Abstract: A gas storage system formed of a continuous pipe wound in plural layers, each layer having plural loops. The pipe may be distributed within a container, which may serve as a carousel for winding the pipe and as a gas containment device. When containers, each containing a continuous pipe are stacked upon each other, the weight of upper containers may be born by the walls of lower containers, thus preventing lower layers of pipe from suffering stresses due to crushing by upper layers. A method of transporting gas to a gas distribution facility including obtaining a supply of gas at a gas supply point remote from the gas distribution facility, injecting the gas into a continuous pipe bent to form plural layers, each layer including plural loops of pipe, transporting the continuous pipe along with the gas to the gas distribution facility preferably in a ship and discharging the gas at the gas distribution facility. It is preferred that cooling of the pipe during discharging of the gas be conserved so that during subsequent filling the pipe is initially cool. Also, in a further aspect of the invention, during filling, the gas pressure should be maintained as constant as possible for example by controlled release of an incompressible liquid from the pipe as the pipe is filled with gas. Energy from the incompressible liquid may then be recovered or dissipated outside of the pipes.

Abstract: A high speed fluid jet nozzle made at least in part of a porous material and configured so that the porous part of the nozzle is surrounded at least in part by a reservoir containing a lubricant fluid. As a cutting fluid passes through the nozzle, lubricant from the reservoir is drawn through the porous material and lubricates the surfaces of the nozzle exposed to the fluid jet. The invention not only resolves the main difficulties of the prior art relating to nozzle wear, it expands the use and applications of high speed fluid jet cutters. By reducing wear of a jet nozzle, it is possible to increase the jet speed and reduce the nozzle diameter even further than the prior art, allowing much higher precision, deeper cutting, and usage on difficult to cut material such as ceramics. The invention thus provides a reliable but yet very simple method for preventing nozzle wear.

Abstract: A system by which external users, such as subscribers and service providers, can update their service data is disclosed. The system permits users to update their service data in a secure and controlled manner on a self-service basis in an intelligent network or other telecommunications network. An access system separate from the actual telecommunications services managing network elements is implemented in the invention, the access system providing the customers and service providers with an open interface to these network elements through a public data network. The access system controls access to the actual network elements by, for example, authenticating the party requesting access, checking whether the requesting party is associated with the data he/she desires to manipulate, and/or checking to which processing operations the requesting party is entitled. The users can thus access their own service data in the network elements managing the data in a manner controlled by the access system.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-invasive methods and compositions to differentiate, with a high level of sensitivity and specificity, swine that are genetically susceptible to diseases associated with F18 E. coli infection, from resistant swine. DNA polymorphisms in the swine alpha (1,2) fucosyltransferase 1 (FUT1) gene were used to differentiate resistant from susceptible swine. The invention includes a polypeptide with amino acid substitutions, encoded by the nucleotide polymorphisms, a molecular diagnostic assay, and a kit for the differentiation, of E. coli F18-adhesion resistant, heterozygous (carrier) and homozygous susceptible pigs. The molecular test identifies susceptibility to oedema disease and postweaning diarrhea with high sensitivity and specificity, therefore, is useful to swine breeder in their effort to enhance for resistance. Information on the polymorphisms of the present invention provides insight into causation and treatment of E. coli associated intestinal disorders.

Abstract: Administration of a radioisotopic compound by infusion over a period of time greater than two hours, preferably greater than twelve hours, greatly increases the maximum radioactivity that accumulates in the target cell. The efficacy of the administration of the radiolabeled compound can be increased about five times higher than prior bolus injection or short infusion methods. This method enhances the tumor to background ratio by increasing the actual  radioligand accumulated inside the tumor cells. This technique works for any radiolabeled compound whose cellular uptake is limited by a cellular process of either binding to a cellular receptor or to a transport protein. Once the radiolabeled compound is bound and internalized, the ability of an unlabeled compound to compete with the radioligand is markedly decreased. The primary factor governing residence time after internalization is the physical half-life of the radioisotope, not biologic half-life.
