Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé améliorés facilitant l'accès à un conduit du corps humain. Ledit dispositif comprend un cathéter à plusieurs lumières dont un fil coupant de sphinctérotome est disposé dans une première lumière et fixé par son extrémité proximale à un dispositif de déploiement du sphinctérotome, et dont un fil coupant de lame-aiguille est disposé à l'intérieur d'une seconde lumière et fixé par son extrémité proximale à un dispositif de déploiement d'une lame-aiguille. En utilisant ce dispositif, un médecin peut réaliser une sphinctérotomie endoscopique classique et une sphinctérotomie à lame-aiguille sans avoir à changer d'instruments par l'endoscope. Ainsi, il a plus facilement et plus efficacement accès à un conduit du corps humain. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de réaliser une sphinctérotomie combinée à sphinctérotome et à lame-aiguille pour laquelle il n'est plus nécessaire de retirer de l'endoscope l'un des deux instruments avant de pouvoir utiliser l'autre instrument.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des procédés et des compositions qui permettent de former des films protecteurs et/ou comprenant des médicaments sur des tissus corporels. Ces compositions liquides contiennent un polymère modifié de manière hydrophobe et autre qu'une cellulose estérifiée et substituée par un hydroxyalkyle inférieur, lequel polymère est mis en suspension ou dissous dans un solvant. Ce polymère modifié est soluble dans le solvant mais insoluble dans les fluides corporels. Ces compositions peuvent éventuellement contenir un composant médicinal distinct, à savoir un composant qui est ajouté aux éventuels médicaments se trouvant dans le solvant, dans le polymère modifié et dans tout autre composant d'addition tel que des agents de saveur, des agents de pénétration cutanée, des conservateurs, d'autres solvants pour les additifs, etc. Un film protecteur et/ou comprenant des médicaments peut ainsi être formé in situ sur un tissu corporel en appliquant la composition liquide audit tissu, et en séparant le solvant de la composition, par exemple par évaporation.

Abstract: The present invention is a communications cable [100] having two or more
optical fiber ribbons [20] that are stacked in a rectangular array [200] and disposed
within a cylindrical tube [12], which is positioned at the center of the cable. Such a
cable is known as a central-core cable. The stack of ribbons is stranded ( i.e.,  twisted)
in one direction for a first predetermined distance and then stranded in the opposite
direction for a second predetermined distance. These distances are approximately
equal to each other. Such stranding is known as S-Z stranding. A lubricant [351] is
applied between adjacent ribbons of the stack to hold the stack together as a unit
while, at the same time, allowing sliding movement between the ribbons. Example
lubricants include oils and electrostatically charged powders. The surface tension of
the oil provides the desired "bonding" effect to maintain stack integrity during
longitudinal stranding while still allowing the individual ribbons to reposition
themselves for minimum stress and, consequently, low cabling loss.

Abstract: The by-product is reduced in hydrogen to a concentration of 5% or less, preferably ca. 2%, to form a mostly methane fuel gas to feed a turbine combustion chamber. At least part of the residual gas (13) left from the reduction process and rich in hydrogen is used to fuel a post-combustion operation at the inlet to the recovery heater. The process uses a gas turbine (3) and a heater (4) recovering heat from the turbine exhaust gases (15) on an industrial site where one unit (1) forms a gaseous by-product (7) containing methane and hydrogen. Part of the residual gas is used to fuel an auxiliary heater (22) producing steam. A small amount of fuel (18,23), e.g. natural gas, is added to the fuel (17,21). The fuel contains 40-60% hydrogen. The reduction of hydrogen comprises treatment of the by-product by selective permeation. The gas turbine is the type with dry chamber combustion and low nitrogen oxide (NOx) production. The by-product contains 20-60% methane, 10-65% hydrogen and other components. The unit producing the by-product is a petrochemical installation, in particular a refinery, and the by-product has a composition of: 30-70% CH4, 10-40% H2, 0-40%  C2 and 0-20% other components. The fuel gas has a composition of 40-90% CH4 (preferably 50-90%), 0-5% H2, 0-45%  C2 and 0-25% other components.
