20110166656 | SPINAL IMPLANT CONFIGURED FOR MIDLINE INSERTION - The embodiments provide a spinal implant that is configured for midline insertion into a patient's intervertebral disc space. The spinal implant may have a body and the body comprises one or more apertures. The apertures receive fixation elements, such as a screw and the like. The fixation element may comprise one or more anti-backout features, such as a split ring. In addition, at least some of the apertures are designed to permit a predetermined amount of nutation by a fixation element. The apertures that allow nutation enable the fixation element to toggle from one position to another, for example, during subsidence of the implant in situ. Some of the apertures may be configured to rigidly lock with the fixation elements. Moreover, the spinal implant may include features, such as one or more bores, that can accommodate imaging marks to help guide a surgeon. | 07-07-2011 |
20110190825 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STABILIZING A POSTERIOR FUSION OVER MOTION SEGMENTS - A system and method for stabilizing adjacent vertebral bodies that have been fused is provided. The system and method involves transversely securing the bony segments of fused vertebral bodies together. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, translaminar screws may be employed to transfix the facet joints of one or more motion segments. The motion segment may further include the presence of a spinal fusion implant or other internal fixation device. | 08-04-2011 |

20120248704 | FILM RIDING SEAL FOR TURBINES - An seal is described for a turbine with a first sealing surface mounted on a stationary part of a turbine and a second sealing surface mounted on a rotating part of the turbine, the surfaces being structured such that in operation the thin film of a fluid medium is generated between the two surfaces reducing contact and/or leakage with at least one of the first or second sealing surface mounted such that it is subject to a retracting force which opens the seal while stationary or at slow rotation speeds of the turbine and subject to a force counteracting the retracting force at operational rotation speeds of the turbine. The surface of the sealing face may incorporate patterns straight or helical in nature to help induce the fluid into the gap and maintain the fluid film. | 10-04-2012 |

20090087360 | Removal of sodium oxalate from a bayer liquor - The Bayer process uses hot sodium hydroxide solution to obtain pure alumina from bauxite ore. Alumina dissolves, and is then precipitated, and the remaining caustic Bayer liquor can be recycled for use again. However sodium oxalate tends to build up in the recycled liquor, and causes problems. By removing a stream of the liquor, treating it so as to be supersaturated with sodium oxalate, and then subjecting it to ultrasonic irradiation, crystal nuclei are formed. The resultant crystals can then be separated from the liquor. Surprisingly, other organic compounds in solution do not prevent this crystallisation process from being effective. | 04-02-2009 |

20130088275 | DYNAMIC VOLTAGE DROP AWARE CLOCK INSERTION TOOL - A clock tree power decoupling system includes a pre-decoupling processor that provides a clock tree that supports a critical timing path condition. The clock tree power decoupling system also includes a clock tree power decoupler having a clock tree module that identifies clock buffers in the clock tree corresponding to synchronous start and end points of the critical timing path condition, and a power decoupling module that inserts a decoupling capacitance proximate the clock buffers in the clock tree, wherein the decoupling capacitance is sized to rectify the critical timing path condition. The clock tree power decoupling system additionally includes a post-decoupling processor that provides a power-decoupled clock-inserted database employing the decoupling capacitance. A method of clock tree power decoupling is also provided. | 04-11-2013 |

20130167096 | LOCATION AND TIMING WINDOW BASED DECOUPLING CAPACITOR EVAULATION TOOL AND METHOD - A method of designing an integrated circuit includes receiving a placement database of logic devices of an electronic device design that includes first and second logic devices. The method further includes determining a first timing window associated with a first state transition of the first logic device, and a second timing window associated with a second state transition of the second logic device. In the event that the first and second timing windows overlap, the placement database is modified, thereby reducing interaction of the first and second logic devices. | 06-27-2013 |
20130167098 | POWER ESTIMATION USING ACTIVITY INFORMATION - A method of estimating power consumption of an electronic device is performed by a processing device. The estimating includes estimating a power consumption of a gate-level implementation of an electronic device design. The estimating further includes independently calculating for each of a plurality of implementation-invariant nodes of the design an incremental power dissipation associated with that node. | 06-27-2013 |

20090026064 | PRECIPITATION OF SILICA IN A BAYER PROCESS - In the Bayer process for the production of alumina, problems are caused by silica dissolving in the caustic liquor. This silica arises from the presence of kaolin in the bauxite. A process for removing this kaolin comprises contacting the bauxite with sodium hydroxide solution to form a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to intense ultrasonic irradiation to cause cavitation; this can be carried out at temperatures below 100° C. This enhances both the dissolution of kaolin and the precipitation of sodium aluminium silicate. Silica remaining in solution in spent Bayer liquor (after digestion and then precipitation of gibbsite) can be removed by a similar ultrasonic irradiation treatment to cause it to precipitate before it forms scale in heat exchangers. | 01-29-2009 |
