In this apparatus, all the burners (3, 4, 5 and 6) of the gasification reactor (2) are supplied with fuel from a single metering vessel (1) via a distributor (8), the lines (9, 10, 11 and 12) provided for this purpose having different lengths and/or pipe runs. The resulting pressure drop is compensated by the installation of restrictors (13) or control valves in such a way that, when the fuel ente...

A single trip casing hanger packoff running tool (10) retains the packoff (98) in a retracted and fully locked position during hanger running, landing and cementing operations, thereby preventing premature engagement of the packoff in the hanger (78) and/or passage of cement return through or around the packoff sealing/setting mechanisms. The running tool includes a central tubular mandrel (12) su...

METHOD OF DEHYDRATING ORGANIC OXYGENATES D#79,599-F Aqueous solutions of organic oxygenates, such as ethylene glycol may be dehydrated by pervaporation through a poly(vinyl pyridine) membrane which has been quaternized and cross-linked. CGS79599.PTN

An analyzer system for automatic column chromatography includes chromatographic columns which are mounted in a rack. A drop removal mechanism system shakes the rack to transfer the last drop of eluate from the tip of a chromatographic column to a receptacle below the tip before the column is repositioned over another receptacle and another fluid or operation is introduced into the column. This pre...

A windshield having an upper vision area with a coating and a lower heating area aligned with a wiper blade storage area. When the coating is electroconductive, first and second bus bars are provided to selectively connect the coating to the terminals of a power source to provide a windshield heating circuit for defogging or defrosting its vision area. One of the bus bars is also connected to a he...

A razor handle assembly comprising a grip portion (2), a head portion (6) at one end of the grip portion (2) having first and second arms (36, 38) pivotally movable toward and away from each other and having, respectively, first and second shell bearings (54) mounted thereon, the shell bearings (54) being adapted to receive a shaving cartridge (A) for pivotal movement on the handle, and a spring-b...

YO9-91-091 A POINT ADDRESSABLE CURSOR FOR STEREO RASTER DISPLAY A stereoscopic cursor for high-resolution stereoscopic raster display is addressable to any arbitrary point on the display and simulates depth by alternately displaying left and right patterns that are offset from one another in a horizontal (x-axis) direction. Left and right views of the cursor are alternately displayed at the displa...

A gas containing malodorous/harmful components is treated with an iodine- and/or inorganic iodide-sup-porting activated carbon honeycomb 6 disposed in a gas passageway 5 extending from a gas inlet 3 to a gas outlet 4. The gas may be treated with this iodineand/or inorganic iodide-supporting activated honeycomb 6 and an acid-supporting activated carbon honeycomb 7. A fan 8 may be provided in a down...

In accordance with this invention, a sterilizable video microscope holder for supporting and positioning a video microscope unit in an operating room is provided which has a sterilizable flexible tubular arm, a bundle of optical fibers running through the arm, a support attached to one end of the arm for supporting it in the operating room and a connector at the same end of the arm for holding an ...

Compsn. for sustained and controlled release of a therapeutic peptide (I) is produced by (1) converting a water-soluble (I) or (I) salt into a water-insoluble (I) or salt; (2) suspending this in organic medium contg. a dissolved biodegradable polymeric material (A); (3) dispersing the suspension in aq. medium to form an oil-in-water emulsion; (4) transferring the emulsion to an excess of aq. mediu...
