A positive displacement expander with an operating fluid chamber of expansive volume regulated by a shifting head. The shifting head may enhance rotation of a housing utilized to rotate a shaft for providing work to any of a variety of power retrieval devices. Additional efficiencies may also be realized through unique hydraulic layouts for circulating of the operating fluid from a heat exchanger, through the rotary device and to a cold exchanger for continuous operating of the rotary device.

A vane motor with a rotor body driven by compressed air having vane gaps for radially movable vanes and a rotor shaft for rotatably bearing the rotor body relative to a motor bushing. A method for lubricating a vane motor that ensures particularly long, low-service operation is provided. The rotor shaft is configured as a hollow shaft with a first lubricant reservoir in the interior. The first lubricant reservoir has a lubricant filling opening accessible from the outside of the vane motor. The first lubricant reservoir is connected by at least one radial lubricant hole to at least one further lubricant reservoir arranged in a section of the rotor body between two vane gaps, and/or is connected to an outlet opening arranged in one of the vane gaps for supplying lubricant into the vane gap.

The present invention pertains to inter alia therapeutic delivery vesicles, for instance exosomes or microvesicles, comprising polypeptide constructs, methods for producing said therapeutic delivery vesicles, pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses thereof. The therapeutic polypeptide constructs comprised in the extracellular delivery vesicles enable sequestering target molecules of interest, to treat e.g. neuro-inflammatory diseases and cancer.

An arc turbine system includes an elliptical housing, a rotor having two sliding channels positioned centrically to the housing, and two sliding arcs disposed within the rotor sliding channels and slide therein. The sliding arcs are engaging the housing simultaneously at both ends in a near friction-free environment supported by repulsion force of like-pole magnets. Four chambers disposed within two static chambers between the rotor and the long-axis of said housing, the two static chambers further include proper inlet and outlet ports configured to allow fluid and gas flow into and flow out of the static chambers. The system configured in two distinct settings for two distinct uses. 1) To generate dense rotating energy with optimum efficiency, and high power-to-weight ratio by burning fuel and 2) to pump, compress, vacuum, convey, pressurize, turbocharge, allow precision and micro-movement of gas and liquid, conversion of pressurized gas and liquid to rotating energy, all with optimum efficiency, near-zero vibration, near-zero friction, capability of handling all viscous fluids and 100% increased flow rate using dual inlet and dual outlet ports.

The invention comprises a method for heating a fluid in an engine, including: a rotor rotating relative to a stator about a shaft and a set of vanes extending radially outward, relative to an elongated axis of the shaft, between the rotator and the stator, the set of vanes separating a set of expansion chambers, where the method comprises the steps of: (1) applying a shear force to the fluid to form a gas with a rotatable chamber within the shaft of the engine; and (2) exhausting the gas from the shaft to a rotor-vane chamber, the rotor-vane chamber comprising a void in a vane slot on a shaft side of a first vane, of the set of vanes. Optionally, the gas applies a rotation force by passing the gas from the first vane to a trailing expansion chamber of the set of expansion chambers.

A pneumatic control device includes a base seat unit, a cylinder unit and a time-delay unit. The cylinder unit is mounted the base seat unit, and is able to drive rotational movement. The time-delay unit is mounted to the base seat unit, and includes sequentially interconnected delay switch, flow-limiting valve, pressure accumulator and a control valve. The delay switch is operable to move between an action position whereat the cylinder unit drives the rotational movement, and a non-action position. When the delay switch is moved to the non-action position, the cylinder unit keeps driving the rotational movement for a period of time and then stops.

The therapeutic polypeptide constructs comprised in the extracellular delivery vesicles enable sequestering target molecules of interest, to treat e.g. neuro-inflammatory diseases and cancer.

A pneumatic engine includes first and second pneumatic motors. Each motor has a stator, a rotor, and a gas flow path. The rotor is rotatably connected to the stator. The gas flow path is defined at least in part by the stator and the rotor, and extends from a gas inlet to a terminal gas outlet. The gas flow path has an expansion portion extending between the gas inlet and an intermediate gas outlet, and a compression portion extending between the intermediate gas outlet and the terminal gas outlet. The terminal gas outlet of the first pneumatic motor is fluidly connected upstream of the gas inlet of the second pneumatic motor.

A gas passage switching structure for a pneumatic rotary hand tool includes a pneumatic motor and a revolving valve disposed in a device case. The pneumatic motor has an input ending surface. A forward gas inlet and a reverse gas inlet are formed and spaced apart on the input ending surface. The revolving valve has a gas supply surface. A gas supply port and a discharge port are formed and spaced apart on the gas supply surface. The gas supply surface and the input ending surface are arranged along an axis line in the device case adjacent or in contact with the arrangement so that it allows the pneumatic motor to drive the forward and reverse rotation by the high pressure air flow along the fluid passage in the axis line direction.
