Patent EP-1967260-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DECOURCY MICHAEL STANLEY
IPC: B01J8/00
Filed: 2008-02-28
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for efficiently dislodging and extracting at least a portion of solid materials from one or more reactor tubes of shell-and-tube reactors without damage to at least a portion of the solid materials which would otherwise render the solid materials unsuitable for reuse. The apparatus has at least one rod, a rotator assembly for rotating the rod, and a transmission assembly for applying an axially-directed force to insert the rod into a corresponding reactor tube and dislodging solid materials therein. The rod is also in fluid communication with an aspirator for extraction of dislodged solid materials. When the apparatus has more than one rod, they are arranged in a configuration matching the pattern of the reactor tubes and each rod is in axial alignment with a corresponding reactor tube. The method involves the steps of inserting one or more rods into corresponding reactor tubes, dislodging at least a portion of the solid materials, while minimizing damage to the solid materials or the tubes by rotating and applying an axially directed force to the rods as they contact the solid materials. The dislodged solid materials are then extracted from the reactor tubes. The method may further involve tracking and communicating the completed steps for each reactor tube by placing and replacing indicators on the reactor tubes, thereby enabling an operator to determine which step to perform next.

Abstract: A telephone relay apparatus stores peripheral telephone numbers of a plurality of peripheral telephone terminals scheduled to be located at the periphery of each specific terminal user. When a line connecting request from an outgoing telephone terminal of an arbitrary telephone outgoing user to a specific telephone terminal is received, connection of a telephone call execution line from the outgoing telephone terminal to the specific telephone terminal is tried. Therefore, when the connection is connected, a telephone call between the telephone outgoing user and the specific terminal user can be immediately made. However, when the telephone call execution line to the specific telephone terminal is not connected, the peripheral telephone terminal is selected in a transfer trying order, and connection of the telephone call execution line is tried with the peripheral telephone numbers in the transfer trying order.

Abstract: An organ perfusion apparatus and method monitor, sustain and/or restore viability of organs and preserver organs for storage and/or transport. Other apparatus include an organ transporter, an organ cassette and an organ diagnostic device. The method includes perfusing the organ at hypothermic and/or normothermic temperatures, preferably after hypothermic organ flushing for organ transport and/or storage. The method can be practiced with prior or subsequent static or perfusion hypothermic exposure of the organ. Organ viability is restored by restoring high energy nucleotide (e.g., ATP) levels by perfusing the organ with a medical fluid, such as an oxygeneted cross-linked hemoglobin-based bicarbonate medical fluid, at normothermic temperatures. In perfusion, organ perfusion pressure is preferably controlled in response to a sensor disposed in an end of tubuing placed in the organ, by a pneumatically pressurized medical fluid reservoir, providing perfusion pressure fine tuning, overpressurization preventing and emergency flow cut-off. In the hypothermic mode, the organ is perfused with a medical fluid, preferably a simple crystalloid solution containing antioxidants, intermittently or in slow continuous flow. The medical fluid may be fed into the organ from an intermediary tank having a low pressure head to avoid organ overpressurization. Preventing overpressurization prevents or reduces damage to vascular endothelial lining and to organ tissue in general. Viability of the organ may be automatically monitored, preferably by monitoring characteristics of the medical fluid perfusate. The perfusion process can be automatically controlled using a control program.
