Title: Wound closure device and method
Inventor: LAFONTAINE DANIEL M
IPC: A61B17/10
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for closing a perforation in a wall of a patient's blood vessel or other organs. The apparatus includes an elongated support member having a distal end supporting one or more tissue engaging hooks configured to engage fibrous vessel tissue when moved in a first direction and to disengage the tissue when moved in a second direction, and a proximal end for applying rotational torque to the support member to cause the hooks to engage collagen fibrous tissue in the adventitia of the blood vessel or fibrous tissue in other body organs. The hooks engaging the collagen fiber causes the blood vessel tissue surrounding the perforation to be drawn into close proximity such that the perforation can be closed. The apparatus is deployed in an outer sheath with the hooks encased until a selected engaging location has been achieved. Puncture closure can be accomplished by various techniques, including stasis, cauterizing, or by clamping.

Inventor: ZAHEDI PARVIZ
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing liquid pig iron and/or steel blanks from materials containing iron oxide and optionally additives, preferably in the form of pieces and/or pellets. The feedstocks used are reduced to metallized iron ore in a reduction zone. The metallized iron ore is melted in a melt-down gasification zone with the addition of dried solid carbon carriers and oxygen-containing gases. A reduction gas containing CO and H2 is produced and fed into the reduction zone where it is reacted, drained off as top gas, gas washed and optionally supplied to a consumer as an export gas. Before it is washed, the top gas which is drained off from the reduction zone undergoes heat exchange with a heat exchanging fluid using all of its sensible heat. Solid carbon carriers (which are provided in order to be fed into the melt-down gasification zone) are dried with the warmed up heat exchanging fluid. The invention also relates to a system for carrying out the inventive method.

Title: Apparatus and method for delivering a cased glass stream
Inventor: DEMBICKI MICHAEL T
IPC: C03B7/098
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice for receiving core glass from a first source, and an orifice ring forming a second orifice vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice. A chamber surrounds the second orifice and communicates with the second orifice through a metering gap between the first and second orifices. Casing glass is delivered from a second source to the chamber, such that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. A heater ring of refractory material is disposed beneath the orifice ring, and includes at least one electrical heater embedded in the refractory material of the heater ring. The electrical heater is thus disposed external to the casing glass chamber for adding heat to casing glass flowing through the chamber to the metering gap. The heater ring in the preferred embodiment of the invention underlies and is contoured for facing engagement with the entire undersurface of the orifice ring for transferring heat energy through the orifice ring to glass in the casing glass chamber.

Abstract: Palladium-103 radiochemical of high radionuclidic purity can be produced in commercial scale quantities by irradiating enriched Palladium targets comprising a mixture of Pd isotopes with protons or deuterons in the 10-50 MeV energy range. Commercially viable batch sizes with acceptable specific activity of the product Pd-103 are achieved by adjusting the irradiation energy, irradiation time, irradiation current, current density, plated target mass, plated target shape, plated target size, target isotope enrichment levels, and incident angle of the target to the beam. The method for the production of Pd-103 comprises providing a target material enriched with Pd isotopes comprising atomic masses equal to or greater then Pd-103, applying the target material onto a target support; irradiating the target material with protons or deuterons of sufficient incident energy and time to convert at least some of the Pd isotopes within the target material to Pd-103; and purifying Pd from the non-Pd components.

Title: Swivel torque tube arrangement
Inventor: MONTGOMERY MARSHALL N
IPC: B63B21/50
Filed: 1999-06-16
Abstract: An improved product transfer system is disclosed for a turret moored FPSO (10). A swivel stack torque tube (105) is provided such that the swivel stack (100) can be recessed below the manifold decks (103), but still allow swivel torque reactions to be transferred to the ship structure. Recessing of the swivel stack downwardly with respect to the manifold decks reduces the height of the access structure and locates the swivel stack center of gravity closer to the center of gravity of the vessel.      This arrangement results in reduced loads to the turret structure (20) which supports the swivel stack and reduced height and size of the access structure for the swivel stack.

Abstract: An interactive video game computer system with a light sensitive peripheral device having a photosensitive transducer operating in conjunction with a personal computer platform. The gun or pen-shaped light-sensitive device is connected to a peripheral adapter coupled between the computer and a video monitor. The peripheral adapter captures the horizontal and vertical synchronization signals from the video adapter card in the computer and sends them to the light sensitive pheripheral device so that processing circuitry therein can generate a peripheral position signal indicative of the position of the field of view of the photosensitive transducer relative to the screen.  The light sensitive peripheral device also has means for transmitting the peripheral position signal to the computer means for further processing. This allows a light gun or pen to be used with a conventional personal computer without having to modify the computer with additional circuit boards and operating system changes.
