Title: Beverage pack adapter and beverage supply device
Inventor: KAWAGUCHI SUSUMU
IPC: B65D5/74
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A fixing member is fixed to a beverage pack in a state in which a through-hole and an opening are aligned. Next, the pointed end of an adapter body is inserted into the opening through the through-hole.  This causes the pointed end to puncture a film and pass through the opening, but a flange serves as a stopper so that just the pointed end is inserted into the beverage pack. At this point the surrounding area is kept liquid-tight by a seal, and the adapter body is prevented from falling out by ridges provided to this. One end of a tube is connected to a joint of the adapter body. A catheter is connected to the other end of this tube, allowing a nutritional beverage contained in the beverage pack to be discharged directly from the catheter.

Inventor: TABAROVSKY LEONTY A
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: Measurements made by a multicomponent logging tool in a borehole are inverte d to obtain horizontal and vertical resistivities and formation dip and azimut h angles of a formation traversed by the borehole. The invention is performed using a generalized Marquardt-Levenberg method. In this generalized Marquard t- Levenberg method, a data objective function is defined that is related to a difference between the model output and the measured data. The iterative procedure involves reducing a global objective function that is the sum of t he data objective function and a model objective function related to changes in the model in successive iterations. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the formation azimuth angle is excluded from the iterative proces s by using derived relations between the multicomponent measurements.
