Title: Needle safety device with antiremoval protection
Inventor: ALESI DANIEL E
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2002-06-12
Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: A needle safety device has a collar and a housing pivotally connected thereto. Cooperating locking members are provided at the collar and the respective lower sections of the housing so that, once the housing is pivoted to be in alignment with the collar, the locking members would coactingly mate with each other to thereby retain the housing to the collar. To ensure that the coacting locking members could not be sabotaged by the sidewalls of the housing being deliberately forced away from the collar, barriers in the form of guard flaps or arms are provided at the collar so as to prevent those sections of the sidewall that are susceptible to being forced away from the collar from being exposed. As an added benefit, the guard flaps could be used as an anchor to provide stabilization for the use of a hypodermic needle fitted with the safety needle device of the instant invention during a subcutaneous procedure to a patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides multi-branched wellbore systems and methods for forming and utilizing such wellbores. An access wellbore is formed substantially in a non-producing formation. From the access wellbore are drilled one or more branch wellbores into producing formations and into non-producing formations. Additional branch wellbores may be formed from the access wellbore or the branch wellbores. Seals between the access wellbore and the production wellbores are formed outside the hydrocarbon-bearing formations. Flow control devices and other devices are installed outside the access wellbore, thereby utilizing the access wellbore primarily for transporting fluids during production of hydrocarbons. The distance between the access wellbore and any other desired formation, such as the producing formations, is determined during drilling of the access wellbore. preferably by utilizing acoustic sensors deployed in a drilling assembly. The distance between the access wellbore and the various formations is utilized for adjusting the drilling path of the access. The branch wellbores may be utilized for storing equipment, processing and/or treating fluids,compressing gas, and redirecting gas and water downhole to improve hydrocarbon production.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système électrique à pile à combustible à l'hydrogène présentant un rendement amélioré. Il comprend une pile à combustible, une source d'hydrogène gazeux, un compresseur pour entretenir un courant d'air pressurisé, et une alimentation liquide qui est chauffé par la chaleur de récupération du système électrique et s'évapore dans le courant d'air pressurisé pour produire un mélange pressurisé d'air et de vapeur. Ce mélange pressurisé d'air et de vapeur, qui sert de préférence d'oxydant pour la pile à combustible, rendre en combustion avec le combustible dans un brûleur pour donner un courant d'évacuation haute température rempli de vapeur. Ce courant entraîne un détendeur qui dégage en sortie de l'énergie, une prise de puissance partant du détendeur utilisant l'énergie du détendeur pour, par exemple, entraîner un générateur électrique, ou pour entraîner d'autres composants du système. L'évaporation du liquide peut se produire à l'extérieur de la pile à combustible, ou peut se produire directement à l'intérieur de la pile à combustible, de préférence en utilisant un liquide de refroidissement directement injecté dans la pile à combustible. Ce système électrique à pile à combustible profite de la chaleur de récupération basse température de la pile à combustible pour évaporer le liquide donnant l'air pressurisé, ce qui aboutit à un mélange vapeur/air au potentiel de détente relativement important. Les systèmes et procédés correspondants de l'invention peuvent s'appliquer à une grande diversité de système électrique à pile à combustible, y compris un système électrique à pile à combustible "pur" ou "non-hybride", tirant son énergie d'hydrogène provenant soit d'une source externe, telle qu'un réservoir de stockage d'hydrogène, soit du reformage "direct" d'un combustible sur l'anode. L'invention peut également s'appliquer à des systèmes électriques à pile à combustible intégrés ou "hybrides" qui contient un reformeur de combustible local. Dans ces systèmes, la pile à combustible tire son énergie du reformat hydrogéné dégagé par le reformeur.
