Abstract

Cell flow technology is a platform technology comprised of a family cell, or multiple familiar cells (matrix), in a homogeneous or heterogeneous group format, which includes primary and secondary active cells and passive cells. These continuance cells in a congruent or varying size and shape that have the same or different degrees of capabilities are interconnected and interactive with or without the advantage of a properly calibrated and variable continuance valve(s) and shall dynamically transfers air, gas, liquid, or other substance or media, or mixture thereof by a continuously variable, and renewable, continuance of pressure resistance autogeneously through elastomeric potential energy, geometric advantages, introduction of a force, or removal of a source of a force. Thereby, the family cell will perform the predetermined function in a present device that shall use the technology for a wide array of uses for any imaginable living being that shall operate the technology.

Claims (22)

1. A family cell, comprising:

a first continuance cell;

a second continuance cell; the first continuance cell and the second continuance cell being in fluid communication autogeneously; media being self-contained within the family cell; the second continuance cell being configured and arranged to have an elastomeric advantage greater than the first continuance cell with the second continuance cell providing endogenous pressure to the media greater than the first continuance cell to the media at all times to return flow of the media to the first continuance cell autogeneously;

a first conduit connecting the first continuance cell to the second continuance cell;

a first one-way valve positioned in the first conduit and oriented to permit one-way flow of media from the first continuance cell to the second continuance cell;

a second conduit connecting the second continuance cell to the first continuance cell;

a second one-way valve positioned in the second conduit and oriented to permit one-way flow of media from the second continuance cell to the first continuance cell;

wherein the family cell provides a self-contained and controlled interminable circuit loop of media with a continuously variable, and renewable, continuance of pressure resistance.

2. The family cell of claim 1 , wherein the continuance cells include individual, interchangeable, and interactive cells.

3. The family cell of claim 2 , wherein the continuance cells are congruent or varying in size and shape with the same or different degree of capability.

4. The family cell of claim 1 , whereby media is dynamically transferred to the first continuance cell by any one, combination, or sum of:

removal of the form of pressure resistance of an operator force, motorized, mechanical, computerized or other form of pressure resistance;

decreased pressure volume capability, unequal pressure volume capacity;

greater endogenous pressure of the second continuance cell; or

a force selected from the group consisting of an operator force, motorized, mechanical, computerized, or other form of pressure resistance.

5. The family cell of claim 1 , whereby media is dynamically transferred to the second continuance cell or by any one, combination, or sum of:

removal of the form of pressure resistance of an operator force, motorized, mechanical, computerized, or other form of pressure resistance;

decreased pressure volume capability, unequal pressure volume capacity;

greater endogenous pressure of the first continuance cell, or

a force selected from the group consisting of an operator force, motorized, mechanical, computerized, or other form of pressure resistance.

6. The family cell of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one additional continuance cell fluidly interconnected to the first continuance cell and the second continuance cell by a pair of conduits and respective one-way valves therein to provide a self-contained and controlled interminable circuit loop of media with a continuously variable, and renewable, continuance of pressure resistance to more than two continuance cells; the first continuance cell, the second continuance cell and the at least one additional continuance cell having a different elastomeric advantage than each other.
