  • Publication number: 20170066687
    Abstract: A cement composition and a process are provided for recycling a waste material by using the waste in the manufacture of Portland cement. The process generally comprises mixing a first quantity of the waste material thoroughly with a second quantity of a solid material so as to produce a non-compacted additive. The non-compacted additive is applied to cement clinker, wherein the additive is utilized as a substitute for virgin ingredients normally used in the manufacture of the Portland cement. In an embodiment, the non-compacted additive comprises a consistency of wet earth which is readily pliable with the second quantity by weight not exceeding three times the first quantity by weight. The cement clinker is then pulverized so as to distribute the additive within the resulting Portland cement.

  • Patent number: 5697369
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring biopotentials at a test site on a human or animal subject and determining therefrom the existence or status of a condition at such test site. The efficacy of treatment of a condition is monitored by comparing values obtained from biopotentials taken before treatment with those obtained during or after treatment. For disease diagnosis or screening, values obtained from biopotential measurements taken during a test period are processed in a neural network which has been programmed to recognize potential value patterns indicative of a disease condition.

  • Patent number: 5679394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for increasing the vascular dwell-time of a particulate therapeutic or diagnostic agent in a mammal through the adjunct administration of an effective amount of the particulate therapeutic or diagnostic agent and an effective amount of a vascular dwell-time enhancing agent. Suitable therapeutic and diagnostic agents include those whose efficacy within the body is predicated on their ability to remain within or to be carried within the vascular compartment. Accordingly this method can be readily adapted for treating several diseases and disorders, including hypoxia, hypoxemia, anemia and cancer and for imaging selected regions of a mammal by various imaging techniques, including ultrasound imaging, X-ray imaging and MRI imaging.
