Title: Dispositif de perforation chirurgical
Inventor: PHUNG TRINH D
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de formation d'ouvertures (trous) dans un tissu organique interne. Ledit dispositif comprend un instrument tranchant définissant un passage longitudinal et un bord tranchant. Ledit dispositif comprend également une âme interne pouvant coulisser par rapport à l'instrument tranchant présentant une partie venant en contact avec le tissu au niveau de son extrémité distale. Un mécanisme de type seringue déplace l'instrument tranchant et l'âme sensiblement coaxialement entre une première position où la partie distale de l'âme s'étend distalement par rapport au bord tranchant et une seconde position où la partie distale de l'âme réside dans le passage. Le tissu est cisaillé lorsque l'âme et l'instrument tranchant se déplacent de la première à la seconde position. L'âme et l'instrument tranchant sont fixés à des parties différentes du mécanisme de type seringue de telle sorte que les axes longitudinaux du passage de l'instrument tranchant, de l'élément d'âme et de l'ensemble d'activation peuvent s'écarter (c'est-à-dire, "flotter") les uns par rapport aux autres.

Title: Technology for improving stp protocols in ethernet networks supporting vlans
Inventor: GOLDBERG NOAM
IPC: H04L12/753
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: A method for utilizing a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in an Ethernet network wherein a number of VLANs are defined and a plurality of Ethernet switching nodes (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) are interconnected via their ports (A1, ..., H4) so that each of the ports is initially assigned to one or more VLANs, and each of the VLANs is intended to enable traffic between two or more edge ports (D3, B3). The method comprises a so-called pruning procedure initiated upon establishing a new STP topology (30) related to one or more VLANs. This procedure concerns a broadcast domain of at least one of the VLANs and is aimed at obtaining a sub-tree for each pruned VLAN in the new STP topology. The sub-tree is usually shrunk, bound by the edge ports assigned to the corresponding pruned VLAN, and thus eliminates broadcast traffic of the pruned VLAN to any Ethernet switch extending beyond the obtained sub-tree.

Title: Slurry hydrocarbon synthesis with liquid hydroisomerization in the synthesis reactor
Inventor: CLARK JANET RENEE
IPC: B01J19/24
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: A slurry Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process for synthesizing liqu id hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in a synthesis reactor also hydroisomerizes the synthesized hydrocarbon liquid, which comprises the slurry liquid, in on e or more lift reactors immersed in the slurry body in the synthesis reactor. A monolithic catalyst is preferably used for the hydroisomerization, and slurr y circulation up through the lift reactors from the surrounding slurry body, i s achieved at least in part by the lift action of the hydroisomerization treat gas. Preferably, catalyst particles are also removed before the slurry contacts the catalyst. Hydroisomerization occurs while the synthesis reactor is producing hydrocarbons, without interfering with the synthesis reaction. A gas bubble reducing downcomer may be used to produce and feed the gas bubble reduced slurry into the lift reactor, thereby providing a hydraulic head assist in the slurry circulation up through and out of the lift reactor.</SD OAB>
