2106409 9308756 PCTABS00021 Systems for ablating tissue control radiofrequency power to an ablation electrode (16) by relying upon actual phase sensitive power measurements (72), unaffected by phase shifts between radiofrequency voltage and current. The systems also detect these phase differences (70), if they develop and integrate this factor (30) in making their control decisions.

2106410 9308755 PCTABS00021 An ablation electrode (16) carries a temperature sensing element (94) for measuring the temperature of the tissue being ablated. A thermal insulating element (88) associated with the sensing element blocks the transfer of heat energy from between the temperature sensing element (94) and the electrode (16). The temperature sensing element therefore measures temperature w...

The automatic dishwashing compositon is gentle towards silver cutlery and does not cause a yellowish or brownish discolourati...

Device for the simultaneous detection of dissimilar gas components The device for the simultaneous detection of dissimilar gas components contains a number of electrochemical, three-electrode measuring cells with a common electrolyte, that are formed from a number of working electrodes with a common counter-electrode and a common reference electrode. Measured values are generated with the aid of a...

In the purificn. of NO-contg. gas by treatment with hydrated sodium carbonate, the novelty is that the gas contains O2 and SO2 and has a controlled temp. of 320-500K. Pref. the O2/NO molar ratio is greater than 2.5, pref. 40-60, and the SO2/NO molar ratio is greater than 0.1, pref. 1.5-2.

Prod. comprises a thermoplastic organic material; e.g. polypropylene, polyamide or polyester; with fibre reinforcement eg. glass fibre; mineral and organic additives is made by moulding extrusion or injection from material supplied from an extruder where at least part of the organic material is fed in the form of strands or continuous filaments. The organic material and reinforcing fibres may be f...

A catalyst system that converts the exhaust gas of a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled automotive engine when operated at stoichiometry or slightly lean thereof, at highly enhanced rates, and having: (a) a first stage catalyst comprising a transition metal-containing zeolite (Cu-ZSM5), and (b) a second stage catalyst for treating the effluent of the first stage and comprising palladium supported...

A catalyst system for converting NOX, CO, and HC contained in the exhaust gas from a gasoline-fueled engine controlled to operate under lean-burn conditions (R = .03 .9) such that the a ratio of NOX to HC in the exhaust gas is in the range of 1/3 to 3/1 (i.e., minimum C3H6 of 250 ppm and NOX of 200-400 ppm). The system comprises a first stage catalyst containing a transition metal-exchanged zeolit...

A grooved, void-volume belt for use on a long nip press for dewatering a fibrous web may be manufactured by winding a grooved strip or ribbon of polymeric material onto a standard LNP belt in the form of a closed helix, and by attaching the grooved strip to the belt by suitable means. The strip may be extruded from a polymeric material, such as polyurethane, and is provided with at least one longi...

An offset voltage zeroing method for a D/A converter, in which oscillations of the output voltage are radically reduced. An output signal of the converter is applied to a first terminal of a capacitor (5). A second terminal of the capacitor is coupled to a reference voltage (Vref) by a controllable switch (6) as long as there are no pulses from the output of the converter. As a result, an offset-c...

A high efficiency optical mixer includes a source of focused radiant energy. The focused radiant energy is concentrated by a parabolic concentrator onto an exit port. A diffuse reflector, which can be planar or arcuate, is maintained in contact with the output port thereby minimizing optical losses and diffusely reflecting light from the concentrator. The reflected light can be transmitted, by fib...
