Abstract: A process is described for pre-treating an aqueous bituminous feed for downstream bitumen extraction. The process involves removing water from an aqueous bituminous feed having a water content of 60% or more by weight. After water is removed, an effluent comprising 40%  water or less is formed, and is ready for downstream extraction. In the downstream extraction process, a dual solvent extraction process may be employed, incorporating agglomeration of fines to simplify subsequent solid-liquid separation. The process permits recovery of hydrocarbon that has conventionally remained in waste streams from oil sands processing, and thus has conventionally been lost. In one embodiment, removing water comprises subjecting the aqueous bituminous feed to a primary water separation system to reduce the water content of the feed, followed by subsequent water removal, thereby producing an effluent having a water content of 40% or less, which can then go on to further processing.

Abstract: A tissue transfer method for reconstruction and augmentation of soft tis-sue.  The method includes harvesting adipose tissue from a patient. The harvested tissue is processed via centrifugation to isolate a purified subset of the adipose tissue including separating and removing a substantial amount of triglycerides from the harvested adipose tissue. The centrifugation may be performed to cause separation of water from the purified adipose tissue and to cause separation of oil from mature adipocytes.  Specifically, the spin rates may be selected to be high enough to cause lesions in the mature adipocytes that results in the release of the oil. The method continues with implanting the purified adipose tissue into the patient at a breast or other area identified for reconstruction or augmentation. The implanting is performed based on an injection pathway model that defines injection point locations and a number of injection pathway directions from each point.

Abstract: A fan system includes a motor, a rotatable hub, and a plurality of fan blades. The motor is coupled with the hub by a hollow drive shaft, such that the drive system of the fan system is gearless. The motor is controlled by a PFC-based control module, which is in communication with sensors that are configured to sense parameters associated with operation of the fan system. The control module is configured to react in certain ways to certain conditions detected by the sensors, such that the fan system uses feedback-based control algorithms. A remote control panel is in communication with the control module. The remote control panel is operable to display fault conditions detected by the sensors. Blade retainers prevent fan blades from falling when a fan blade breaks free from the hub. Pins prevent the hub from falling when the hub breaks free from the rotor.
