Abstract:
A surgical system comprises a device adapted to deliver a plurality of surgical instruments to a site within a patient's body, a first surgical instrument comprising an active electrode probe, a second surgical instrument for performing a non-electrosurgical procedure, a conductive shield surrounding the active electrode probe of the first surgical instrument and connected to a reference potential, and a cold instrument monitor connected to the second surgical instrument and to the reference potential.
Abstract:
A method for determining the alignment of a plurality of contacts in an electronic testing machine is disclosed. The contacts are swept over an electronic component taking a plurality of electrical readings. These electrical readings are charted against a desired orientation to determine alignment. Alignment can be corrected as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.
Abstract:
A graphical music creation user interface is used to create and edit user compositions, which may then be transferred to a server and, through a cell phone carrier network, to cell phones or other portable devices. The compositions may be used as cell phone ring tones. Various graphical features allow for ease of music creation, while providing a possibility for fine-tuning created pieces.
Abstract:
Process for the conversion of synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbon products by contacting, in a slurry reactor, synthesis gas at an elevated temperature and pressure with a suspension of catalyst in a liquid medium, introducing a low boiling solvent into the slurry reactor, vaporising at least a portion of the low boiling solvent in the slurry reactor, withdrawing from the slurry reactor, a gaseous stream comprising unreacted synthesis gas and vaporised low boiling solvent, cooling at least a portion of the gaseous stream to a temperature at which liquid condenses out so as to form a two phase mixture of gas and condensed liquid, and recycling at least a portion of the gas and at least a portion of the condensed liquid to the slurry reactor.
Abstract:
Apparatus suitable for the conversion of synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbon products, comprising a plurality of injector-mixing nozzles, a tank reactor, a gas recycle line having a first end and a second end and a slurry recycle line having a first end and a second end. The plurality of injector-mixing nozzles is arranged at or near the top of the tank reactor, each injector mixing nozzle having a first inlet for a suspension of a catalyst in a liquid medium, at least one second inlet for synthesis gas and an outlet positioned within the tank reactor for discharging a mixture of synthesis gas and the suspension from the injector-mixing nozzles in a downwards direction into the tank reactor. The tank reactor has a first outlet for discharging a product suspension at or near the bottom thereof and a second outlet for a gaseous recycle stream at or near the top thereof. The first end of the slurry recycle line is in communication with the first outlet of the tank reactor and the second end of the slurry recycle loop is in communication with the first inlet of the injector-mixing nozzles. The first end of the gas recycle line is in communication with the second outlet of the tank reactor and the second end of the gas recycle line is in communication with the second inlet(s) of the injector-mixing nozzles.

Abstract:
Rotating nozzles in a cylinder comprise a hand washing system that through a program provides purge, wash, dwell, rinse and self clean cycles. In ten seconds 99% of bacteria are killed without hand irritation even with multiple hand washes daily.
Abstract:
A process for reacting in a fluid bed reactor at least one oxidisable reactant with molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalytically active fluidised bed of solid particles. In the process a molecular oxygen-containing gas having an oxygen concentration greater than that of air is introduced into the fluidised bed whilst the fluidised bed is maintained in a turbulent regime. The process is suitable for oxidation, ammoxidation and carboxylation processes, including the production of maleic anhydride, acrylonitrile, ethylene, acetic acid and vinyl acetate.
Abstract:
A surgical tool having proximal and distal ends and adapted to transverse a curved passageway comprises an end effector disposed on the distal end of the surgical tool, the end effector having a first body section and a second body section and a releasable connector joining the end effector first body section with the end effector second body section. The connector is operable to reversibly engage the first and second end effector body sections in a first fixed position and in a second movable position. The surgical tool further comprises an actuation device for moving the first and second end effector body sections from the first fixed position to the second movable position. The end effector is adapted to maneuver through a larger radius of curvature in the second movable position than in the first fixed position.
