Title: Process control network with redundant field devices and busses
Inventor: LARSON BRENT H
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 1997-10-03
Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: Functional elements within a two-wire, loop-powered, two-way digital communications environment are interconnected using selective redundant connections and selective redundant functional elements. The redundant functional elements and redundant connections provide a smooth transition from operation of a primary process loop element to a secondary process loop element in the event of a failure of the primary process loop element. Redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant pair of field devices or a redundant bus pair having a primary bus and a redundant bus. In a first case, rcdundancey is selectively implemented using a single set of communication media (202 in fig. 6), such as a single communication loop, but implementing redundant functional elements (204, 206), such as field devices, so that recovery is achieved upon failure of a functional element but not upon failure of the communication media. In a second case, redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant set of communication media (302, 303 in fig. 7) in addition to use of redundant devices (304, 306) so chat recovery is attained both for a failing device and a failing communication media. In a third case, redundancy is selectively implemented using a redundant set of communication media (402, 403 in fig. 8) but using a single device (404) so that recovery is attained for a failing communication media but not for a failing device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring differential and absolute concentrations of a selected gas, preferably oxygen, in two flowing gas streams is described. A  reference gas and a sample gas in separate gas flow paths are passed at selected temperature, pressure and flow rate over a pair of gas sensors, connected in series with their cathodes or anodes connected together, which produce output signals proportional to the differential selected gas concentration between the sensors and the absolute selected gas pressure in each sensor. The output signals may be amplified and recorded by any conventional means.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, un circuit convertisseur de trains transforme le type de train de données d'un train codé original transmis depuis une station maîtresse en un train élémentaire. Le train codé original transformé est acheminé à un circuit d'analyse de trains d'un épisseur de trains. Ce circuit d'analyse analyse la syntaxe du train codé original reçu pour en extraire les éléments de données telles que les données "vbv_delay" représentant l'état initial du tampon VBV, un message indicateur "repeat_first_field" indiquant si un champ de répétition doit être généré pendant le décodage, et un message indicateur "top_ field_first" indiquant si le premier champ est un champ supérieur ou un champ inférieur, puis communique ces données à un contrôleur d'épissage, qui, à son tour les communique au processeur de trains. Ce processeur de train réécrit les éléments de données d'un train codé de substitution.

Abstract: This invention describes a new method to measure kappa number or lignin content of kraft pulps based on the voltammetric measurement of catalytic reactions involving lignin and redox mediators. This method comprises measuring the rate of regeneration of a lignin redox catalyst in the presence of pulp following its oxidation at a voltammetric electrode.     The intensity of the catalytic current generated at the electrode surface is shown to be proportional to the amount of lignin present in a pulp. Within pulp types (softwood, hardwood or oxygen delignified) linear relationships can be obtained between the intensities of the generated current and a range of kappa numbers. The redox characteristics and concentration of the mediator, and the voltage sweep rate of the voltammetric procedure, are among parameters that can be tuned to obtained linear relationships with kappa number of various pulps. Automation of this method can lead to development of a novel on-line electro-kappa analyzer to be used for either pulping or bleaching process control.

Title: Expandable stents and method for making same
Inventor: HARTIGAN WILLIAM M
IPC: A61F2/86
Filed: 1992-09-29
Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, and a method for making it from a single length of tubing. The stent consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical elements generally aligned on a common axis and interconnected by one or more interconnective elements. The individual radially expandable cylindrical elements consist of ribbon-like material disposed in an undulating pattern. The stents are made by coating a length of tubing with an etchant-resistive material and then selectively removing portions of the coating to form a pattern for the stent on the tubing and to expose the portions of the tubing to be removed. This may be done by machine-controlled activation and relative positioning of a laser in conjunction with the coated tubing. After the patterning of the tubing, the stent is formed by removing exposed portions of the tubing by an etching process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug type connector, and more particularly to a plug type connector having a locking function of, when the connector is connected to a counter connector, coupling the connector to the counter connector. In the case where a locking member is formed by a slender locking piece 30 configured by a synthetic resin molded product, the operation load which is required for flexurally deforming the locking piece 30 can be increasingly or decreasingly adjusted.     The plug type connector A of the invention comprises contact portions 20, the locking piece 30, a press operating member 50, and a backup member 60. The backup member 60 has a function of adjusting the level of the operation load of the locking piece 30. In another invention, even when the locking member is made of a metal, the enclosure of the counter connector is not shaved by a prying force applied on the counter connector, and hence the stability of the locked state can be enhanced. In the invention, a locking member 80 of the plug type connector A is produced by bending a metal wire rod having a circular section shape.
