Title: Apparatus and method for detection of defects using flux leakage techniques
Inventor: BRANDSTROM RANDEL
IPC: G01N27/82
Filed: 2006-04-26
Abstract: An apparatus for the detection of defects utilizing non-destructive flux leakage techniques in ferrous materials includes rare earth magnets which are supported at an angle in the order of 45 degrees with the surface of the test specimen to induce a magnetic field within the material. The angled arrangement draws the field into the specimen over a larger surface area, reducing reluctance and ensuring that the field does not shallow within the material. The device provides real-time, three dimensional, visual feedback to the user and includes built-in means for data storage and retrieval without the need for an external computer interface. A distance sensor is used to correct the signal from the sensor array for distance from the surface. A position analyzing device utilizes the magnetic field to determine the position of the apparatus along the surface of the test material, increasing the accuracy in position measurement during testing.

Patent CA-2569006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOURENCO JOSE
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2006-11-20
Abstract: A method to condense and recover carbon dioxide. A first step involve providing at more than one heat exchanger, with each heat exchanger having a first flow path for passage of a first fluid and a second flow path for passage of a second fluid. A second step involves passing a stream of very cold natural gas sequentially along the first flow path of each heat exchanger until it is heated for distribution and concurrently passing a gaseous stream rich in carbon dioxide sequentially along the second flow path of each heat exchanger, allowing a gaseous portion of the gaseous stream rich in carbon dioxide to pass to a next sequential heat exchanger and capturing in a collection vessel the condensed carbon dioxide. This processes results in a cryogenic heat exchange in which natural gas at Metering and Pressure Reduction Stations is first cooled by reducing its pressure through a gas expander or a pressure reducing valve and then heated in a series of stages and the gaseous stream rich in carbon dioxide stream is separated in a series of stages through sequential cryogenic carbon dioxide separation and recovery.

IPC: A61K31/4406
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: Patients susceptible to or suffering from conditions and disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, are treated by administering to a patient in need thereof compositions that are hydroxybenzoate salts of E-metanicotine-type compounds. The formation of hydroxybenzoate salts of the E-metanicotine compounds is also useful in purifying the E-metanicotine compounds, as the hydroxybenzoate salts tend to crystallize out, leaving impurities such as Z-metanicotine compounds, and compounds where the double bond has migrated, in solution. If desired, the hydroxybenzoate salts can be converted to either the free base (the E-metanicotine) or to another pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
