Abstract: A fluid injector system for delivering a multi-phase fluid injection to a patient and methods of fluid delivery is disclosed. Methods of creating and using a multi-aspect fluid path impedance model of the injector system are used. Modeling and adjustment of factors that affect impedance and prevent or reduce backflow, reduce the likelihood of fluid flow rate spikes and provide more accurate flow rates and mixing ratios of fluids may be repeated or happen essentially continuously during an injection. The adjustments may be determined before the injection or determined and/or adjusted during the injection. The determination may include sensor feedback commonly used in injectors such as pressure and position feedback as well as other sensors. In all cases, the user can be notified of adjustments through on-screen notices and/or through the recordation of the injection data by a control device of the injector at the conclusion of the injection.

Abstract: The process described herein presents a unique method and means of manufacturing medium density fibreboard (MDF) using agricultural plant stalks. The plant stalks are first depithed. The stalks are then broken down into fiber-like threads and made into fiber bundles. These fiber bundles are then combined with a resin component and a wax component, and the resulting mixture is cured. The MDF is economical to manufacture than prior art fibreboard in that it does not necessitate the use of expensive MDI resin. Further, the fibreboard is environmentally friendly in that it provides a beneficial use for agricultural waste.

Abstract: The process described herein presents a unique method and means of manufacturing strandboard using agricultural plant stalks. The plant stalks are first depithed and excess moisture is removed. The stalks are then combined with a resin component and a wax component, and the resulting mixture is cured. The strandboard is economical to manufacture than prior art strandboard in that it does not require the use of expensive MDI resin. Further, the strandboard is environmentally friendly in that it provides a beneficial use for agricultural waste.
