Abstract: A device for detecting diaphragm movements includes an accelerometric sensor with a fixture for attachment to the user's chest and a conductor connected to the control module. The device is useful for detecting diaphragm movements during invasive curative procedures on the human heart, in particular during operations of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract: The present invention describes a new class of high porosity materials with aerogel properties, based on metal oxides and their composites, possessing a high surface area and a high pore volume distributed within a specific pore diameter range. The pore distribution is monomodal and the porosity of the material is greater than 80%, conferring aerogel properties thereon while the absence of micropores (pores less than 2 nm in diameter) confers a high thermal stability to these materials. The characteristics of the product, including a low, if not zero, macroporosity, confer on the material a low dustiness compared to conventional aerogels, thus enabling them to be used effectively in production cycles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to doped or undoped aluminas having after calcination at 1200° C. for 5-24 hours a pore volume ?0.5 ml/g and a BET surface area greater then 35 m2/g. The invention also relates to a method for preparing these aluminas comprising the steps of: a. preparing an aqueous solution of an aluminum salt with optional co-dopants, b. treating the aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide, c. precipitating the alumina using a base, and d. filtering, drying and calcining the alumina.

Abstract: A fluidized bed apparatus comprises a chamber having a perforated floor, a spray nozzle located in the chamber above the perforated floor, whereby material to be granulated is introduced into the chamber in the form of a solution or dispersion, means for passing heated gas upward through said perforated floor, whereby solid particles of said material are formed in said chamber, particle size-reducing means outside of said chamber, whereby particles larger than a first predetermined size are reduced in size, a screw shaft located above said perforated floor and communicating with said size-reducing means, whereby particles are withdrawn from said chamber and conveyed to said size-reducing means, a pipe having one end located downstream of said size-reducing means and its other end communicating with said chamber, and means for generating a flow of air whereby particles smaller than a second predetermined size exiting from said size-reducing means are returned through said pipe to said chamber.

Abstract: An agitator mill for grinding suspensions having a grinding container with oblique and radial disks which may be hollow with a cooling fluid passing therethrough by means of the hollow connecting stirring shaft and the cycle for ground material containing said agitator mill.
