Title: Improved travelling valve for a pumping apparatus
Inventor: FORD MIKE
IPC: F04B53/12
Filed: 2002-07-29
Abstract: An improved travelling valve, which provides improved qualities of wear resistance, efficiency, and gas lock prevention. the improved travelling valve has a ball which is positioned on a seal stem, so that the ball is reliably centered when seated on the valve spat, reducing damage to the ball and seat from improper seating and providing increased efficiency for deviated or non-vertical pumping operations and the pumping of highly viscous fluids such as heavy crude. Tn the preferred embodiment, the improved travelling valve is constructed so that a lower portion or the valve rotates during pumping, and thereby imparts rotational movement to the fluid passed therethrough. Such rotational movement of the valve and fluid helps reduce gas lock, and reduces damage to the ball, seat, and valve exterior from impurities in the pumped fluid. Preferably, rotational movement is caused by angled channels in an interior portion of a vein rotator positioned at the bottom of the travelling valve, working in combination with angled channels in the seal stem.

Inventor: GOLITSCHEK ALEXANDER
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2001-02-21
Abstract: A hybrid ARQ retransmission method in a communication system, wherein data packets being encoded with a forward error correction (FEC) technique prior to transmission, are retransmitted based on an automatic repeat request and subsequently soft-combined with previously received erroneous data packets either on a symbol-by-symbol or a bit-by-bit basis. The symbols of said erroneous data packets are modulated by employing a predetermined first signal constellation. The symbols of the retransmitted data packets are modulated by employing at least a predetermined second signal constellation. Each symbol bit has a mean bit reliability defined by the individual bit reliabilities over all symbols of the predetermined signal constellation. According to the invention, the predetermined first and the at least second signal constellation are selected such that the combined mean bit reliabilities for the respective bits of all transmissions are averaged out.

Title: Foundation funds generation system and method
Inventor: CAPLITZ GREGG
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: A method and system is provided for generating funds for a foundation mission statement, such as a charitable or not-for-profit organization or corporation.  A set of variable single premium universal life insurance policies are obtained from a insurer on a block of individuals. A lender loans the funds needed to pay the insurance premiums and any other start up costs and first year costs. Over the life of the loan, a re-insurer provides a mortality guarantee, to ensure a minimum stream of death benefits are paid by the insurer. The life insurance premiums are also invested to provide additional earnings. The cash value of the life insurance policies and the reinsurance policy serve as collateral for the loan. A trustee manages the funds held in an escrow account, including making payments to the lender, filing claims, and receipt of death benefits and reinsurance distributions. The foundation is ensured a certain annual cash flow. Once the lender is paid, the foundation receives any residuals funds and cash flow from that point forward, less any related expenses.

Patent CA-2434102-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEREZOVSKI MAXIM
IPC: G01N33/557
Filed: 2003-07-02
Abstract: The invention discloses a Non-Equilibrium Capillary Electrophoresis of Equilibrium Mixtures (NECEEM) method and NECEEM-based practical applications. The NECEEM method is a homogeneous technique, which, in contrast to heterogeneous methods, does not require affixing molecules to a solid substrate. The method of the invention facilitates 3 practical applications. In the first application, the method allows the finding of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of complex formation. It advantageously allows for revealing two parameters, the equilibrium dissociation constant, K d, and the monomolecular rate constant of complex decay, k off, in a single experiment. In the second practical application, the method of this invention provides an approach for quantitative affinity analysis of target molecules. It advantageously allows for the use of affinity probes with relatively high values of k off. In the third practical application, the method of this invention presents a new and powerful approach to select target-binding molecules (ligands) from complex mixtures.  Unique capabilities of the method in its third application include but not limited to: (a) the selection of ligands with pre-determined ranges of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of target-ligand interactions, (b) the selection of ligands present in minute amounts in complex mixtures of biological or synthetic compounds such as combinatorial libraries of oligonucleotides, and (c) the selection of ligands for targets available in very low amounts. In particular, the method of this invention provides a novel approach for the selection of oligonucleotide aptamers. The NECEEM-based method can be used for discovery and characterization of drug candidates and the development of new diagnostic methods.

Title: Compositions and methods for the treatment and repair of defects or lesions in articular cartilage using synovial-derived tissue or cells
Inventor: HUNZIKER ERNST B
IPC: A61K35/32
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for treatment of cartilage defects in animals and humans. The compositions of the invention include synovial tissu e, synovial cells and matrices containing synovial (or cambium) tissue or cells for use in filling a cartilage defect. The matrix and synovial tissue or cel l preparations may also contain a proliferation agent, transforming factor or other active agents to promote healing. A controlled- release delivery syste m may be used to administer the transforming factor. The compositions of the invention also include a synovial covering membrane or devitalized fascial sheet for covering the cartilage defect. The methods of this invention are those in which a minimally invasive surgical intervention is performed to remove a small portion of synovial membrane from a joint. Portions of the synovial membrane, or cells expanded in vitro, are implanted alone or within a matrix, into the defect site, where they produce new cartilage tissue and repair the defect. Alternatively, partially transformed synovial-derived tissue may be formed in situ and implanted into the defect site.
