Abstract: Filtre (10, 36) pour caillots sanguins, déformable vers un axe longitudinal central et pouvant avoir une configuration affaissée afin de l'introduire dans un vaisseau sanguin (22), ce filtre étant expansible radialement vers l'extérieur depuis l'axe longitudinal vers la configuration déployée pour entrer en contact avec la paroi interne du vaisseau sanguin en deux points espacés longitudinalement. Une première pluralité de bras espacés et allongés (18, 38) dans la configuration déployée du filtre s'incurve vers l'extérieur en s'éloignant de l'axe longitudinal et en allant vers l'extrémité de fuite du filtre afin de former un premier panier de filtres (14, 40). Ces bras (18, 38) empêchent le mouvement du filtre dans un premier sens longitudinal. Une seconde pluralité de pieds espacés et allongés (24, 46) font un angle vers l'extérieur en s'éloignant de l'axe longitudinal vers le bord d'attaque du filtre dans sa configuration déployée. Ces seconds pieds (24, 46) forment un second panier de filtres (40) s'ouvrant vers le bord d'attaque et empêchent le mouvement longitudinal du filtre dans un second sens opposé au premier sens.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance fluid characterization apparatus and method for using with electric wireline formation testing instruments
Inventor: FORGANG STANISLAV W
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 1999-02-26
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: A method for characterizing a fluid sample withdrawn from an earth formation. The method includes performing nuclear magnetic resonant spin echo measurements on the fluid sample at a nuclear magnetic resonant frequency of carbon-13. Amplitudes of the spin echo measurements are summed. The summed measurements are spectrally analyzed. The fluid is characterized by determining whether aromatic hydrocarbons are present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 130 part per million shift from the carbon-13 frequency. The fluid is also characterized by determining whether aliphatic hydrocarbons re present by measuring an amplitude of the spectrally analyzed spin echo measurements at about 30 parts per million frequency shift.

Title: Method and apparatus for transmitting an internet protocol (ip) packet within a fiber optic network
Inventor: SAUNDERS ROSS ALEXANDER
IPC: H04B10/556
Filed: 1999-09-20
Granted: 2005-11-15
Abstract: An embodiment includes an optical source, an optical receiver, and an interconnecting optical fiber. A data sequence is received and encoded or formatted as an IP packet using an encoding format capable of returning a. signal representing the IP packet to a predetermined value at the beginning of each bit period of the IP packet at a physical layer of the network. The encoded IP packet is then transmitted directly over an optical layer of the network without adapting the IP packet to another encoding format or using an adaptation layer in the network (e.g., at a data link layer or higher). The optical receiver receives the IP packet and then a clock signal is extracted without the overhead and costs associated with additional adaptation or encoding of the IP packet. When the optical source is in an idle state, a mark-hold state (more generally called a filler signal) is formatted with the same encoding format and transmitted to the optical receiver directly over the optical layer in order to maintain a synchronous clock during the idle state.

Granted: 2002-11-12
Abstract: Defrost method for accurately defrosting food to be defrosted, regardless of frozen degree and presence/absence of receptacle for food to be defrosted. The defrosting method includes the steps of: determining an initial value by detecting a surface temperature of food to defrost; determining a defrost completion value in accordance with the initial value which is determined in the step of determining the initial value; detecting a current value of an infrared sensor at a regular time basis while driving a magnetron; and completing the defrosting process if the current value reaches the completion value. An output value of the infrared sensor is detected at a predetermined regular time basis while a rotatable tray for placing the food is rotated, and the initial value is obtained from the lowest output value among a plurality of output values which are detected. A gap between the initial value and the completion value is divided into at least two divisions, and a power rate of the magnetron is varied in accordance with the respective divisions. The power rate of the magnetron of the respective divisions, is decreased from the value which is closer to the initial value to the value which is closer to the completion value.

Patent CA-2314358-C (CA)
Inventor: HACHISUKA ICHIRO
IPC: B01J35/02
Filed: 1998-11-30
Granted: 2004-01-06
Abstract: A catalyst for purifying exhaust is prepared by mixing first powders in which at least Pt is loaded on a f first support and second powders in which at least Rh is loaded on a second support and loading NOx occluding material at least on the first support. In such catalyst, the second support is made of a stabilized zirconia stabilized by alkaline-earth metal or rare-earth element. The second support, having been become alkaline by the alkaline-earth metal or the rare-earth element, is excellent in absorbing performance of the steam (H2O), so that the steam reforming reaction by Rh advances sufficiently. Therefore, the created hydrogen greatly contributes to the reduction of NOx and to the sulfur poisoning prevention of the NOx occluding material. Also, the oxidizing ability of Pt is maintained high, Rh sufficiently exhibits the steam reforming reaction activity and the sulfur poisoning of NOx occluding material is restrained.

IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1998-02-18
Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: Percentage concentrations of constituents of a sample of cereal grain or other agricultural product in a flowing stream are determined while harvesting or processing using a short wave near infrared analyzer. The analyzer irradiates the sample, picks up diffuse reflectance of individual wavelengths from the sample and spatially separates the diffuse reflectance into a response at individual wavelengths. The result is to simultaneously detect the intensities of the individual wavelengths in parallel from the same portion of the product being analyzed. Percentage constituents of the composite substance may then be compared with known percentage constituents to determine the constituents. The analyzer is optically stabilized and is therefore suitable for attaching to the agricultural combine to perform real time measurements in the field.
