Title: Syringe driver for infusion
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ROBERT
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2019-05-08
Abstract: A syringe pump can be operated to produce fluid flow from a syringe installed therein. Features of the pump can produce a desired rapid commencement of flow followed by smooth delivery uninterrupted by stiction-induced slowing and acceleration. A stiff drivetrain can facilitate detection of excessive forces indicative of friction at a stopper-wall interface. The motor drive, gearing, and control parameters can enable customized acceleration patterns to determine optimal initial stage advancement to provide fluid delivery. These patterns can minimize or eliminate the delay in commencement of flow by overcoming both mechanical slack remaining and syringe stopper slack. To avoid flow irregularities produced by stiction forces in the stopper further, a mechanical vibration can be provided to the syringe and/or barrel to introduce movement of the stopper-wall interface, reducing the creation of high static friction coefficients.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des microbes modifiés non intergénériques qui peuvent fixer de l'azote atmosphérique et le distribuer à des plantes de manière ciblée, efficace et écologique. L'utilisation des produits microbiens selon l'invention permettra aux agriculteurs d'obtenir des rendements de culture plus productifs et prévisibles sans la dégradation des éléments nutritifs, le lessivage ou le ruissellement de produits toxiques associés aux engrais azotés classiques dérivés de manière synthétique, en atténuant ou en éliminant le besoin d'engrais azotés exogènes. Les microbes modifiés présentent des aptitudes uniques de colonisation et de fixation de l'azote, qui permettent aux microbes de distribuer l'azote à une plante céréalière d'une manière spatialement ciblée (par exemple, rhizosphère) et temporellement ciblée (par exemple pendant des stades avantageux du cycle de vie de la plante). Les microbes peuvent remplacer la pratique agricole standard d'épandage en bandes latérales et permettent de mettre en œuvre une forme d'agriculture plus écologique. La présente invention concerne également des procédés d'utilisation de microbes modifiés non intergénériques, par exemple, pour fixer l'azote atmosphérique par réduction ou élimination du besoin d'engrais azotés exogènes, pour augmenter le rendement, et pour réduire la variabilité des rendements en pleins champs.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to an electrochemical cell having a non-homogeneous anode. The electrochemical cell includes a container, a cathode forming a hollow cylinder within the container, an anode positioned within the hollow cylinder of the cathode, and a separator between the cathode and the anode. The anode comprises at least two concentric anode portions, defined by different anode characteristics. For example, the two anode portions may contain different surfactant types, which provides the two anode portions with different charge transfer resistance characteristics. By lowering the charge transfer resistance of a portion of an anode located proximate the current collector of the cell (and away from the separator) relative to an anode portion located adjacent the separator, improved cell discharge performance may be obtained.

Filed: 2019-08-28
Abstract: Robust optimization systems and methods are provided for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) that may be deployed in a clinically practical way to enable users to control the balance between nominal plan quality and plan robustness in a user- defined way. The method may include a normalized dose interval volume histogram (NDIVH)-based robust optimization, where the normalized dose interval (NDI) is calculated for each voxel considering dose variations in the face of uncertainties. It is then used to create a NDIVH. The area under this NDIVH curve may then be used to quantify plan robustness. By using normalized dose interval volume constraints (NDIVC) to control the shape of the NDIVH curves, plan robustness may be adjusted. The tradeoff between nominal plan quality and plan robustness can be modified in a user-defined way by adjusting positions of the NDIVCs on the NDIVH curves.
