IPC: E05F15/42
Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: A door system for a cold storage locker has increased resistance to damage when by including resilient door panels that flex when hit by a forklift. A high degree of insulation is achieved by the choice and thickness of the resilient foams therein. Also, the resilient door panels are magnetically attracted to a gasket seat on a doorframe to provide an affirmative seal. Active magnetic control may enhance the attraction or repulsion of the door panel. Frost control is realized by warming air from the cold storage locker and passing it through air channels in the door panel proximate to the gasket seal and down an astragal interface between door panels. Door panels of laminate, bagged poured foam formation, and self-skinning foam formation give further reduced cost of manufacture and shipping.

Title: Respiratory humidification system
Inventor: MCPHEE STEPHEN WILLIAM
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: A flow probe for use in a humidification system is disclosed. The flow probe is adapted to be positioned in a humidified gases flow (for example oxygen or anaesthetic gases) such as that which is provided to a patient in a hospital environment.  The flow probe is designed to provide both temperature and flow rate sensing of the gases flow by incorporating two sensors (preferably thermistors) and the shape and alignment of the probe enables accurate readings by reducing the occurrence of condensation on the sensors. A number of possible applications are disclosed wherein the flow sensor is included in humidification control systems which provide a patient with a desired humidity level or simplify the amount of user input required or wherein the flow sensor provides a controller with flow information which may then be used to determine certain, possibly dangerous, conditions (such as incorrect flow sensor placement, breathing circuit disconnected, no water in the humidification chamber or humidity out of required limits).

Title: Shading of translucent objects
Inventor: VALLE PABLO
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2008-10-07
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate for rendering translucent objects.  According to some embodiments, the color of a pixel of a translucent object that is not directly illuminated by a light source can be determined by decaying the illumination contributed by the light source according to a predefined decay function. The decay function may be, for example, an exponential decay function. The decay function may be evaluated based on an initial illumination contributed by the light source, and a transmittance distance. In some embodiments, the initial color of the pixel is decayed instead of the illumination. Also disclosed is modifying the renderings of different regions of an object which have been rendered using different methods in order to remove sharp contrasts between these regions.

Abstract: A medical device including a medical device thin metallic film component (such as a thin metallic angioplasty balloon), with perforations therethrough, attached to a medical device polymeric component (e.g., a polymeric tubular catheter) abutting the thin metallic film component. The medical device also includes a polymeric sleeve covering the perforations and at least a portion of the polymeric component abutting the thin metallic film component.  Moreover, the polymeric sleeve intrudes into the perforations and joins the thin metallic film component to the polymeric component. A method for attaching a medical device thin metallic film component (for example a thin metallic film angioplasty balloon) to a medical device polymeric component (e.g., a tubular polymeric catheter) includes forming a plurality of perforations in the medical device thin metallic film component and abutting the medical device polymeric component against the medical device thin metallic component.  Subsequently, a polymeric sleeve is applied over the perforations and at least a portion of the abutted medical device polymeric component. Heat and/or pressure is then applied to the polymer sleeve in a manner that results in the polymer sleeve being joined to the medical device thin metallic film and the portion of the abutted medical device polymeric component and the polymer sleeve flowing into the perforations, thereby attaching the medical device thin metallic film component to the medical device polymeric component.

Inventor: KUMMER WOLFGANG
IPC: C22B34/34
Filed: 2007-07-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of recovering molybdenum from a molybdenum bearing sulfide material. The material is contacted with a leaching solution in the presence of iron compounds and mesophilic or thermophilic iron oxidizing microorganisms and subsequently, a leaching process is performed by controlling the molar ratio of dissolved ferric iron to dissolved molybdenum. Preferably, a high amount and molar excess of dissolved iron is used. The presence of high concentrations of ferric iron in bioleach solutions allows iron-oxidizing microorganisms to grow and oxidize iron and bioleach molybdenite at dissolved Mo concentrations as high as 4.4 g/L. Organic metabolites were not required for protecting cells from Mo toxicity. Maximum dissolution rates depend on reactor configuration, with agglomerated material simulating heap leaching of almost 1% Mo/day, but up to 10.2% Mo/day in suspension/stirred reactor configurations, with rate highly dependent on temperature within the range of 25°C to 40°C. The ultimate extent of Mo removal from the molybdenum bearing sulfide material is 89%. Finally, molybdenum is recovered from a leach residue of the leaching process.

Title: Intramyocardial patterning for global cardiac resizing and reshaping
Inventor: LEE RANDALL J
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: Cardiomyopathy may be treated by distributing space-occupying agent within the myocardium in a pattern about one or more chambers of the heart, such that the space-modifying agent integrates into and thickens at least part of the cardiac wall about the chamber so as globally to reduce wall stress and stabilize or even reduce chamber size. Some patterns also cause a beneficial global reshaping of the chamber. These changes occur quickly and are sustainable, and have a rapid and sustainable therapeutic effect on cardiac function. Over time the relief of wall stress reduces oxygen consumption and promotes healing. Moreover, various long-term therapeutic effects may be realized depending on the properties of the space-occupying agent, including combinations.with other therapeutic materials. Specific cardiac conditions treatable by these systems and methods include, for example, dilated cardiomyopathy (with or without overt aneurismal formations), congestive heart failure, and ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions, and mitral regurgitation.
