Abstract: A novel approach to mitral or tricuspid valve repair involves the performance of an edge-to-edge fastening/securing of opposing heart valve leaflets through a catheter entering the heart. Thus, a device is introduced including a leaflet fastener applicator through a cardiac catheter or other suitable catheter. The leaflet fastener applicator and cardiac catheter can be formed into a kit. A gripper can be used to hold the heart valve leaflets while they are fastened.

Abstract: A valve with a smart handle including a memory module to log relevant data. A sensor on the handle determines when the valve is open, and this triggers the start of timers and recording of the "open" event in a log in the memory module. When the valve is closed, the sensor triggers stopping of the timers and recording of the "closed" event in the log. The timer information is used to calculate the duration of the time "open" event, and this, together with the actual date and time of the opening and closing of the valve are recorded in the log. Other relevant information, such as cylinder fill date, cylinder I.D. number, batch number, and patient name or account number may also be logged in the memory module. The log of the events and the corresponding dates and times may be used to prepare invoices for billing gas treatments, for inventory control, and for other record-keeping and control functions.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé d'expansion de groupes de semences d'une source de cellules de mammifères et l'utilisation de ces derniers dans la production de protéines exprimées par les cellules dans laquelle on utilise un bioréacteur spécialisé pour l'inoculation afin de développer les cellules avant de les transférer dans un bioréacteur de production. Le nouveau bioréacteur employé pour l'inoculation est conçu pour permettre de mettre en oeuvre un procédé amélioré d'expansion de groupes de semences de cellules de mammifères et se distingue par la présence d'un  'puits d'inoculation'' qui communique avec l'intérieur du bioréacteur et qui favorise la croissance des cellules de mammifères pour permettre l'expansion des groupes de semences à des fins commerciales. Le procédé consiste à ajouter les cellules cryoconservées à un milieu situé dans le puits d'inoculation du bioréacteur employé pour l'inoculation, afin de permettre aux cellules de se développer jusqu'à ce qu'elles atteignent une concentration prédéterminée dans le puits d'inoculation alors que l'état du milieu et de l'environnement est surveillé et ajusté, puis à augmenter de manière incrémentielle le volume du milieu à l'intérieur du réacteur afin de maintenir une croissance cellulaire optimale.

Abstract: In a method for modeling a reservoir having a horizon surface with a reverse fault, a volume of the reservoir is partitioned into fault blocks. A bounding surface of each of the fault blocks includes a portion of the reverse fault. The interior of each of the fault blocks includes only single valued horizon surfaces. Horizon data describing the reservoir is partitioned into patches, each patch corresponding to a fault block. A horizon surface patch model is derived from the data patch in the interior of each fault block. The horizon patch model includes an up-thrown or down-thrown fault trace, which defines the intersection of the surface patch with the bounding reverse fault. Continuity constraints are defined to ensure that horizon surface patch models on the opposite sides of the reverse fault coincide outside of the real fault.
