Abstract: The present invention is directed to alkylxylene sulfonate for enhanced oil recovery processes. The alkylxylene moiety in the alkylxylene sulfonate contains a high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and a high percentage of alkyl group attachment to the xylene ring at positions higher than the 2-position on the alkyl carbon chain. The present invention is also directed to a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir which method employs the alkylxylene sulfonate of the present invention. The alkylxylene sulfonate is employed in an aqueous media.  The method optionally employs co-surfactants. It has surprisingly been discovered that the high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and the high percentage alkyl group attachment to the xylene moiety at positions higher than the 2-position along the alkyl carbon chain on the alkylxylene sulfonate of the present invention provides an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surfactant having low Interfacial Tension (IFT).

Patent CA-2575795-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOBROVOLSKY SASHA
IPC: G06K15/02
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: A system for manufacturing a book on demand includes a first printing unit for printing a first component of the book (i.e. a cover), a second printing unit for printing a second component of the book (i.e. a text block), and a binding station for binding the first component and the second component together. The system may further include a computer control system receiving information relating to the book to be manufactured, the information comprising information relating to the content of said first or second component and information relating to the finished size of the book. The computer control system initiates among other functions-manufacture of the first component by said first printing unit, receives a signal that the printing of the first component is successful and, after receipt of this signal, initiates printing of the second component by said second printing unit. The first component could be stored in a buffer until the second component is ready. The advantage of this hierarchy is that the process which is more time consuming and/or sensitive with respect to disturbances and/or more expensive can control the over-all process. Rejects of completed books not fulfilling the quality criteria are avoided and down-times minimized. Also avoided is the requirement to store the second component until the first component is ready.

Title: Laser scanning system and scanning method for scanning bar codes
Inventor: CHARYCH HAROLD
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1995-10-25
Abstract: A scanner determines whether a target is a bar code symbol and, if so, whether that symbol is one-dimensional or two-dimensional. For two-dimensional symbols, the scanner aligns a scanning pattern with the symbol and expands the scanning pattern to reach only to the top and bottom edges of the symbol, not beyond. The scanner also has a microprocessor-control scanning engine that uses a coil to drive a scanning element and pick up feed back signals from the scanning element. A pulse-width-modulated regulator also provides fast and efficient operation for driving the coil. The scanning engine can also be designed to generate a pattern that precesses across the target, and a powerful interface to the scanning engine allows decoding and control logic to work efficiently with and independently of the scan engine.

Title: Biometric personal data key (pdk) authentication
Inventor: GIOBBI JOHN J
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for an integrated device that persistently (or permanently) stores biometric data for a user in a tamper-resistant format. Subsequently, scan data collected from a user (e.g., a fingerprint) can be compared against the biometric data. Once the user has been verified by the integrated device, a code can be wirelessly transmitted for authentication. The authentication module sends the code to a trusted key authority. The trusted key authority checks a list of enrolled integrated devices for a match. If there is a match, the authentication module sends a message to an application to allow access by the user. The trusted key authority also stores a profile associated with the code. The profile can contain user information such as name, age, account numbers, preferences, etc.  and can also describe the status of the integrated device.

Inventor: BROWN DANIEL
IPC: H04L9/28
Filed: 2006-01-23
Abstract: An elliptic curve random number generator avoids escrow keys by choosing a point Q on the elliptic curve as verifiably random. An arbitrary string is chosen and a hash of that string computed. The hash is then converted to a field element of the desired field, the field element regarded as the x-coordinate of a point Q on the elliptic curve and the x-coordinate is tested for validity on the desired elliptic curve. If valid, the x-coordinate is decompressed to the point Q, wherein the choice of which is the two points is also derived from the hash value. Intentional use of escrow keys can provide for back up functionality. The relationship between P and Q is used as an escrow key and stored by for a security domain. The administrator logs the output of the generator to reconstruct the random number with the escrow key.

Title: A polymer dip stick cleaning apparatus flexibly designed to accomodate untapped end-user specifications
Inventor: ROCHE RICHARD G
IPC: F01M11/12
Filed: 2007-09-10
Abstract: Based in a new paradigm, addressing not merely a nuisance associated with operation and maintenance of internal-combustion engines using transmissions in vehicles, this device does more than replace "oily rags" and inventions that reflect no awareness of health and safety, the environment or the need for size, shape and color flexibility. It over-arches other devices to qualify for use in all sectors of the economy. To date, rags and inventions to clean din sticks were of limited utility. A broader perspective shows a universal need for greater flexibility and wider adoption. The device combines three variably-shaped and sized components: a molded polymer plastic casing (one with tongue-and-groove closure), special adhesive-backed, chemically-absorbent felt-like polyester-like polyester; and industrial-strength adhesive tape, double-sided and attached externally to the polymer casing. It can meet unique client "in situ" requirements overlooked to date.  Volume production, using various molds and templates, occurs in a manufacturing setting.

Title: Detecting molecular complexes
Inventor: MACEVICZ STEPHEN
IPC: A61K39/395
Filed: 2006-03-24
Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for detecting the presence of, or for measuring amounts of, molecular complexes, particularly complexes comprising two or more proteins, such as receptor complexes of cell surface membranes. In one aspect of the invention, reagent pairs are provided that comprise a cleaving probe that specifically binds to at least one component of a molecular complex and one or more signaling reagents that specifically bind to one or more components of the molecular complex, at least one of which is different from the component to which the cleaving probe is attached. Each signaling reagent comprises a binding compound specific for a component of the molecular complex and a signaling polynucleotide attached thereto by a cleavable linkage. When the reagent pairs are bound to the same molecular complex, the cleaving probe may be induced to generate a reactive species that is capable of cleaving cleavable linkages within an effective proximity, thereby releasing a signaling polynucleotide by which the molecular complex is detected.
