An apparatus incorporating a chemical seal and method for removing fluids from a well is disclosed. The chemical seal is created by a foaming agent which, when in the presence of gas and fluids present in the well, and when agitated by the apparatus, creates foam between the apparatus and the walls of the well in which it operates. The foam improves the seal between the apparatus and the inner wall of the well, improving the efficiency of the apparatus in lifting fluids from the well. Furthermore, the chemical seal improves the distribution of treatment chemicals within the well as it reduces liquid flowback. Automatic recharging or reapplication of the foaming agent and/or treatment chemicals to the apparatus can be accomplished with a chemical application assembly associated with the well.

Root canal abutment devices and methods which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured within a pulp chamber of a pre-existing tooth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy sleeves or plates or elements extending along the abutment. Each of the sleeves has a length with at least one curved or arcuate portion. Energy may be applied to the elements such that the arcuate portion flattens to allow for the oral appliance to be placed thereupon while removal of the energy allows the elements to reconfigure into its curved configuration thereby locking the oral appliance to the abutment. Removal of the oral appliance may be effected by reapplication of energy to the elements.

Dental retention systems which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured to an anchoring implant bored into the bones within the mouth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy compression plates or elements extending along the projecting abutment portion. Each of the plates has a length with one or more straightened portions and with at least one curved or arcuate portion. Energy may be applied to the elements such that the arcuate portion self-flattens to allow for the oral appliance to be placed thereupon while removal of the energy allows the elements to reconfigure into its curved configuration thereby locking the oral appliance to the abutment. Removal of the oral appliance may be effected by reapplication of energy to the elements.

The invention relates to the use of atrial pacing therapies to treat atrial tachycardia (AT). When an AT episode is detected, an implantable medical device applies an ATP therapy. If the AT episode persists, the ATP therapy may be automatically reapplied at a later time during the course of the same AT episode. In particular, previously used ATP therapies are reapplied when episodic conditions, such as cycle length or cycle regularity, change. Although a particular ATP therapy initially may be unsuccessful in terminating the AT, it may prove successful when the cycle length or regularity of the atrial rhythm changes. As the rhythm slows down, the AT may be more responsive to ATP therapies that were previously unsuccessful. As a result, potentially efficacious ATP therapies can be reapplied to terminate AT episodes, and reduce the number of episodes that require more aggressive termination by painful, atrial shocks.

A system of the present invention provides on-site reclamation, reconditioning, and re-use of poultry processing water. The system is connectable to a washing apparatus and comprises a first receptacle, a filter, a dispenser, a channel, a second receptacle, piping, and a plurality of pumps for circulating the processing water through the system. The processing water leaving the washing apparatus is collected in the first receptacle and pumped to the filter, where the processing water is filtered. As the processing water is being filtered, the dispenser dispenses an antimicrobial solution and water onto the filter. The debris filtered from the processing water is removed through the channel. The filtered processing water is then collected in the second receptacle prior to re-use.

A switching power supply device ensuring no voltage dip is caused by a sink current even if started with output voltage accumulated. When input voltage Vi is reapplied with output voltage Vo accumulated, supplying PWM signals to main switching element 9 and rectifying switching elements is stopped by output detection circuit 21 until a voltage produced by dividing output voltage Vo decreases to a first threshold allowable for energy caused by a sink current. Accordingly, inflow of the sink current immediately after reapplication of input voltage and the subsequent voltage dip are inhibited. Afterward, when the voltage produced by dividing the output voltage Vo decreases to the first threshold and then main switching element starts operating by PWM signal from control circuit 22, drive detection circuit 31 detects this condition to permit supplying PWM signal to rectifying switching elements 10, enabling inhibition of the subsequent inflow of the sink current.

A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve parallel or coincidental sample processing such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples arranged for coincidental movement perhaps by use of angular microscopic slide movements to cause processing activity that may include repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges. Through refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened from a more common 60 to 120 minutes to perhaps less than 15 minutes so as to permit use of such a system in an intraoperative or surgical environment such as recommended by the College of American Pathologists intraoperative guidelines or the like. Patients may thus avoid a need to be subjected to an additional surgical procedure when lab results become available to see if tumors or the like were fully removed in a prior procedure.

The present invention relates to an adhesive-backed printed pressure sensitive cut label assembly with easy temporary removability, wherein the portion of the label forming the label stock may be printed on the back- or reverse-side of the label face stock and whereby the printed surface is applied with a hot melt or acrylic adhesive that ensures easy short-term removability from a container surface and reapplication thereto. The label stock is laminated to a base stock comprising a paper or polymeric release liner coated with silicone or other adhesive release coating. During manufacturing of the label assembly, the label stock and base stock are simultaneously fed to laminating rollers following a die-cutting process, whereby the two are joined. One feature of the invention is the ease of temporary removability after application to the surface of a container whereby there is no adhesion of the ink printed on the label to the container surface itself. An additional feature is the elimination of the need for an overlamination of the label face stock when using a reverse-printed label face stock over which an appropriate adhesive is applied.
