Patent CA-2792026-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STULEN FOSTER B
IPC: A61B18/04
Filed: 2012-10-05
Abstract: A surgical system comprises an ultrasonic surgical instrument and a conduit.  The conduit may be coupled with a vacuum source and/or a fluid source. The instrument comprises an ultrasonic transducer, a waveguide, and an end effector. The waveguide extends fully through the transducer, such that a distal end of the waveguide is distal to the distal end of the transducer and such that a proximal end of the waveguide is proximal to the proximal end of the transducer. The waveguide is operable to transmit ultrasonic vibrations from the transducer to the end effector. The waveguide defines a lumen in fluid communication with the conduit. The lumen is also in fluid communication with the end effector. The end effector may thus be used to deliver one or more of ultrasonic energy, suction, and/or fluid to a surgical site, in any suitable sequence or simultaneously.

Abstract: This process comprises using unconventional processing of hydrocarbons, e.g. natural gas, for recovering C2+ and NGL hydrocarbons that meet pipeline specifications, without the core high capital cost requirement of a demethanizer column, which is central to and required by almost 100% of the world's current NGL recovery technologies. It can operate in Ethane Extraction or Ethane Rejection modes. The process uses only heat exchangers, compression and simple separation vessels to achieve specification ready NGL. The process utilizes cooling the natural gas, expansion cooling, separating the gas and liquid streams, recycling the cooled streams to exchange heat and recycling selective composition bearing streams to achieve selective extraction of hydrocarbons, in this instance being NGLs. The compactness and utility of this process makes it feasible in offshore applications as well as to implementation to retrofit/revamp or unload existing NGL facilities. Many disparate processes and derivatives are anticipated for its use.

Title: Fan shroud and motor assembly comprised thereof
Inventor: STEHULAK GREGORY MICHAEL
IPC: F04D25/06
Filed: 2014-03-06
Abstract: This disclosure proposes designs for a fan shroud that dissipates thermal energy from a motor using a single, externally-powered fan design. Examples of the proposed fan shroud allow the cooling fluid to achieve maximum velocity at a position at which the fan shroud exposes the flow to cooler ambient air that surrounds the fan shroud/motor assembly. In this configuration, the high-velocity cooling fluid draws the cooler ambient air towards the surface of the motor, which, in turn, increases the thermal capacity of the moving cooling fluid to dissipate more thermal energy from the motor.
