Patent EP-1570163-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BARBARIE T VINCE
IPC: F02B3/06

Abstract: A method and system are provided for reducing tailpipe emissions of a lean burn, multi-fuel engine (20) by improving the efficiency of an oxidation catalyst (50) of the engine through avoiding unnecessary cooling of the catalyst. For instance, a lean burn, unthrottled dual fuel engine (20) may be configured to route exhaust gases away from a methane reducing catalyst (50) of the engine during periods of diesel-only operation. Those gases that could otherwise lead to undesired cooling of the methane reducing catalyst. The catalyst thus remains hotter and maintains higher conversion efficiencies than it would if gases were always exhausted through the methane reducing catalyst.

Abstract: A method of forming a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) using a sacrificial cap layer (20) on top of the memory cells (10) and the structure resulting therefrom are described. A plurality of individual magnetic memory devices (10) with cap layers (20) are fabricated on a substrate. A continuous first insulator layer (20, 22) is deposited over the substrate and the magnetic memory devices. Portions of the first insulator layer are removed at least over the magnetic memory devices (10) and then the cap layers (20) are selectively removed from the magnetic memory devices (10), thus exposing active top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10). The top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10) are recessed below the top surface of the first insulator layer (22). Top conductors are formed in contact with the active top surfaces of the magnetic memory devices (10). In an illustrated embodiment, spacers (36) are also formed along the sides of the magnetic memory devices (10) before the first insulator layer (20, 22) is deposited.

Abstract: The nutritional deficiencies which constitute a serious side-effect of intestinal cleansing procedures can be alleviated or entirely avoided by a composition and method according to the present invention, wherein a complex carbohydrate is administered to the patient in a form and an amount which gives a blood glucose response similar to that following a normal meal, and stabilizes the blood glucose level above 3.5 mmol/l, preferably above about 4 mmol/l, thus preventing hypoglycaemia. The composition and method is suitable for all patients, but in particular for weakened, elderly or diabetic patients. The composition and method significantly improves the well-being of the patients, and does not reduce the cleansing effect achieved by conventional intestinal cleansing preparations or procedures, and has no known side effects. The preferred complex carbohydrate is native corn starch, and the composition may also include a simple carbohydrate, e.g. sucrose.
