Patent CA-2503760-A1 (CA)
Title: Support system for power tong assembly
Inventor: SZALACSI LESLIE L
IPC: E21B/
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A tong assembly having a powered tong mounted over a backup tong is supported at its rear by a post with torque measuring means. The powered tong is supported at its front, near its throat, by one or more struts that extend downwardly to the backup tong. Such strut (s) provide support for the powered tong when the assembly is placed on a support surface for storage. The struts each have a joint with a retracted condition in which the joint is rigid when the tong is placed on a support surface, and an extended condition in which the joint allows a degree of lateral displacement when the tong assembly is applying torque to a pipe string. This maximizes the amount of torque passing through the rearward post, and therefore ensures a more accurate sensing of applied torque by the torque-measuring device.

Patent CA-2530823-A1 (CA)
Title: Method, apparatus, and system for asymmetrically handling content requests and content delivery
Inventor: CHEN MICHAEL
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: Requests for content and delivery of content are handled in an asymmetric manner, with more bandwidth devoted to the delivery of the content than to the request for content. The request for content (600) is sent upstream over a first network and then sent upstream to a content library (170) over a second network. The content is retrieved from the content library (170), based on the request, and sent over a third network that is distinct from the second network. The third network has high bandwidth compared to the bandwidth of the second network. The retrieved content is processed (630) which may include buffering and decrypting, and is then sent to the user. The retrieved content may be sent to the user downstream over the first network, using more bandwidth than the bandwidth used for sending the request upstream from the user.
Patent CA-2530956-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLISON RICHARD F
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: A system for expression of a heterologous polypeptide in a transgenic host cell is disclosed. The system is based upon a transgene comprising a eukaryotic promoter operably linked to a DNA sequence comprising, in the 5' to 3' direction, a DNA sequence complementary to a sequence encoding a heterologous polypeptide, a DNA sequence complementary to an internal ribosome entry site, and a DNA sequence corresponding to a 3' untranslated region of a positive strand single-stranded RNA virus. Following introduction of a stimulus, the host cell synthesizes an RNA molecule complementary to a recombinant RNA encoded by the transgene. The stimulus can be a positive strand single-stranded RNA virus or a nucleic acid thereof. Because the complement of the recombinant RNA comprises an internal ribosome entry site and a sequence encoding a heterologous polypeptide, the host cell can synthesize the heterologous polypeptide.
