Title: Catheter having articulation system
Inventor: LENTZ DAVID J
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-05-01
Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: An articulation system for catheter steering and selective positioning of the catheter distal tip includes an articulation segment having a cylindrically shaped wall that is attached between a tip member and a catheter tube. The cylindrically shaped wall defines a longitudinal axis and surrounds a central lumen. The wall of the articulation segment is formed with a first section made of a first material having flexure! modulus, M1, -and a second section made of a second material having flexural modules, M2, with M2 being larger than M1 (M2 > M1). One end of a control wire is attached to the tip member, while the control wire itself extends from the tip member, through the lumen of the articulation segment and through the catheter tube. The sections are arranged to cause the tip member to deflect in a pre-selected plane in response to axial movements of the control wire.

Granted: 2005-08-23
Abstract: An automated conveyor sortation and item discharge system for sorting items of varying sizes and weights to designated output destinations along a conveyor, The system utilizes a segmented slat conveyor connected by flexible connectors. The flexible connectors form a tooth for driving the conveyor by a sprocket. The flexible connectors isolate adjacent slats, and the flexible teeth isolate the slat conveyor from the drive sprocket for an enhanced reduction in noise levels. The system may utilize a conventional belt conveyor or rigid platforms attached by flexible connectors. Removable ejection mechanisms can be attached to the individual slats of the slat conveyor or to the belt of a belt conveyor. The ejection mechanisms have self contained drive and actuation mechanisms and may operate independently of the speed of the conveyor. The drive mechanism for the ejection mechanism may be located separately from the ejection mechanism to drive the ejection mechanism when the ejection mechanism moves adjacent to a desired discharge destination. A programmable controller may be provided to control the conveyor and the discharge of items from the conveyor by the ejection mechanisms. The system is easy to repair and operates at high speeds at reduced noise levels.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for evaluating the capillary pressure curve of an underground deposit rocks based on measurements of rock cuttings or fragments such as drill cuttings derived therefrom, over the entire saturation interval of said rocks, in reduced time and at less cost based on said measurements. The method essentially consists in: measuring the permeability k of the rock cuttings, measuring the capillary pressure curve Pc based on the saturation of said fragments initially saturated with a fluid (for example brine) by subjecting them to centrifuging, and parameterizing a capillary pressure curve Pc satisfying empirical relationships depending on adjustable parameters, which are constrained to be adjusted to an asymptotic portion of the capillary curve measured by centrifuging, and to the value of permeability measured on the drill cuttings, so as to obtain the complete capillary pressure curve. The invention is applicable to evaluation of a hydrocarbon deposit for example.
