Inventor: MONFORT GUY
IPC: G01N21/71
Filed: 2009-03-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated in-line method for measuring the surface cleanness of a continuously running metal sheet or strip, characterized by the following steps: a beam of radiation or a particle beam or a spark is focused onto the surface of the running strip, the transmitted power and the focal diameter being chosen so as to obtain a power density sufficient to create a plasma or hot spot which locally etches the metal in the form of a central zone surrounded by a peripheral oxidation ring; the characteristics of a zone encompassing said oxidized ring and possibly said central zone are analyzed by means of an optical image acquisition device and image processing;  and an objective value indicative of the surface cleanness is deduced therefrom.

Title: Method for preparing meta-aramid fibers
Inventor: ZHONG HEMY
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 2011-06-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing meta-aramid fibers, comprising the steps of polymerization, neutralization and spinning using m-phenylenediamine and isophthaloyl chloride as raw materials, characterized in that the neutralizing agent is added in an amount that is sufficient only for neutralizing a part of hydrogen chloride, so that the resultant spin dope of polyisophthaloyl metaphenylene diamine contains salts produced by the neutralization reaction and a part of unneutralized hydrogen chloride. The method of the invention has a short production line with reduced amount of the neutralizing agent, therefore both the costs of raw materials and the production energy consumption are saved. The fibers prepared according to the method of the invention have reduced gray scale to improve the electrical insulation properties of the fibers.

Abstract: A cover assembly includes a roller member rotatably supported by a bracket assembly on one end of the intake hopper of an agricultural conveyor such that a sheet member rolled onto the roller member can be unrolled to span across the intake opening. The cover assembly also includes a support frame pivotally coupled to the intake hopper between a working position and a stored position. In the working position a portion of the frame is centrally located above the intake opening and protrudes upwardly beyond respective sides of the housing of the intake hopper to support the sheet member to slope downward from a central apex to prevent accumulation of precipitation thereon. In the stored position the support frame is shorter in height relative to the housing than in the working position and the sheet member is rolled onto the roller so as not to interfere with normal operation of the intake hopper.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for increasing the recovery efficiency of spilled oil or any other viscous fluid. The surface of a rotatable oleophilic fluid recovery unit in an adhesion (oleophilic) skimmer or other recovery apparatus is patterned with a plurality of grooves configured for formation of menisci and pooling of fluid in the grooves when the surface contacts a viscous fluid.  When the surface of the fluid recovery unit rotates out of (e.g., is withdrawn from) the body of viscous fluid, an amount of the viscous fluid adheres to the patterned surface. A scraper is provided having a surface geometry that matches the surface geometry of the fluid recovery unit and allows the viscous fluid to be scraped off the surface of the fluid recovery unit and transferred to a collector.  Accordingly, both fluid separation and fluid recovery are made possible.

Title: A method for the preparation of a high-temperature stable oxygen-carrier-containing pharmaceutical composition and the use thereof
Inventor: WONG BING LOU
IPC: C07K1/34
Filed: 2011-04-15
Abstract: A high temperature-stable and highly purified cross-linked (optionally >= 70% .beta.-.beta.  linked) tetrameric hemoglobin with high efficiency of oxygen delivery suitable for use in mammals without causing renal injury and vasoconstriction is provided. The dimeric form of hemoglobin is degenerated and purification processes are performed on red blood cells from whole blood. Controlled hypotonic lysis in an instant cytolysis apparatus prevents lysis of white blood cells. Nucleic acids from white blood cells and phospholipids impurities are not detected. Blocking of reactive sulfhydryl groups by a sulfhydryl reagent is performed in an oxygenated environment. Flowthrough column chromatography removes different plasma protein impurities. N-acetyl cysteine is added to the cross-linked tetrameric hemoglobin to maintain a low level of met-hemoglobin.  The stabilized hemoglobin is preserved in an infusion bag with aluminum overwrap to prevent formation of inactive met-hemoglobin from oxygen intrusion. The product finds use in tissue oxygenation and cancer treatment.

Abstract: A method of detecting impending analytical failure in a networked diagnostic clinical analyzer is based upon detecting whether the operation of a particular analyzer is statistically distinguishable based on one or more thresholds. A failure occurs when one or more components or modules of the analyzer fails. A method to detect such an impending failure is disclosed. Baseline data on a pre-selected set of analyzer variables for a population of diagnostic clinical analyzers is used to generate an impending failure threshold. Subsequently, operational data comprising the same pre-selected set of analyzer variables allows generation of a time series of operational statistics. If the operational statistic exceeds the impeding failure threshold in a prescribed manner, an impending analytical failure is predicted. Such detection of impending analytical failures facilitates intelligent scheduling of service for the analyzer in question to maintain high assay throughput and accuracy.

Title: Apparatus and method for fat removal
Inventor: MANSTEIN DIETER
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2010-04-01
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for heating and removing subcutaneous fatty tissue using radiation. For example, an ablative laser or the like can be configured to generate a small hole in skin tissue that passes through the entire layer of dermal tissue. The hole size can be small, e.g., on less than about 1 mm or 0.5 mm in diameter.  Continued application of the radiation can heat and/or vaporize subcutaneous fat proximal to the lower portion of the hole. Expansion of the heated or vaporized fatty tissue can facilitate ejection of the fatty tissue from the formed hole. The energy of a radiation pulse used to form a hole and heat the fatty tissue can be, e.g., greater than about 0.5 J, e.g., between about 0.5 J and about 35 J. The skin tissue can be cooled or partially frozen before forming one or more such holes therein, and a sta-bilizing film or plate may be adhered to the skin surface to help stabilize the ablated holes.

Abstract: Il arrive souvent que, pour des motifs de conservation de largeur de bande sans fil, des messages incomplets soient acheminés à des dispositifs de messagerie sans fil. Lemploi de la cryptographie, à des fins de confidentialité ou dauthentification, lorsquon inclut un message reçu de façon incomplète, peut mener à un manque de contexte du côté du destinataire. En obtenant automatiquement la totalité du message à inclure, un message sortant qui comprend le message reçu peut être traité dune manière qui représente de manière précise et sûre le message sortant souhaité. En variante, un serveur peut assembler un message composite à partir dun nouveau message et dun message dorigine et, en coopération avec un dispositif de messagerie sans fil, signer le message composite. Dans les deux contextes ci-dessus, la gestion des accusés de réception de messages lorsque le traitement des messages avant leur transmission concernait plus dun composant peut être facilitée en stockant le contenu de laccusé de réception prévu approprié durant le traitement des messages sur le dispositif ou le serveur. La validation de laccusé de réception peut être accomplie par lutilisation du contenu de laccusé de réception prévu approprié de manière à conserver les avantages du traitement du message avant sa transmission qui concerne plus dun composant.
