Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: A residuum oil solvent extraction process is improved by using
direct fired convection heaters for heating the asphaltene, the solvent-deasphalted
oil phase, the deasphalted oil and the stripping steam,
instead of hot oil heat exchangers. The convection heaters are fired
using recirculated flue gas so that the hot flue gas supplied to the
convection heaters has a temperature between 800°F and 1400°F.

Abstract: A head main body (1) has a connecting portion of a water feeding hose (4) connected
at its end, and a connecting portion of a sprinkler (5) provided its tip end with a
sprinkling nozzle (25) at its other end. The head main body (1) is formed in a
straight-line shaped tube body, and the connection between the water feeding
hose (4) and the sprinkler (5) is conducted through a connector to be engaged with a
screw (2) to be formed in both the longitudinal ends of the straight-line tube body (1A). 
     Further, this head main body (1) is provided with a plurality of water flowing
passages being independent. One of a plurality of water flowing passages (11,16) is
formed into an open passage (11) where the service water normally flows. The open
passage (11) is composed of a specific small-diameter passage (11a) for sucking the
medical fluid and a specific large-diameter passage (11b) downstream of the service
water. A flowing speed increasing passage (12) where the passage diameter is
partially narrowed is formed in the specific small-diameter passage (11a) where the
medical fluid is sucked. The flowing speed increasing passage (12) is connected, for
communication through the medical sucking passage (14) where the medical fluid
within the medical fluid bottle (10) is sucked, with the engaging means of the
medical fluid bottle (10) provided on the peripheral wall of the head main body (1).
The medical fluid is sucked from the medical fluid sucking passage (14) and is mixed
with the service water by the jet water current of the service water flowing
dawn through the flowing speed increasing passage (12). All the passages including
the open passage (11) are merged in the tip end and are formed so as to flow down to
the sprinkling nozzle (25). The dilution ratio of the medical fluids is to be
changed by one of the flowing water passages (11,16) or more and the combination of the
open passages (11a,11b).

Abstract: A device and method for revascularizing myocardial tissue of the heart
using stents are provided. Multiple stents are implanted into an area of
hibernating myocardial tissue to permit blood to flow from the left ventricle
directly into the tissue for revascularization. Various stent embodiments are
disclosed that simultaneously pierce and penetrate the tissue during delivery and

Alternatively, the stents may be inserted into myocardial tissue over a piercing
delivery device. The stents are preferably delivered through a steerable catheter
percutaneously insertable into the left ventricle and configured to hold multiple
stents. The stents are pushed from the catheter directly into the myocardium
sequentially.

Abstract: In the field of mass flow measuring apparatuses, it is known to provide a
sensor member for the establishment thereon of streamline flow of bulk
material, in which the sensor member design is optimised in order to
minimise the effects of changes in the coefficient of friction between the
bulk material and the sensor member. 
     The invention relates to improvements in the construction of the measuring
apparatus, whereby two mechanical quantities (such as a pair of forces; or
a pair of moments) may be measured to provide additional data on the
flow process. In particular, it is possible to determine an exit velocity
value v e  that is indicative of the momentum of bulk material in the sensor
member.

Abstract: In a control signal transmission method for an
optical transmission system, a control signal having a
high signal to noise ratio is transmitted without
providing any deterioration in characteristic to the
information signal. Upon transmission of a control signal
of the optical transmission system, an optical signal
modulated (4) with an information signal (2) is
polarization modulated (7) with the control signal (51),
and the polarization state of the polarization modulated
polarization modulation optical signal is varied (9) with
a related control signal (52) to obtain a modulated
optical signal, and the control signal is transmitted with
the modulated optical signal. In a corresponding control
signal reception method for an optical transmission
system, a modulated optical signal thus produced is
received, and the polarization modulated control signal is
extracted by means of a polarizer (17), the output of
which is converted (19) into an electric signal, and a

Abstract: An electro-optic sampling oscilloscope (or EOS oscilloscope) is
designed to perform measurement such that an electro-optic sampling probe
(i.e., EOS probe; 2) is brought into contact with a measured circuit. Optical
pulses are input to the EOS probe, wherein they are varied in polarization
states in response to the measured circuit. Then, an electric signal output
from the EOS probe is amplified to produce a receiving light signal. The
receiving light signal is subjected to sampling operations using a first pulse
signal (P2) to produce detection data, while it is also subjected to sampling
operations using a second pulse signal (P3) to produce noise data. Herein,
the first pulse signal consists of pulses which emerge in synchronization
with the optical pulses respectively, while the second pulse signal delays
from the first pulse signal by a prescribed delay time (Td). Then,
measurement data are produced by subtracting the noise data from the
detection data. The measurement data are processed so that a measured
waveform representing a measurement result is displayed on a screen of the
EOS oscilloscope. Thus, it is possible to obtain the measured waveform
with high precision and a good S/N ratio by eliminating low-frequency noise
components from the measurement results.
