Title: Hydrodynamic bearing runner for use in tilting pad thrust bearing assemblies for electric submersible pumps
Inventor: IDE RUSSELL CHARLES
IPC: F04D13/08
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: An electrical submersible pump runner having a core layer and a wear layer affixed to the core layer. One embodiment of the invention provides an electrical submersible pump that includes a motor section and a centrifugal pump section. A seal section and rotary gas separator may also be included. The pump is powered by an electric cable that connects the pump, located in a bore hole, to a power source on the surface. A thrust runner coated with a wear layer (e.g., polymer) is provided in the motor and/or seal section to reduce bearing temperature, provide longer bearing life, reduce costs, and facilitate overhaul. The runner may also function as a rotating up-thrust bearing when the runner is coated with a wear layer on one side that is formed with a bearing geometry. In this case, the up-thrust bearing may be eliminated.

Patent EP-0188555-A4 (EP)
Title: Yeast cloning vehicle.
Inventor: BECK ANTON K
IPC: C12P21/00
Filed: 1985-07-09
Abstract: A cloning vehicle with yeast transcription control sequence and a yeast signal sequence placed in correct reading frame and transcripton direction with respect to an exogenous DNA sequence coding for a desired protein. In a particular aspect, the transcription and signal sequences are substantially identical to those of the naturally occurring PHO5 gene, and the signal sequence codes for a signal peptide that has the same three carboxy terminal amino acids as the PHO5 signal peptide. The vehicle is used to transform a yeast host which secretes the desired protein. The vehicle can be made by ligating the exogenous DNA to a DNA fragment having a restriction endonuclease cleavage site that has been inserted at the three 3' end of the signal sequence, with no extraneous base pairs therebetween; alternatively, where G is permitted as the 5' end base pair of the exogenous DNA, the vehicle can be made by ligating the exogenous DNA, minus the base at its 5' end to a DNA fragment where a single G base has been positioned between the 3' end of the signal sequence and the exogenous DNA sequence.

Patent EP-0504139-A4 (EP)
Title: A solid state compass
IPC: G01C17/30
Filed: 1990-04-23
Abstract: A solid state compass uses arrays of Hall effect devices for indicating direction. The Hall effect devices (H1, H2) in an array are arranged in parallel and electrically coupled in series, the outputs of this array of the Hall effect devices are amplified by difference amplifier (OP1). The difference amplifier's outputs are fed to a polarity recovery circuit (OP2, OP3) to recover its original voltage polarity for the correct sensing of the polarity of the magnetic field. The output signals from the polarity recovery circuits are then processed by the largest voltage sensing circuit (T1, T2) to sense the largest possible magnitude of the amplified signals. This signal is then stored to a buffer (L1) controlled by a logic control circuit (I1, I2, I3, I4, I5), which is also used to reset the largest voltage sensing circuit. The buffer output is used by display driver and display element (D1, LED) for indicating the sensed direction. Additional arrays of Hall effect devices can be configured to improve directional resolution.
