Title: Steerable catheter with hydraulic or pneumatic actuator
Inventor: KNUDSON JOHN C
IPC: A61M25/092
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: A hydraulically assisted actuator in a handle (e.g., 6) connects with a catheter having a deflectable distal ablation tip (e.g., 64).

IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: Bitumen extraction done using a process comprising: (a) preparing a bitumen froth comprising particulate mineral solids and hydrocarbons dispersed in aqueous lamella in the form of an emulsion; (b) adding a sufficient amount of a paraffinic solvent to the froth to induce inversion of the emulsion and precipitate asphaltenes from the resultant hydrocarbon phase; (c) mixing the froth and the solvent for a sufficient time to dissolve the solvent into the hydrocarbon phase to precipitate asphaltenes; and (d) subjecting the mixture to gravity or centrifugal separation for a sufficient period to separate substantially all of the water and solids and a substantial portion of the asphaltenes from the bitumen; wherein a separation enhancing additive is present in the process. The separation enhancing additive is a polymeric surfactant that has multiple lipophilic and hydrophilic moieties, which can effect easier handling of asphaltene sludges and less foaming during solvent recovery.

Inventor: HAN JAE MYUNG
IPC: E02B3/14
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrophilic revetment block constructed on the slope of seashore, harbor, river, reservoir, dam, etc. Whereas conventional revetment blocks are focused on their individual functional advantages, the revetment block of the present invention offers a variety of functions, namely, space for plants, conservation of ecosystem and protection of lakeshore through wave dissipation and reduction of water flow rate at once. On the block is provided a space for plants. The block is constructed lower than the water surface to offer living space for fish. Projections are formed at the front bottom of the block to prevent collapse of a revetment block by waves or water flow. The projections serve the purpose of stirs, so that people may have easy access to the shore. The space for water outflow and fish growing dissipates the energy of the water which flowed in through the water inlets formed at the bottom of the block, thereby offering better stability.

Title: Presenting advertising content
Inventor: RAGHUVAMSHI VINAYAK
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2006-06-15
Abstract: In an implementation, a client system receives a media stream from a content distribution system and presents the received media stream. When an advertising opportunity occurs in the media stream, the content distribution system inserts one or more initial ads and meta-data associated with the advertising opportunity into the media stream. The client system detects the meta-data, which causes the client system to buffer at least a portion of one or more follow-up ads from another source while the initial ad is being presented. Once the client system finishes presenting the initial ad(s), the client system switches to presenting the one or more follow-up ads during the advertising opportunity, and then switches back to the media stream at the end of the advertising opportunity.
