Patent CA-2347420-C (CA)
Inventor: VAN TASSELL JON E
IPC: G02B7/28
Filed: 1999-09-13
Granted: 2004-11-09
Abstract: A variable focus optical system is particularly suitable for use in acquiring digital images for subsequent processing in a hand held, omnidirectional symbology or bar code reader (12) by which linear and two dimensional (matrix, maxi-code) bar codes (28; 34; 40; 52; 54) may be imaged over relatively long working distances. The imaging system includes a focusing objective taking lens (92) and a two-dimensional photodetector (93) that operate to form an image of an object such as a bar code in X and Y directions simultaneously and generates an electrical signal representative of the object or code for subsequent downstream processing. Focusing is achieved via a rotating disk (94) that carries a plurality of optical shims (130) or other light controlling surfaces to provide for different focus zones. A through-the-lens (TTL) targeting system is provided to visually assist the user in positioning the system for a variety of objects to assure that an object will be captured within the field of view and be sharply imaged on the photodetector (93) when the lens (92) is focused. Two different forms of artificial illumination are provided to accommodate nearby objects that may be either specular or partially diffuse and more distant objects where the reflection characteristics have less impact on image contrast. Ranging through the lens (92) using elements of the photodetector (93) is included to provide information to set the focus of the objective lens (92) in one of many possible focusing zones.

Abstract: Improved methods for delivering to a patient in need of the drug, while avoiding the occurrence of an adverse side effect known or suspected of being caused by the drug are disclosed. The methods are of the type in which prescriptions for the drug are filled only after a computer readable storage medium has been consulted to assure that the prescriber, pharmacy and patient have been properly registered in the medium before the patient is approved to receive the drug. Embodiments are provided wherein the patients are assigned to risk groups based upon the risk that taking the drug will lead to the side effect, and certain additional information, such as periodic surveys and diagnostic tests probative of the ongoing risk of the side effect developing are obtained before prescriptions for the drug are approved.

Title: Method for producing ammonia on the basis of a nitrogen-hydrogen mixture from natural gas
Inventor: DAVEY WILLIAM
IPC: C01B3/02
Filed: 2001-10-24
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing ammonia on the basis of a nitrogen-hydrogen mixture from natural gas. To this end, natural gas is fed to an autothermic reformer together with an O2 rich gas. A crude synthesis gas is produced at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1200 ~C, a pressure of 40 to 100 bar and in the presence of a cracking catalyst. Said gas, in the dry state, has a H2 content of from 55 to 75 vol.- %, a CO content of from 15 to 30 vol.- %, a CO2 content of from 5 to 30 vol.- % and a volume ratio H2:CO of 1.6 to 4. The crude synthesis gas leaving the reformer is cooled, led through a catalytic conversion system to convert CO to H2, thereby obtaining a conversion synthesis gas with a H2 content, in the dry state, of at least 55 vol.- % and a CO content of not more than 8 vol.- %. The conversion synthesis gas is subjected to a multi-step gas purification to remove CO2, CO and CH4, thereby producing an N2-H2 mixture that is subjected to an ammonia synthesis to catalytically produce ammonia. The ammonia produced by said ammonia synthesis can at least be partially converted to urea by reacting it with CO2.
