Title: Methods for restoring the heat transfer coefficient of an oligomerization reactor
Inventor: KREISCHER BRUCE E
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: The specification discloses a method for cleaning an oligomerization reactor after making a higher olefin in the reactor. An olefin is reacted in the presence of a catalyst comprising an aluminum alkyl to form an olefin reaction product. For example, ethylene can be trimerized in the reaction to produce 1-hexene. The reaction also causes a co-product residue of the catalyst to form on the interior surface of the reactor. The interior surface of the reactor is then contacted with an alcohol under conditions effective to remove at least a substantial amount of the catalyst residue from the interior surface of the reactor. The catalyst-removing step can be carried out by combining an alcohol with the process medium used in the reactor. The combined medium can be used to remove both the accumulated polymer co-product and the accumulated catalyst residue from the reactor.

Title: Method and apparatus for electronically distributing motion panoramic images
Inventor: FURLANI JOHN
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1999-01-19
Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic image distribution apparatus for distributing motion panoramic images. The main portion of the apparatus is a motion panoramic image server that has a source of motion panoramic images. The source of panoramic image frames may be a motion panoramic image playback device or a connection to a motion panoramic camera system. The motion panoramic image server transforms the panoramic image frames into an intermediate format that is more conducive for electronic transmission. The motion panoramic image server then transmits the motion panoramic images to client systems. A first panoramic image transmission system divides the intermediate planar representation into individual tiles and transmits tiles that are requested by client systems. A second panoramic image transmission system divides the intermediate planar representation into individual tiles and transmits the individual tiles on different multicast channels. Client systems then subscribe to the multicast channels needed to render an image in the direction of a desired view.

Title: Methods and apparatus for accelerated orthokeratology
Inventor: OEFINGER RORY H
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: An accelerated method of orthokeratology includes the steps of softening of the cornea with a softening agent, applying a mold to reshape the cornea to a desired anterior curvature, and rapidly restabilizing or "fixing" the corneal tissues so that the cornea retains its new configuration. A chemical softening agent, such as glutaric anhydride is applied to the cornea to soften the cornea, after which a specially designed mold of predetermined curvature and configuration is applied to the cornea. Slight downward pressure is applied to the mold for a predetermined period of time to re-shape the cornea. The mold is maintained in position while a stabilizing agent, such as a UV light source, is positioned above the mold. The stabilizing agent, i.e. UV light, is applied to the cornea for a predetermined time, wherein the stabilizing agent immediately restabilizes the corneal tissue so that the cornea immediately retains its shape upon removal of the mold. The stabilization process can also be used for patients having already undergone traditional orthokeratology to eliminate the need to continue wearing a retainer to maintain the shape of the cornea.

Title: A system and method for detecting and locating heart disease
Inventor: FANG DAN QUN
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A method is delineated for detecting and locating coronary artery and heart disease comprising the steps of obtaining electrocardiograph (EKG) signals from a patient, modifying the EKG signals, and establishing a base value for use in evaluating modified EKG signals. The step of modifying includes the steps of amplifying the EKG signals, digitizing amplified EKG signals, mathematically modifying the amplified and digitized EKG signals to obtain 12 lead signals in the time domain, and converting the 12 lead signals into power spectrum signals in the frequency domain. The base value is obtained by taking a patient's resting heart rate in beats per minute, converting it to beats per second, and multiplying by a scaling quantity between approximately 3 and 7, inclusively. Then, a first area is calculated by integrating a selected one of the power spectrum signals from zero Hertz to the base value. Similarly, a second area results from integrating the selected power spectrum signal from the base value to infinity. Then, one takes the ratio of the first to second areas to obtain an evaluation standard indicative of the patient's coronary health. Peak analysis of the power spectrum signals is also available, and a scheme for locating detected heart disease is also provided. Lastly, a system corresponding to the aforementioned methodology is shown.

Title: Method of simultaneously enhancing analgesic potency and attenuating dependence liability caused by exogenous and endogenous opioid agonists
Inventor: CRAIN STANLEY M
IPC: G01N33/94
Filed: 1995-07-18
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of selectively enhancing the analgesic potency of morphine and other clinically used bimodally-acting opioid agonists and simultaneously attenuating development of physical dependence, tolerance and other undesirable side effects caused by the chronic administration of said bimodally-acting opioid agonists comprising the coadministration of a bimodally-acting opioid agonist which activates both inhibitory and excitatory opioid receptor-mediated functions of neurons in the nociceptive (pain) pathways of the nervous system and an opioid receptor antagonist which selectively inactivates excitatory opioid receptor-mediated side effects. This invention also relates to a method of using excitatory opioid receptor antagonists alone to block the undesirable excitatory side effects of endogenous bimodally-acting opioid agonists which may be markedly elevated during chronic pain. This invention further relates to a method of long-term treatment of previously detoxified opiate, cocaine and alcohol addicts utilizing said excitatory opioid receptor antagonists, either alone or in combination with low-dose methadone, to prevent protracted physical dependence, and to compositions comprising an excitatory opioid receptor antagonist of the invention and a bimodally-acting opioid agonist.

Title: Aglucone isoflavone enriched vegetable protein extract and protein material, and high genistein and daidzein content materials and process for producing the same
Inventor: BRYAN BARBARA A
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 1997-09-01
Abstract: An aglucone is isoflavone enriched vegetable protein extract and protein material are provided, as well as a high genistein content material and a high daidzein content material. Isoflavone conjugates in a vegetable material are converted to isoflavone glucosides by treating the vegetable material at a temperature and a pH for a period of time sufficient to effect the conversion. The isoflavone glycosides are converted to glucose isoflavones by enzymatic reaction. The vegetable material is extracted with an aqueous extractant having a pH above about the isoelectric point of protein in the vegetable material to extract protein and the isoflavones either before or after conversion of the isoflavone conjugates to isoflavone glucosides or the conversion of the isoflavone glucosides to aglucone isoflavones. An aglucone isoflavone enriched protein material is produced by precipitating the protein and aglucone isoflavones from the extract. A high genistein content material or a high daidzein content material may be produced from the aglucone isoflavone enriched protein extract or aglucone isoflavone enriched protein material by separating the high genistein or high daidzein content material from the extract or protein material.
