Patent AU-2011340216-A1 (AU)
Title: Wipe coated with a botanical emulsion having anitmicrobial properties
Inventor: LEE JAEHONG
IPC: C09G1/04
Filed: 2011-10-26
Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsion that is environmentally friendly and also exhibits antimicrobial activity is provided. More specifically, the oil phase of the emulsion includes a botanical oil derived from a plant (e.g., thymol, carvacrol, etc.). Because the botanical oil tends to leach out of the emulsion during storage and before it is used in the desired application, a water-dispersible polymer is also employed in the aqueous phase of the emulsion to enhance long term stability of the oil and, in turn, antimicrobial efficacy. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the water-dispersible polymer can effectively encapsulate the botanical oil within the emulsion and inhibit its premature release. Once the emulsion is formed, water can then be removed so that it becomes a substantially anhydrous concentrate. In this manner, the water-dispersible polymer will not generally disperse before use and prematurely release the botanical oil. When it is desired, moisture may simply be re-applied to the concentrate to disperse the polymer and activate the release of the botanical oil. Of course, to provide the optimum degree of biocompatibility, the water-dispersible polymer is also a "biopolymer" that is biodegradable and/or renewable.

Title: Expandable solid load ring for casing hanger
Inventor: VARGHESE SIBU
IPC: E21B33/043
Filed: 2012-06-07
Abstract: EXPANDABLE SOLID LOAD RING FOR CASING HANGER A subsea wellhead assembly includes a housing (12) with a bore (14). A hanger (10) is lowered into the housing (12), the hanger (10) having at least one downward facing load shoulder (40). An expandable load ring (42) is carried on the hanger (10). When casing weight is applied to the hanger (10), the weight energizes the load ring (42), causing it to expand and thereby increase the contact area between a load shoulder (19) on the load ring (42) and a load shoulder (16) on the housing (12). The shoulders (40, 19, 16) create a path for the load to be transferred to the housing (12). The increase in contact area increases the load carrying capacity of the hanger (10). The load ring expansion is limited to elastic expansion to allow it to return to a retracted position when the casing weight is removed. r 1/3 Fig. 1 5o -26 C -52 Ax -- 39 1-_4

Abstract: A node may determine a link quality between the node and multiple neighbor nodes. For each of the multiple neighbor nodes, the node compares the determined link quality between the node and each respective neighbor node to a predetermined threshold quality. If the link quality meets the predetermined threshold quality, the node may qualify the link and add the link to a list of qualified links that meet the threshold link quality. The node may then route communications to neighbor nodes with which the node has a qualified link.
