A HOLDER FOR WATERS' CANISTER

Safe options for suction canister waste.

A Holder Needle.

THE finest movements of surgery are made with the fingers and thumb, not with the wrist and hand as a whole. In the usual method of suturing, the needle is grasped by the needle-holder which is held more or less in the palm of the hand. The fine, sharp needles of ophthalmic surgery, such as those made by Grieshaber, inevitably become dulled as they are grasped by the metal blades of the needle-...

Brain slice holder for MR.

We made an MR-compatible brain slice holder that ensures that the images have the same location and orientation as the subsequent histologic sections. This device encloses the unfixed tissues, thus reducing the danger of exposure to pathogens. MR imaging time is saved by scanning selected slices rather than the whole brain; this technique is especially useful when brain sections at varying angl...

Coalbed Methane Canister Desorption Techniques

The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch and the Geological Survey of Canada have initiated ajoint project to assess the coalbed-methane potential of coal deposits in British Columbia. This project entails participation with private industry to obtain fresh coal samples for desorption from exploration projects throughout the province. Samples are collected from the drill site and undergo a...

Advanced Canister Purge Algorithm with a Virtual [HC] sensor

Both evaporative emissions and tailpipe emissions have been reduced by more than 90% from uncontrolled levels in state-of-the-art. However, now that the objective is to reach near-zero emission levels, the need for aggressive purging of the canister and fuel tank and the need for extremely precise control of engine Air/Fuel ratio (A/F) come into conflict. On-board diagnostics and the wide varia...
