Patent CA-2340113-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OSMAN NAEL F
IPC: G01R33/48
Filed: 1999-08-09
Abstract: A method of measuring motion of an object by magnetic resonance imaging including applying a pulse sequence to spatially modulate a region of intere st of said object. At least one spectral peak is acquired from the Fourier doma in of the spatially modulated object. The inverse Fourier transform information  of the acquired spectral peaks is computed. The angle images are computed fr om the spectral peak. The angle images employed to measure motion of the object . The method may employ a SPAMM pulse sequence as the pulse sequence. The angl e images may be employed to compute directly and automatically, planar strain in two dimensions or a full strain tensor in three dimensions. The data may be useful in detection and quantification of myocardial ischemia and infarction . The angle images may also be employed to generate data equivalent to planar tag data automatically and can be employed to generate any desired tag separations. The angle images may also be employed to compute displacement, synthesize tag patterns and compute optical flow without requiring the use o f regularization.

Title: Isobutene polymerisation process
Inventor: BENAZZOUZ GACEM
IPC: C08F2/38
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to an isobutene polymerization process wherein  a property P (viscosity or average molecular weight) of the polyisobutene produced is maintained constant. The polymerisation is conducted continuousl y in a reactor comprising a boiling liquid reaction phase in equilibrium with a gas phase, by continuous introduction into the reactor of a catalyst and of a C4 hydrocarbon feed mixture comprising the monomer, and by continuous withdrawal from the reactor of the liquid reaction phase. The process comprises the determination of a target value V of the partial pressure, PiC 4, of the isobutene in the reactor gas phase corresponding to the desired value  of the property P, by virtue of an empirical relationship established beforehand between the property P of the polyisobutene produced and PiC4. During the polymerization, PiC4 is measured and a corrected value of PiC4, (PiC4)c, is calculated and is held constant at around the target value V, by  acting on the flow rate Qc of the catalyst and/or on the flow rate Qh of the  C4 hydrocarbon feed mixture.
