Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil cathéter et un dosimètre permettant d'administrer à un patient une dose de rayonnement prescrite. Le cathéter est chargé d'une matière radioactive véhiculaire, telle qu'un gaz radioactif inerte, destinée à traiter, par exemple, la resténose après angioplastie et les tumeurs malignes. Le cathéter gonflé comprend plusieurs compartiments distincts destinés à transporter la matière radioactive véhiculaire, et plusieurs autres compartiments distincts permettant un écoulement important de sang à travers l'artère lors de la radiothérapie prescrite. Le cathéter gonflé peut également comprendre un ballon unitaire. Un revêtement métallique spécifique augmente la dose de rayonnement administrée à la cible. La paroi du passage de gonflement réduit la dose de rayonnement transmise vers le sang circulant dans le passage interne creux du cathéter. Le système produit également un rayonnement dérivé accru, résultant de l'impact des particules bêta et des protons gamma traversant la paroi du passage. Par ailleurs, un dosimètre est positionné, disposé ou fixé à un cathéter étalonné afin d'aider le radiophysicien à prescrire l'activité radiologique et le temps d'exposition.

Abstract: In an optical fiber connector (1), an outer member
(2) holds a portion of an optical fiber (4A) remote from
its connecting end which is connectable to a connecting end
of a counterpart optical fiber. An aligning member (3) is
held by the outer member so as to be movable along the

Abstract: This invention is a process for the removal of acetaldehyde impurities from ethyl acetate formed by reacting acetic acid with ethylene over a catalyst by refining a crude mixture of ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, acetaldehye and water in a column (C) so as to remove (a) refined ethyl acetate as a base product to be further purified, and (b) light ends mixture comprising diethyl ether and acetaldehyde overhead to be fed to an aldehyde removal column; a purge comprising acetaldehyde is removed at or near the top of the aldehyde removal column. The process is a very important step in the commercial manufacture of ethyl acetate because the presence of acetaldehyde is detrimental to the esterification catalyst.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de corriger et de reconstruire des images numériques en couleur, au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs ensemble(s) d'algorithmes permettant l'étalonnage, la correction, et la reconstruction d'une couleur. On peut également utiliser un algorithme pour réduire une profondeur de bit de manière optimisée, de façon à faire correspondre la courbe de réponse du dispositif de balayage avec celle du support balayé, ce qui améliore le rapport signal/bruit et réduit les artefacts tels que la pixélisation qui peut résulter d'un échantillonnage de la courbe de son trop grossier. Dans une application de film photographique, un algorithme d'étalonnage et de correction permet, en particulier, de corriger l'image pour ce qui est des variations de teinte de type de film à type de film, de la surexposition ou de la sous-exposition, des décalages de teinte dus à l'exposition, des décalages de teinte provoqués par des effets lumineux, des décalages de teinte dus à un traitement, et d'autres variables du traitement d'un film, tout en préservant la teinte globale de la matière du sujet dans l'image photographiée à l'origine. Un algorithme de reconstruction d'image permet de créer des tables de consultation (LUT) qui créent une version visuellement acceptable de l'image lorsqu'elles sont appliquées aux données originales.
