Title: Fluid flow modification apparatus
Inventor: SEOUD RICHARD ELIAN
IPC: F15D1/02
Filed: 2009-04-07
Granted: 2012-12-06
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are concerned with mixing of fluids by means of turbulence-creating means, and in particular addresses problems associated with known such devices that are excessively bulky and complex. In at least one embodiment the invention comprises a fluid flow modification apparatus for creating turbulence in a fluid when said fluid is moving relative to the fluid flow modification apparatus. The apparatus comprises: a plurality of turbulence-creating elements arranged in a fractal configuration, each turbulence-creating element having a first surface portion against which the fluid can flow and a second surface portion along which the fluid can flow; an insert for arrangement in the apparatus so as to obstruct the flow of fluid between adjacent said second surface portions of at least two turbulence- creating elements; and a support for holding the turbulence-creating elements in the fluid so as to allow movement of the fluid relative to the turbulence-creating elements and said insert. Embodiments of the invention thus incorporate one or more inserts with turbulence-creating elements arranged in a fractal configuration; in this way, exemplary such fluid flow modification apparatus are significantly less bulky and complex than known alternative mixers, whilst providing similar, if not improved, levels of mixing to those achieved by known mixing devices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the insert is attachable to each of at least two turbulence-creating elements, such that the arrangement of the inserts is symmetrical about a centre point of the fluid flow field. It has been observed that the symmetrical arrangement of the inserts significantly improves mixing achieved by the fluid flow modification apparatus.

Granted: 2012-04-26
Abstract: ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY FOR CONSTANT-CURRENT ELECTROPORATION 5 The present invention relates to a modular electrode system, and its use, for facilitating the introduction of a macromolecule into cells of a selected tissue in a body or plant. The modular electrode system comprises a plurality of needle electrodes (3); a hypodermic needle; an electrical connector (Figure 4) that provides a conductive link from a programmable constant-current pulse controller (Figure 7) to 10 the plurality of needle electrodes (3); and a power source. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operator can grasp the plurality of needle electrodes (3) that are mounted on a support structure and firmly insert them into the selected tissue in a body or plant. The macromolecules are then delivered via the hypodermic needle into the selected tissue. The programmable constant-current pulse controller (Figure 15 7) is activated and constant-current electrical pulse is applied to the plurality of needle electrodes (3). The applied constant-current electrical pulse facilitates the introduction of the macromolecule into the cell between the plurality of electrodes (3). Cell death due to overheating of cells is minimized by limiting the power dissipation in the tissue by virtue of constant current pulses.

Title: Fragranced water-sensitive film
Inventor: FUNK SARA A
IPC: B29C48/92
Filed: 2009-05-14
Granted: 2014-01-16
Abstract: A film formed from a water-soluble polymer matrix within which is contained at least one fragrance is provided. The film is water-sensitive (e.g., water-soluble, water-dispersible, etc.) so that upon contact with a sufficient amount of water, the polymer matrix loses its integrity over time to increasingly expose the fragrance to the ambient environment for releasing its odor. The ability to incorporate a fragrance into the polymer matrix is achieved in the present invention by controlling a variety of aspects of the film construction, including the nature of the fragrance, the nature of the water-soluble polymer, the manner in which the polymer matrix and fragrance are melt processed, etc. For example, the fragrance may be injected directly into the extruder and melt blended with the water-soluble polymer. In this manner, the costly and time-consuming steps of pre-encapsulation or pre- compounding of the fragrance into a masterbatch are not required. Furthermore, to obtain a balance between the ability of the fragrance to release the desired odor during use and likewise to minimize the premature exhaustion of the odor during melt processing, the fragrance is selected to have a boiling point (at atmospheric pressure) within a certain range, such as from about 125°C to about 350°C.

Title: Auxiliary conduit cutting apparatus
Inventor: ZAVEKY ANTHONY C
IPC: E21B29/00
Filed: 2010-05-20
Granted: 2014-09-04
Abstract: A cutting assembly for external conduits on a tubing string features a breakaway in the string that can be severed with a tensile force. Preferably each external conduit is run through a cutter housing. Upon severing of the string and applying a pickup force, a tension is applied to each external conduit since the severing of the string happens above all the cutter housings. Each housing cuts at least one conduit and the upper portion of the string brings with it the upper portion of the external conduit while the lower portions of each cut external conduit are retained in the cutter housings that remain downhole below the breakaway. In that manner there are no loose external conduit ends to interfere with and/or disturb subsequent fishing or other wellbore operations.
