  • Publication number: 20090148363
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the production of TiCl4, in particular to such a process carried out using a fluidized bed process. According to the present invention there is provided a process for the production of TiCl4, which process comprises the steps of: —feeding TiO2 containing ore and coke to a fluidized bed chlorinator; —the assessment of total gas flow entering said chlorinator; —the measurement of the pressure drop inside said fluidized bed for a known height, the pressure drop across said fluidized bed and relating this to the composition of the fluidized bed. —the measurement of the CO:CO2 ratio of the gas flow leaving said fluidized bed chlorinator and relating this to the composition of the fluidized bed—calculating set points for said TiO2 containing ore and coke feed and adjusting said TiO2 and coke feed accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20070005084
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for harvesting a vessel section. The system comprises a vessel support member, a handle, and a tubular cutting device. The vessel support member is introduced into the vessel section to be harvested. The tubular cutting device may comprise an outer tubular member or an outer and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member carries at least one cutting element. The tubular member or members are advanced over the vessel section and vessel support member to core out the vessel section and tissue adjoining the vessel section.

  • Publication number: 20060020271
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a system for occluding a left atrial appendage of a patient. Some embodiments of the system can include a ring occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage and a ring applicator to position the ring occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage. One embodiment discloses a method of accessing endocardial surfaces of the heart through the atrial appendage. Additional embodiments of the invention provide a clip occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage. A clip applicator can position the clip occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage.
