    摘要: A negative contrast agent for MRI is an aqueous suspension having a quantity of barium sulfate between 25 and 30 percent by weight and a quantity of bentonite between 2.5 and 3.5 percent by weight in which a substantial portion of the barium sulfate particles have a mean diameter of at least 10 microns. This negative contrast agent provides dark imaging in a T2 weighted pulse sequence; namely a relative signal intensity (RSI) approaching zero. It also provides a relative signal intensity (RSI) of under 30 percent of that of a reference that approximates tissue in a T1 weighted pulse sequence.

    摘要: The present invention provides a novel technique for canceling substantially the effects of dispersion when two speed of sound (SOS) measurements are required on the materials within a pipe to perform a calculation or derive certain characteristics about the materials flowing in the pipe. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus may comprise a signal processor configured to receive signals containing information about two speed of sound measurements having two sets of data related to materials within a pipe; and process the two sets of data simultaneously and determine a ridge point by point difference in order to cancel substantially effects of dispersion.

    摘要: A method of separating two immiscible, melt-viscosity-differing thermoplastic polymer components from a mixed liquid stream thereof forms two discrete and continuous phases having a sheath/core configuration, wherein the sheath substantially contains the polymer component with the higher melt viscosity and the core substantially contains the polymer component with the lower melt viscosity. The mixed liquid stream contains a predominant amount (i.e., greater than 50% by volume) of the higher viscosity polymer component and a minority amount (i.e., less than 50% by volume) of the lower viscosity polymer component. The method involves directing the stream through a shear zone at a shear temperature and a shear rate sufficient to form the two discrete and continuous phases, the first of which substantially contains the lower viscosity polymer component and the second of which substantially contains the higher viscosity polymer component.
