Title: Control valve for a hydraulic power steering system
Inventor: DANLEY DAVID M
IPC: B62D5/083
Filed: 2005-03-23
Abstract: A control valve for a hydraulic power steering system includes a pair of flow circuits arranged in parallel. Each flow circuit includes an upstream and downstream flow orifices arranged in series. Each set of orifices defines between the orifices an intermediate pressure zone of the valve. Both orifices close together from a centered condition of the valve and fully close substantially together at a fully closed condition of the valve. The downstream orifice is larger than the upstream orifice when open to minimize the likelihood of cavitation and noise. An equalization passage fluidly connects both intermediate pressure zones to equalize pressure despite variations in orifice size due to manufacturing tolerances. The control valve includes a bypass passage in parallel with the flow circuits. A pressure relief valve in the control valve has a normally closed valving member in the bypass passage that opens the valve in the event of overpressure.

Inventor: KOZAK MAREK
IPC: G01V1/44
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: An acoustic logging system with a borehole tool comprising a transmitter assembly and an axially spaced receiver assembly. The transmitter and receiver assemblies are optionally rotatable with respect to each other, depending upon the embodiment of the logging system. The logging system is designed to measure, among other parameters, the velocity (or slowness) and amplitude of shear wave energy induced by the transmitter assembly within formation penetrated by the borehole. These parameters are extracted from full wave acoustic data responses of receiver elements comprising the receiver assembly, and are measured as a function of azimuth around the borehole. These parameters are subsequently used to determine anisotropic properties of the formation, such as the azimuthal direction of formation fracturing with respect to the well borehole. Optional rotation of the transmitter and receiver assemblies minimizes adverse effects of maintaining calibration and balance of multiple transmitters and receivers

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for assaying myeloperoxidase activity.  In the assay, a sample containing myeloperoxidase or suspected of containing myeloperoxidase is contacted with substrate including serine, hydrogen peroxide, and a halide. If myeloperoxidase is present in the sample, serine is converted into glycolaldehyde, which is further converted into glycolate by a glycoaldehyde converting enzyme (e.g. glycolaldehyde dehydrogenase) (1.2.1.21). The method then utilizes a cycling reaction system between glycolate and glyoxylate to generate a detectable signal that corresponds to the myeloperoxidase activity. Kits for assaying myeloperoxidases based on the same principle are also provided.
