Title: Dispositif de resistance a debit variable regule par tourbillon et outils et procedes associes
Inventor: SCHULTZ ROGER L
IPC: E21B7/24
Filed: 2016-07-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de résistance à débit variable régulé par tourbillon idéal pour l'utilisation dans un outil à contre-pression permettant de faire avancer le train de tiges dans des opérations de fond de trou à long déport. Les caractéristiques des ondes de pression produites par le dispositif sont définies par la croissance et l'amortissement de tourbillons dans la ou les chambres de tourbillonnement d'un trajet d'écoulement. Le trajet d'écoulement est conçu de manière à produire des tourbillons primaires et secondaires en alternance -- un dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et un dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre -- où le tourbillon primaire est plus intense et produit une contre-pression plus élevée que le tourbillon secondaire. Ceci produit alors des impulsions de pression faibles et intenses dans le train de tiges. Les impulsions faibles peuvent être à peine perceptibles de sorte que la fréquence efficace des impulsions est déterminée par les tourbillons primaires plus intenses.

Abstract: Pressure conditioning systems for supplying insufflation gas to an open-ended body conduit such as a rectal cavity during a transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) procedure can reduce billowing of walls of the body conduit. A  pressure conditioning system can include a pressure storage component, an accumulator, and a flow restrictor. The pressure storage component can include a variable volume reservoir that is biased to a relatively low volume state. The flow restrictor can include insufflation tubing with a restrictor plate having a relatively low diameter orifice. The pressure storage component, accumulator, and flow restrictor can be fluidly connected in various orders in series or as side branches from a gas flow conduit. Despite a pulsed or otherwise discontinuous insufflation gas flow and leakage and absorption from the body conduit, the pressure conditioning system can maintain a constant pressure within the body conduit.

Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel DNA vaccines, configured to induce a robust and sustained immune response, and methods of use thereof. DNA vaccines proposed herein are configured to achieve this immune response by fusing the extracellular domain of a viral fusion protein to selected antigens or antigen-binding polypeptides. After the expression and secretion of the viral fusion-antigen protein from the initially transfected cells, the natural ability of the viral fusion protein to fuse to cell membranes and actively enter cells will allow for passive delivery of the fused target epitopes into neighboring cells, thus inducing a more robust immune response. The presented method described herein allows for the use of this DNA vaccine against known antigens present in proteins produced by infectious agents or cancer cells within a subject, against unknown antigens produced by infectious agents or cancer cells within a subject, or against naturally-occurring or synthetically-derived antigens delivered by other routes, such as injection.
