Title: Sterile drape
Inventor: MCNEIRNEY JOHN C
IPC: A61B19/08
Filed: 1998-09-25
Granted: 2008-08-12
Abstract: A sterile drape (10) serving to preserve the sterile integrity of an operating field is disclosed. The drape (10) has a rigid optically clear window (14) which allows a visible light beam, such as a laser beam, to exit a targeting device without refraction or distortion that could result in misalignment of the visible light beam relative to a targeted object. The rigid optically clear window (14) is made of a material having an ability to transmit light, and which ability remains substantially unchanged after the drape has undergone a gamma radiation sterilization process.

Abstract: In a method and a device for descaling a metal strip, the metal strip is guided in a transport direction from a first roll stand to a second roll stand. A descaling device is positioned between the first and second roll stands. A descaling liquid is sprayed onto the metal strip from a working distance relative to the metal strip via the descaling device. The metal strip is moved at the location of the descaling device by a forced deflection amount in a direction transverse to the transport direction via an advancing element. A position of the descaling device is adjusted based on the forced deflection amount such that the working distance stays the same.

Abstract: An apparatus (figure 2) and method (figure 5) for determining fast and slow shear wave velocities and orientations in an anisotropic earth formation that reduces the error and ambiguity in calculating these parameters and eliminates the need for dipole receivers (104, 106) and multiple dipole sources (102). The apparatus generally includes a single dipole source (200) for generating an acoustic signal within a borehole.     The acoustic logging tool contains multiple levels of receivers. At each level, four receivers, (204, 206, 208, 210) which may be conventional pressure transducers, receive shear/flexural wave signals which propagate along the borehole earth formation. These receivers measure the pressure fields from the wave signals. A processing device (214), preferably a UNIX tm based computer, interpolates the measured pressure fields between any two adjacent receivers. The processing device performs cross-component decomposition on the pressure field to determine shear wave orientation and velocity. Using the shear wave orientation and velocity the processing device determines transit time anisotropy, energy anisotropy, and slowness anisotropy.
