Abstract: A process for the conversion of hydrocarbons that are solid or have a high boiling temperature and may be laden with metals, sulfur or sediments, into liquids (gasolines, gas oil, fuels) with the help of a jet of gas properly superheated between 600 and 800°C. The process comprises preheating a feed (5) in a heater (8) to a temperature below the selected temperature of a reactor (10). This feed is injected by injectors (4) into the empty reactor (10) (i.e., without catalyst.) The feed is treated with a jet of gas or superheated steam from superheater (2) to activate the feed. The activated products in the feed are allowed to stabilize at the selected temperature and at a selected pressure in the reactor and are then run through a series of extractors (13) to separate heavy and light hydrocarbons and to demetallize the feed. Useful products appearing in the form of water/hydrocarbon emulsions are generally demulsified in emulsion breaker (16) to form water laden with different impurities. The light phase containing the final hydrocarbons is heated in heater (98) and is separated into cuts of conventional products, according to the demand for refining by an extractor (18) similar to (13).

Title: Intra-aortic balloon apparatus

Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2008-11-04
Abstract: An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (10) having improved automated electrocardiogram (ECG) based intra-aortic balloon deflation timing. Said IABP (10) capable of automatically determining to either deflate the intra-aortic balloon upon the detection of the next cardiac cycle (non-predictive deflation) or at an earlier point derived from predicting the occurrence of the next cycle (predictive deflation). This automated determination is based upon a quantitative assessment of the performance of the intra-aortic balloon pump (10) in predicting the prevailing cardiac rhythm.  The accuracy of deflation based upon beat-to-beat interval prediction is scored relative to actual beat-to-beat interval. Once the cumulative prediction score of a predetermined number of historic beat-to-beat intervals reaches a predetermined threshold for non-predictive deflation, the non-predictive deflation mode is automatically activated. Scoring of beat predictions continues in this mode to signal when to switch back to predictive deflation.

Title: Route protection in a communication network
Inventor: WEIL JON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-04-26
Granted: 2010-11-09
Abstract: A communications network comprises a lower transport layer and an upper overlay incorporating a plurality of routers. Adjacencies are defined between respective pairs of routers. Path protection is provided by defining a software model of the overlay of the network and defining in the model a hierarchy of protection levels for the main path. Each protection level is characterised by a respective set of one or more broken adjacencies in the model, the adjacencies to be broken being determined from a knowledge of the underlying topology. A protection level is selected and a protection path avoiding the broken adjacencies associated with that protection level is calculated. If this calculated path is not available in the real network, a lower protection level in the hierarchy is selected and the protection path calculation repeated. The process continues until a suitable protection path is identified.
