A system for flow testing an oil or gas well comprises acoustic transmission and reception devices for communicating preferably through at least 5,000 feet of an annular column of substantially static fluid which is susceptible to gelling which further attenuates the acoustic signals. Coherent acoustic signal communication through such column controls a tester valve to perform a drill stem or prod...

LINK PIECE FOR BONY ELEMENTS A link piece for bony elements comprises a central portion (2) and at least two anchoring portions (3, 4) rigidly connected to the central portion. The central portion (2) is made of a shape memory effect material and the central portion comprises a central hole (5), whereby a shape variation of this central portion (2) causes a variation of the distance between said a...

A solid state peripheral storage device receives an LSN address from a computer system and provides a mapping to a PSN data. The PSN data addresses memory units which are made out of solid state floating gate storage cells. In addition, a microsequencer controls the operation of the translation of the mapping of the LSN to PSN. Through the use of the mapping of LSN to PSN, defective sectors in the...

An interlabial sanitary pad is disclosed including a pickup module containing an absorbent which is adapted to fit in or adjacent to a vaginal opening, a capacity module containing an absorbent which is adapted to be positioned remote from the vaginal opening, and fluid-wicking fibers serving as the absorbent and further communicating with both the pickup and capacity modules for carrying fluid fr...

The present invention provides a narrow orthopedic casting tape which can be handled in longer lengths suitable for economical production of coated fabric products. The narrow casting tape of the present invention is knitted asa wide fiberglass fabric with at least one removable connecting yarn in the length (i.e., warp) direction of the fabric which acts to connect two narrower strips of fibergla...

The invention concerns a method and apparatus for scanning bodies, typically human bodies (12) for security or medical purposes. In the method, the body (12) is scanned with a beam (20) of X-radiation of sufficiently low intensity that no physiological damage is suffered. The X-radiation transmitted by the body (12) is then converted into an optical image. The optical image is intensified and conv...
