Title: Air hammer optimization using acoustic telemetry
Inventor: CAMWELL PAUL L
IPC: E21B47/14
Filed: 2010-06-15
Abstract: A system and method of optimizing air hammer performance in a well drilling rig whereby an electronic acoustic receiver (EAR) is used to monitor the effects of changing any of the operating parameters under his or her control. The signals are visually presented to the drill operator based on an EAR's output, along with current settings, allowing the drill operator to dial in the parameters of his or her choice until the optimal frequency of the air hammer is regained. The visual output displays the amplitude response of acoustic waves being detected and decoded at the surface by the EAR. The drill operator can observe and use this information to determine the changes necessary in the operating parameters to return the hammer to optimal frequency, and thus optimal performance.

Title: Multi-modality contrast and brightfield context rendering for enhanced pathology determination and multi-analyte detection in tissue
Inventor: GARSHA KARL
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 2010-10-07
Abstract: Multiple modality contrast can be used to produce images that can be combined and rendered to produce images similar to those produced with wavelength absorbing stains viewed under transmitted white light illumination. Images obtained with other complementary contrast modalities can be presented using engineered color schemes based on classical contrast methods used to reveal the same anatomical structures and histochemistry, thereby providing relevance to medical training and experience. Dark-field contrast images derived from refractive index and fluorescent DAPI counterstain images are combined to produce images similar to those obtained with conventional H&E staining for pathology interpretation. Such multi-modal image data can be streamed for live navigation of histological samples, and can be combined with molecular localizations of genetic DNA probes (FISH), sites of mRNA expression (mRNA-ISH), and immunohistochemical (IHC) probes localized on the same tissue sections, used to evaluate and map tissue sections prepared for imaging mass spectrometry.

Title: Ophthalmic solution for treating ocular infection comprising levofloxacin or salt thereof or solvate of the same, method for treating ocular infection, levofloxacin or salt thereof or solvate of the same, and use thereof
Inventor: NAGANO TAKASHI
IPC: A61P27/02
Filed: 2010-12-16
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and dosage of eye drops containing 1.5% (w/v) of levofloxacin, characterized in that, when the eye drops are dropped into the eyes thrice a day, bacterial conjunctivitis can be healed within a short period of time, compared with the conventional case where 0.5% (w/v) eye drops are used thrice a day, without increasing the incidence of side effects. Healing of an eye infection within a short period of time contributes to shortening of the exposure time of a pathogenic bacterium causing the eye infection to levofloxacin. As a result, it is expected that, when used in the aforesaid method and dosage, the levofloxacin-containing eye drops inhibit the appearance of a resistant strain which is caused by the prolonged usage of levofloxacin-containing eye drops in the conventional method or dosage. Moreover, it is confirmed that, when used in the aforesaid method and dosage, the levofloxacin-containing eye drops directly inhibit the appearance of resistance, which is caused by the short-term usage of levofloxacin-containing eye drops in the conventional method or dosage, in pathogenic bacteria causative of eye infections such as Staphylococcus aureus.
