20090105687 | SCORING CATHETER WITH DRUG DELIVERY MEMBRANE - Angioplasty and other dilatation devices are provided with scoring elements. The device additionally incorporates a separate drug application membrane which is used to deliver drugs and other active substances to a body lumen, typically a blood vessel. The device functions to release drug into a region of the luminal wall as the scoring structure is radially expanded into the lumen wall. | 04-23-2009 |

20150346173 | TOTAL PRESSURE AND TOTAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT IN WET GAS CONDITION - The present probes are miniaturized, total pressure and total temperature, probes able to measure in wet gas conditions, two phase flow, inside pipes or compressor. When measuring in wet gas conditions, the probe measures accurately with a defined amount of liquid phase. Differently from standard probes, such probes are able to generate a gas expansion on the external side of the cup. This guarantees the appropriate purging of the liquid fraction of the flow from the cup, letting the total pressure measurement of the gas. The total temperature probe, beside the purging of the liquid collected, has a miniaturized cup in order to protect the measuring element from the direct impact of the liquid droplets. This permits to measure the total temperature of the gas, without influence of the liquid fraction of the flow. | 12-03-2015 |

20110072964 | SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING, MEASURING AND CHECKING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS OF A RECIPROCATING FLUID MACHINE - The invention describes a validation system for a reciprocating fluid machine. The system comprises a base plate or foundation on which at least one frame of the reciprocating fluid machine is removably applied; a first shaft, rotatably coupled with the base plate, to activate the components of the frame; at least one system for generating loads, placed in operative connection with such components and put in rotation by a transmission system through at least one second shaft. The system for generating loads is able to simulate the loads generated by the working fluid on a cylinder of the reciprocating fluid machine. | 03-31-2011 |
20130152357 | TEST ARRANGEMENT FOR A CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR STAGE - A system for testing a compressor is provided. The system comprises one or more compressors connected together in series to a test compressor wherein an output of the test compressor is connected to an input of a first compressor in the series, forming an overall loop, one or more process fluid coolers in the overall loop, one or more orifices in the overall loop, a control valve in the overall loop, and a first plurality of sensors configured adjacent to a process fluid input of the test compressor and a second plurality of sensors configured adjacent to a process fluid output of the test compressor. | 06-20-2013 |

20080246368 | Integration of dissimilar materials for advanced multfunctional devices - A device including a layered heterostructure with an oxygen-containing material, with a carbon layer and an amorphous oxygen diffusion barrier protecting the carbon layer from etching by oxygen. One or more of a metal, a carbide or an oxide may be in contact with the amorphous oxygen diffusion barrier that has the lowest free energy of oxide formation in the device. Various devices are disclosed as are varieties of carbon allotropes. Methods of protecting carbon, such as diamond from the oxygen etching in processes such as device manufacture are also disclosed. | 10-09-2008 |

20110226336 | CHALCOGENIDE-BASED MATERIALS AND IMPROVED METHODS OF MAKING SUCH MATERIALS - The present invention provides strategies for making high quality CIGS photoabsorbing materials from precursor films that incorporate a sub-stoichiometric amount of chalcogen(s). Chalcogen(s) are incorporated into the CIGS precursor film via co-sputtering with one or more other constituents of the precursor. Optional annealing also may be practiced to convert precursor into more desirable chalcopyrite crystalline form in event all or a portion of the precursor has another constitution. The resultant precursors generally are sub-stoichiometric with respect to chalcogen and have very poor electronic characteristics. The conversion of these precursors into CMS photoabsorbing material via chalcogenizing treatment occurs with dramatically reduced interfacial void content. The resultant CIGS material displays excellent adhesion to other layers in the resultant photovoltaic devices. Ga migration also is dramatically reduced, and the resultant films have optimized Ga profiles in the top or bottom portion of the film that improve the quality of photovoltaic devices made using the films. | 09-22-2011 |
20110253219 | PHOTOELECTRONICALLY ACTIVE, CHALCOGEN-BASED THIN FILM STRUCTURES INCORPORATING TIE LAYERS - The present invention provides improved chalcogen-containing, photovoltaic structures as well as related compositions, photovoltaic devices incorporating these structures, methods of making these structures and devices, and methods of using these structures and devices. According to principles of the present invention, the adhesion of PACB compositions is improved through the use of chalcogen-containing tie layers. | 10-20-2011 |

20140278134 | Conserved Nucleotide Elements In Ribosomal RNA - The present invention relates to a method of determining conserved ribosomal RNA (rRNA) nucleotide motifs that are specific to one domain of life, Eukarya, Bacteria, or Archaea, and degenerate in at least one other domain of life. The invention also relates to a method of determining conserved ribosomal RNA (rRNA) nucleotide motifs that are specific to one subgroup and degenerate in another subgroup within a domain of life or for a subset group within a domain of life. The invention relates to a method of identifying a compound that is a domain-specific or subgroup-specific ribosomal RNA inhibitor. | 09-18-2014 |
