IPC: F28B1/02
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: The cooling and condensation of steam in a steam plant is carried out by a surface condenser. The condenser has a cover consisting of side walls and tube bases. Inner walls limit the steam chamber and tube bundles extend into the steam chamber between the tube bases. The tube bundles (2) are separated from one another by an end or more central ways (3a). Water chambers (4) are formed between two half shells fitted on one of the tube bases (1). The inner half shell (6) forms an inner space (7) with the tube base and is connected in a watertight manner and follows to a great extent the contour run of the tube bundle in the central way area (3a).

Abstract: There is described a diagnostic system comprising a desk-top, flat-bed optical colour scanner (101) which scans a substrate, such as a urine stick (107), which has been dipped in a container of analyte (105). The substrate (107) carries an image result generated by a chemical diagnostic assay and the scanner (101) generates a digitised record of the image. A personal computer (103) coupled to the scanner (101) is arranged to perform a colour analysis of the image by analysis of the digitised record and provides a quantified result for the diagnostic assay.

Filed: 1998-03-25
Abstract: A method of preparing a metal tube for a length of superconducting wire Inserts superconducting base material into the tube and packs or coils the tube so that a portion of its outer surface would contact another surface. To prevent the portion of the outer surface from sticking to the other surface, the portion is coated with powder material particles suspended in an effectively liquid component before the packing or coiling so that the surfaces do not contact each other. The powder material has a melting point temperature higher than the melting point temperature of the tube and the liquid component evaporates or burns away completely at the temperature that forms the superconducting phase of the superconducting base material.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à mettre en forme une plaque de matériau polymère compressible ou cellulaire (80), par exemple en mousse de polyuréthanne, en découpant des parties de ce matériau dans l'une de ses surfaces. A cet effet, une plate-forme en mouvement à motifs en creux (32) telles que de préférence une bande sans fin ou une série de panneaux reliés entre eux, est placée entre un cylindre de compression (56) et une surface de support (46), tout en formant au moins un évidement (36). Lors de la compression de la plaque entre le cylindre de compression et la plate-forme, qui est maintenue par la surface de support, une partie du matériau de la plaque remplit l'évidement ou les évidements ménagés dans la plate-forme en mouvement. Au moins une partie du matériau comprimé se trouvant dans lesdits évidements est ensuite découpée de la surface de la plaque par une lame (76) au moment même où la plaque émerge entre le cylindre de compression et la plate-forme, créant ainsi une surface coupée profilée, dont les parties découpées correspondent du point de vue du relief et de la forme aux évidements situés sur la plate-forme à motifs creusés en mouvement.

Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining, utilizing magnetic resonance, a temperature distribution of a part of an object which is arranged in a substantially uniform steady magnetic field, the determination of the temperature distribution involving the determination of a reference image of the object, for example a part of a human body, and a phase image of the human body. Subsequently, the temperature distribution is determined from phase differences between the values of pixels of the phase image and the values of corresponding pixels of a predetermined reference phase image. In order to counteract errors in the temperature distribution which are caused by motion of the object, navigator pulse sequences are generated so as to measure navigator signals prior to the measurement of MR signals wherefrom the reference image and the phase image are reconstructed. Subsequently, a correction for correction of the temperature distribution is derived from the navigator signals.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel combinations of anti-epileptic compounds that demonstrate pain alleviating properties, with compounds selected from the group consisting of analgesics, NMDA receptor antagonists, and NSAIDs and pharmaceutical compositions comprising same. It has been discovered that the administration of anti-epileptic compounds that demonstrate pain alleviating properties in these novel combinations results in an improved reduction in the frequency and severity of pain. It is also believed that the incidence of unwanted side effects can be reduced by these novel combinations in comparison to using higher doses of a single agent treatment to achieve a similar therapeutic effect. The present invention is also directed to methods of using effective amounts of the novel pharmaceutical compositions to treat pain in mammals.
