Patent CA-2441685-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TORNAI MARTIN P
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: A compact and mobile gantry for 3-dimensional Application Specific Emission and/or Transmission Tomography (ASETT) imaging of the breast in single photon or coincidence emission modes, and single photon, or coincidence, or x-ray transmission modes. While the ASETT gantry was designed, built and evaluated for imaging metabolically active lesions in the pendant breast, it can also be used to image other organs and objects. This system overcomes physical constraints associated with imaging a pendulous breast in prone patients, while simultaneously satisfying sampling criteria for sufficient data collection in the pendulous breast reference frame. When combined with an offset cone-beam tomographic x-ray transmission imaging system, this dual modality ASETT system could provide simultaneous and coregistered structural and functional information about large and dense breasts, breasts with indeterminate x-ray mammography, and could also be used to accurately 3-dimensionally guide biopsy or surgical resection. Moreover, with the offset beam orientation, the transmission system is designed to have a variable FOV  and minimize overall absorbed breast dose.

Abstract: A filter element (30) which has a filtering medium (31) formed by ruffling a fiber sheet and a resin frame (32) surrounding the perimeter of the filtering medium (31); and a filtering medium (31) which comprises a fiber sheet comprising a heat-resistant fiber having a melting temperature or a carbonization temperature of 300~C or higher. As the heat-resistant fiber, use can be made of a meta-type or para-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, a wholly aromatic polyester fiber, a polyphenylene sulfide fiber, or a polyamideimide fiber. As a fiber constituting the fiber sheet except the heat-resistant fiber, use can be made of a fiber having a softening point of 150~C  or higher such as a polyamide based fiber, a polyester based fiber, an acrylic fiber, or a vinylon fiber. Preferably, the heat-resistant fiber accounts for 3 mass % or more of the fiber sheet. The filtering medium is suppressed in the reduction of bursting strength during use and causes no substantial problems in practical use.

Title: Gaseous fuel injector having high heat tolerance
Inventor: POPP ROGER C
IPC: F02M53/04
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: A high pressure gaseous fuel injector for injecting natural gas or other gaseous fuels at high pressures (eg. 300 to 700 psig more or less) into combustion engines for improved efficiency, better performance and reduced environmental emissions.  The fuel injector is powered by hydraulic signals from an electrohydraulic valve.  The fuel injector includes an outer cartridge housing and a universal valve cartridge mounted therein. The cartridge comprises an activator body and a valve body secured together, and the valve body has a gas valve slidable therein. The stroke of the valve is adjustable by controlling the size of shims in the valve body assembly, thereby providing a universal valve cartridge that can be easily adapted to differing fueling requirements for models and sizes of engines. The valve body includes a spring chamber between upper and lower valve guides. The valve body also includes cross-holes to allow cool gaseous fuel to successively pulsate into and out of the spring chamber and thereby cool the exposed portion of the valve between guides, preventing heating of the dynamic gas seal located in the upper guide. An unsealed small clearance between the actuating piston and its bore in the actuator body allows controlled leakage of oil. The leakage of oil lubricates metal to metal contact between the upper guide and the valve and lubricates the dynamic gas seat. Gaseous fuel leakage into the leaked oil is tolerated and any combined oil/gaseous fuel is removed to an external location for separation. Spring washers are used to urge the valve assembly insert against a metal O-ring supported by the outer cartridge body.

Title: A method for repairing a protective lining of an industrial reaction or transport vessel
Inventor: KIRCHHOFF STEFAN
IPC: F27D21/00
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for repairing a protective lining of an industrial reaction or transport vessel, such as a converter vessel, electric arc furnace, or ladle. The method comprises identifying combined areas of the lining having a thickness below a predetermined threshold value by means of a measuring device, which measuring device measures the residual thickness of the lining and a processing unit, which processing unit in a first step transforms the residual thickness data into binary data, by comparing the measured residual thickness data with the pre-determined threshold value for the thickness of the lining, and assigning the binary value "1" to areas of the lining having a thickness below the pre-determined threshold value, and the binary value "0" to areas of the lining having a thickness equal or higher than the pre-determined threshold value, or vice versa, in a second step combines isolated areas of the lining having a thickness below the predetermined threshold value into combined areas of the lining to which the binary value for areas of the lining having a thickness below the pre-determined threshold value is assigned, and in a third step computes the position and repair sequence of each of the combined areas and transfers these data to a repair device,and applying monolithic lining material onto the combined areas computed by the processing unit by means of a repair device.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing routing requests
Inventor: HINES PATRICK
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 2004-11-29
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for communication and provision of routing address information. The prior owner of a called telephone number is referred to herein as a "prior subscriber". When a number is released by a prior subscriber, it is placed into a database referred to as the "spare pool" which includes available (unsubscribed) telephone numbers. When a caller dials a number that is in the spare pool, the invention intercepts the call and takes any number of possible actions. In one embodiment, the invention automatically forwards the caller to a new number based on a database that stores the new number of the prior subscriber or routes the caller to a message that gives the caller the option (either via a charge or after listening to an advertisement) of being connected to, or being given, the current number of the prior subscriber.
