Title: Medical vial adapter with reduced diameter cannula and enlarged vent lumen
Inventor: WALSH MARY K
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2006-12-22
Granted: 2014-07-29
Abstract: A vented vial adapter for reconstitution of a medicament in a vial includes a vent lumen and a medicament lumen.  The vent lumen has a cross-sectional area equal to or greater than that of the medicament lumen so that the fluid flow rate through the vent lumen is equal to or greater than that of the medicament lumen. As a result aerosols of the medicament outside the adapter are avoided as is the withdrawal of air bubbles from the vial as the reconstituted medicament is withdrawn from the vial. To maintain the diameter of the sharpened cannula of the vial adapter as small as possible, the vent lumen includes a concave wall facing the medicament lumen and a convex outer wall. In one embodiment, the vent lumen is in the shape of a polygon.

Title: Agglomerated zeolitic adsorbents, their method of preapration and their uses
Inventor: BOUVIER LUDIVINE
IPC: B01J20/18
Filed: 2007-07-13
Granted: 2012-03-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to agglomerated zeolitic adsorbents based on zeolite X with an Si/Al ratio such that 1.15 < Si/Al £ 1.5, consisting of crystals with a mean diameter of 1.7 mm or less and of an inert binder, at least 90% of the exchangeable cationic sites of the zeolite X being occupied by barium ions. They may be obtained by agglomerating zeolite X powder having a mean diameter of 1.7 mm or less with a binder, followed by zeolitization of the binder, exchange of the zeolite ions with barium (and potassium) ions and activation of the adsorbents thus exchanged. These adsorbents exhibit, simultaneously, excellent selectivity, reduced mass transfer resistance and excellent mechanical strength and are particularly suitable for the adsorption of the paraxylene contained in C8 aromatic hydrocarbon fractions in liquid phase in processes of the simulated moving bed type and especially for the separation of paraxylene of C8 aromatic hydrocarbon fractions by adsorption, but also for the separation of sugars, polyhydric alcohols, cresols, and substitute toluene isomers.

Title: Procede et systeme de gestion d'energie d'impact
Inventor: FERRARA VINCENT R
IPC: A42B3/12
Filed: 2007-10-01
Granted: 2017-06-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure de protection absorbant les impacts comprenant une ou plusieurs cellules compressibles. Chaque cellule a la forme d'une enceinte en matière plastique à parois minces définissant une chambre intérieure remplie de fluide et pourvue d'au moins un petit orifice à travers lequel du fluide s'écoule de manière résistive. Chaque cellule comprend un mécanisme initialement résistif qui résiste à un aplatissement pendant la première phase d'un impact, et qui se déforme ensuite pour permettre au reste de l'impact d'être géré par la mise à l'air libre du fluide à travers l'orifice. Le mécanisme initialement résistif peut être mis en application en dotant la cellule de parois latérales semi-verticales d'une épaisseur appropriée, ou en combinant un anneau élastique pouvant être aplati avec la cellule. Après que le mécanisme initialement résistif se soit déformé suite à l'impact, le reste de l'impact est géré par la mise à l'air libre du fluide à travers l'orifice. Les propriétés des cellules peuvent être aisément conçues pour optimiser la réponse d'absorption d'impact de la cellule à une large gamme d'énergies d'impact.

Granted: 2013-12-17
Abstract: A method and a device for separation of a fluid in the liquid state comprising two liquids that are not mutually miscible, with different densities, wherein a first liquid is to be cleansed from a second liquid, whereby the fluid in the liquid state is conducted through a rotor where centrifugal separation of the second liquid from the first liquid takes place, and is then conducted into a tank (8), with the proportion of the second liquid being reduced to less than 5%, and by conducting the fluid, after centrifugal separation, through a restriction (9), whereby the pressure of the fluid in the liquid state is reduced, which causes portions of the fluid in the liquid state to evaporate so that further portions of the second liquid escape in the form of a gas which is conducted away, thereby further reducing the proportion of the second liquid in the outgoing fluid in the liquid state.
