Abstract: An acoustic detection of a discrete acoustic signal allows to detect a leak behind a casing (23) of a borehole. An acoustic amplitude (AA) is sampled during a recording time period (24 ; 64) at a determined position along the tube. Time intervals (26 ; 66) are defined inside of the recording time period (24), and for each time interval (26) the measured acoustic amplitudes are processed to obtain respectively a corresponding power-frequency spectrum (261). A plurality of the power-frequency spectra are analysed to identify the discrete acoustic signal by detecting time and frequency dependant changes of power. Preferably the processing involves a Fourier transform analysis. A power-frequency time plot is used to conveniently identify the discrete acoustic event. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2006-12-27
Abstract: The present invention provides an intraluminal stent comprising a metallic reinforcing component and a biodegradable polymeric material covering at least a portion of the metallic reinforcing component. The metallic reinforcing component provides structural reinforcement for the stent, but this reinforcement is insufficient, in the absence of the biodegradable polymeric material, to provide a stent capable of maintaining patency of a lumen upon implantation of the stent into the lumen. One advantage of the present invention, among others, is that a stent is provided in which reduced amounts of metallic component remain after degradation of the biodegradable polymeric material covering, in turn reducing the incidence of metal-associated adverse events that frequently follow implantation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filtration device for separating particles from a liquid using hollow-fibre membranes, which are combined to form a fibre bundle. The hollow-fibre membranes are traversed by the liquid from the exterior to the interior and the liquid that has been cleaned of the particles is withdrawn at at least one of the ends of the hollow-fibre membrane. The hollow-fibre membrane bundle is wound onto a support, whose external peripheral surface can be traversed by a gas at least partially from the interior to the exterior. The winding of the hollow-fibre bundle onto the support permits a space-saving arrangement and allows deposited materials to be reliably cleaned from the hollow-fibre membranes. The filtration device can be used on its own or in the form of a module containing several devices for purifying waste water. The invention also relates to a method for purifying waste water using the filtration module and a membrane bioreactor.
