Title: Lampe a decharge a vapeur de mercure basse pression germicide a emplacement d'amalgame permettant d'obtenir un rendement eleve
Inventor: PIROVIC ARPAD L
IPC: A61L/
Filed: 2004-03-31
Granted: 2013-06-11
Abstract: Cette invention concerne une lampe germicide (18) comprenant un amalgame (44, 144) servant à commander la pression de vapeur de mercure et contenu dans un emplacement facilitant un fonctionnement à rendement élevé efficace. Une lampe à décharge à vapeur de mercure basse pression (18) comprend un récipient d'amalgame (46, 146) contenant un amalgame (44, 144) positionné derrière une électrode (42, 142) hors de la trajectoire de l'arc ou de l'espace. La position de l'amalgame est conservée lors d'un chargement de paroi élevé de la lampe, ce qui empêche l'amalgame de changer de position. Cette invention permet ainsi d'obtenir un fonctionnement efficace présentant des charges de courant élevées ainsi qu'un chargement de paroi élevé et des températures élevées. Cette lampe germicide (18) convient particulièrement à un positionnement vertical dans un système de traitement des eaux usées (10).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for pumping from a well. A pump includes a piston assembly reciprocably engaged in a cylinder assembly. A spring mechanism coupled to an anchor point above the piston assembly provides upward force on the piston assembly. The piston assembly is made to reciprocate to pump fluid. Reciprocation may be achieved by drawing an upper end of the spring member up and down or by applying and releasing pressure to a column of fluid above the pump.

Title: Improvements relating to an imaging apparatus and method
Inventor: HALL CHARLES DAVID
IPC: G01S7/40
Filed: 2004-05-20
Granted: 2010-07-13
Abstract: An imaging apparatus (6) has means for illuminating a selected surface with a radar beam footprint, and means for profiling/processing the resultant radar returns in an efficient and logical fashion such as to derive radar attitude information in real time about a number of predefined axes associated with the radar which depends upon the relative dispositions of the radar and the selected surface and upon the radar beam footprint characteristics.  Advantageously, a plurality of transmit beams (10,11,12) are used to image the surface and the processing arrangement has the capability of determining roll, pitch and/or yaw pointing data associated with the radar, such pointing data being determined by derivation of the attitude information and by selective input of terrain elevation data so as to take account of variations in the radar viewing geometry with terrain elevation. The inventive radar bears a definite low cost advantage over known radar designs, and retains utility for many applications, for example spaceborne and airborne applications.

Title: Injectable sustained release delivery devices
Inventor: CHOU KANG-JYE
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 2004-10-26
Granted: 2015-08-18
Abstract: An injectable drug delivery device includes a core containing one or more drugs and one or more polymers. The core may be surrounded by one or more polymer outer layers (referred to herein as "coatings," "skins," or "outer layers"). In certain embodiments, the device is formed by extruding or otherwise preforming a polymeric skin for a drug core. The drug core may be co-extruded with the skin, or inserted into the skin after the skin has been extruded, and possibly cured. In other embodiments, the drug core may be coated with one or more polymer coatings. These techniques may be usefully applied to fabricate devices having a wide array of drug formulations and skins that can be selected to control the release rate profile and various other properties of the drugs in the drug core in a form suitable for injection using standard or non-standard gauge needles. The device may be formed by combining at least one polymer, at least one drug, and at least one liquid solvent to form a liquid suspension or solution wherein, upon injection, such suspension or solution under goes a phase change and forms a gel. The configuration may provide for controlled release of the drug(s) for an extended period.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for automating the work process of enclosing the exposed wire parts of a spring assembly for a bed mattress, thereby maximizing the convenience of the enclosing process and work productivity. The apparatus encloses exposed wire parts of coil springs in a spring assembly for a bed mattress. The enclosure of the exposed wire parts protrudingly formed in the spring assembly is performed automatically so that the various work loads and the number of work processes involved in the enclosing work can be minimized, thus maximizing productivity as well as minimizing the cost of the enclosing work. The production cost of the mattress is thus reduced, and the product competitiveness of the mattress is improved.

Abstract: Biological nutrient removal (BNR) in municipal wastewater treatment to remove carbonaceous substrates, nutrients and phosphorus, has recently become increasingly popular worldwide due to increasingly stringent regulations. Biological fluidized bed (BFB) technology, which could be potentially used for BNR processes, can provide some advantages such as high efficiency and compact structure. This present invention incorporates the fixed-film biological fluidized bed technology with the biological nutrient removal in a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed, which has achieved the simultaneous elimination of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, in a very efficient manner and with very compact space requirements. The BNR-LSCFB has two fluidized beds, running as anoxic/anaerobic and aerobic processes to accomplish simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and to remove carbonaceous substrates, nutrients and phosphorus, with continuous liquid and solids recirculation through the anoxic/anaerobic bed and the aerobic bed. The new BNR-LSCFB system is not only an excellent alternative for conventional activated sludge type BNR technologies but is also capable of processing much higher loadings and suitable for industrial applications.

Title: Flare stack combustion method and apparatus
Inventor: MASHHOUR MAZEN M
IPC: F23G7/08
Filed: 2005-12-02
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: High-pressure air is discharged in the form of jets moving at a high velocity from nozzles mounted on a ring around the interior of the flare stack, placed at a predetermined distance from the flare tip and the portion of the surrounding stack wall downstream of the jets is perforated with air passages to admit atmospheric air. The high-velocity air movement induces a larger volume of air from the atmosphere to enter the stack where it rises to the flame zone, thereby lifting the flame and enhancing turbulent mixing of air and gas in the flame zone. Adequate stoichiometric amounts of oxygen to assure complete combustion are determined by measuring any variations of the mass flow rate of the fuel gas and/or undesired chemical and effecting a corresponding adjustment of an air flow control valve to admit a predetermined amount of pressurized air and/or atmospheric air to the flaring tip. A Coanda-effect body is positioned proximate the open end of the flare stack to improve the mixing of the air feedstream with atmospheric air and combustible components and to elevate the heat of the flame above the metal structural elements that control air flow at the top of the flare stack.
