Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de mélanger deux fluides de viscosité extrêmement différentes, de sorte que le rapport des deux viscosités s'élève au moins à 10 000:1. Le fluide de faible viscosité est injecté dans le fluide de haute viscosité s'écoulant à travers un conduit, de sorte que le fluide de faible viscosité représente au moins 30  % en poids du poids total des fluides de faible et de haute viscosité. Ces deux fluides sont ensuite acheminés vers un deuxième conduit renfermant un premier ensemble d'éléments mélangeurs statiques qui fournissent une vitesse de cisaillement de fluides supérieure à 0,57 s-1. Ces deux fluides sont ensuite acheminés vers un troisième conduit renfermant un second ensemble d'éléments mélangeurs statiques d'un diamètre supérieur à celui du premier ensemble et qui fournissent une vitesse de cisaillement de fluides supérieure à 0,20 s-1. Ces deux fluides forment un mélange homogène à l'intérieur du troisième conduit.

Title: Preparations exothermiques pour le traitement d'ectoparasites
Inventor: VAN SCOIK KURT G
IPC: A61P31/14
Filed: 2002-06-07
Abstract: Des ectoparasites, tels que des puces, des tiques, des mites et des poux sont retirés d'un hôte animal ou humain après application d'une composition fluide qui a pour effet d'augmenter ou d'abaisser la température de la zone traitée par rapport à la température normale. Dans un mode de réalisation, le traitement est réalisé par application d'une composition libérant de la chaleur au contact avec l'eau. L'augmentation ou l'abaissement de la température permet d'immobiliser les parasites, facilitant ainsi leur retrait mécanique, par exemple, avec un peigne.

Title: Enlevement selectif d'oxyde metallique
Inventor: HOBBS CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: H01L29/10
Filed: 2002-06-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne un oxyde métallique utilisé comme diélectrique de grille (22), qui est enlevé au moyen d'une combinaison de HCl gazeux, de chaleur et d'une absence de rf. L'oxyde métallique, de préférence de l'oxyde de hafnium, est enlevé de manière efficace des zones qui ne sont pas sous l'électrode grille (18). L'utilisation de HCl produit l'oxyde interfacial (25) qui est en dessous de l'oxyde métallique qui n'a pas été enlevé. L'oxyde interfacial, enlevé afin d'éliminer le métal, est remplacé par une autre couche d'oxyde interfacial (27). Les étapes d'implantation consécutives se font ainsi par le biais uniquement d'un oxyde interfacial (27) et non d'un oxyde métallique. Les problèmes en matière d'implantation par le biais d'un oxyde métallique sont ainsi évités.

Abstract: A coupling (10) for the connection of a plastic or metal pipe (12) includes a hollow body (14) with an external thread (16) and a tapered inner surface (24). A nut (20) engages the body external thread (16), having at one end an internal thread (22) co-operable witch said body external thread (16) and at the other en an outwardly converging inner tapered surface (40). The coupling (10) includes a deformable gripping member assembly having housing (32) with an outwardly converging outer surface (42), the housing holding a metal band (34) having a plurality of radially inward projections (36) circumferentially disposed in at least one row. Typically the housing (32) is a split-ring type housing and holds the metal band (34) in a snap-fit type arrangement. Upon tightening of the nut (20), said nut inner tapered surface (40) abuts against and exerts a force on said gripping members outer surface (42) both in the longitudinal and radial directions to thereby cause the gripping member assembly to be urged both radially and longitudinally and thereby fixedly retain said pipe (12). The metal band projections ensure that the coupling can be used to retain both plastic and metal pipes. The metal projections are preferably burst-type holes having walls whose orientation is not parallel to the longitudinal or axial orientation of the coupling.

Title: High-stability optical microscope
Inventor: KINOSHITA KAZUHIKO
IPC: G02B21/00
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: Optical microscopes are used to record images or take measurements for
extended times of several hours. During such extended usage, the microscope moves
slightly causing the object to shift or defocus (drift). This invention provides a
highly stable optical microscope that prevents drift and makes it possible to record
images or take measurements for several hours with accuracy in the order of
nanometers. 
     The highly stable optical microscope of this invention comprises the support
structure 42 that accommodates and supports components comprising the optical
imaging system, straight tube 28 that accommodates and supports components
comprising the optical photometric system, and support structure 7 that
accommodates and supports components comprising the illumination system. These
support structures have a hollow pyramid or conical shape with a low center of
gravity. The highly stable optical microscope of this invention features the objective
lenses, imaging lenses, optical imaging and photometric systems that are mounted,
forming a straight line, on the supporting structures that are symmetrical about the
optical axis in both shape and mass.
