20110100007 | POWER RECOVERY - The invention relates to a method and apparatus for recovering power from the gaseous stream produced by an oxidation reaction. Specifically, the invention is based on heating the gaseous stream from the oxidation reaction to a temperature of at least 800° C. and recovering energy through a gas turbine. The compressor stage of the gas turbine compresses the oxidant feed to the reactor thereby at least partially offsetting the cost of providing the high temperature and pressure reaction conditions in the reactor. The invention also provides improved control of the power recovery system by optimising the efficiency of the gas turbine by feeding gas to the gaseous stream to modulate the flow of gas to the turbine relative to the compressor discharge flow in order to compensate for the consumption of oxidant in the reactor. | 05-05-2011 |

20140200517 | MEDICAL LINE SECUREMENT SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a securement system for securing a medical line or device to a patient, for example, for holding a tube such as a catheter or a drip to the body of a patient. The medical treatment of patients commonly involves the use of percutaneously inserted medical lines to direct fluids directly into the bloodstream, a specific organ or an internal location within the patient, or to monitor vital functions of the patient. A health care professional commonly employs adhesive bandages, plasters or surgical tape to attach a catheter or medical line to a patient, to maintain the catheter or medical line in place with respect to the skin of the patient. To adjust the position of the device the adhesive bandage would have to be removed and replaced. This often leads to poor positioning of the tube because any adjustment causes unnecessary inconvenience and discomfort to the patient and wastes bandages. The present invention seeks to provide an improved line securement device. In particular, the present invention seeks to provide a line securement device which can adapt to various medical devices; can simply enable adjustment of position of the medical device. Specifically, the present invention seeks to provide a simple securement device that retains a medical line in a fixed position relative to an intravenous entry point and is capable of adjustment and simple release of a medical line for dressing changes, inspection and other requirements. | 07-17-2014 |

20080226444 | CASING ASSEMBLY - Provision of panels within casings can cause problems where retaining bolts require apertures in the casings, which in turn may reduce the structural strength of that casing. By providing a loose or snug fit ring placed within the casing and appropriate retainer elements secured to that ring which in turn appropriately presents panels it is possible to provide a casing assembly which avoids the necessity of drilling or otherwise forming holes in the casing which may reduce structural strength. The rings, retainers and the panels do not need to be mechanically fixed to the casing although where possible a ring may be secured through bolts in areas of the casing where structural strength is less important. Where there is no bolting between the ring and the casing then dam elements can be provided at each end of the assembly to prevent lateral axial movement and therefore retain panel position within the casing. | 09-18-2008 |
