摘要:
A fluid separation system is provided for separating wellbore fluids into production fluids and non-production fluids. The system includes a separator adapted for transmitting mechanical power between a drive motor and at least one pump. The separator includes one or more separation units, such as hydrocyclone separators. A drive train traversing the separator is interfaced with drive elements, such as a submergible electric motor, and driven elements such as an injection or production pump. Wellbore fluids are channeled through the separator in either a push-through or pull-through manner. Production fluids are then transferred from the separator to the production pump for removal from the well. Non-production fluids are transmitted from the separator either to the injection pump for reinjection into a subterranean discharge zone, or directly into the discharge zone from the separator. The drive train elements traversing the separator are supported by antifriction bearings in interface plates on either end of the separator. The ability to transmit mechanical power through the separator facilitates assembly of pumping system components in various configurations as well as piping fluid communication paths between the pumping system components.

A blanket suspender assembly for suspending a blanket around pants of a user includes a blanket and a suspender. A strip is coupled along a full length of a top edge of the blanket. The strip is a first portion of a hook and loop fastener. The suspender comprises of a pair of straps. Each strap of the pair of straps has a front hinge and a back hinge. The suspender is placed on the shoulders of a user where the front fringe of each strap is positioned in front of the user and the back fringe of each strap is positioned behind the user. A plurality of tabs is coupled to a respective one of each front hinge and each back hinge. Each of the tabs is the second portion of the hook and loop fastener. Each of the tabs engages by hook and loop fastening with the strip.

An apparatus for automatically conditioning a patch plate and a plenum of an electrophysiology measurement system is provided. An arm is linearly movable between a non-operative position and an operative position. An end effector mounted to one side of the arm is configured to condition the patch plate. Another end effector mounted to an opposite side of the arm is configured to condition the plenum. A linear actuator is coupled to the arm and is configured to drive movement of the arm between the operative position and the non-operative position. When the arm is positioned in the operative position, the arm is situated between the patch plate and the plenum.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a resilient material lined stator and method of forming. A method of forming a resilient material lined stator can include disposing a resilient material tube 400 with a profiled helical inner surface 401 into the bore of a body 420. A cast material 410 can be disposed therebetween. The cast material 410 can bond to the body 420 to form a resilient material lined stator or the body 420 can be removed. The cast material 310 can include a conduit 312 or conductor 314 extending therethrough. The cast material 310 can include a pathway 316 formed therethrough. The resilient material can be an elastomer.

The present invention relates to an automatic elastomer extrusion apparatus and method. An apparatus 400 for in-situ extrusion of an elastomeric coating 410 on a profiled helical surface 450 can include a template (100, 200) forming a gap between the profiled helical surface 450 and an adjacent profiled helical surface (102, 202) of a template (100, 200) itself to extrude an elastomer therethrough. A tracking mechanism 302 and/or carriage 300 can allow a template to follow the contours of the profiled helical surface 350. The apparatus can include means for providing relative movement between the profiled helical surface and the template. The apparatus (500, 600) can include a cleaning module (502, 602), an adhesive application module (504, 604), an elastomer deposition module (506, 606), and/or a curing module (508, 608). Each module can further include a template (100, 200) and/or a tracking mechanism 302.
摘要:
A method of immunomodulating the T cell response in Staphylococcal bacteria is provided wherein an effective amount of the Map protein from Staphylococcus aureus is administered to a host to prevent or suppress the T cell response. The present method may be utilized with either the Map protein or an effective subdomain or fragment thereof such as the Map19 protein. The present invention is advantageous in that suppression or prevention of the T cell response in a host can prevent or ameliorate a wide variety of the pathogenic conditions such as toxic shock syndrome and other diseases associated with the T cell-mediated response caused by staphylococcal infection, and is particularly useful in cases where patients have had chronic or recurrent infections from S. aureus or other staphylococcal bacteria.

A bearing arrangement comprises a first component 10 and a second component 12, bearings 14, 16 being provided to support one of the first and second components 10, 12 for rotation relative to the other of the first and second components 10, 12, a radial clearance 24 being provided between cylindrical surfaces of the first and second components 10, 12, fluid being supplied through the radial clearance 24 to lubricate the bearings 14, 16, wherein the cylindrical surface of at least one of the first and second components 10, 12 is shaped to define at least one pocket 30.
摘要:
An acoustic device is provided comprising a reservoir adapted to contain a fluid and having an exterior surface, an acoustic radiation generator for generating acoustic radiation, and a means for delivering an acoustic coupling fluid to the exterior surface of the reservoir. The acoustic radiation generator is placed in acoustic coupling relationship via the acoustic coupling fluid to the reservoir. Acoustic radiation generated by the acoustic radiation generator is transmitted through the exterior surface and into any fluid contained in the reservoir. Uncontrolled flow of the acoustic coupling fluid at the exterior surface as a result of movement of the acoustic radiation generator is eliminated. Also provided are methods that eliminate such uncontrolled flow.
