Abstract: A patient support platform or mobile support cart is provided. The mobile support cart includes a transmission system that allows the patient and/or medical staff member to choose a stop, walk or roll mode. In the stop mode, the castor wheels are prevented from rolling across the floor by a braking mechanism. In the walking mode, the transmission causes a tracking wheel to engage the floor for pro-viding tracked or guided motion to the mobile support cart. In a roll mode, the tracking wheel is raised and is disengaged from the floor, and the castor wheels are free to rotate. The platform is capable of supporting devices that may be attached or associated with a patient throughout their stay at a healthcare facility. The braking mechanism can include a cable and an associated brake arm, with the cable po-sitioned to allow braking without inhibiting the ability of the castor wheel to swivel with respect to a castor mounting plate.

Title: Completion de puits pour l'extraction du petrole visqueux
Inventor: BOONE TOM
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2010-05-25
Abstract: Complétion de puits pour répartir uniformément un agent réducteur de la viscosité (comme de la vapeur et/ou un solvant, par le drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur ou par une méthode de stimulation cyclique par la vapeur d'eau) dans un réservoir d'hydrocarbures (de bitume par exemple), pour répartir uniformément des fluides (plus spécifiquement des afflux de vapeur) et pour restreindre l'entrée de particules dans le puits lors de la production. Lors de l'injection, l'agent passe à travers un nombre restreint de rainures dans un tube de base. Il est ensuite dévié dans un espace annulaire entre le tube de base et une crépine ou un élément semblable et passe à travers la crépine avant de se déverser dans le réservoir. Pendant la production, les hydrocarbures passent du réservoir à travers la crépine pour se rendre dans un espace annulaire compartimenté. La crépine réduit l'entrée de particules (comme le sable). Les hydrocarbures passent alors à travers les rainures dans un tube de base avant d'entrer dans le puits. Si une crépine est endommagée, le cloisonnement et les rainures du tuyau de base restreignent l'entrée de particules dans le puits.

Inventor: TSAI SHIH-PERNG
IPC: C12P7/04
Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: A stable system for producing liquid products such as ethanol, butanol and other chemicals from syngas components contacts CO or a mixture of CO2 and H2 with a highly porous side of an asymmetric membrane under anaerobic conditions and transferring these components into contact with microorganisms contained within bio- pores of the membrane. The membrane side of the membrane utilizes a dense layer to control hydration of the bio-pores with a liquid phase. The gas feed directly contacts the microorganisms in the bio-pores and maximizes their utilization of the syngas. Metabolic products produced by the microorganisms leave the membrane through the side opposite the entering syngas. This system and method establishes a unitary direction across the membrane for the supply of the primary feed source to the microorganisms and the withdrawal of metabolically produced products. The feed and product flow improves productivity and performance of the microorganism and the membrane.
