Patent NO-996470-D0 (NO)
Inventor: DARWICHE MAHMOUD K M
IPC: E02B17/08
Filed: 1999-12-23
Abstract: A locking mechanism is disclosed for use on the legs of a jack-up offshore platform. Each chord of the legs includes a rack for cooperation with pinions used in raising and lowering the legs. The locking mechanism of the invention includes a rigid frame attached to the hull of the platform and housing a plurality of vertically aligned toothed chock segments adapted to engage the teeth of the rack on a leg. The chock segments have upper and lower inclined surfaces which cooperate with upper and lower movable wedges for supporting the chock segments. The design makes the chock segments sufficiently adjustable for independent alignment and engagement of the teeth of each chock segment with the corresponding teeth of the rack. Dimensional variances in the rack teeth spacing, resulting from manufacturing tolerances, thereby are accommodated and force concentrations between the rack teeth and chock teeth are minimized. Subsequent engagement and retention of the supporting wedges securely locks the chock segments into mating engagement with the rack teeth, to thereby lock the platform legs in place.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus and method
IPC: G01R33/62
Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: The Overhauser effect is a technique for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of nuclear magnetic resonance signals. Electron spin resonance is set up for example in a contrast agent 14 injected into a patient by means of a transmitter 3 at the end of a probe 1 to excite an area 15. The excited electrons couple to MR active nuclei and increase the population in the higher energy level. Then, when an NMR signal is transmitted and received via coil 5, more MR active nuclei return to the ground state and create a bigger, enhanced, signal detected by the coil 5, hence promoting increased signal-to-noise ratio on an image formed on the monitor 9. In the invention, the Overhauser effect may be applied to an intraoperative situation by means of probe 1 which is inserted, for example, into a patient in a region of interest. According to a preferred feature, the transmitter 3 is also used for heat treatment such as ablation by means of oscillator 16 in order to destroy diseased tissue, and the temperature dependence of the enhanced NMR signal, corrected for migration of the contrast agent by the ESR signal reflected back along the central conductor 3 into the detector 13, is used to control the temperature and hence the heat treatment operation.
Patent GB-0122393-D0 (GB)
Title: Treating metal surfaces to enhance bio-compatibility
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: Described is a method of treating an article having at its surface oxide or hydroxide moieties, as well as the resulting treated article. The method includes priming the surface of the article by contact with an alkoxysilane in an aprotic organic solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst so that the alkoxysilane reacts with the oxide or hydroxide moieties of the surface. This yields a primed surface. A polymer is then reacted with one or more amino, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid and/or acid anhydride groups on the surface to covalently couple the polymer to the primed surface via the alkoxysilane. The reaction with the polymer is not a free-radical reaction.
