Title: Amélioration de la gestion de la puissance dans un appareil de traitement respiratoire
Inventor: HUBY RONALD JAMES
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2009-09-07
Abstract: L’invention concerne un appareil de traitement respiratoire qui fournit un traitement respiratoire. L’appareil selon l’invention présente une gestion améliorée de la puissance, pour permettre une consommation de puissance plus efficace et un fonctionnement avec des unités d’alimentation électrique, telles qu’une batterie. Selon un mode de réalisation, la gestion de l’énergie accorde la priorité au générateur de débit (104) par rapport aux autres accessoires tels que les éléments chauffants (111, 135) d’un humidificateur (112) et/ou un tube de délivrance. Le générateur de débit peut commander le fonctionnement des éléments chauffants en fonction d’un cycle respiratoire détecté. Par exemple, la cadence de fonctionnement des éléments chauffants peut être imbriquée avec la partie d’une phase inspiratoire du cycle respiratoire pour permettre au générateur de débit de fonctionner pendant un fonctionnement en énergie de pointe sans consommation de courant ou avec une consommation de courant réduite de ces composants. Le fonctionnement de groupes distincts de composants du système (p. ex. différents éléments chauffants) peut également être imbriqué pour empêcher des fonctionnements en énergie de pointe simultanés.

Title: Adjoint-based conditioning of process-based geologic models
Inventor: KAVEH GHAYOUR
IPC: G06G7/48
Filed: 2009-12-03
Abstract: A method for correlating data predicted by a process- or physics-based geologic model to describe a subsurface region with obtained data describing the subsurface region. Data is obtained describing an initial state of the subsurface region. Data describing a subsequent state of the subsurface region is predicted. The predicted data is compared with the obtained data taking into account whether the obtained data or the predicted data represent a discontinuous event. A sensitivity of the predicted data is determined if the predicted data is not within an acceptable range of the obtained data. The data describing the initial state of the subsurface region is adjusted based on the sensitivity before performing a subsequent iteration of predicting data describing the subsequent state of the subsurface region. A representation of the subsurface region based on the data describing the subsequent state of the subsurface region is outputted.

Title: Electrospray and nanospray ionization of discrete samples in droplet format
Inventor: KENNEDY ROBERT
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 2010-06-18
Abstract: Droplets or plugs within multiphase microfluidic systems have rapidly gained interest as a way to manipulate samples and chemical reactions on the femtoliter to microliter scale. Chemical analysis of the plugs remains a challenge. It has been discovered that nanoliter plugs of sample separated by air or oil can be analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry when pumped directly into a fused silica nanospray emitter nozzle. Using leu-enkephalin in methanol and 1% acetic acid in water (50:50 v:v) as a model sample, we found carry-over between plugs was < 0.1% and relative standard deviation of signal for a series of plugs was 3%. Detection limits were 1 nM. Sample analysis rates of 0.8 Hz were achieved by pumping 13 nL samples separated by 3 mm long air gaps in a 75 ?m inner diameter tube. Analysis rates were limited by the scan time of the ion trap mass spectrometer. The system provides a robust, rapid, and information-rich method for chemical analysis of sample in segmented flow systems.
