International Classification:

A61L 2/08

US Classification:

25045511, 2504923, 422 22

Abstract:

What is disclosed is an apparatus and method for assembling a reconstitution assembly () having a reconstitution device () having a first end connected to a flexible diluent container (), the reconstitution device () having a second end connected to a drug vial (). The reconstitution device () and containers, such as drug vials () or diluent bags (), are loaded onto positioning assemblies () on a conveyor (). The positioning assemblies () are conveyed to sterilization booths (). Sterilization fields are generated within the sterilization booths (), and the containers are sterilely connected to the reconstitution device () within the sterile fields.

US Classification:

48210, 48197 R, 48 61, 423644, 4236481, 423650

Abstract:

The present invention relates to processes for preparing gaseous products, and in particular, methane via the catalytic gasification of carbonaceous feedstocks in the presence of steam and an oxygen-rich gas stream. The processes comprise using at least one catalytic methanator to convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the gaseous products to methane and do not recycle carbon monoxide or hydrogen to the catalytic gasifier.

International Classification:

E01F013/00

US Classification:

404006000

Abstract:

An improved crash attenuator that uses a cable and shock arresting cylinder arrangement to control the rate at which a vehicle impacting the crash attenuator is decelerated to a safe stop is disclosed. The crash attenuator is comprised of a front section and a plurality of mobile sections with overlapping angular corrugated side panels. When the crash attenuator is impacted by a vehicle, the front section and mobile sections telescope down in response, and thus, are effectively longitudinally collapsed. For this purpose, the sections are slidably mounted on at least one guiderail that is attached to the ground. Positioned preferably between two guiderails is the cable and cylinder arrangement that exerts a force on the front section to resist the backward movement of the front section when struck by an impacting vehicle using a varying restraining force to control the rate at which an impacting vehicle is decelerated to safely stop the vehicle. The side panels can also be used in a guardrail configuration. A variety of transition arrangements to provide a smooth continuation from the crash attenuator to a fixed obstacle protected by the crash attenuator.
