Inventor: WHITE VINCENT
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2008-01-16
Abstract: A first contaminant selected from oxygen and carbon monoxide is removed from impure liquid carbon dioxide using a mass transfer separation column system which is reboiled by indirect heat exchange against crude carbon dioxide fluid, the impure liquid carbon dioxide having a greater concentration of carbon dioxide than the crude carbon dioxide fluid. The invention has particular application in the recovery of carbon dioxide from flue gas generated in an oxyfuel combustion process or waste gas from a hydrogen PSA process.

Patent CA-2619979-A1 (CA)
Title: Anchoring system for a catheter
Inventor: PLUTH RICHARD A
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2006-08-31
Abstract: An anchoring system 10 secures a catheter 8 to the body of a patient and arrests axial movement of the catheter 8 without meaningfully impairing fluid flow through the catheter 8. The anchoring system 10 includes an anchor pad 12 that adheres to the patient's skin and supports a retainer 20. The retainer 20 includes interengaging structure that moves the retainer 20 between an open and a closed position. When in the open position, the retainer 20 can receive a portion of the catheter 8 and be subsequently moved to the closed position.  Advantageously, the interengaging structure allows the retainer 20 to receive catheters 8 of various sizes. In some embodiments the interengaging structure includes a latch mechanism 80 having an angled opening 104 and a strap 24. The angled opening 104 is configured to receive the strap 24 when the retainer 20 is in the closed position. The retainer 20 may further include one or more retention mechanisms to further inhibit axial movement of the catheter 8 relative to the retainer 20 when the catheter 8 is secured therein. In an embodiment, the anchoring system 10 includes a mount that allows the retainer 20 to rotate relative to the anchor pad 12.
