  • Method for Forming High Efficiency Geothermal Wellbores
    Publication number: 20220372838
    Abstract: Wellbore synthesis techniques are disclosed suitable for use in geothermal applications. Embodiments are provided where open hole drilled wellbores are sealed while drilling to form an impervious layer at the wellbore/formation interface. The techniques may be chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological and are fully intended to irreversibly damage the formation in terms of the permeability thereof. With the permeability negated, the wellbore may be used to create a closed loop surface to surface geothermal well operable in the absence of well casing for maximizing thermal transfer to a circulating working fluid. Formulations for the working and drilling fluids are disclosed.

  • Ultra-wideband control of smart streaming devices
    Patent number: 11496790
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a smart streaming device are disclosed herein. The smart streaming device is controlled based on a position of an ultra-wideband (UWB) device. Based on the position of the UWB device, one or more service events for the smart streaming device can be conducted. For example, a privacy mode of the smart streaming device can be enabled or disabled based on the position of the UWB device. In another example, a distance can be determined between the smart streaming device and the position of the UWB device. Based on the distance, an output configuration of the smart streaming device can be set, such as dynamically adjusting volume or text size on the smart streaming device.

  • Method of production of phytocannabinoids for use in medical treatments
    Patent number: 11477953
    Abstract: A method of producing cannabinoids for use in medical treatments by growing cultured Cannabis sativa plant cells through tissue culture, the method comprising the steps of: selecting Cannabis sativa leaf tissue for culture; and growing a tissue culture from the selected leaf tissue in a liquid based medium whilst controlling the light exposure of the tissue culture to control the cannabinoid content of the tissue culture. Control of the light exposure can enable the phytocannabinoid content of the grown tissue culture to be tailored to the use intended for the tissue culture. For example, the THC content of the tissue culture can be controlled to be maximised or minimised depending on the intended use. Use of tissue culture is beneficial as compared to prior art methods as it allows for genetic consistency and reduces the resources necessary to produce plant cells containing phytocannabinoids.

  • MARKING DEVICE AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20220280260
    Abstract: A medical marking device can produce visible temporary marks, including at least one of indentations or colorations, in a specified pattern on skin or tissue of a patient. The marking device can include a body, such as a cap, that can removably attach over an end of a surgical marker. The body can include marking features, such as blades, optionally positioned at a longitudinal end of the body. The marking features can be pressed against the skin or tissue of the patient to form the visible temporary marks. The marking features can optionally be inked, optionally by the surgical marker, before the marks are formed. The marking features can optionally be distributed between a first subset, positioned generally along a line, and a second subset, positioned asymmetrically with respect to the line. An optional inclinometer can attach to the body to allow alignment to a horizontal direction.

  • Tissue penetrating surgical systems and methods
    Patent number: 11426180
    Abstract: A surgical system for penetrating and determining a characteristic of tissue. An instrument generates rotational torque, and a drill bit tool body extends along an axis between a distal end to engage tissue and a proximal end to couple to the instrument. An emitter operatively coupled to the instrument emits light. A detector operatively coupled to the instrument detects light. An emission lightguide within the tool body transmits light emitted by the emitter toward the tissue as the instrument rotates the tool body. A detection lightguide within the tool body is spaced from the emission lightguide and transmit light reflected by the tissue toward the detector as the instrument rotates the tool body. The emitter emits light into the emission lightguide along the axis, and the detector detects light reflected from the tissue exiting the detection lightguide transverse to the axis when the tool body is coupled to the instrument.
