Title: Oral combinations of hydroxocobalamin and folic acid
Inventor: GOUAILLE CHRISTINA
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: A variety of conditions is known wherein vitamin B12 is deficient, or wherein the administration of vitamin B12 is beneficial. Classically, once detected and if appropriate, these have been treated by the parenteral administration of vitamin B12 as oral administration is believed to be ineffective. Available oral preparations of vitamin B12 all contain cyanocobalamin which is less desirable than hydroxocobalamin. In accordance with the invention, effective oral formulations are provided which include, in addition to the hydroxocobalamin, folic acid or other folate precursor. The formulation for oral administration should be such as to provide, for a given daily dose, 0.5 to 50 mg hydroxocobalamin and 0.5 to 50 mg folic acid.

Title: Casing joint locator methods and apparatus
Inventor: YOO KWANG M
IPC: G01N27/82
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: A casing joint locator device (66) and methods are described. The locator device (66) includes a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor (70) that is capable of detecting joints (24) between sections (20, 22) of casing in a wellbore.

Patent CA-2395891-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASON RALPH DICKSON
IPC: H03B5/12
Filed: 2002-08-12
Abstract: A Method for injection locking an oscillator using sub-sampling tuning is taught herein. The tuning is accomplished by sub-sampling the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) output.  The VCO (3) output (4) is sub-sampled by an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) (5). The sub-sampled signal (6) is then processed in the digital domain using a digital circuit (7) that is used to determine the oscillation frequency (F c) of the VCO. The F c is then adjusted by generating a digital control signal (8) that can be converted to an analog signal (10) using a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) (9). Once the VCO oscillation frequency is tuned so that the desired frequency is within the Locking Band-Width (LBW) of the VCO, the input reference frequency is turned on and the VCO is injection Locked to the input reference. This invention allows the use of a much smaller input reference when performing injection locking, thereby allowing the use of harmonics of a much lower frequency reference.
