IPC: C23C22/78
Filed: 2002-01-04
Abstract: A method and biological cleaning system are provided for cleaning substrate surfaces of oils and/or greases using a biological cleaning system which utilizes a pre-treatment bath and/or post-treatment bath as part of the cleaning system. The pre-treatment and/or post-treatment baths are compatible with the biological cleaning bath and during operation of the system, the used pre-treatment and/or post-treatment baths are recycled to the biological cleaning solution for biodegradation. A system is provided in which none of the pre-treatment, post-treatment or biological cleaning baths need expensive waste disposal. Replenishment pre-treatment and/or post-treatment baths as well as biological cleaning baths are added as needed to the biological cleaning system. Other treatment baths may be added directly to the biological cleaning bath with or without pre- or post-treatment for specific purposes such as a detergent phosphating bath used in the biological cleaning tank to provide a cleaned phosphated part.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des récipients destinés à fournir des concentrés de dialysat liquide pour un traitement par dialyse d'un patient à l'aide d'un rein artificiel. Jusqu'à présent, on a fourni des concentrés de ce type principalement dans des récipients en plastique rigide étant donné que le poids du concentré exige une certaine stabilité du récipient. Des récipients de ce type simplifient aussi l'expédition de grandes quantités puisqu'ils peuvent être disposés facilement en couches les uns sur les autres. Ces récipients rigides présentent l'inconvénient que, à cause de leur rigidité, ils sont comparativement chers étant donné que les parois des récipients doivent être suffisamment épaisses, ce qui entraîne des dépenses matérielles supérieures. Par ailleurs, les récipients vides sont encombrants, rendant le traitement ultérieur difficile. La grande quantité de matériau à recycler ou jeter augmente le coût. L'invention évite ces inconvénients en proposant un récipient rempli d'un concentré de dialysat liquide qui est un sac autoportant (1) fait de feuilles élastomères souples.

IPC: F16L1/20
Filed: 2009-01-29
Abstract: A flexible bag-type pipeline weight, configured to straddle a pipeline, has internal tie means to prevent excessive bulging of the weight after being filled with ballasting material, thus facilitating installation in narrow trenches. Built-in loading loops facilitate filling the weight with ballasting material without need for special loading equipment.  The bag-type pipeline weight is formed with a pair of leg sections on either side of a central, pipeline-receiving recess. Once filled with ballast, the legs remain separated, thus facilitating installation on a pipeline. The filled pipeline weight is also freestanding and stable for purposes of transport and storage prior to installation.  Hoisting slings facilitate lifting and manipulation of loaded pipeline weights without the need for spreader bars.

Title: Electromechanical tension stabilizer
Inventor: FUKS VLADIMIR
IPC: B65G15/60
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: Flexible elastic element, used as a vehicle for transportation of a bulk material, accumulates tension during passing at each supporting point along its length.  Over certain number of the supporting points the tension in the flexible elastic element could reach its technical limitations. This tension can be maintained at the acceptable level by using an intermediate drives. The intermediate drive moves the flexible elastic element by wrapping around the drive pulley. This requires certain level of the initial tension force. Lack of sufficient initial tension could cause slipping of the flexible elastic element on the drive pulley surface. This slipping effect can be avoided by continuous monitoring and adjustment of the initial tension. Without continuous adjustment of the initial tension force the irrational power sharing between the drives could take place and as result of it, inability of the flexible elastic element to handle the design capacity.

Title: Method for determining physiological effects of hemoglobin
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61K35/18
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: NO preferentially binds to the minor population of the hemoglobin's vacant hemes in a copperative manner, nitrosylates hemoglobin thiols, or reacts with liberated superoxide in solution. The distribution of minor forms of hemoglobin can be tested and the results can be used to predict whether a composition of hemoglobin will scavenge, load, eliminate, or donate NO. Hemoglobin thus serves to regulate the chemistry of NO. SNO-hemoglobin transfers NO equivalents to the red blood cell anion transport protein AE1, which serves to export NO from red blood cells.  Regulation of AE1 function is the basis for methods of therapy to affect levels of NO  or its biological equivalent.
