Title: Method for evaporating process wastewater
Inventor: JOHANSSON HANS
IPC: B01D1/28
Filed: 1996-06-12
Abstract: In the evaporation of process wastewater comprising a mixture of different types of wastewater, problems arise due to the formation of reaction products, so-called incrusta-tions, which are difficult to separate. These incrustations clog up the evaporator, thus necessitating frequent stop-pages for chemical and mechanical cleaning of the evapora-tor. The invention concerns an improved method for concen-trating process wastewater by evaporation. In this method, one acid process flow and one alkaline process flow are evaporated alternately in one and the same evaporator. With this method, precipitates that are difficult to separate are dissolved in the evaporator during the respective evapora-tions. As a result, stoppages motivated by the need to clean the evaporator may be avoided to the utmost possible extent, while less and cheaper processing equipment is required.

Abstract: A progressive power multifocal lens designed by attaching importance to an intermediate vision and a near vision in such a manner as to ensure broad intermediate vision viewing portion and near vision viewing portion and to have a well-balanced viewing zone among the distance, near and middle portions, whereby a resultant image of an object is little varied or fluctuated, especially, in lateral directions. For example, a far vision power measuring position is located at a point which is 14 mm upwardly away from the geometrical center of the lens. Moreover, a near vision power measuring position is located at a point which is 17.5 mm downwardly away from the geometrical center and further is 2.5 mm inwardly to the nose of a wearer. Furthermore, an eye-point position, through which a visual line runs when the wearer looks to the front thereof, is located at the geometrical center.  Additionally, assuming that the far vision power measuring position is selected as a center and that a direction, in which a horizontal half-line extends right-wardly from the far vision power measuring position, is determined as a reference direction whose azimuth angle is 0, a nearly sectorial domain corresponding to azimuth angles of 30 to 150 degrees is used as a far viewing distinct vision zone in which the astigmatism is not more than 0.5 diopters irrespective of the value of an addition.  Further, a principal fixation line running through the far vision power measuring position, the eye-point position and the near vision power measuring position divides the surface of the lens into a nose-side part and an ear-side part in such a way that these parts are asymmetric in the horizontal or lateral direction.

Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method for establishing a collapsible infusion conduit in a blood vessel (46) includes a catheter (20) formed as a normally-flattened tube (44) of flexible, collapsible plastic. When placed in a blood vessel, the catheter collapses to a flattened configuration (fig. 3D) for lying along the wall of the blood vessel to avoid obstruction to blood flow. During infusion, infusion fluid expands the catheter to a generally oval flow path (fig. 3B).  The catheter may be initially placed in the blood vessel by pre-loading the catheter over a guide wire (50) and inserting the catheter and guide wire through an introducer sheath (78) into the blood vessel. Infusion fluid is thereafter applied to the trailing end (24, 28, 30) of the catheter to expand the catheter to facilitate withdrawal of the guide wire. Alternatively, the leading end (22) of the catheter may initially be sealed, and placement into the blood vessel is achieved through an introducer sheath (78) by inflating the catheter with pressurized fluid (72) to temporarily render the catheter rigid and generally oval. The seal at the leading end of the catheter is thereafter opened, either by inserting a guide wire (82) into the catheter to pierce the sealed end, or by increasing the inflation pressure to burst a weakened break line (74) formed at the leading end (22) of the catheter.

Title: Flat panel detector and image sensor
Inventor: OUIMETTE DONALD R
IPC: H01J31/28
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: Flat panel image sensor (10) is provided by combining photoconductive imaging electrodes of a vidicon with a two-dimensional array of cold cathode field emitters (14) commonly used for flat panel field emission display (FED) systems. The FED operates normally to emit electrons which are accelerated in prior art displays towards a luminescent phosphor to generate light output proportional to the cathode emission. Rather than accelerating towards a phosphor, electrons are accelerated towards a photoconductor layer (16) to replace charge removed from the layer by an incident radiation pattern directed at the photoconductor layer (16) through a layer of transparent, electrically-conducting material (17) which serves as a radiation window. The transparent, electrically-conducting layer (17) may be partitioned to reduce stray capacitance for large area sensors and the partitioned, electrically-conducting layer (17) permits a parallel readout mode of operation.

Abstract: Prior lifting probes automatically release from the core of the paper roll as soon as the roll is placed on a surface and the lifting pressure from the cable is released. In some situations that can be undesirable, since some adjustment or juggling of the paper rolls may be required by the crane operator after the roll has first been placed on a surface. It is preferable that the release of the probe can be made remotely at the discretion of the operator to avoid the danger of a worker in close proximity to the cable, lifting probe and paper roll. The present invention provides a power-actuated cylinder to remotely release the lifting probe from the paper roll.
