Abstract: An apparatus and method for reclaiming a useful oil product, from waste oil provides an evaporation chamber in which waste oil is heated and vaporized, preferably at a temperature which causes some cracking of the oil. Hydrogen is injected into the vaporized oil, so to cause saturation of at least some of the olefins in the vaporized oil. The vaporized oil is then condensed and recovered as a useful oil product. The apparatus operates at substantially atmospheric pressure, or a pressure only slightly above atmospheric pressure. Hydrogenation of the vaporized oil stabilizes the recovered oil, and prevents formation of tars and other heavier hydrocarbons, which can cause difficulties in use of the recovered oil.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de mettre en oeuvre une réaction chimique entre au moins deux fluides, selon lequel chaque fluide dispose d'une voie d'écoulement respective. Les voies d'écoulement communiquent l'une avec l'autre dans une région dans laquelle les fluides peuvent venir en contact l'un avec l'autre et lesdits fluides s'écoulent dans la voie d'écoulement de telle manière qu'ils viennent en contact l'un avec l'autre dans ladite région et qu'une réaction chimique se produise entre ces deux fluides. Ladite région possède une largeur perpendiculairement au sens d'écoulement de l'ordre de 10 à 10.000 micromètres. Selon la présente invention, on a trouvé que l'utilisation d'un 'microréacteur', c'est-à-dire d'un réacteur ayant des dimensions perpendiculaires au sens d'écoulement inférieures à 10.000 micromètres, permet d'améliorer la régulation de la réaction chimique des fluides, ce qui entraîne des améliorations significatives du rendement et/ou de la pureté du produit de réaction, ainsi que d'autres avantages. Le présent procédé est particulièrement efficace pour les réactions de fluoration.

Abstract: An instrument and method for providing accurate and reproducible measurement of absolute properties of a material under test without using conductivity or crack calibration standards. The instrument has a sensor designed to minimize unmodeled parasitic effects. To accomplish this, the sensor has one or more of the following features: dummy secondary elements located at the ends of a primary winding meandering, setting back of the sensing element from a connecting portion of the primary winding, or various grouping of secondary elements. The sensing elements of the sensor can be connected individually or in differential mode to gather absolute or differential sensitivity measurements. In addition, the instrumentation is configured such that a significant portion of the instrumentation electronics is placed as close to the sensor head to provide independently controllable amplification of the measurement signals therein reducing noise and other non-modeled effects.

Abstract: Techniques whereby electrical stimulation to treat symptoms from
central and peripheral nervous system disorders such as those found in
e.g. Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, psychiatric illnesses and
intractable pain, using a quadripolar deep brain stimulation electrode
connected to an implantable pulse generator have been expanded. By an
implantation of an electrode, it is important for the outcome to
determine the optimal placement of the electrode. By the invention, an
electrode device is provided allowing stimulation of a large volume of
neural tissue in combination with simultaneous microelectrode recording.
Other improvements involve a temporary electro-physiological
microrecording microelectrode/stilette (1), a bent electrode tip (5), a
split electrode tip or an asymmetrical electrical stimulation field.
This technique allows for a less traumatic localisation of the optimal
neural stimulation area by microelectrode recording in combination with
the placement of the permanent deep brain stimulation electrode.

Abstract: A computer is operated to generate electronic data defining a
system model by loading into the computer a class definition
defining instructions which are processed by the system, the
definition including a set of functional methods to which the
instruction is subjected by the system and a set of locations for
members representing the instruction. A model execution program
is then executed on the computer which calls the class definition
for each instruction, invokes one of the functional methods and
loads the locations of the entry with state information depending
on the functional method to create a functional component. The
functional component is loaded into memory and the state
information of the functional component modified in dependence on
a subsequently invoked functional method by the model execution
program. 
     The class definitions may be one of the members and may be the
address of the instruction in a memory of the processor being
modelled, a record of any loops caused by the instruction, the
opcode of the instruction describing the effect of the
instruction when executed, a pointer to a description of the
effect of the instruction when executed or an array of operands
including input and output operand values for the instructions.
