An electro-surgical instrument includes an elongated electrode probe for delivering electrical energy to tissue through an exposed, conductive distal tip and a handpiece that provides the electrical energy to the probe through a coupling to the proximal end of the probe. The coupling, which defines a longitudinal axis, is structured to provide a rigid yet removable connection between the probe and...

Preparing caesium formate and neopentyl glycol comprises reacting formaldehyde (HCHO) and caesium hydroxide (CsOH) in a liquid (especially aqueous) state in the presence of isobutyraldehyde, where the mole ratio HCHO:CsOH:aldehyde is 1:1:1 to 3:2:1, e.g. 1.5:1.2:1 to 2.5:1.7:1 or 1.8:1:1 to 2.2:1.5:1 at a reaction temperature 0-100 deg C especially 30-70 deg C.

For one or more product lines that can be placed on shelves in a shop, a device is used which works with two sub-functions. A first sub-function relates to the exchanging of price information and other information between a computer system and electronic labels positioned on the shelves via wire-based, two-way communication. The second sub-function relates to representations generated in or on the...

The invention provides a model representative of steady and transient flows, in a pipe, of a mixture of multiphase fluids, which takes account a set of variables defining the properties of the fluids and of the flow modes having separate phases which are dispersed and intermittent, and the dimensions and slope of the pipes. The modeled quantities characterizing the flow are determined by solving a...

The invention relates to a method for forming a simulation model of two-phase flow in pipelines and notably in pipelines carrying hydrocarbons. The method comprises solving mass conservation equations for each of the phases and an equation of momentum conservation of the flow, while complying with closing relations. An explicit solution is used on slow waves (corresponding to the propagation of a ...
