Title: Instruments pour photo-ablation cardiaque
Inventor: FARR NORMAN E
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2001-07-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne des instruments de photo-ablation destinés à provoquer des lésions dans un tissu et notamment dans un tissu cardiaque pour causer des arythmies et similaires. Ces instruments à main sont particulièrement utiles en chirurgie cardiaque à ciel ouvert ou à orifice d'accès pour provoquer rapidement et efficacement des lésions curvilinéaires qui servent de blocs conducteurs. Les instruments peuvent s'utiliser pour effectuer des ablations endocardiques ou épicardiques et servent à créer des lésions dans le tissu auriculaire en utilisant l'énergie rayonnante avant de découpler électriquement les segments de tissus sur les côtés opposés de la lésion. L'instrument peut comprendre un élément d'émission de lumière comportant une fibre optique de transmission de lumière et un élément de diffusion de lumière. L'élément d'émission de lumière peut être disposé dans un boîtier préformé ou malléable pour créer une lésion curvilinéaire. L'élément de diffusion de lumière permet d'assurer une diffusion sensiblement uniforme du rayonnement laser dans la région cible circulaire, selon un motif curvilinéaire allongé. L'invention concerne aussi des procédés d'utilisation.

Title: Sewer inspection chamber with backflow prevention valve and method and apparatus for installing valve in sewer inspection chamber
Inventor: WATTS LEON B
IPC: F16K15/03
Filed: 1997-04-09
Abstract: An inspection chamber for use in sanitary sewer systems has an integral back-flow prevention valve. The valve can be installed through an access pipe with the inspection chamber in place underground. The valve does not interfere with the installation or removal of a plug in the inspection chamber during construction and inspection of the sewer system. The inspection chamber comprises a clip oriented to receive a valve member from the direction of an access port. The valve member comprises a pin connected to a flap member by a narrow bridge member. The flap member has a projecting handle member. An installation tool holds the valve member by the handle member and provides a tab which can be hammered downwardly to snap the pin into the clip thereby securing the valve member in the inspection chamber. An inspection chamber according to the invention avoids the necessity of providing a separate buried back-how prevention valve.

Title: Improved well testing system
Inventor: RICHARDS ANDREW
IPC: F16K31/528
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: A well testing system and well testing method is described which can be operated as a closed system with no production of hydrocarbons outside the well with the liquid hydrocarbon being re-injected. This is achieved by providing a string with at least two well conduits. One conduit is used to produce formation fluids to surface or to produce/store unrepresentative initial flow products and the other conduit is used to store formation fluid.  A flow control valve is provided at the lower end of the string or at surface and the size of the valve opening is controllable to allow formation fluid to enter the storage string at a controlled rate, so that the formation fluid flowing time is increased to maximise the radius of investigation into the formation to a similar order of magnitude of existing production test and extended well tests.

Abstract: An envelope tracking amplification system (200) that includes an envelope tracking power supply (ETPS) (208) amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal (201) to produce a linearized amplified signal (213). The envelope tracking amplification system samples the RF signal to produce a sampled RF signal (205). The ETPS (208) produces a control signal based on an instantaneous magnitude of the sampled RF signal and further based on an average magnitude of the sampled RF signal, produces multiple supply voltages, and, based on the control signal, couples a supply voltage of the multiple supply voltages to an output of the EPTS to produce an output supply voltage (211). The envelope tracking amplification system then amplifies the RF signal based on the output supply voltage to produce the highly linear amplified signal (213).
