Patent CA-2323087-C (CA)
Inventor: WARDLAW STEPHEN C
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 1999-02-19
Granted: 2004-06-01
Abstract: Formed constituents of a quiescent anticoagulated whole blood sample are optically of visually analyzed in a sample chamber (14) which has a varying through plane thickness due to convergent opposing sample chamber walls (4, 8). At least one of the convergent walls of the chamber is transparent so that the blood sample constituents can be observed. The chamber's varying thickness produces a first lesser thickness region (A) in the chamber wherein a quiescent monolayer of red blood cells in the sample will reside after the sample is introduced into and fills the chamber. Larger formed constituents such as white blood cells in the sample are unable to enter the aforesaid lesser thickness region of the chamber. The red cells which reside in the greater thickness regions (B, C) will agglomerate to form rouleaux and lacunae. The exact thickness of the chamber at any particular location i n the chamber can be predetermined, or can be determined in situ as the sample is being analysed. By admixing certain dyes with the bloo d sample, various characteristics and other information can be derived from the various formed constituents in the sample by means of a scanning instrument (54) which is able to measure various color and other signals emitted from the sample at various locations (1, 3, 5) within thechamber, or by means of visual examination of the sample in the chamber. The thickness of the lacunae areas of the sample can be calculated by the instrument as a function of signal emission strength from the dyes or stains. The emissions can be the result o f sample fluorescence or can be the result of signal density through the sample. Particle volumes can be measured as a function or signal emission suppression caused by the particles. Erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR) can also be derived from a blood sample disposed i n the sampling chamber.

Abstract: An in-pipe vehicle for carrying out at least one operation in a pipeline. The vehicle comprises a train of modules (11-16) interlinked by suspension links (17) to allow serpentine movement through pipe bends. The vehicle train has its own internal power supply and drive mechanism in respective modules. A detector module (14) determines the presence of a service juncture using magnetic field information and a manipulative module (13) allows the vehicle to be temporarily wedged in the pipeline vehicle providing rotational movement to facilitate the desired operation at the junction. This can include drilling and welding of a service pipe to the main using appropriate modules.      A remote probe typically containing a magnetic field generator can be used to assist a service junction location by the vehicle.

Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: Methods, and apparatus are disclosed for performing corneal ablation procedures of the eye (12) in a manner which does not interfere with the natural shape of the cornea or its orientation relative to the remainder of the eye, but which changes its surface curvature appropriately to achieve the required correction of vision. Three preferred embodiments are described, which model the cornea to different degrees of accuracy. Once the model of the cornea is obtained (610, 620, 630), surface curvature is modified (650) to achieve the degree of correction in refraction that is necessary, as determined by an eye test of the patient. The modified model of the cornea is then utilized to control the removal of material from the surface of the cornea in a corneal ablation operation.

Abstract: Compositions and methods have been discovered for inhibiting corrosion of metals, particularly iron alloys, in con- tact with fluids, either hydrocarbons, alcohols, or aqueous fluids, employin g mercaptoalcohols. The mercaptoalcohols should have at least one water solubilizing hydroxyl group. In particular, suitable mercaptoalcohols have the formula: (HS)n-R-(OH)m where R is a straight, branched, cyclic or heterocyclic alkylene, arylene, alkylarylene , arylalkylene, or hydrocarbon moiety having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms; n and m each independently averages from t to 3; and the heteroatom in the heterocyclic moiety substituent, if present, may be N, O, S and/or P. Preferred mercaptoalcohols include 2-mercaptoethano l, 2-mercaptopropanol, I-mercapto-2-propanol, and 2-mercaptobutanol, in part because they are soluble in many fluids. These corrosion inhibitors show improved inhibition of both generalized and localized corrosion, specifically in high shear and high flo w environments.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un procédé d'élimination et de caustification de l'oxalate de sodium et/ou du sulfate de sodium d'une lessive de traitement Bayer contenant du carbonate de sodium ainsi que de l'oxalate de sodium et/ou du sulfate de sodium dans une raffinerie d'oxyde d'aluminium. Le procédé est basé sur l'observation que pour caustifier efficacement des solutions d'oxalate de sodium, il est tout d'abord nécessaire d'éliminer l'ion aluminate de la solution, facultativement par récupération de l'ion aluminate dans une étape ultérieure quelconque. Pour ce faire on élimine les ions aluminate de la lessive Bayer par la formation d'un hydrocalumite porteur de carbonate et/ou d'un hydrocalumite porteur de sulfate. La lessive peut ensuite être traitée avec suffisamment de chaux afin d'éliminer et de caustifier les éventuels ions carbonate résiduels et une partie ou la totalité des ions oxalates présents, de manière que d'éventuels solides de chaux ayant réagi, ainsi formés, puissent être séparés et rejetés sans danger. Le procédé peut comprendre une étape de pré-caustification dans laquelle la lessive Bayer est tout d'abord caustifiée afin de réduire la concentration d'ions carbonate avant l'étape d'élimination des ions aluminate. L'invention présente un processus efficace d'élimination du sulfate de sodium et un procédé pratique de récupération de soude à partir de sulfate de sodium. L'efficacité de l'utilisation de la chaux peut également être augmentée considérablement d'environ 20 à 80 % (si l'élimination du sulfate n'est pas l'objectif), les pertes d'oxyde d'aluminium pouvant être réduites au minimum. La concentration d'oxalate de la lessive du processus est également sensiblement inférieure à celle atteinte habituellement dans des processus basés sur une cristallisation de l'oxalate de sodium.

Granted: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A plumbing fixture adapted to be installed from the top side of a sink deck through a sink deck opening includes a housing having a body portion which is adapted to extend through the sink deck opening and below the sink deck when mounted. The housing has a shoulder which is adapted to seat on the sink deck when mounted. There is a collar slidably movable on the body portion and of a size to pass through the sink deck opening. A threaded bore is in the collar and an unthreaded bore is in the housing shoulder, and a threaded member extends through these bores, with rotation of the threaded member from above the sink deck moving the collar axially along the housing body portion. Outwardly- biased yielding members are associated with the collar and extend outwardly therefrom such that when so extended the collar will not pass through the sink deck opening. The fixture is mounted to the sink deck by first compressing the outwardly extending yielding members to pass the body portion and collar through the sink deck opening from above the sink deck until the shoulder portion is seated on the sink deck and the yielding members have extended after passing through the sink deck opening. The threaded member is then rotated until the collar has moved axially along the body portion and is in contact with the underside of the sink deck.
