Title: Production tubing shunt valve
Inventor: DILLON DAVID B
IPC: E21B34/08
Filed: 2000-03-24
Granted: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A submersible pump assembly suspended on a string of tubing in a well has a valve that drains the tubing above the pump when the pump shuts down.  The valve includes a valve housing installed with the tubing string above the submersible pump assembly. The valve housing has an interior in communication with fluid in the string of tubing above the valve housing, and a shunt port communicating the interior of the valve housing with an annulus surrounding the string of tubing. A valve cage is slidably received within the valve housing for movement between upper and lower positions. The valve cage blocks communication through the shunt port while in the upper position, and while in the lower position, opens the shunt port. A valve seat is located in the valve cage, and a valve member moves between a lower position, sealingly engaging the valve seat, and an upper position, allowing flow through the valve seat from the pump to the tubing string. Pump pressure causes the valve cage and the valve member to move to the upper positions. Ceasing operation of the submersible pump assembly causes the valve cage and the valve member to move to the lower positions, allowing fluid in the tubing string to flow out the shunt port to equalize with fluid in the annulus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des articles (1) de nettoyage jetables renfermant une émulsion (5) polyphasée à plusieurs constituants, ainsi qu'une bande continue (2) activante facilitant l'activation de cette émulsion en cours d'utilisation. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, cette émulsion polyphasée est une émulsion inverse à phase interne élevée, qui présente une phase lipidique externe continue ainsi qu'une phase polaire interne discontinue. En cours d'utilisation, ladite bande continue activante facilite la rupture de la phase externe de l'émulsion, ce qui libère la phase interne, celle-ci pouvant ainsi être utilisée à bon escient. La phase liquide interne pouvant représenter jusqu'à 97 % de ladite émulsion, une article d'essuyage "sec" pourra apporter des niveaux de fluide élevés (par exemple de l'eau ou un liquide polaire).

Après achèvement du traitement enzymatique, la pectinase est inactivée. Ensuite, une poudre obtenue par traitement de haricots autre que du soja (pois, etc.) est ajoutée à la suspension pour donner un second mélange. Le second mélange est séché par séchage par flux d'air ou par pulvérisation pour donner un produit de soja pulvérulent traité. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un produit de soja traité par un liquide peut être obtenu par suppression des étapes suivant l'inactivation de la pectinase.

Abstract: A highly flexible tissue-type heart valve is disclosed having a structural stent in a generally cylindrical configuration with cusps and commissures that are permitted to move radially. The stent commissures are constructed so that the cusps are pivotably or flexibly coupled together at the commissures to permit relative movement therebetween. The stent may be cloth- covered and may be a single element or may be made in three separate elements for a three cusp valve, each element having a cusp portion and two commissure portions; adjacent commissure portions for each pair of adjacent stent element combining to form the stent commissures. If the stent has separate elements their commissure portions may be pivotably or flexibly coupled, or may be designed to completely separate into independent leaflets at bioresorbable couples. The cloth covering may have an outwardly projecting flap that mates with valve leaflets (e.g., peri- cardial leaflets) along the cusps and commissures. A connecting band may be provided that follows the cusps and commissures and extends outwardly. The valve is connected to the natural tissue along the undulating connecting band using conventional techniques, such as sutures. The connecting band may be a cloth-covered silicon member and attaches to the underside of the valve at the cusps to provide support to the stent and to the outer side of the valve at the commissures. A multi-legged holder is used to implant the valve, with the legs serving to maintain an implant shape to the valve. The holder may have six legs with one releasably connected to each cusp and one releasably connected to each commissure. A method of implantation of the flexible valve using the holder is also disclosed.

Title: Communication control apparatus and method

Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: One or more nodes on a communication network are selected and set as one node group. In each of the nodes, group identification information representing the node group to which the node belongs is stored in advance. The group identification information is attached to the header of a data packet to be transmitted, so that nodes constituting a node group that should commonly receive data can be readily identified by comparing the group identification information imparted to the transmitted data packet and the group identification information stored in each receiving node. Given node can choose to become a node of a particular function, such as a clock master node, in which case control is performed to delete, from the node group, a node having so far played the role of the node of the particular function in such a manner that there exists only one node of the particular function per node group.

Abstract: A body support apparatus, for example a bed, comprises a support surface defined by support members (5, 24, 25, 28). Each support member is mounted for movement in a direction substantially normal to the support surface. Support members are so arranged that movement of any one of the support members in a direction substantially normal to the support surface and beyond a threshold distance relative to an adjacent support member causes movement in substantially the same direction of said adjacent support member. No movement of a support member is caused by the movement of an adjacent support member when the distance of relative movement is below the threshold distance. The support members are resiliently urged towards an unloaded position, by means of tension springs (7).

Title: Digital current ramping to reduce audible noise in stepper motor
Inventor: MASKE RUDOLPH J
IPC: H02P8/22
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A stepper motor controller and method for controlling the motion of a stepper motor by selectively energizing the motor's windings so that the current level in the windings match a desired current profile. The motor controller comprises a master logic device, preferably a microprocessor or microcontroller, which is programmed with logic for issuing control signals corresponding to the sequence with which the windings of the stepper motor are energized and the desired current profile. A portion of the control signals are received by a slaved logic device, which is programmed with logic for generating ramp command signals corresponding to the desired current profile. The slaved logic device produces a ramp command signal that is received by a digital potentiometer, which preferably includes an up/down counter. The output signal produced by the digital potentiometer corresponds to a current count value of the up/down counter, and it is controlled by the ramp command signals. By controlling the digital potentiometer with the ramp command signals, a current command signal is produced corresponding to the desired current profile and having a range between low and high reference voltages. This current command signal is provided to a stepper motor drive circuit, which controls the current levels in the stepper motor windings so that they correspond to the desired current profile and are phased according to required sequence.
