Patent NO-975725-D0 (NO)
Inventor: DRIEHUYS BASTIAAN
IPC: G01R33/26
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: The invention provides a method of inhibiting surface-induced nuclear spin relaxation and surface trapping of a hyperpolarized noble gas, most preferably 129Xe, by polymer-coated surfaces. The method includes inhibiting the amount of interaction of the noble gas with a polymeric coating on the surface of apparatus which contacts the noble gas. Preferably, the method includes inhibiting noble gas nuclear spin relaxation by replacing at least some of the protons in the polymer with substituents which have non-zero nuclear spin and/or reduced polymer permeability. A preferred substituent having non-zero spin is deuterium. A preferred modification which reduces permeability includes introducing into the polymer a substituent such as a halogen, more preferably fluorine. The method also provides containers having surfaces which have been coated with a polymer which inhibits noble gas trapping and nuclear spin relaxation. Furthermore, the invention provides methods for enhancing the production and storage of a hyperpolarized noble gas by decreasing the relaxation of nuclear spin and limiting the trapping of the noble gas in a polymeric coating of apparatus containing the noble gas.

Patent GB-0525406-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to sifting screens
IPC: B07B1/46
Filed: 2005-12-14
Abstract: A frame over which woven wire mesh is to be stretched and secured to form a sieving screen and which can be used to screen solids from drilling mud recovered from down-hole when drilling for oil or gas. The frame is a rectilinear moulded plastics frame having edge regions by which it is secured in place in a shaker. Within the frame is a plurality of rectilinear windows formed by an orthogonal array of intersecting ribs also of moulded plastics material. Some of the ribs are internally reinforced by rigid metal members which extend orthogonally between hollow box-section members which define a sub-frame for reinforcing the four edge regions of the frame. The orthogonal members are secured at their ends to the sub-frame. The ends of the sub-frame members are joined at the four corners of the sub-frame. In this way not are only the edge regions of the frame reinforced internally but so also are some of the orthogonally intersecting ribs, so as thereby to produce a rigid frame for the screen. The internal reinforcement for those ribs which are to be reinforced may comprise hollow box-section metal members which may be of similar cross section to that of the sub-frame members, or the internal reinforcement for those ribs which are to be reinforced comprises metal I-beam cross section members, which typically have the same height as the height of the box-section members forming the sub frame.
