Inventor: ERICSON SOLVEIG G
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-07-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés d'évaluation de sous-unités variables de récepteurs de lymphocytes T. La présente invention concerne également des séquences de nucléotides pour l'évaluation de l'expression de familles de TCRV. Ces séquences de nucléotides ont été obtenues par une recherche bioinformatique effectuée sur les séquences nucléotidiques pour les familles TCRV.alpha. et TCRV.beta.. Les séquences de nucléotides de la présente invention reconnaissent de manière unique chaque et toute sous-famille et membre allélique d'une famille TCRV particulière, et en même temps elles ne reconnaissent pas les membres de n'importe quelle autre famille TCRV. Ce profil de reconnaissance d'expression unique des séquences de nucléotides de la présente invention offre une grande utilité dans l'évaluation de familles TCR dans un contexte clinique, tel que par des réactions d'amplification en chaîne par polymérase, en technologie de puces de gènes, et dans la mesure électrophorétique directe l'ADN ou de l'ARN.

Abstract: Disclosed is a non-flowable anhydrous topical antiperspirant composition comprising a first portion and a second portion contiguous with the first portion. The first portion is semi-opaque to opaque and comprises a first hydrophobic carrier vehicle and a first gellant and has a particulate antiperspirant active suspended therein. The second portion is translucent to transparent and comprises a second hydrophobic carrier vehicle and a second gellant. Preferably, the second hydrophobic carrier vehicle has an average refractive index that approximately matches the refractive index of the second gellant. Ideally, for greater translucency the second portion will be substantially free of antiperspirant salt and/or other opacifying materials.  Preferably, the first hydrophobic carrier vehicle also has an average refractive index that approximately matches the refractive index of the first gellant. Even more preferably, the second hydrophobic carrier vehicle and second gellant are comprised of substantially the same materials in substantially the same proportions as the first hydrophobic carrier vehicle and first gellant.

Title: Water treatment method for heavy oil production using calcium sulfate seed slurry evaporation
Inventor: HEINS WILLIAM F
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: A process for treating produced water to generate high pressure steam. Produced water from heavy oil recovery operations is treated by first removing oil and grease. Feedwater is then acidified and steam stripped to remove alkalinity and dissolved non-condensable gases. Pretreated produced water is then fed to an evaporator. Up to 95% or more of the pretreated produced water stream is evaporated to produce (1) a distillate having a trace amount of residual solutes therein, and (2) evaporator blowdown containing substantially all solutes from the produced water feed. The distillate may be directly used, or polished to remove the trace residual solutes before being fed to a steam generator. Steam generation in a packaged boiler, such as a water tube boiler having a steam drum and a mud drum with water cooled combustion chamber walls, produces 100% quality high pressure steam for down-hole use.
