Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de dénitrification. Selon l'invention on utilise un seul récipient à réaction (12) fonctionnant avec de la vapeur d'eau surchauffée, à laquelle de l'oxygène est éventuellement ajouté, pour réduire les oxydes d'azote présents dans une grande variété de composés organiques. La réduction se fait rapidement lorsqu'un mélange vapeur d'eau/oxygène est injecté dans un lit fluidisé (22) de perles céramiques. Des additifs de réduction sont introduits de façon dosée dans le récipient à réaction (12) et/ou de l'énergie est introduite pour la réduction des nitrates en azote. La vitesse du mélange gazeux de fluidisation agite les perles qui ensuite aident à la fragmentation des déchets solides et permet un autonettoyage par abrasion, ce qui élimine les agglomérats, et l'oxygène, quand il est utilisé, permet une certaine oxydation des sous-produits des déchets et provoque un écart additionnel relatif aux exigences thermiques concernant le fonctionnement.

Le premier et le second diamètres sont de dimensions telles qu'une surface de l'extension d'enclenchement d'aiguille se trouve en enclenchement frictionnel avec une surface de l'extension d'enclenchement d'aiguille. Le premier diamètre est environ égal au diamètre d'une ouverture définie par l'extension d'enclenchement d'une seringue classique et le second diamètre est environ égal au diamètre d'une ouverture définie par l'extension d'enclenchement d'une aiguille classique. L'invention concerne également un système et un procédé empêchant l'injection par inadvertance d'un médicament intraveineux dans les vertèbres et un médicament vertébral par intraveineuse comportant une aiguille vertébrale et une seringue vertébrale afin de maintenir et de délivrer le médicament devant être injecté dans les vertèbres.

Inventor: VAN DER WEIDE DANIEL W
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2002-10-11
Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: Dielectric spectroscopy is carried out by coupling non~radiated microwave energy from an antenna to a sample to detect changes in the permittivity of the sample within the antenna's near field. The frequency response of the antenna exhibits resonant frequencies in a frequency range of interest.  Changes in the sample as a result of changes in environmental conditions of the sample are exhibited as changes in the antenna's resonant frequency or frequencies. The changes in the positions of the peaks with changes in environmental conditions can be correlated to changes in the condition of the sample, such as unfolding of proteins with increases in temperature of the sample.
