IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2009-06-22
Abstract: Method for evaluating fluid flow in a heterogeneous medium, using a hybrid mesh built from a structured CPG-type mesh and a radial mesh.  The first step consists in locally deforming the CPG-type grid mesh into a non-uniform Cartesian grid.  These local deformations of the meshes correspond to the passage of a benchmark said to be CPG to a benchmark said to be Cartesian defined by the deformation.  These deformations are then quantified by a deformation function .phi., and applied to the radial mesh to get to the Cartesian benchmark.  The second step consists in locally correcting the definition of this deformation function around the radial mesh, so that the radial mesh, in the Cartesian benchmark, keeps its geometric characteristics necessary to the generation of the transition mesh.  Next, in the corrected Cartesian grid, a hybrid mesh is generated based on the two meshes thus deformed.  Finally, this hybrid mesh is deformed to return to the CPG benchmark, using the reverse deformation function .phi..  Application to the study of hydrocarbon deposits, for example.

IPC: A61B17/58
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: The present invention provides devices, systems and methods for anchoring medical devices to hard tissues, such as bones or bony structures, particularly vertebrae. By anchoring these medical devices directly to the surrounding hard tissue, the devices are anchored closer to the source of treatment. This provides additional stability and reduces migration of the device at the treatment site. Also, by attaching to hard tissue rather than soft tissue, a stronger attachment is often able to be made.

Each of the heat recovery unit and the reheater has a heat exchanger tube, and a circulation line is disposed to connect the heat exchanger tubes . A sulfur trioxide (SO3) removing agent is supplied to the upstream side of the heat recovery unit, and the temperature of the exhaust gas at the exit of the heat recovery unit is adjusted to not more than a dew point of sulfur trioxide. As the sulfur trioxide removing agent, use is preferably made of at least one among a sulfur trioxide adsorbent, a sulfur trioxide reducing agent, and a sulfur trioxide neutralizing agent . Thus, even when coal with a high sulfur content is used as fuel, heavymetals contained in the exhaust gas can be removed effectively from the exhaust gas .
