Abstract: An improved electrosurgical instrument and method is disclosed for simplifying making incisions and other treatments using electrosurgery. The electrosurgical instrument comprises a body having more than two electrodes with at least two electrodes having alternating current power supplied to them such that they comprise a bipolar alternating current configuration and employ a means other than electrode spacing, composition, or geometry for reducing or preventing accumulation of eschar that would otherwise form a short circuit current path and interfere with obtaining a predetermined surgical effect. In one aspect, such means for reducing or preventing eschar accumulation consists of at least one other electrode having a direct current voltage between it and at least one of the two electrodes forming the alternating current bipolar configuration. In another aspect of the invention two or more pairs of alternating current electrodes comprising bipolar electrodes are powered with alternating current having a nonzero RMS voltage sufficient to at least reduce eschar accumulations on one electrode or induce electrolysis of at least one component of a medium surrounding at least one pair of bipolar electrodes. The electrodes are separated from each other using electrically insulating materials such that electric current does not flow between at least two of the bipolar alternating current electrodes unless they contact at least one other electrically conductive medium, such as patient tissue or a medium comprising at least in part a solid, liquid, gas, or ionized component that allows electric current to flow between electrodes. In the aspect where at least one electrode is powered by direct current the electrodes are configured such that electrical current does not flow between at least one of the bipolar alternating current electrodes and at least one of the direct current electrodes unless one or more media, such as patient tissue or a medium comprising at least in part a solid, liquid, gas, or ionized component that allows electric current to flow between electrodes, are contacting or adjacent to the electrodes having a direct current voltage difference between them. The assembly comprised of the electrodes and the separating insulating materials may also employ one or more means to reduce the current flowing between them that does not produce a desired predetermined surgical effect with one aspect of such means being using an outer insulating coating configured such that one or more portions of at least one of the bipolar alternating electrodes are insulated while leaving exposed other portions of such insulated electrodes so that they are capable of being in electrical communication with tissue or at least one material in electrical communication with tissue.

Abstract: A method for fore-aft stabilization of a vehicle for motion in a specified direction over an underlying surface. The vehicle has at least one forward wheel and at least one aft wheel, and the forward wheel is characterized by a force normal to the instantaneous direction of motion of the vehicle. A motor actuator drives each aft wheel, and a controller governs the motor actuator or motor actuators in such a manner as to dynamically stabilize the vehicle, according to a uniform control law, when the forward wheel is in contact with the underlying surface or not. A torque is applied to the aft wheel on the basis of vehicle pitch or the force on the forward wheel normal to the direction of motion. Additionally, a periodic rotational modulation may be applied to the aft wheel, and a stabilizing torque provided based on a detected response, either of vehicle pitch or of normal force on the front wheel. Left and right motor actuators may independently control left and right aft wheels to continue turns as governed by user steering, whether or not forward wheels are in contact with the ground.

Title: Critical phase alkylation process
Inventor: BULTER JAMES R
IPC: C07C15/073
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: A process for the production of ethylbenzene by the ethylation of benzene in the critical phase in a reaction zone containing a molecular sieve aromatic alkylation catalyst comprising cerium-promoted zeolite beta. A  polyethylbenzene is supplied into the reaction zone and into contact with the cerium-promoted zeolite beta having a silica/alumina mole ratio within the range of 20-500. The reaction zone is operated at temperature and pressure conditions in which benzene is in the supercritical phase to cause ethylation of the benzene and the transalkylation of polyethylbenzene and benzene in the presence of the zeolite beta catalyst. An alkylation product is produced containing ethylbenzene as a primary product with the attendant production of heavier alkylated byproducts of no more than 60 wt.% of the ethylbenzene. The alkylation reaction zone is operated under conditions providing a composite byproduct yield of propyl benzene and butyl benzene relative to ethylbenzene, which is no more than one half of the corresponding yield byproduct for zeolite beta promoted with lanthanum. The production of ethylbenzene in the critical phase alkylation reaction zone is attended by recycle of a polyalkylated aromatic component of the reaction product back to the reaction zone.

Patent CA-2615439-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of purifying hydrocarbons and regeneration of adsorbents used therein
Inventor: WU FRANCIS S
IPC: C10L3/06
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: An improved method is provided for removing contaminants from a hydrocarbon stream, such as a stream of raw natural gas. The contaminated hydrocarbon stream is passed through a first adsorbent bed containing molecular sieves to adsorb contaminants on the molecular sieves, thereby removing at least some of the contaminants from the hydrocarbon stream. The contaminated hydrocarbon stream may optionally be passed through a second adsorbent bed containing a desiccant material other than molecular sieves. The molecular sieves are regenerated using a wet regeneration process in which both the water content and temperature of the regeneration fluid stream are staged. The molecular sieves and the desiccant material can also be regenerated by contacting the desiccant material with a regeneration fluid stream comprising water to adsorb at least a portion of the water onto the desiccant material, thereby forming a regeneration fluid stream that is at least partially dried and in contact with a desiccant material that is at least partially hydrated. The hydrated desiccant material is heated to release adsorbed water into the partially dried regeneration fluid stream while such regeneration fluid stream is passed through the molecular sieves to desorb and remove at least a portion of the contaminants adsorbed on the molecular sieves. A method for producing liquefied natural gas employing such improved method is also disclosed.
