Title: Noninvasive intraductal fluid diagnostic screen
Inventor: MORTON KEVIN
IPC: A61M1/06
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for accomplishing a noninvasive screen f or breast disease markers, including breast cancer markers and cytologically abnormal cells. Intraductal fluid is noninvasively aspirated using compression, heating, and suction cycles. The removed sample is thereafter assayed for the presence of cytologically abnormal cells and/or one or more breast disease markers. Sample size and intraductal mobility of breast disea se markers may be enhanced by retrograde introduction of a carrier. A portable, self-contained intraductal fluid aspiration device (20) includes a housing (22), one or more controls and/or indicators (25), and a patient or breast interface (24) having a tissue contacting surface (32) for receiving a breas t and a second concavity (38) for receiving a nipple. Preferably, the breast interface (24) is provided with a dynamic compression zone (42), having one or more compression elements (45) for compression in the mid breast region to facilitate intraductal fluid aspiration.

Abstract: A hydraulic liner hanger (100) is provided. The liner hanger comprises a tubular body (110). A plurality of slips (140) are disposed radially around the outer surface of the body. In one arrangement, each slip has wickers (144) for engaging the inner surface of a surrounding string of casing (50). Each slip is connected to a slip ring (120), the slip ring also being circumferentially disposed around the outer surface of the body. At least some of the slip members are received upon a wedge surface (150), or cone(s). In operation, an expander tool (200) such as a hydraulic setting tool acts upon the liner hanger, causing the slips (140) to be expanded into frictional engagement with the surrounding string of casing (50). The operator is then able to slack off the weight of the liner, allowing multiple slips to engage the casing and to suspend the liner therebelow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of bleaching cellulose pulp in a bleach line having at least two bleaching steps D1, D2 of alkaline or acidic type, and a bleaching line for the method, in which the filtrate distribution is led up through the bleaching line in counter-current to the flow of cellulose pulp established in the bleaching line. Instead of a conventional filtrate distribution including filtrate tanks, a single joint main conduit 1 is used for the bleaching steps of the same type.      Wash filtrate obtained from the wash steps of the same type used after or before the bleaching step, is led to a branch point A2, A4, A6 on the main conduit 1, that is positioned after the branch point for drawing off of wash and/or dilution liquor for the wash step in question A1, A3, A5, A7. All branch points in the joint main conduit are in open communication with each other in the main conduit, at least as seen in a direction from the last bleaching step. Hereby, a simplified and improved filtrate distribution system with an improved runnability is obtained.

Title: Procede de gaufrage a chaud et de liaisonnement a sec
Inventor: BAGGOT JAMES L
IPC: B31F1/07
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un procédé permettant de gaufrer à chaud une feuille de base et/ou de perforer et de liaisonner plusieurs jets intermédiaires d'un article en papier. Il est possible d'utiliser ce procédé pour appliquer un motif décoratif sur un article en papier et/ou pour liaisonner des articles multi-jets. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce procédé consiste à faire passer une feuille déjà formée, à un seul ou à plusieurs jets, dans une pince de gaufrage. On chauffe la feuille de base et on la soumet à une certaine pression, suffisamment pour que les fibres qu'elle renferme commencent à fondre ou à se transformer en papier cristal. Après refroidissement, le liaisonnement se fait entre les fibres, ce qui permet d'obtenir un gaufrage bien délimité ainsi qu'un bon liaisonnement entre les jets de cet article multi-jets.

Patent CA-2481341-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATHIEU ALFRED L
IPC: F03D3/02
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: The basic principle is that two vertical wind turbines adjacent to each other having their propellers integrate at the center supplements the wind energy captured by each turbine. The framework system comprises of an identical lower platform and upper platform, secured firmly and precisely together with the required braces. The vertical distance between the two platforms is according to the required vertical length of each rotor/shaft. The system is supported under the lower platform in the center by a "pivotal base" and by three wheels located equidistant on the peripheral such that the framework can rotate perpendicular to the wind according to the pressure exerted by the wind vane, in a full circle, when need be. The wheels fit snugly between two circular raised tracks which keep them in a fixed radius from the "pivotal base". The vertical rotor of each turbine is set so that the distance between the two rotors permits one half of the radius of their propeller blades, more or less, to integrate at the center on rotation. The set of horizontal propeller blades of one rotor is vertically spaced such that when "stacked" there is sufficient space for the adjacent "stacked"  rotor propeller blades to integrate in the vertical space between them and in the middle sector. For example, each rotor may have 4 horizontal blades, more or less, each blade having a width of 20 cm, more or less, thus each set of rotor blades has a vertical space between them of two thirds of the width of the blade, that is 60 cm, more or less. The height of the rotor of each turbine is calculated so as to make possible 4 or 5, more or less, "stacked" set of propeller blades. The length of each blade is 3 meters long, more or less and that is dependent on the proportion of the interrelated components. It is only in the central sector that integration of propeller blades occurs while the remaining circumference of the propellers is free and unhampered of movement.  Each propeller blade is supported by an oblique vertical brace from the propeller to the rotor, and also by a horizontal tangential flat brace between each blade. Together the braces provide extra rigidity to the propeller system when under high wind velocity. The wind deflector apparatus consists of an aerodynamic frontal and hull bisector vertical fin assembly that is centrally set in the middle of the turbines to bisect and deflects the wind energy onto the positive power segment of each rotor while shielding and thus minimizing the negative power segment of each turbine as they are rotating.

Abstract: The present invention is a gauge for checking a vehicle's wheel alignment for toe, camber, and caster. The gauge is used with the vehicle on the ground and its wheels on.  The gauge comprises equal length extension rods, with magnets at each end, at least three of which are inserted through each wheel's vent holes or spokes. Their inboard ends magnetically attach to the disc brake rotor's surface behind the wheel, and they extend perpendicularly therefrom. Sheet steel plates rest on the ground beyond the bodywork and magnetically attach to the rod's outboard ends. Alignment arms magnetically attach to these plates. The arms extend from the plates and have lasers at their ends. The lasers aim perpendicularly across the vehicle at each other. Each arm has an abutment arm which contact's the leading edge of each wheel (or rotors, when the wheels are removed). Targets on each laser have center holes and a printed grid. The laser dots, if not on center, provide a first measurement, and the distance between the arms the second. The number obtained by dividing the first by the second, gives the SINE of the wheel's angle. Published SINE Tables (or a calculator), gives the wheel's angle. The gauge can be quickly mounted both vertically and horizontally for camber or toe measurements respectively. The gauge is attached to the rotor when the wheels are off, to direct alignment adjustments.
