Abstract: A submersible pump assembly has a pump and a valve connected to the outlet of the pump. An outlet of the valve is connected to a riser. A valve member in the valve housing is vertically movable between a pumping position and a priming position, the valve member being biased toward the priming position. A priming conduit connects the outlet of the valve housing to the inlet of the pump for directing well fluids flowing through the conduit into an intake of the pump for re-priming the pump. When the pump is pumping well fluid, the valve member is moved to the pumping position by the fluid pressure, well fluids flowing from the inlet of the valve housing to the outlet of the valve housing but not through the priming conduit. When pumping ceases, the valve member returns to the priming position, well fluids flowing through the priming conduit for re-priming the pump.

Abstract: An expanded television program delivery system is described which allows viewers to select television and audio program choices from a series of menus. The primary components of the system include an operations center, a digital cable headend, and at least one set top terminal having a remote control. The system allows for a great number of television signals to be transmitted by using digital compression techniques. A combined signal is transmitted over satellite to a cable headend, which may modify the combined signal for changes or additions in programming or menu content. The combined or modified signal is subsequently distributed to individual set top terminals in the cable network. Menus are partially stored in a set top terminal in each subscriber's home and may be reprogrammed by signals sent from the operations center or headend. Numerous types of menus may be used, incorporating information included within the video/data signal received by the set top terminal. A remote control unit with icon buttons allows a subscriber to select programs based upon a series of major menus, submenus, and during program menus. Various data gathering and analysis techniques are used to compile programs watched information that in turn is used in packaging programs, customizing menu selections, targeting advertisements, and maintaining account and billing information.

Abstract: The invention describes an Atmospheric Vortex Engine in which a tornado-like connective vortex (37) is produced by admitting air tangentially in the base of a cylindrical wall (1). The vortex is started by heating the air within the circular wall (1) with fuel (83). The heat required to sustain the vortex once established can be the naturally occurring heat content of ambient air or can be provided in a peripheral heat exchanger mean (61) located outside the circular wall. The heat source for the peripheral exchanger mean can be waste industrial heat or warm sea water, The preferred heat exchange mean is a crossflow wet cooling tower (61). The mechanical energy is produced in a plurality of peripheral turbines (21). A vortex engine could have a diameter of 400 m; the vortex could be 100 m in diameter at its base and extend to a height of 1 to 15 km;  the power output could be in the 100 to 500 MW range. The vortex process could also be used to produce precipitation, to cool the environment, or to clean or elevate polluted surface air.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of treating tissue adjacent to a bodily conduit using thermotherapy, while preventing obstructions of the bodily conduit due to edema employs the circulation of warmed fluid to maintain the temperature of the bodily conduit walls and compresses the tissue to be treated to increase the effectiveness of the irradiated heat. An energy-emitting source containing catheter is inserted in a bodily conduit and is positioned in a region of the tissue to be treated so that the energy-emitting source radiates energy to the tissue to be treated. Fluid warmed to over 30~C is circulated into and through the catheter to warm walls of the bodily conduit adjacent the catheter. The circulated fluid inflates a balloon to a pressure to compress the tissue to be treated. The combination of warmed fluid over 30~C being circulated adjacent the bodily conduit to maintain the warmth in its walls and the compression of the tissue to be treated enables a natural stent to be formed that remains after the catheter and compression balloon is removed.

Granted: 2011-07-19
Abstract: A metal implant for use in a surgical procedure is provided with a surface layer that is integral with the metal substrate, and which incorporates a biocidal material. The surface layer may be grown from the metal substrate, by anodising, and the biocidal material incorporated in it by ion exchange. Alternatively the layer may be deposited by electroplating, followed by diffusion bonding so as to become integral with the metal substrate. In either case, silver is a suitable biocidal material; and both the release rate and the quantity of biocidal material should be low to avoid toxic effects on body cells. Electropolishing the surface before formation of the surface layer is also beneficial, and this may be achieved by electropolishing.

Granted: 2012-10-16
Abstract: These and other objectives are attained with a method and system for recording data monitored during the manufacture of molded ophthalmic lenses. This method comprises the steps of identifying a set of process parameters used in said manufacture, identifying an associated value range for each of the process parameters, and monitoring each of the process parameters during the manufacture of the lenses. If, during the manufacture of one of the ophthalmic lenses, one of the process parameters moves outside the associated value range, then that lens is rejected. However, if, during the manufacture of one of the ophthalmic lenses, all of the process parameters stay within their associated ranges, then that lens is identified as acceptable, and a device history record is made for that lens. This device history record includes a reference code for identifying the set of process parameters. A database, referred to as a shadow table, may be used to protect the integrity of data recorded during, or relating to, the manufacture process. In accordance with this feature, a shadow table is formed, and data items from device history records are copied into the shadow table in response to the occurrence of predefined events. For example, these predefined events may include whenever anyone, or anyone outside a group of identified individuals accesses the device history record to perform predefined operations, such as alter or deleted, on the data in the device history record.
