Abstract: A catheter having expandable electrodes for applying energy to a hollow anatomical structure such as a vein. When used on a vein, the catheter is useful for a minimally invasive treatment of venous insufficiency. The catheter includes conductive end rings to which the electrodes are attached, for mechanically connecting and electrically tying electrodes together to provide for single wire electrical connection points, for transmitting energy while more evenly spacing the electrodes. Expandable arms are formed of electrically conductive material and insulated along their length except for an intermediate section that functions as the electrode. The arms are tapered to allow more room for wiring and to reduce the possibility of shorting between the ends of the arms. The catheter further includes thermocouples in the electrodes for measuring temperatures on the outer surface of the electrode. Slots are formed in the arms for mounting the thermocouples. The temperature at the hollow anatomical structure is monitored and if a rapid, large temperature decrease of short duration is noted, the power is maintained constant as a fluid flush has been detected.

Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for detecting impending earthquakes includes at least one sensor, and preferably multiple sensors, for mounting on a building or other like structure, and include a transducer for converting vibration signals to electronic impulses. The signals are transmitted to a solid state detection circuit, which distinguishes between extraneous signals and signals indicative of the P-waves which signal an impending earthquake. Discrimination between relevant and non-relevant may be achieved by selecting a minimum amplitude and duration of signals within a selected frequency range, and triggering an alarm when the selected minimums are exceeded. Where multiple sensors are deployed, temporal overlap between selected signals can be assessed for further discrimination.

Abstract: Artificial Insemination is achieved for sexed mammalian offspring in a commercially practical manner and with dosages of insemination sperm which were not previously thought to be practical for commercial implementation. Improved insemination systems particularly adapted to use for sex-selected sperm sorting include systems which achieve superovulation and then multiple embryo production with sexed embryos. These systems combine with other techniques, including techniques for enhanced sheath fluid (3) and other strategies which minimize stress on the sperm cells (18), and potentially, a 2.9 percent sodium citrate sheath solution for bovine species and a hepes bovine gamete media for equine species. Improved collection systems (14) and techniques for the process are describeb so that commercial application of sperm samples as well as the resulting animals may now be achieved in the field.

Abstract: The injection molding process, using a material which is primarily of vegetable origin, initially heats it to a viscous liquid state or a pulp, to be injected under pressure into the mold. The primary material is an oilcake of sunflower or rape seed which has oil extracted so that the oil content is ≤ 25 wt.%. The moisture content is set at 2-40%. The granules have an average dia. of 0.1-1.2 mm, and the protein content of the fibers is evenly distributed. The oilcake has a max. 2 wt.% of oil, as a result of the attrition of the sunflower or rape seeds. The material has a hydration of 2-15%, to be heated to a temp. of 110-200 degrees C, to be pressed into a cold mold or at a mold temp. of ≤ 65 degrees C. Where the material has a hydration of 20-40%, it is heated to a temp. of 30-100 degrees C and pressed into a hot mold with a temp. of 90-140 degrees C. The sunflower or rape seeds are used without husks. The oilcake is enriched with vegetable proteins. The granules have an average dia. of 0.2-0.7 mm with a cut dia. of 0.8 mm. The material is homogenized and oil extracted partially in a twin-screw extruder. The extruder, from upstream to downstream, has an injector (6,7) for water and/or an alcohol solvent, a crushing zone (Z2) with at least one kneading crusher (8), a zone of crushing pressure (Z3), a bleed (11,12) for the liquid phase, at least one reverse pitch module (10) to apply an axial compression to the solid material, and an extrusion opening (14) for the solid matter.

Abstract: A remote emissions sensing system is provided with NO<SUB>x </SUB>detection capability. First, a reading of the ambient NO<SUB>x </SUB>concentration is taken just prior to each vehicle passing through the system. This measurement accounts for any ambient NO<SUB>x </SUB>concentration that may be lingering from the exhaust of a previous vehicle. Next, the system takes a blocked reading when the vehicle is located in the path of the beam. This reading accounts for any ambient or system noise that may exist. Finally, the system takes a reading of the exhaust plume as the beam passes through the plume. A processor determines the portion of the reading due to the exhaust plume by subtracting the ambient and blocked readings from the exhaust plume reading. As a result, a more accurate exhaust concentration reading is provided. Additionally, the system may process exhaust plume readings only in a predetermined wavelength band associated with the known absorption spectrum of NO<SUB>x </SUB>so that data points for which there is no significant absorption of NO<SUB>x </SUB>may be eliminated. Thus, any noise or other interference in the non-absorptive wavelengths are minimized. Also, changes in the intensity of the radiation are compensated by subtracting a baseline intensity from each signal.
