Abstract: A fluid treatment system (100) for placement in a flanged pipe fluid conveyance system. The fluid treatment system (100) comprises a flanged ductile iron pipe fitting (105). The ductile iron pipe fitting (105) comprises: a first flanged opening (110) and a second flanged opening (120) in substantial alignment to define a flow axis aligned substantially parallel to a direction of fluid flow (A) through the first opening (110) and the second opening (120); and a third flanged opening (130) comprising a first cover element (155). The first cover element (155) has connected thereto at least one radiation source (150) assembly comprising at least one elongate radiation source having a longitudinal axis substantially transverse to the flow axis.  In its preferred form, the fluid treatment system may be advantageously utilized to treat fluid such as water, e.g., municipal waste water, municipal drinking water and the like.

Title: Changing the operational mode of a communication device using a voice service option
Inventor: MAURO ANTHONY
IPC: H04M1/7243
Filed: 2003-12-11
Abstract: Changing a mode of operation of a destination communication device by establishing a voice service option communication channel over a network (120) between an initiating device (104) and a destination device (105). Using the voice service option communication channel, a predetermined sequence of data is transmitted from the initiating device to the destination device. The predetermined sequence of data specifies a different operation mode of the destination device. The destination device receives the data packet and determines if it is a predetermined sequence of data. If the data packet is a predetermined sequence of data then the destination device (105) examines the sequence of data and changes its operational mode in response to the predetermined sequence of data. The predetermined sequence of data may be transmitted in compliance with a TTY standard for data communication.

Patent CA-2510076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HASSLER WILLIAM L JR
IPC: A61N1/378
Filed: 2005-06-15
Abstract: Adjustable gastric band implants contain a hollow elastomeric balloon with fixed end points encircling a patient's stomach just inferior to the esophago-gastric junction.  These balloons can expand and contract through the introduction of saline solution into the balloon. In current bands, this saline solution must be injected into a subcutaneous port with a needle to reach the port located below the skin surface. The port communicates hydraulically with the band via a catheter. As an alternative to using a percutaneously accessed injection port, a system for regulating the flow of saline that is totally implanted may rely upon bi-directionally pumping fluid from an implant device. This system instead transfers AC magnetic flux energy from an external primary coil to a secondary coil that powers the pump in the implanted reservoir. A magnetically permeable rod centered within the primary coil increases power coupled to the secondary coil.
