Patent CA-2833767-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHULTZ ROGER L
IPC: E21B31/00
Filed: 2012-05-13
Abstract: A vortex-controlled variable flow resistance device ideal for use in a backpressure tool for advancing drill string in extended reach downhole operations. The characteristics of the pressure waves generated by the device are controlled by the growth and decay of vortices in the vortex chamber(s) of a flow path. The flow path includes a switch, such as a bi- stable fluidic switch, for reversing the direction of the flow in the vortex chamber. The flow path may include multiple vortex chambers, and the device may include multiple flow paths. A hardened insert in the outlet of the vortex chamber resists erosion. This device generates backpressures of short duration and slower frequencies approaching the resonant frequency of the drill string, which maximizes axial motion in the drill sting and weight on the bit. Additionally, fluid pulses produced by the tool enhance debris removal ahead of the bit.

Patent CA-2837649-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EICK PETER M
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to seismic surveying where complex geologies are likely to create data that is confusing or ambiguous for a conventional matrix of acquisition source points and receiver locations. With some understanding of the geological substructure, the acquisition source points and receiver locations that optimize the imaging may be found by using a reciprocal two-way wave equation propagation method coupled with the best geologic model available. With this, the acquisition source points and receiver locations that optimize the imaging may be used in seismic survey to better resolve the substructure and avoid the inclusion of data that obscures understanding of the substructure.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides for a method of determining if a sputum sample contains dysplastic or carcinomic cells by obtaining a sputum sample containing cells. The sputum sample is labeled with TCPP to stain cells suspected to be dysplastic or carcinomic. The labeled sputum sample is excited with an excitation wavelength of light of about 475 nm +/- 30 nm and emission at about 560 nm +/- 30nm is detected from cells identified to be macrophages. An imager focuses on the plasma membrane of one or more cells suspected to be dysplastic or carcinomic and emission at about 655 nm +/- 30 nm, if present, is detected for TCPP labeled cells of the sputum sample after focusing on the plasma membrane of the cells of the sputum sample.  Photon flux for each pixel of a sensor is measured to obtain a value for the imaged cell. The measured value is scored to determine if a cell is cancerous or dysplastic.

Title: Preservative combinations
Inventor: HEINTZ EELCO ANTHONIUS JOHANNES
IPC: A23L2/44
Filed: 2012-10-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a preservative system capable of protecting against spoilage by bacteria, yeasts and moulds in carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. In accordance with the invention this objective is realized with a preservative system comprising a combination of vanillin and cinnamate. Vanillin is known for its anti mould action. However the dosages that are needed of are too high for most applications. The present inventors found that potassium cinnamate at low concentrations has a positive effect on the inhibition of moulds in combination with vanillin. Moreover, the present invention, using a combination of vanillin cinnamate accomplishes complete inactivation of moulds at manageable sensory levels. Hence the present invention provides a preservation system comprising combinations of vanillin and cinnamate as well as applications of such preservation systems in alimentary products, especially carbonated and non-carbonated beverages.
