Abstract: The invention relates to an inerting arrangement (1) for setting and maintaining predeterminable inerting levels in a protective space (2) to be monitored. The inerting arrangement (1) comprises for this purpose a controllable inert gas system (10, 11, 12) for supplying inert gas, a feed pipe system (20), which is connected to the inert gas system (10, 11, 12) and can be connected to the protective space (2), in order to feed the inert gas supplied by the inert gas system (10, 11, 12) to the protective space (2), and an inert gas system control unit (30) which is designed to control the inert gas system (10, 11, 12) in such a way that an inert gas rate supplied by the inert gas system (10, 11, 12) assumes a value which is suitable for setting and/or maintaining a first predeterminable inerting level in the protective space (2). In order to ensure, even when there is a disruption in the control of the inert gas system (10, 11, 12) or when there is a failure of the inert gas system control unit (30), that the inert gas rate fed to the protective space (2) can in principle be regulated correspondingly such that a second predeterminable inerting level is set and/or maintained in the protective space (2), a correspondingly designed safety device (40, 41, 42, 43) is provided according to the invention.
Patent CA-2663092-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NELTNER ANDREW E
IPC: F16K7/17
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: The valve element includes a base layer having an aperture disposed there-through and a flexible top layer overlaying and joined to the base layer so as to cover the aperture. The base layer and top layer are further joined so as to provide an expandable and collapsible channel between the aperture and an exit point on the valve element. In its normal condition, to seal closed the valve element, the channel is collapsed and the base and top layer adjacent one- another. To facilitate sealing of the valve element, a semi-rigid sealant material is provided in the channel in sealing contact with the base layer and the top layer. In operation, air entering the aperture displaces the top layer and expands the channel, allowing the air to pass across the semi- solid sealant material and into the environment. The valve element may be used with storage containers, such as food storage bags.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing arsenic from an arsenic bearing material
Inventor: WHITEHEAD CHARLES F
IPC: C10G45/04
Filed: 2007-12-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing arsenic from an arsenic-bearing material. The method includes the steps of contracting an arsenic-bearing material with an arsenic leaching agent to form an arsenic-containing solution and arsenic-depleted solids. The leaching agent can be an inorganic salt, an inorganic acid, an organic acid, and/or an alkaline agent. The arsenic-depleted solids are separated from the arsenic-containing solution, which is contacted with a fixing agent to produce an arsenic-depleted solution and an arsenic-laden fixing agent. The fixing agent comprises a rare earth-containing compound that can include cerium, lanthanum, or praseodymium. The fixing agent is then separated from the arsenic-depleted solution. A recoverable metal in the arsenic-depleted solids, arsenic-containing solution or arsenic-depleted solution can be separated and recovered. Recoverable metals can include metal from Group IA, Group IIA, Group VIII and the transition metals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method wherein access to a patient, in particular access to vessels, can be monitored during extracorporeal blood treatment during which a loop (27) is formed in the arterial and/or venous line (6, 7). Inventive means (26) for fixing a section of the line in the form of a loop are provided. When the line is stressed under tension, the loop contracts until the line finally kinks. The modification of the diameter of the line and finally the formation of a kink in the line leads to a rise of pressure in the line, which is monitored by a pressure monitoring device. If the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the aspirating cannula is in danger of slipping out of the vessel access, has partially or has completely slipped out thus allowing the threshold value to be determined for prealarms or alarms.

Abstract: Pre-designing caricatures is inflexible and hinders the design process. Accordingly, a technique for rendering a caricature made up of at least one caricature part is provided. For a subject caricature, each caricature part is sized and positioned based on the size and position of a base connection point. Each caricature part has at least one piece. Each piece is assigned a respective layer for purposes of rendering and is rendered in order according to the layer assigned to the piece. A complete caricature is assembled from each caricature part, each being sized, positioned, and ordered based on the steps of sizing, positioning, and ordering. Rendering the complete caricature in this flexible manner enables a diversity of caricatures to be rendered without having to create an entire library of possible caricatures. In this way, the design process is enhanced.
