Title: Apparatus for the sterile transfer of fluids
Inventor: VERKAART WESLEY H
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A method, and apparatus for transferring a fluid to a sterile field includes the use of a sterile enclosure (58, 68) housing a syringe (40). The enclosure (58, 68) is made in two parts, and allows the syringe (40) to be operated while it is in the enclosure. When it is desired to pass the fluids to the sterile field, the enclosure is separated into at least two parts to allow the syringe to be removed. This removal of the syringe is done such that the user in the non-sterile field does not touch the syringe.  Thus, the syringe, and fluid therein are easily transferred to the sterile field.

Patent CA-2330698-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BETANCOURT PAREJA WILSON ANCIZ
IPC: F04B15/02
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: The invention concerns to the petroleum engineering, particularly to the reciprocating pumps and may be used in the oil-extracting industry and other areas of national economy to pump fluids with sand or solids. The chain-piston pumping installation to pump fluid wells (water, oil, sand, etc) consists in avoidance of direct contact between walls of the cylinder and the piston with sand or another solids. The direct contact of sand or solids contained in the extracted fluids (Water-Oil), causes big reduction of useful life of the pump. The pumping process depends in good manner of the piston and its casing pump. When the extracted fluids content sand or solids, those materials wear the walls and then, they allow the passing of fluids trough them and the pump cannot work well.  The present invention provides a novel and durable reciprocating effective for pumping a mixture including solids suspended in pumping well fluids. It has the special fluid to protect the piston. The fluid will press the pumping well fluids and doesn't allow the contact between solids or sand with the piston-cylinder. The protecting fluid doesn't mix with any well pumping fluids and has to have a big density. This protecting fluid could be the mercury.

Patent CA-2347581-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for authorizing the transfer of information
Inventor: FRANZ DANIEL
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2001-05-15
Abstract: The present invention overcomes deficiencies in the prior art by providing a PIN--based system for managing delivery of privileged information, which utilizes "third- party" authorization. In one embodiment this system includes the use of three separate parties, a First Party, a Second Party, and a Third Party. The First Party initially "registers" with the Second Party by providing self-authenticating core registration information. This registration provides the First Party with a first set of privileges. The First Party may then ask for a PIN number in order to obtain a second set of privileges to observe information provided by the Second Party which is related to a Third Party. In requesting the PIN, the First Party must provide additional registration information (beyond the core information) to the Second Party relating to the Third Party, which the Second Party can authenticate due to an existing relationship which can be checked. The Second Party then forwards the PIN request to the Third Party along with the First Party's basic registration information. A PIN administrator at the Third Party's location can be designated by the First or the Third party. The Third Party then can decide whether to forward the PIN to the First Party. If the PIN is so forwarded, the First Party then may use the PIN to gain the requested additional access privileges. The second set of privileges can be dynamically modified by the Third Party. Although at least three parties can be involved, two of these parties could be the same.

Title: Compositions of preactivated unsupported catalyst having a given concentration and methods of using them
Inventor: MOFFET JODY MICHAEL
IPC: C08F2/34
Filed: 1999-12-28
Abstract: Reactivated unsupported catalyst compositions methods of using them are disclosed whereby the compositions have concentration of preactivated cataly st of at least about 0.04 mmol of preactivated catalyst per liter of solution when using aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon solvents, and a concentration of less than about 0.80 mmol/liter when using aromatic or halogen-substituted solvents. In the method, an unsupported catalyst precursor first is contract ed with an activator, or co-catalyst, in a suitable reaction medium, and then t he resulting mixture is contacted with additional solvent to form a preactivate d unsupported olefin polymerization catalyst composition that can be fed to a gas phase polymerization reactor without plugging the catalyst injection nozzle. Combining the unsupported catalyst precursor, the co-catalyst and th en adding additional solvent to provide such a composition prevents tube plugging, and provides a catalyst material that has high activity, avoids forming significant amounts of polymer agglomerates, and avoids reactor fouling.
