Patent AU-762235-B2 (AU)
Title: Intergrated deethanizer/ethylene fractionation column
Inventor: STORK KARL
IPC: B01D1/28
Filed: 2000-03-03
Granted: 2003-06-19
Abstract: An integrated deethanizer and ethylene fractionation column and process for separating a feed stream comprising ethylene, ethane and C<sub>3+</sub> is disclosed. A single shell houses a refluxed upper portion and a lower portion of the column. A generally vertical wall partitions the lower portion of the column into a deethanizer section and an ethylene stripper section. The upper column portion is used as the absorption section of the ethylene fractionator. The feed is supplied to an intermediate stage in the deethanizer, and the deethanizer is operated at a lower pressure (and correspondingly lower temperature) matching that of the ethylene fractionation. The design allows the use of one slightly larger column in place of the two large columns previously used for separate deethanization and ethylene fractionation.

Title: Cardiac vulnerability tracking method and apparatus
Inventor: VERRIER RICHARD L
IPC: A61B5/361
Filed: 1993-09-16
Granted: 1996-09-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-invasive, dynamic tracking and diagnosing of cardiac vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation are disclosed. T-wave alternans and heart rate variability are simultaneously evaluated. T-wave alternation is an absolute predictor of cardiac electrical instability. Heart rate variability is a measure of autonomic influence, a major factor in triggering cardiac arrythmias. By simultaneously analyzing both phenomena, the extent and cause of cardiac vulnerability can be assessed. The method includes the following steps. An ECG signal is sensed from a heart. The T-wave portions of the ECG signal are analyzed to estimate an amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation. The amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation represents cardiac electrical instability. The R-R intervals are analyzed to estimate a magnitude of a high frequency component of heart rate variability and to estimate a magnitude of a low frequency component of heart rate variability. The high frequency component indicates parasympathetic activity. The low frequency component indicates combined sympathetic activity and parasympathetic activity. The amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation, the high frequency component of heart rate variability, and the low frequency component of heart rate variability are simultaneously analyzed to diagnose cardiac electrical instability.

Granted: 2003-12-04
Abstract: Information sent from a server in response to a request from a client computer is accompanied by a version stamp, comprising date/time code. At the client, on each occurrence of a specified event or events, the version stamp is compared with any previous version stamp to determine whether this is a new transmission of information or not. A log is kept at the client of all information displayed, whether on-line or off-line, and the logged information is subsequently returned to the server, when a subsequent request for information is made by the client of the server. When it is determined from the version stamp that new information is being received from the server, this indicates that the logged information has reached the server, and the log can be cleared. Similar operations can be applied to the sending and receipt of e-mail messages.
