Title: Method for producing synthesis gas for methanol production
Inventor: IAQUANIELLO GAETANO
IPC: C01B3/48
Filed: 2012-10-25
Abstract: Method for producing synthesis gas for methanol production. The present invention relates to a method for producing synthesis gas from a hydrocarbon containing feed, which synthesis gas is particularly suitable for subsequent use in methanol production. In this method, a hydrocarbon containing feed, particularly natural gas, is subjected to catalytic partial oxidation (CPO), followed by the water gas shift (WGS) reaction of a part of the reformed feed. At least part of the shifted feed is then subjected to hydrogen purification, preferably by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to obtain pure hydrogen, which hydrogen is subsequently combined with the remaining parts of the feeds to yield synthesis gas particularly suitable for methanol synthesis. The recombined stream preferably has an R ratio, being the molar ratio (H2-CO2)/(CO+CO2), in the range 1.9-2.2 and preferably about 2. The invention further relates to a method for producing methanol from a hydrocarbon containing feed, wherein first synthesis gas is obtained according to the method of the invention, which synthesis gas is further used to produce methanol.

Abstract: A dedicated hydraulic line for transmission of a signal device capable of generating one or more unique signals to one or more tools within a subterranean well. Each tool can be equipped with a reader device for receiving signals from and transmitting signals to the signal device. Each reader device can control operation of the tool associated therewith if the reader device is programmed to respond to signals received from the control device. Hydraulic fluid used to operate the tool can be conveyed via the dedicated hydraulic line or a separate hydraulic line. A separate hydraulic line can be used to reset the tool. Where the tools include sliding sleeves, the tools can be used to hydraulically fracture subterranean environs at spaced apart locations along a well bore in any desired sequence and without removing the tools from the well during the fracturing process.

Title: Gene expression profiles associated with metastatic breast cancer
Inventor: GIANCOTTI FILIPPO G
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2013-04-22
Abstract: A gain-of-function retroviral cDNA screen reveals that Coco, a secreted antagonist of TGF-ß ligands, induces solitary mammary carcinoma cells, which have disseminated to others sites and undergone an extended period of dormancy, to exit from dormancy at lung metastatic sites. Evidence indicates that Coco awakens tumor progenitor cells that have extravasated into the lung by inhibiting stroma-derived Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP). Whereas Coco enhances the manifestation of traits associated with cancer stem cells, activation of canonical BMP signaling suppresses these processes. Expression of Coco correlates with lung metastatic capacity in a number of human breast cancer cell lines and induces a gene expression signature that predicts metastatic relapse to the lung but not to the bone in advanced primary tumors. Disclosed herein is the gain-of-function retroviral cDNA screen and a gene signature predictive of selective relapse and gene expression microarrays or panels based thereon for use in prognostication of relapse.

IPC: C08B37/14
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: This invention relates to an external structuring agent for application in liquid detergent and personal care products. It has been found that cellulose based particles, which comprise cell wall material and their networks of cellulose based fibers and nanofibrils can advantageously be used to structure liquid detergent and personal care products, providing certain benefits that are much sought after in the design of such products. It is assumed that the organization of the cellulose fibrils, as it exists in the parenchymal cell walls, is at least partly retained in the cellulose based particles of the invention, even though part of the pectin and hemicellulose is removed there from. The process of making the structuring agent involves processing under relatively mild conditions, of a biological material that is currently considered a by-product.
