Title: Method for high-temperature distillation of residual oil in a limited time
Inventor: HEURICH HELMUT
IPC: C10G70/04
Filed: 2003-07-09
Granted: 2006-12-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a high temperature short-time distillation of residual oil. The method according to the invention is characterized by a technically simple recovery of a small residual fraction from a gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by a mixing apparatus (1). Said small residual fraction contains large quantities of undesirable polluting catalytic substances (CCR, Ni, V, asphaltenes). For this purpose, the gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by the mixing apparatus (1) is diluted with gas or water vapour in a column (17) at a temperature of 450° C. in such a way that a high boiling fraction, which has a high content of the pollutant substances and whose initial boiling point is higher than 450° C., is condensed and extracted. Another realization of the method consists in introducing a non condensed oil produced in the column (17) into a fractionating column (19), where said oil is decomposed in order to produce a depressurized gas oil fraction having a low content of pollutants and a benzine/gas oil fraction.

Title: Air bath with bypass vent
Inventor: WANG DIANA Q
IPC: A61H33/06
Filed: 2005-06-10
Granted: 2011-03-03
Abstract: An air bath has air outlets extending around the side walls of the water basin. Air is delivered to the air outlets through a ring-like air manifold coupled to a blower by conduit.

Filed: 2007-02-06
Granted: 2013-01-10
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for estimating the time elapsed within a gestation period of a pregnant or potentially pregnant ruminant, such as a cow. The method involves estimating the time elapsed within a gestation period of a pregnant or potentially pregnant ruminant, including the steps of providing a sample from the ruminant; calculating a value of a pregnancy indicator in the sample; and applying a regression formula to the value of the pregnancy indicator to provide an estimate of the time elapsed within the gestation period. The method may further include the steps of categorising the pregnancy status of the ruminant, qualitatively assessing the level of the pregnancy indicator value for application thereto of the regression formula, using the time elapsed to derive an estimate of a gestation-related event, and validating the estimated date of a gestation related event. The invention further provides computer software to generate an estimate of the time elapsed within a gestation period of a pregnant ruminant, and systems for generating an estimate of the time elapsed.
