Title: An energy storage and recovery system
Inventor: ZARISFI KASRA
IPC: F03D9/02
Filed: 2013-02-04
Abstract: An energy storage system is described that includes at least one body (10; 10') that is arranged to move along a bore (110; 110') that is excavated underground. The energy storage system includes a seal assembly within the bore (110; 110'). The seal assembly(19, 27;19',27') includes a support member (19; 19') and a seal element (27; 27'). The support member is arranged to support the body (10; 10') for movement in two directions within the bore (110; 10') and the seal element (27; 27') is adapted to isolate two regions within the bore (110; 110') from each other. The system(100; 100')also includes a fluid loading system wherein a first fluid (5; 5') and a second fluid (12; 12') can be separately fed to the bore (110; 110'). The first fluid (5; 5') is arranged in use to apply pressure to a first face of the seal element (27; 27') to 10 charge the energy storage system (100; 100'). The second fluid (12; 12') is of heavier density than the first fluid (5; 5') and is arranged to apply pressure to a second face of the seal element (27; 27'). The fluid loading system can control levels of the second fluid (12; 12') within the bore such that when the seal assembly (19, 27;19',27') is moved to charge or discharge the system, the pressure difference on the seal (27,27')element is reduced, thus enabling a more 1 moderate seal element (27,27') to be used, which minimises friction losses between the seal (27,27') and a wall of the bore 110.

Title: Apparatus and method for thermal stabilization of pcb-mounted electronic components within an enclosed housing
Inventor: BARRY CHARLES F
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2007-08-22
Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and method. The apparatus comprises a matrix of thermoelectric devices configured to set thermal gradients across an electronic component within a housing; a matrix of thermosensitive devices configured to measure thermal gradients associated with the electronic component; and a controller configured to control the matrix of thermoelectric devices based on the thermal gradients measured by the matrix of thermosensitive devices. The controller is configured to identify an average thermal gradient associated with an external ambient temperature measured over a given time period, to stabilize a temperature within the housing by establishing a temperature set-point above the average thermal gradient, and to maintain the temperature within the housing at the temperature set-point so that the temperature within the housing remains above the average thermal gradient.
Patent CA-2879088-A1 (CA)
Title: Implant and method for producing an implant
Inventor: SIBBONS PAUL DAVID
IPC: A61L27/36
Filed: 2013-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates to an implant derived from intestinal tissue and to an improved method for producing an implant from intestinal tissue. According to the invention, intestinal tissue comprising a tubular segment of intestine with at least part of its associated vasculature intact is processed by: perfusing the vasculature through a vessel thereof with at least one decellularising medium; and separately perfusing the tubular segment of intestine through its lumen with at least one decellularising medium. The new method greatly improves tissue processing as compared with the methods previously known in the art, in which decellularisation solutions were perfused into the tissue via the vasculature only, relying on diffusion to decellularise and purify the small bowel tissue. In contrast, the invention provides for separate decellularisation and purification protocols for the vascular and tubular intestinal components, which are designed to optimise decellularisation and purification of each of these tissue structures while preserving certain tissue-specific three-dimensional structures. The resulting scaffold is substantially decellularised and provides an excellent implant for repair and regeneration of bowel tissue.

Title: Laser ablation cell
Inventor: GUNTHER DETLEF
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2013-03-22
Abstract: A laser ablation cell (1) comprises a flow channel (11) having an essentially constant cross-sectional area so as to ensure a strictly laminar flow in the flow channel. A sample chamber (21) is provided adjacent to a lateral opening (14) of the flow channel. A laser beam (41) enters the sample chamber (21) through a lateral window (16) and impinges on a surface (24) of a sample (23) to ablate material from the sample. The sample may be positioned in such a distance from the flow channel that the laser-generated aerosol mass distribution has its center within the flow channel. This leads to short aerosol washout times. The laser ablation cell is particularly well suited for aerosol generation in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), including imaging applications.
