  • Publication number: 20240399154
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for planning, updating, and delivering electric field therapy. In one example, a system comprises processing circuitry configured to receive a request to deliver alternating electric field (AEF) therapy and determine therapy parameter values that define the AEF therapy, wherein the AEF therapy comprises delivery of a first electric field and a second electric field. The processing circuitry may also be configured to control an implantable medical device to deliver the first electric field from a first electrode combination of implanted electrodes and control the implantable medical device to deliver, alternating with the first electric field, the second electric field from a second electrode combination of implanted electrodes different than the first electrode combination.

  • Patent number: 11655418
    Abstract: A process for producing isotropic and mesophase pitch with reduced solids contamination from aromatic liquids contaminated with solids, such as catalyst fines or semi-coke. Contaminated feed is charged through one or more pitch forming reactors which discharge a pitch rich liquid and a vapor phase with reduced solids contamination. The vapor phase is cooled, condensed and may be charged continuously to another pitch forming reactor in parallel or used intermittently as a total or partial replacement for solids contaminated feed.

  • Patent number: 5226644
    Abstract: A pocket billiard table is made up of an elliptical playing surface having an outer cushion member surrounding the playing surface and ball pockets recessed into the cushion member and which are closely grouped along the intermediate area and away from opposite ends of the playing surface.

  • Patent number: 4102776
    Abstract: An improved moving bed contacting design is disclosed, which is especially useful for moving bed reforming. A moving catalyst bed is contained in a single, downflowing annular bed. Multiple feed inlet and outlet locations, and baffles on screens containing the catalyst, permit radial flow operation through a single bed of catalyst to simulate several distinct catalyst beds. Some gas may flow up or down, instead of radially to increase or decrease the loading of the catalyst bed.
