20090298045 | Method For Selectively Expanding, Selecting And Enriching Stem/Progenitor Cell Populations - A method of producing stem/progenitor cells from human or animal origin. A population, from an embryonic, fetal or adult source, preferably from bone marrow, blood, fat, muscle, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, skin or neural tissues, that includes stem/progenitor cells, is treated with one or more first cytostatic or cytotoxic agents to which the stem/progenitor cells are less sensitive than the other cells of the population. Preferably, the agent(s) selectively deplete(s) from the population cells that are negative with respect to expressing a transporter gene of the first agent(s) while sparing cells that are positive with respect to expressing that gene. Preferably, the population also is treated with one or more cytokines and/or growth factors. | 12-03-2009 |

20080284175 | Self-Powered Non-Contact Water Appliance - The self-powered non-contact water outlet appliance of the present invention is configured so as to be deployed at a point of use as a unitary housing that encases a power supply unit and a flow control system. The power supply unit includes a pipeline-deployed electric generator deployed in a fluid flow passage configured in the outlet appliance and a power storage device that is charged by the electric generator. The generator is operatively responsive to a flow of fluid through the fluid flow passage. The flow control system includes an electronically actuated fluid flow control valve configured to control a flow of fluid through the outlet appliance, at least one sensor configured to sense a necessity to actuate the flow control valve, and a management system configured to manage operation of the flow control valve conditional to output received from the at least one sensor. Therefore, the water outlet appliance of the present invention may be connected to substantially any suitable water system supply pipeline at the point of use by performing a single connection action. | 11-20-2008 |

20130092020 | Fluid Pressure Driven Motor with Pressure Compensation Chamber - A fluid-driven motor has a manifold with an arcuate seal including first and second valve openings and a sealing surface. A cylinder pivotally mounted on the manifold has a facing surface cooperating with the arcuate seal. The arcuate seal and the facing surface define a position-responsive valve configuration such that, when the cylinder assumes a neutral position, an aperture of the facing surface faces the sealing surface, and when the cylinder is angularly displaced in either direction, the aperture overlaps one or other of the valve openings, thereby connecting to the correspond fluid flow channel in the manifold. A pressure compensation volume underlies the sealing surface and receives fluid pressure from the fluid flow channels through valves, or from the internal volume of the cylinder, so that a pressure within the pressure compensation volume approaches a value no less than a current pressure within the internal volume. | 04-18-2013 |
