Abstract: Determining the calorific value of natural gas by IR absorption spectrometry uses a single temperature-dependent-variable spectral monomode laser. The number of natural gas components to be detected is stipulated according to a specified accuracy. The emission wavelength of the laser covers at least one specified absorption line in the spectrum of each component. Preferred Features: The monomode laser is a laser diode. The process is carried out in the near or middle IR wavelength region. CH-vibrations of the hydrocarbon molecule are measured in the region of 1.68 Microm in the upper band region. At least methane, ethane, propane and butane are measured. Heavy hydrocarbons, water and carbon dioxide are measured by a further laser or laser diodes.

Abstract: It has been discovered that a mechanical flotation system having only two cells can be nearly as efficient as one having more cells, yet provide an apparatus with a considerably smaller footprint, significantly reduced capital and operating costs, as well as be resistant to floating oil recovery platform wave effects. The dual-cell mechanical flotation system has, in sequential order, an inlet chamber (16) and two gasification chambers or cells (18,20), each with at least one gas ingestion and mixing mechanism (32), and a discharge chamber (22). A common primary skim collection channel (40) atop the partition diving the gasification chambers efficiently channels away the bulk of the floating collected matter. At least one baffle (60) depending from the top of the vessel near the primary skim collection channel (40) helps dampen the action of the fluid containing the suspended matter when the vessel is affected by wave motion against the floating oil production platform. A partition (42) dividing the inlet chamber (16) from the first gasification chamber (18) and a partition (46) dividing the second gasification chamber (20) from the outlet chamber (22) both extending from the top of the vessel downward.

Abstract: A magnetic dipole model based on MCG data of the heart is used to localize cardiac tissue afflicted with ischemia. The direction of displacement of the dipole during the ST segment, superimposed on the heart's general outline, indicates a rough location of the ischemic cardiac tissue (410,412). Furthermore, the extent of ischemia is quantified based upon how much displacement occurs in the ST segment (414). For example, if significant dipole displacement occurs in the first quarter of the ST segment, then it is identified as a first-degree ischemia. Similarly, if displacement occurs in 1/2, 3/4, or 1 full ST segment, then the level of ischemia is identified as second degree, thrid degree, or fourth degree ischemia (fourth degree being the worst kind of ischemia where the dipole's position is dynamic all throughout the ST segment).

Abstract: A ligation device includes a cannula having first and second extendable members and a Doppler wand. The Doppler wand permits an anatomical vessel, such as a blood vessel, to be located in close proximity to the distal end of the cannula. The extendable members are extendable on two opposite sides of the vessel. A length of ligation material, such as suture material, extends through the first extendable member, and is attached to a detachable element mounted to the distalmost end of the extendable member. The second extendable member includes a snare. The first extendable member includes curved portions which, when the member is extended distally, extend the detachable element into position for the snare so that the snare can grab the loop. Once ensnared, the detachable element is released from the first extendable member, which pulls the ligation material around the vessel. The ligation device does not require prior visualization or dissection of the area around the vessel.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and an apparatus for the manufacture of an L-ascorbic acid product in high yield by direct conversion of an aqueous solution containing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid by contact with an acid catalyst or under thermal self-catalyzed conditions at a conversion level that maximizes the formation of L-ascorbic acid and minimizes decomposition of the L-ascorbic acid thus formed. The separation process for L-ascorbic acid and KLG is operated in such a way that an efficient separation process allows the majority of the KLG to be recycled for further conversion. The product stream from the separation process is then subjected to a recovery step to obtain crystalline L-ascorbic acid product.
