Multifunctional Fluid Circulation Technology

This inventive concept leverages the core technology of blood pumps to create innovative solutions for various industries, including agriculture, wastewater treatment, renewable energy, medicine, and oil recovery.

The original patent disclosed improved blood pumps for cardiac assist devices and mechanical circulatory support. However, the limitations of the original patent lie in its focus on medical applications, overlooking the potential of the core technology to address pressing issues in other fields. The new inventive concept tackles this limitation by adapting the blood pump technology to solve real-world problems in diverse industries.

The inventive concept encompasses a range of innovative applications, including: (1) optimizing agricultural crop yields by circulating nutrient-rich fluids through underground tubes; (2) purifying industrial wastewater by creating a vortex that separates contaminants; (3) generating electricity from ocean currents by harnessing kinetic energy; (4) delivering medications to specific areas of the brain through a catheter; and (5) enhancing oil recovery from depleted wells by injecting a fluid to increase pressure and stimulate oil flow. Each application leverages the unique characteristics of the blood pump technology, such as its ability to circulate fluids efficiently and create controlled pressure gradients.

The new claims introduce a paradigm shift by applying the core technology of blood pumps to entirely new industries and use cases. The inventive step lies in recognizing the potential of the blood pump technology to solve problems beyond medical applications and adapting it to address specific challenges in various fields.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include modifying the blood pump design to accommodate different fluid properties, developing new materials or coatings to enhance performance, or integrating sensors and AI algorithms to optimize operation. Variations could also involve adapting the technology to address specific regional or environmental challenges.

The multifunctional fluid circulation technology has vast commercial potential across various industries, including agriculture, energy, healthcare, and oil recovery. The target market includes companies and organizations seeking innovative solutions to pressing problems, as well as governments and research institutions interested in advancing sustainable technologies.
