Abstract: An isolation container (100) with a downhole electric pump assembly has an annular housing with an axial housing with an axial inlet and outlet. A blind coupling (102) above an electric motor connects to a tubular member and extends through the inlet of the isolation container. The tubular connects to tubing (26) supplying fluid from the surface. The blind coupling has a plurality of radially disposed ports (116) to allow pressurised fluid from the surface into the annulus (118) between pump and container. This fluid flows to pump inlet ports (120). The fluid is discharged through a tubular member (36), which extends through a packer (38) below the container and is injected into the subsurface. A cable (44) from surface supplies power and a check valve (110) releases entrained air from the container.

Abstract: An ignition circuit comprising storage means to store electrical energy, first and second switching devices, means for charging the storage means and means for switching each of the switching devices such that charge on the storage means is transferred to cause firing of an igniter in such a way that the voltage across each switching device is only a fraction of the total applied to the igniter. In this way, standard solid state switches may be employed rather than the more costly devices required to handle the full voltage to be applied to the igniter.        More than one such ignition circuit may be combined to provide a scanning multiple spark system with a plurality of igniters, each in conjunction with a pair of switching devices and means for switching each of the switching devices as described above.

Title: Method and system for characterizing aspheric surfaces of optical elements
Inventor: THIBAULT SIMON
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: A system for characterizing an aspheric surface with respect to an expected shape thereof, comprising a light source to emit light of desirable properties. A ferrofluid deformable mirror apparatus has a reflective surface being controllably deformable. The reflective surface is shaped as a function of the expected shape so as to reflect light in a known path toward a detector. Optical elements project light from the light source onto the aspheric surface such that light is reflected along an expected path if the aspheric surface has the expected shape. Light is reflected from the aspheric surface along an actual path. The optical elements project light on the reflective surface of the ferrofluid deformable apparatus such that light is reflected along the known path. A detector receives light reflected along at least one of the actual path and the known path to obtain an interference pattern as a function of the expected path. Means are provided for interpreting the interference pattern so as to characterize the aspheric surface with respect to the expected shape.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode d'utilisation des protéines du stress (HSP) pour amplifier la réponse immunitaire déclenchée par un vaccin. On peut introduire ces protéines HSP dans l'organisme d'un sujet avant, pendant, ou après l'administration d'un vaccin. On peut également les utiliser pour activer les cellules présentatrices de l'antigène qui sont ensuite introduites dans l'organisme du sujet conjointement avec le vaccin. Par ailleurs, les protéines HSP utilisées dans les méthodes de l'invention peuvent être non fixées ou fixées par liaison covalente ou non covalente à un peptide indépendant du vaccin. De préférence, le sujet est un mammifère, et plus préférablement, un être humain. Un exemple permet de démontrer que les protéines HSP induisent la sécrétion de cytokines et l'expression de surface de molécules présentatrices de l'antigène et de molécules co-stimulatrices. De plus, l'invention concerne des méthodes de traitement et de prévention du cancer et de maladies infectieuses chez un sujet.

Abstract: A process for removing creases from a film eliminates a problem in the quality of the heat seal for a patch bag having at least a segment of one or more bag side edges (or the bag bottom edge) covered by one or more patches. The film creases are removed by inflating the film tubing which is later converted to a bag, heating regions containing the creases with a heating means to a temperature which, in combination with the pressure within the inflated tubing, causes the creases to relax. The heated crease-containing regions are then cooled and the inflated tubing is deflated and wound up in a new configuration in which at least one patch covers at least one side edge or the bottom edge.
