Abstract: A method and system for guiding a vehicle comprises a location module (26) (e.g., location-determining receiver) for collecting preliminary location data for the vehicle. A vision module (22) collects vision-derived location data for the vehicle during an evaluation time window. A location quality estimator (24) estimates location quality data for the corresponding collected preliminary location data during an evaluation time window. A vision module (22) estimates vision quality data for the corresponding collected vision-derived location data during the evaluation time window. A adjuster (110) adjusts the preliminary location data to a revised location data based on the vision-derived location data such that the revised location data is registered with or generally coextensive with the vision-derived location data, if the vision quality data exceeds the minimum threshold level.

Abstract: A transdermal drug delivery device comprises a reservoir layer (10), which consists of one or more chambers (24) for containing a drug. A lower surface of the reservoir layer (10) is bounded by a resilient membrane (12), which is perforated by pores (26) through which the drug may be delivered from the chambers (24). Connected to the reservoir layer (10) is an extensor means (18), which can be actuated by control means (22) to deform the reservoir layer (10) such that the chambers (24) are compressed and the pores (26) are enlarged, thereby forcing the drug from the chambers (24) through the pores (26) and into contact with the patient~s skin (30). When the resilient membrane (12) is adhered to the skin (30), the extension and relaxation of the device causes simultaneous stretching and relaxation of the skin (30), disrupting the barrier presented by the skin~s surface and enhancing delivery of the drug.

Title: System for measurement of process control fluid consumption
Inventor: LOVELL MICHEL KEN
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2006-12-08
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A system and method for accurately measuring supply gas consumed by a particular process control component within a process control system is disclosed. Enhanced measurement accuracy is derived from measuring the consumption of the process control component in a normal operating mode of the process control system. The amount of fluid expended by one process control component is separated by a fluid control system from the amount of supply gas expended in actuating other process control components. The amount of fluid expended by each component may be determined by measuring a decrease in a fluid within a vessel having a known quantity that independently supplies supply gas to each component during its operation.

Abstract: A method for treating drain in hydrogen production includes steps of gasifying in a gasifier (1), reforming in a reformer (2), gas-liquid separation in a gas-liquid separator (4), PSA gas separation in a PSA separator (5) and evaporation in a drain treatment unit (6). In the gasifying, a mixed material containing methanol is heated and gasified.  In the reforming, reformed gas containing hydrogen is produced from the mixed material by reforming reaction of methanol. In the gas-liquid separation, a liquid component is separated from the reformed gas and discharged as drain.  In the PSA gas separation, hydrogen-rich gas and offgas are extracted from the reformed gas by PSA separation using an adsorption tower. In the gasifying, the offgas is burned, and the mixed material is heated by using the combustion gas as heat source. In the evaporation, drain is evaporated using the combustion gas after heating the mixed material as heat source.
