Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un procédé et à un appareil d'identification de marquage de sécurité. On utilise, dans le cadre de cette invention, le chiffrement de l'information et un échantillon biométrique prélevé sur une personne. Ce procédé permet d'identifier de manière satisfaisante et en toute fiabilité un dispositif de marquage. Ce procédé et l'appareil correspondant permettent de procéder à une double vérification de l'identité du propriétaire du dispositif de marquage. La première vérification repose sur le fait que le propriétaire doit connaître le mot de passe d'une clef utilisée pour le chiffrement de l'information stockée dans le dispositif de marquage et la seconde repose sur le fait que l'échantillon biométrique prélevé sur la personne doit correspondre à un code d'échantillon biométrique stocké dans le dispositif de marquage ou à une information dérivée de ce code.

Title: Adjustable harvest material transport assembly for moving the material from a pick-up to a processor inlet
Inventor: JOSSET ETIENNE
IPC: A01D90/04
Filed: 2001-05-14
Granted: 2005-07-12
Abstract: The problem on which the invention is based can be seen in the fact that known measures aim to remove or eliminate rather than prevent obstructions or peak loads, or require a large adjustment of the crop guide wall forming part of transport assembly which also includes a tined rotor, together with a rotor stripper, which cooperate to move harvest material from the pick-up to the inlet of a baling chamber. The problem is solved by various embodiments for moving one or more of the guide wall, rotor or stripper for effecting adjustments narrowing or expanding the cross section of a guide channel for the harvest material defined in part by the guide wall, rotor and stripper. These adjustments can be done manually or with power and can be made in response to computer generated information or command signals resulting from collected and/or stored data indicating various conditions of the harvested material.

Title: Method of removing water and contaminants from crude oil containing same
Inventor: KRESNYAK STEVE
IPC: B01D17/00
Filed: 2001-12-11
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: A method for contaminant and water removal from crude oil. The method involves recirculating at least a portion of the dewatered crude into a dehydrator. The dehydrator contains a heated dehydrated crude oil and the surface or adjacent thereto is maintained at a temperature sufficient to vaporize any water contacting the surface from crude oil to be treated in the dehydrator. It has been found important to maintain a substantially uniform temperature at or below the vaporizing surface in order to effectively treat crude oil for dewatering purposes. Significant temperature fluctuations are typically realized by dehydrators since heat enthalpy is removed in order to vaporize the water in the crude oil. Such fluctuations lead to process complications and upset and are therefore undesirable. The instant invention recognizes this limitation and substantially reduces foaming and provides for a smoothly running and efficient dehydration process.

Title: Heart assist system
Inventor: ALDEA GABRIEL
IPC: A61M60/408
Filed: 2000-03-15
Granted: 2004-05-25
Abstract: An extracardiac pumping system (10) for supplementing the circulation of blood, including the cardiac output, in a patient without any component thereof being connected to the patient's heart. One embodiment and application of the extracardiac system comprises a pump (32) that may be implanted subcutaneously at or about the patient's femoral artery in a minimally-invasive procedure, wherein the pump is powered by a battery (44) and a mechanism for charging the battery extracorporeally, whereby the pump draws blood through an inflow conduit (50) fluidly coupled to the patient's femoral artery via, for example, a subcutaneous anastomosis connection, and discharges blood through an outflow conduit (52) fluidly coupled to a second peripheral artery via, for example, a subcutaneous anastomosis connection. The pump may be operated in continuous flow mode, or in a pulsatile fashion synchronous with the patient's heart, thereby potentially reducing the afterload of the heart.  The conduits (50, 52) can be placed in fluid communication with a multi-lumen catheter (510) for single point application of the system to the patient. If desired, a reservoir (410) may be provided fluidly communicating with the inflow conduit. The system may also comprise a device (402) for maintaining at or near body temperature the blood travelling extracorporeally within the system. If further desired, the present system may be carried directly on the patient with a device (610) that holds at least the pump and is carried by a belt or a shoulder strap.

Inventor: NORMAN MONICA
IPC: C09K8/92
Filed: 2000-11-13
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and related compositions for altering the physical and chemical properties of a substrate used in hydrocarbon exploitation, such as in downhole drilling operations. In a preferred embodiment a method involves formulating a fluid, tailored to the specific drilling conditions, that contains one or more inactivated enzymes. Preferably the enzyme is inactivated by encapsulation in a pH responsive material. After the fluid has been introduced into the well bore, one or more triggering signals, such as a change in pH, is applied to the fluid that will activate or reactivate the inactivate enzyme, preferably by causing it to be released by the encapsulation material. The reactivated enzyme is capable of selectively acting upon a substrate located downhole to bring about the desired change in the chemical or physical properties of the substrate.

Abstract: A dimmer control system has a communication control loop that connects a master unit in series with a plurality of remote units, and it is superimposed in series on the dimmer load line so as to allow two-way communication between the master unit and remote units without affecting the operation of the load. Communications from the master to the remote units are encoded in loop current fluctuations, whereas communications from any remote to the master unit are encoded in loop voltage fluctuations. The master unit has a switched power supply, for use during normal LOAD ON operation, in tandem with a capacitive power supply, for use during LOAD OFF operation of the control units so as to minimize hum. The master unit power supply circuit provides an output rail voltage comprised of a reference voltage for the load superimposed with a control loop voltage for the voltage drop across the series-connected remote units. The master unit has a POWER OFF detection circuit and a non-volatile memory for storing system status information, so that when power is restored, the system can be restored to its former power level. The switch units are formed with a cover frame mounting a switch plate on a hinge axis allowing ON/OFF movement of an opposing side thereof. An array of LED light pipes is mounted in the switch plate aligned with the hinge axis, in order to minimize displacement of the light pipes during actuator movement.
