Abstract: A method of downhole cyclone separation that is less prone to problems associated with gas breakout. This method include the following steps. Firstly, placing a cyclone separator (12) downhole in an oil well (14) producing a mixed stream of oil, water and gas. The cyclone separator (12) includes a separation chamber (16) wherein liquids of differing densities are separated, at least one mixed liquids inlet (18) through which liquids pass into the separation chamber (16), a first outlet (20) for liquids of a first density range to pass from the separation chamber (16), and a second outlet (22) for liquids of a second density range to pass from the separation chamber (16). Secondly, connecting the first outlet (20) to a recovery conduit (24) extending to surface. Thirdly, connecting the second outlet (22) to a disposal conduit (26) extending to a selected disposal site. The method being characterized by the further step of, fourthly, connecting the at least one mixed liquids inlet (18) to a pump (28) and pumping a mixed stream of oil, water and gas into the separation chamber (16) of the cyclone separator (12). The mixed stream is separated into a recovery stream of oil with a reduced water content which flows out of the first outlet (20) and along the recovery conduit (24) to the surface and a disposal stream of mainly water which flows out of the second outlet (22) and along the disposal conduit (26) to the selected disposal site.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a liquid crystalline display comprising a display cell containing liquid crystalline material and a retardation layer. The retardation layer comprises a, preferably slightly cross-linked, high-molecular weight material layer and a substrate, wherein the high-molecular weight material has a nematic phase above its Tg and a dynamic viscosity at the working temperature of at least 100 Pa.s. The difference of the Tc of the high-molecular weight material and the Tc of the low-molecular weight material of the display cell (TCcell) is in the range of -30 DEG  C. to +30 DEG  C., preferably in the range of -20 DEG  C. to +20 DEG  C., and more preferably in the range of -10 DEG  C. to +10 DEG  C.; and the Tg of the high-molecular weight liquid crystalline material is lower than 50 DEG  C. It was found that if high-molecular weight material is used with a Tc comparable with that of the, preferably low-molecular weight, liquid crystalline material of the active cell, the temperature dependency of the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell. Thus, the retardation value of the retardation layer is comparable with that of the active cell within the temperature range in which displays are used. It was further found that by cross-linking of the high molecular weight liquid crystalline material, the retardation layers according to the invention become less susceptible to pinhole forming and unwanted variation of the twist, and have improved mechanical stability.

Abstract: A nasal dilator that prevents the outer wall tissue of the nasal passages of the nose from drawing in during breathing comprises a truss member. The truss member includes a flexible strip of material having a first end region, a second end region and an intermediate segment. The first and second end regions are adapted to engage the outer wall tissue of first and second nasal passages of the nose. The intermediate segment is configured to traverse a portion of a nose located between the first and second nasal passages, and a pad can be provided to prevent adhesion of the intermediate segment to the nose. The truss member further includes first and second resilient bands secured to the strip of material adjacent opposite edges of the intermediate segment. The resiliency of the first and second resilient bands acts to stabilize the outer wall tissue and thereby prevents the outer wall tissue of the first and second nasal passages from drawing in during breathing. Rather than a pad preventing adhesion, an adhesion reduction can be provided by a partial adhesion arrangement.

Abstract: Activation of smooth muscle cells bearing CD40 on their cell surface by CD40 ligand is inhibited by contacting the smooth muscle cells with an anti-T-BAM (CD40L) antibody capable of inhibiting the interactions between CD40 ligand and the CD40-bearing smooth muscle cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the smooth muscle cells. Activation of smooth muscle cells bearing CD40 on their surface by CD40 ligand in a subject is inhibited by administering to the subject an anti-T-BAM (CD40L) antibody capable of inhibiting the interaction between CD40 ligand and the smooth muscle cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Conditions dependent on CD40 ligand-induced activation of CD40-bearing cells smooth muscle cells are treated, in particular inflammatory bowel disease.

Title: Broadcast data receiver
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of a broadcast data receiver for use in receiving digital data providing any or any combination of video, audio or auxiliary data. The broadcast data receiver receives the data via satellite, cable and/or terrestrial transmission systems via a number of RF carriers. The broadcast data receiver includes at least two tuners which can be controlled to receive data on specific data carriers at specified frequencies in response to user selections when operating a broadcast data receiver. In some instances, at least one of the tuners may not be required to receive data at a specific frequency and, in these instances, in accordance with the invention, the tuner is utilized to scan the available frequency bandwidth for service information and to store said service information for subsequent use. The invention therefore allows the utilization of a tuner when not in primary use for a useful service.

Title: Dyed lyocell fabric
IPC: D06M13/425
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: Garments are constructed from lyocell fabric which has been resinated using a textile resin having just two groups per molecule which can reactively cross-link with cellulose molecules of the lyocell fabric then causticised by application under tension of an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and the constructed garments are dyed in a garment dyeing operation. Garments can be produced by this route which retain a smooth, evenly-dyed appearance with unpuckered seams and minimal creasing and so present a desired formal look, as distinct from the casual look imparted by the effects of fibrillation normally produced when lyocell garments undergo garment dyeing.

Title: Ball operated by-pass tool for use in drilling
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A by-pass tool for incorporation in a drillstring is adjustable between an inactive mode in which it allows fluid flow lengthwise of the drillstring during normal drilling operation, and an active by-pass mode when drilling is to be interrupted. The tool includes an outer casing, an axially displaceable sleeve within the casing, a valve seat associated with the sleeve and arranged to receive an activating ball, and by-pass port means in the casing. The valve seat receives the activating ball when the ball is launched from the surface and down the drillstring. The valve seat displaces the sleeve axially to adjust the tool from the inactive mode to the active by-pass mode. The by-pass port means allows a locking ball to partially block the port means and thereby initiate flushing-out of any drillstring fluid debris above the valve seat via the port means.
