Title: Apparatus for temporarily engaging body tissue
Inventor: DAIGLE TOM P
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: An improved tissue engagement device such as a suction stabilizer or retractor is provided with one or more suction pods (22) mounted to the distal end of a flexible arm (20). The flexible arm is coupled to a base assembly (24) that includes a fixed portion, which is coupled to a rotatable turret, allowing rotation of the arm relative to the fixed portion of the base assembly. A tensioning mechanism mounted to the turret applies tension to rotationally lock the turret and to lock the arm in its current configuration. If the device is a suction stabilizer, it may carry a spreading/tightening mechanism (21) along with two suction pods (22) and the tensioning mechanism may lock the relative location of the spreading/tightening mechanism relative to the arm. If the device is a suction retractor, the tensioning mechanism may lock a pivotably mounted carrier for a single enlarged suction pod so that the suction pod is held in its desired orientation relative to the arm.

Title: Method for high-temperature distillation of residual oil in a limited time
Inventor: WEISS HANS-JURGEN
IPC: C10G70/04
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a high temperature short-time distillation of residual oil. The method according to the invention is characterized by a technically simple recovery of a small residual fraction from a gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by a mixing apparatus (1). Said small residual fraction contains large quantities of undesirable polluting catalytic substances (CCR, Ni, V, asphaltenes). For this purpose, the gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by the mixing apparatus (1) is diluted with gas or water vapour in a column (17) at a temperature of 450° C. in such a way that a high boiling fraction, which has a high content of the pollutant substances and whose initial boiling point is higher than 450° C., is condensed and extracted. Another realization of the method consists in introducing a non condensed oil produced in the column (17) into a fractionating column (19), where said oil is decomposed in order to produce a depressurized gas oil fraction having a low content of pollutants and a benzine/gas oil fraction.
