IPC: C04B24/26

Abstract: The present invention relates to new photocatalytic cement compositions, especially useful as paints, renders and plasters, provided with a high photocatalytic power and an optimal rheology, evaluated both in the step of preparing and in the step of applying. The compositions according to the invention specifically consist of a combination of organic additives, which, mixed with water and other components, provides cement compositions significantly more effective than the known compositions, both as far as rheology and photocatalytic power are concerned. The cement composition thus obtained associate features which have hardly been compatible up to now: on one side, a good workability (therefore a low viscosity) upon preparation from dry mixtures;  on the other side, a good consistency in a wet state just after application.  This avoids the occurrence of undesirable dripping before consolidation of the product. Finally, the photocatalytic power results surprisingly higher with respect to that of the known reference compositions when the same photocatalyst is used.

The controller is configured to receive an instruction for execution and to re-ceive an indication of a data precision for execution of the instruction.  The controller is also configured to receive a separate conversion in-struction that, when executed, converts graphics data associated with the instruction to the indicated data precision. When operable, the controller selects one of the execution units based on the indicated data precision.  The controller then causes the selected execution unit to execute the in-struction with the indicated data precision using the graphics data asso-ciated with the instruction.

Title: A method for tracking 3d anatomical and pathological changes in tubular-shaped anatomical structures
Inventor: KAUFFMANN CLAUDE
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A method for visualizing the anatomy of a region of interest of a tubular-shaped organ based on acquired three-dimensional image slices of the region of interest. Prior to segmentation, reference markers are positioned interactively in the image slices, a minimum curvature path connecting the reference markers is automatically extracted and cross-sectional images are interpolated along a plane normal to a tangent vector of the minimum curvature path. A segmented area corresponding to the region of interest is then delimited in each cross-sectional image and, using this segmented area, a three-dimensional surface representation of the region of interest is computed to readily quantify attributes, such as a maximal diameter and a volume, of the region of interest. When the image sets are acquired in different imaging geometries, the image sets may further be co-registered prior to segmentation, resulting in image sets superimposed in the same geometrical reference frame.

Abstract: A process for removing hydrocarbons such as oil from produced water entrains high concentrations of very small gas bubbles within produced water inside a vertically- oriented primary separation tank by means of aerators immersed in the wa-ter inside the tank. Oil droplets coat the gas bubbles which form a buoyant oil-rich froth phase overlying a gas-rich liquid phase.  The froth phase flows out through a discharge port in a preferably conical upper section of the primary tank, for disposal or recov-ery of oil as appropriate. Solid contaminants not borne by the froth phase may be intermittently settled out of the liquid phase and removed for treatment or disposal through a discharge port in a preferably conical lower section of the primary tank. Clean processed water is drawn a medial region of the primary tank for re-use as appropriate. In a preferred embodiment, the froth phase passes into a secondary separation tank for further separation of contaminants by means of gravity and/or supplemental aeration.
