Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a hard metal granulate involving wet milling and spray drying in a spray tower (1) using pure water as the liquid phase.    The essential characteristic of the invention is that the spray tower (1) is designed and operated in such a way that the ratio of the quantity of water added via the slurry (in liters per hour) to tower volume (in m3) is between 0.5 and 1.8 and in that a maximum of 0.17 kg of slurry is atomized per m3 of incoming drying gas, whereby the slurry has a solid particle concentration within a range of 65 - 85 % by weight.   Under the conditions described above, the addition of a water-soluble, long-chain polyglycol to the slurry prior to spraying ordinarily required in order to prevent oxidation of the hard metal granulate is no longer necessary.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure sensitive prosthesis that includes a tubular member (11) having a passageway (12) extending therethrough and a sleeve (13) attached about one end (14) of the tubular member (11). The sleeve (13) functions as a one-way valve to permit fluid flowing through the sleeve lumen in a first direction (17) and under a first pressure, while collapsing in response to fluid flowing in a second direction (18) when the pressure thereof exceeds that of the first direction or pressure. One aspect of the invention includes an esophageal anti-reflux expandable prosthesis wherein the sleeve (13) is adapted to invert back through the tubular stent frame (11) to permit belching or vomiting (fluid or materials under a third, significantly higher pressure). Another aspect of the invention includes a tubular drainage stent, such as a biliary or urethral stent in which the sleeve (13) opens to permit passage of fluids, then collapses to prevent retrograde flow.

Abstract: A compression scheme for reducing the amount of data that must be transmitted uplink from a formation TSD testing while drilling apparatus (40). Periodic samples are taken within the formation test apparatus (45), and prior to transmitting data uplink (61), the samples are analyzed to generate curve fit parameters that define a curve that most closely fits the sampled data (46). A  minimal set a data points, time variables, and curve fit parameters are transmitted to the surface where the transmitted data is used to reconstruct the formation pressure test curve (42). A quality of fit value is also transmitted with the minimal data set as an indication of the quality of the fit between the reconstructed data and the actually sampled data points.
