Title: Procede destine a reguler des depots sur la surface interne d'un pipeline
Inventor: GALLAGHER CHRISTOPHER T
IPC: F17D3/01
Filed: 2003-07-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à réguler les accumulations de matériau à l'intérieur d'un pipeline. Le procédé de l'invention comprend l'utilisation d'un réseau de capteurs de température disposé le long de la partie externe d'un pipeline, qui mesure le taux auquel la chaleur variant avec le temps passe à travers la paroi du pipeline. Les zones à taux de perte de chaleur inférieure sont les zones au niveau desquelles les matériaux soit étaient déposés sur la paroi du pipeline, soit à l'endroit où une phase plus dense de matériau a été accumulée dans le pipeline. En se basant sur la différence des taux de transfert de chaleur, les modèles peuvent être préparés en vue de permettre la distinction entre les compositions de matériaux accumulés.

Title: Apparatus and method for tissue resection
Inventor: MORRIS DAVID L
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2003-07-11
Abstract: A tissue ablation system is described that generates a uniform avascular plane of coagulated tissue to aid in the bloodless or near-bloodless resection of various biological tissues from a variety of organs. The tissue ablation system includes an energy director guide and two or more sets of bipolar energy directors. The energy director guide includes a series of channels that configure the energy directors to provide approximately uniform power distribution or current density through a target tissue volume or plane causing the tissue volume to become hemostatic. The spacing among the channels of the energy director guide varies according to the total number of energy directors received in the energy director guide so that relative spacing among the center-most channels is largest and relative spacing among the end-most channels is smallest. The energy director guide secures a selected position of each of the energy directors in the target tissue volume.

Title: Vessel sealing system using capacitive rf dielectric heating
Inventor: BAHNEY TIMOTHY J
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: An electrosurgical system for sealing vessels using capacitive (RF) dielectric heating and a method thereof are provided. The system includes an electrosurgical instrument having an end effector with parallel plate electrodes that will clamp onto a vessel and maintain a specified gap distance; however, the electrodes will be coated with a non-conductive dielectric material. Such an end effector will ensure that direct conduction between the electrodes does not occur through tissue or fluids and effectively creates a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric, e.g., tissue and coating, in between the plates. The electrosurgical instrument will be activated with an AC signal at a specified RF frequency, e.g., a Debye resonance frequency, via an electrosurgical generator. An effective AC current will flow through the tissue and cause heating due to fictional losses from rotating polar molecules in the tissue.

Title: Air compressor with inlet control mechanism and automatic inlet control mechanism
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES
IPC: F04B49/03
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: An automatic inlet control mechanism and air compressor unit include a valve cavity and valve outlet. The valve cavity includes a valve control chamber and valve inlet chamber. A valve piston assembly is positioned between the valve control chamber and the valve inlet chamber to prevent the flow of air between therebetween. The valve outlet allows air to flow from the valve inlet chamber into the compressor unit. The valve piston assembly prevents air from flowing from the valve inlet chamber to the valve outlet when the compressor unit is not drawing air. A vent passageway allows air to flow between the valve control chamber and the compression cylinder inlet when compression is begun at the start-up of the compressor unit or at the loading of the idling compressor unit. A vent orifice restricts the flow of air from the valve control chamber to the compression cylinder inlet.

Abstract: An improved blind cutting machine has a work surface on which a blind to be cut is placed and at least one end stop against which an end of the blind to be cut rests prior to being cut by a cutting mechanism. An actuator is connected to the end stop. The actuator moves the end stop relative to the work surface and the cutting mechanism in response to signals from a controller. An operator enters information about the blind to be cut and the dimensions of an opening over which the blind to be cut is to be mounted into the controller. The controller then calculates the location where the end stop should be so that a sufficient amount of material can be trimmed from an end of the blind to be cut to enable the blind to fit the opening. Then the controller sends a signal to the actuator that causes the actuator to move the end stop to that location. In alternative embodiments the end stop is fixed and the actuator moves the cutting mechanism or a work surface on which the blind to be cut has been placed.
