    Abstract: A guidance system for guiding an intervention device such as a needle to a target location such as a vessel while remaining within a field of view of an imaging device such as an ultrasound. The guidance system may include an attachment mechanism for removable attachment to a specific ultrasound probe or which is adaptable to multiple different probes. A guidance mechanism may extend outwardly from the attachment mechanism for guiding the angle and depth of the intervention device. The guidance mechanism may include a plurality of openings through which the intervention device may be selectively inserted, with each opening being configured for a different angle and/or depth. Alternatively, the guidance mechanism may include a single opening that is adjustable along an arcuate path. A release mechanism may be included to allow the intervention device to be safely removed from the guidance mechanism without undue movement of the intervention device.

    Abstract: The proposed techniques relate to removing heat stable amine salts (HISAS) from a contaminated aqueous amine absorption solution containing amine in salt form generated during an amine-based acid gas recovery operation, while reducing or avoiding discharging any liquid waste. At least a portion of the HSAS is removed from the contaminated aqueous amine absorption solution in an amine reclamation unit to produce a waste stream containing dissolved salts and/or acids, and a regenerated amine absorption solution containing a reduced amount of the heat stable amine salts. The waste stream is further treated by oxidizing the waste stream into an oxidized product stream comprising CO2, water, and nitrogen. Optionally, the concentration in dissolved salts and/or acids of the waste stream can be increased prior to oxidation. The oxidation can advantageously be operated in a combustion unit that produces a flue gas directed to acid gas recovery as part of an integrated process.

    Abstract: An medical implantable occlusion device (100) is disclosed having a collapsed state and an expanded state and comprising a braiding (101) of at least one thread, and a distal end (102) comprised of said braiding. The distal end comprises loops (103, 104, 204, 304) formed by loop strands (105, 106, 206, 306) of the at least one thread, wherein, at least in said expanded state, each loop strand has a curved shape and extends away from a centre point (117) of the distal end, whereby an apex point (107, 108, 208, 308) of each of the loop strands corresponds to the turning point of the curved shape and to the point of each of the loop strands being arranged closest to the centre point. At least one of the loop strands is displaced from the centre point by a centre distance (109, 110, 210, 310), and the apex point lie at a distance from a periphery (113) of the distal end.
