Title: System for extracting soluble heavy metals from liquid solutions
Inventor: ROSENBERG EDWARD
IPC: B01J39/08
Filed: 1997-11-03
Abstract: A process for removing ions of dissolved heavy metals and complex heavy metals comprises provides a treatment zone in which is contained an extraction material having an activated surface that has an affinity for heavy metal ions and complex heavy metal ions. The activated surface is the reaction product of a polyamine with a covalently anchored trifunctional hydrocarbyl silyl that yields non-crosslinked amino groups to which functional chelator groups can be covalently attached. The activated surface of the extraction material is formed by first hydrating the extraction material surface and then silanizing the hydrated surface with a short chain trifunctional silane having a hydrocarbon substituent containing 1-6 carbon atoms and a terminal leaving group, and then reacting a polyamine with the hydrocarbylsilyl from the silanization of the hydrated surface so as to form an aminohydrocarbyl polymer covalently bound to the extraction material surface. The extraction material surface yields amino groups that are available for bonding to chelator groups. As thus formed, the polymer may be alkylated with a carboxyl or sulfur containing alkylating reagent on at least some of the amino groups to enhance and specialize the chelating ability of the extraction material's activated surface.

Abstract: There is provided a gasket including a gasket body (1a) which
is formed axially thereof with a through-hole (2), and further
with an annular groove (4a) to thereby define contact portions
(5a) between the annular groove (4a) and opposite contact
surfaces (3a). The annular groove (4a) extends from an inner
wall (2a) of the through-hole (2) towards a side surface (3b)
of the gasket body (1a). A projection (6) having a semicircular
cross-section is formed on each one of the contact surfaces
(3a) above the annular groove (4a) so that the projection (6)
entirely surrounds the through-hole (2). In use, the gasket is
sandwiched between flanges. When compressed between flanges,
the contact portions (5a) are resiliently deformed, and
resultingly, a counter-force exerted on the contact portions
(5a) makes the contact portions (5a) and hence the projections
(6) tightly contact the flanges. Thus, hermetic sealing is
established between the gasket and flanges.

Abstract: An intra-aortic balloon pump includes an overdrive system for
inflating the intra-aortic balloon with a working gas and deflating the balloon
more rapidly. A substantially constant inflation pressure is applied to the
working gas for a predetermined time to substantially fully inflate the balloon
to a working pressure. The inflation pressure is then reduced to a pressure
which is substantially equal to the working pressure so as to maintain the
balloon in the inflated condition and prevent its overinflation. Subsequently, a
substantially constant deflation pressure is applied to the working gas and is
held for a predetermined time to substantially fully deflate the balloon to a
desired end deflation pressure. The deflation pressure is then increased to a
pressure which is substantially equal to the end deflation pressure so as to
maintain the balloon in the deflated condition and ready the system for the
next inflation cycle.

Abstract: A restraint system (10) includes an actuatable
occupant restraint module (18), which is controlled in a
method for restraining a vehicle occupant (12). A
restraint control determination function (68) controls
actuation of the restraint module (18) using information
from a vehicle collision sensor (30). An occupant sensor
(34) senses the occupant and provides a signal indicative
thereof. A position determination function (46)
determines position of the occupant (12) using the signal,
and an occupant velocity determination function (70)
determines velocity of the occupant relative to a vehicle
reference location, as a time derivative of the occupant
position. An OOP determination function (52) determines
if the occupant (12) is in an occupant out-of-position
zone (OOP) (62). If the occupant (12) is within the OOP
zone (62), actuation of the restraint module (18) is
prevented. A boundary adjustment function (72)
repositions a boundary (64) of the OOP zone (62) as a
function of the determined occupant velocity. Another
embodiment includes an adjustable zone (258), in which
adjustable aspect(s) (219) are adjusted.

Abstract: Dendritic cells play a critical role in antigen-specific immune responses.
Materials and methods are provided for treating disease states, including cancer

delivery. An increase number of dendritic at the site of antigen delivery means
more antigen uptake and a modified immune response.

Abstract: Sense of normal vectors produced from the parameters of intensity ellipse characterizing the partially polarized waves from each pixel is determined using mathematical and topological criteria. From an origin the surface of the object sought is established by building successive surface elements A beam of phonons (Fi) generated within a body (C1) arrives at an interface (P1) with air. A partially polarized beam (Fr) is reflected back into the body and another partially polarized beam (Fe) emerges into the air. The degree of polarization in the emergent beam depends on the nature of the body and in particular it's dielectric constant. Bodies having equal emission intensities may therefore be differentiated. The method uses only three types of optical data for each pixel observation which are obtained by using an optical element having three different characteristics relative to the received beam. Three Stokes parameters are then calculated which enable the details of the intensity ellipse describing the partially polarized light emanating from each pixel to be determined. A field of pseudo normal vectors of known sense may then be constructed allowing the shape of an object to built up from small elements.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a service means (SP) to provide a service to
a user of a first terminal (T1) of a telecommunication network. The user desires
to use a predefined universal mobile telecommunication service of a universal
mobile telecommunication system. The service means (SP) includes a retrieving
means (RET) to retrieve, with a coverage area (Ai) from a storing means (MEM) a
location information (LOC-A2) that is associated according to the storing means
(MEM) to the coverage area (Ai). The coverage area (A2) is one of a set of
coverage area's (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6) of the universal mobile
telecommunication system. Each one (A2) of the coverage area's (A1, A2, A3,
A4, A5, A6) is, respectively, associated to a location information (LOC-A2) of one
of a set of location information (LOC-A1, LOC-A2, LOC-A3, LOC-A4, LOC-A5,
LOC-A6). In the event when the terminal (T1) is located within such a coverage
area (A2), the first terminal (T1) is enabled to access the predefined universal
mobile telecommunication service. Furthermore the service means (SP) includes
first determining means (DET1) that are coupled to the retrieving means (RET).
The first determining means (DET1) are adapted to select, upon receiving of an
initiation signal (INIT) by the service means (SP), a selected location information
(LOC-A2) based upon predefined rules and upon one or more location
information (LOC-A2, LOC-A3) that are similar retrieved as the retrieved location
information. The first determining means (DET1) furthermore provides the
selected location information (LOC-A2) to forwarding means (FORW). The
forwarding means (FORW) are coupled to the retrieving means (RET). The
forwarding means (FORW) is enabled to forward the selected location
information (LOC-A2) to the user. Thereby, the transportation of the first
terminal (T1) to the selected coverage area (A2) according to the forwarded
selected location information (LOC-Ai) is enabled whereby access to the
predefined universal mobile telecommunication service is possible.
