Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080296226Solutions, Dialysates, and Related Methods - Solutions, dialysates, and methods for measuring solutes in blood and/or for treating blood. In one aspect of the invention, a method of performing dialysis includes placing a solution in communication with blood of a subject, where a concentration of at least one electrically conductive solute in the solution, prior to being placed in communication with the blood of the subject, is substantially equal to a concentration of the at least one electrically conductive solute in the blood of the subject.12-04-2008
20100096330Method of Determining A Phosphorus Binder Dosage for a Dialysis Patient - The invention is directed to a method of determining a dosage of phosphorus binder for a patient undergoing dialysis treatment to achieve a pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration within a desired concentration range while achieving a desired net accumulation of calcium. The method includes determining the dosage of phosphorus binder that will achieve pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration of the patient that is within the desired concentration range while accounting for the change in the amount of phosphorus removed by the dialysis treatment when the pre-dialysis serum phosphorus concentration of the patient is within the desired concentration range, determining a dialysate calcium concentration that will result in the desired net accumulation of calcium over a complete dialysis cycle, and dialyzing the patient with a dialysate containing a calcium concentration based upon that determination.04-22-2010

20100200078METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A BALL VALVE - A ball valve includes a valve element and a single piece packing that seals the valve element within a valve cavity. The single piece packing is installed over the valve element at room temperature or may be molded thereon. The valve element may include a flow control element such as a ball and upper and lower trunnions. The various dimensions of the valve element and packing are selected to facilitate room temperature assembly and to substantially reduce the volume of packing material, thereby improving the performance of the valve over wider temperature ranges and pressure ratings.08-12-2010

20090145515Absorbent bib for inlet of fuel tank - An absorbent bib comprising an absorbent pad made of a biochemical absorbent material, the absorbent pad having a top portion configured with an opening for receiving and engaging the neck of a fuel opening of a fuel tank of a vehicle or vessel, such as a passenger vehicle, motorcycle, marine vessel, or aviation applications, e.g. a small airplane, so that the bib can be hung on the neck when a bio-chemical fuel is being dispensed in the tank, and the absorbent pad also having a bottom portion configured for hanging below the opening so as to absorb at least some of the bio-chemical fuel that may spill either when a nozzle for dispensing the bio-chemical fuel is inserted into or removed from the fuel opening, or when the tank is over-filled.06-11-2009

20090089626Techniques for generating a trace stream for a data processing apparatus - Trace circuitry, and a method of operating such trace circuitry, are provided for generating a trace stream indicative of activities of monitored circuitry of a data processing apparatus. The monitored circuitry produces data elements indicative of those activities, and the trace circuitry comprises trace element generation circuitry which is responsive to at least some of the data elements produced by the monitored circuitry to generate trace elements representative of those data-elements, with the trace elements generated being dependent on a selected trace mode of operation of the trace circuitry. Compression circuitry is then arranged to apply an encoding operation to a sequence of trace elements in order to produce a packet whose bit pattern represents the sequence of trace elements, and to cause that packet to be output in the trace stream, the encoding operation applied being dependent on a current compression scheme associated with the compression circuitry. Whilst in the selected trace mode of operation, the compression circuitry is responsive to a compression change stimulus to change the current compression scheme from a first compression scheme to a second compression scheme whose bit pattern encoding space overlaps the bit pattern encoding space of the first compression scheme, such that following the change of compression scheme any further packets produced whilst in the selected trace mode of operation are produced in accordance with the second compression scheme. Such an approach has been found to provide improved compression efficiency thereby reducing the volume of trace data produced.04-02-2009
