20150066106 | Flexible Circuit Electrode Array Embedded in a Cured Body - Polymer materials are useful as electrode array bodies for neural stimulation. They are particularly useful for retinal stimulation to create artificial vision, cochlear stimulation to create artificial hearing, and cortical stimulation, and many related purposes. The pressure applied against the retina, or other neural tissue, by an electrode array is critical. Too little pressure causes increased electrical resistance, along with electric field dispersion. Too much pressure may block blood flow. Common flexible circuit fabrication techniques generally require that a flexible circuit electrode array be made flat. Since neural tissue is almost never flat, a flat array will necessarily apply uneven pressure. Further, the edges of a flexible circuit polymer array may be sharp and cut the delicate neural tissue. It is advantageous that the array edges not contact tissue. | 03-05-2015 |

20080308384 | MOBILE OIL SANDS MINING SYSTEM - A process line for excavating and processing oil sands ore near a mine face. A mobile excavator excavates ore along the length of a mobile mining conveyor. A mobile comminutor receives and comminutes the excavated ore and transfers the comminuted ore to the mobile mining conveyor. The mobile mining conveyor conveys the comminuted ore to a transfer conveyor that conveys the comminuted ore to a mobile slurry facility. The mobile slurry facility combines the comminuted ore with process water to produce a slurry and pumps and conditions the slurry through a hydro-transport pipeline to a mobile extraction facility as a slurry feed. The mobile extraction facility receives the slurry feed and directs the slurry feed and a water stream as inputs to a three stage countercurrent cyclone separator. The cyclone separator produces a bitumen rich stream and a tailings stream. The bitumen rich stream is directed to a froth concentration unit that separates the bitumen rich stream into a bitumen product stream, a recycled water stream and a fine tailings stream. The fine tailings stream is combined with the tailings stream to produce a tailings product stream that is directed to a tailings treatment facility. The tailings treatment facility receives the tailings product and combines the tailings product with an additive to produce a treated tailings stream that is directed to a tailings pond for separation into a dry tails phase and a water phase that may be collected and recycled as industrial process water. | 12-18-2008 |
