controls the spray via a valve. Freezing is indicated by whiteness and shows that the epithelium has been cryoablated. The apparatus can also be used to treat various other gastrointestinal tract lesions. A most important and significant feature of this invention is the fact that the liquid nitrogen spray is applied in the esophagus at low pressure.

Abstract: A process simulator and modeling methodology employs instantaneous property measures. The instantaneous measures of various polymer properties are tracked throughout the subject polymer manufacturing system and used to calculate respective property distribution functions. For example, property distributions of composition, molecular weight, stereoregularity and long chain branching are calculated, tracked in time and location throughout the manufacturing system, and used to model the polymer manufacturing system and polymerization process performed by the system. More specifically, the present invention calculates full distribution of polymer properties from the instantaneous property measures and tracked instantaneous property distributions. This enables accurate and computationally efficient modeling of the polymerization process and manufacturing system for carrying out the same. The present invention method and apparatus thus enables modeling of polymer manufacturing systems (a) operating under transient or steady-state conditions, using free radicals or catalysts with a plurality of active center types, and having reactor types of CSTR, PFTR or any combinations thereof operating in batch, semi-batch or continuous operation, and (b) for carrying out polymerization processes including solution, slurry, gas phase, suspension and emulsion polymerizations.
