Abstract: A method of monitoring fluid production in a well, comprises measuring over time local parameters at a series of locations along the well, each local measurement being responsive to changes in the parameters in the region in which it is made; measuring fluid properties in the well over time downstream from the series of locations; and determining changes in the local measurements and in the measured fluid properties; and identifying locations of the formation contributing to the changes in the measured fluid properties by determining corresponding changes in the local measurements. By combining a distributed measurement made within the formation and a measurement of the fluids in the well downstream of the producing formation, it is possible to identify the location in the well at which a change has occurred in the produced fluids. Installations and completion systems for performing the method include local sensors in completion screens which can also include sealing system for shutting off flow.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on a purifié des cellules épithéliales canalaires au moyen d'une colonne d'affinité pour MUC1 à partir du jus pancréatique isolé chez des individus en bonne santé ainsi que chez ceux atteints d'un carcinome canalaire pancréatique. L'analyse de microréseaux de ces échantillons de contrôle appariés de 3456 gènes humains a permis d'identifier un nombre de gènes spécifiques du carcinome tels que ceux pour AC133, CEACAM7 et SOD2. L'expression spécifique du cancer de ces gènes a été également confirmée par un procédé PCR en temps réel et quantitatif. Notre analyse de microréseaux avec des cellules canalaires pancréatiques purifiées a opté pour une nouvelle manière de développer un procédé de détection sensible du carcinome canalaire pancréatique au moyen du jus pancréatique qui est ordinairement obtenu dans des conditions cliniques. Le gène spécifique du carcinome canalaire pancréatique peut être identifié efficacement à l'aide de ce procédé, et il est, par conséquent, possible de produire une cible qui est importante dans le développement d'un médicament destiné à tester le carcinome canalaire pancréatique, et au traitement ou à la prévention dudit carcinome.

Abstract: A suction collection container for use in an surgery plume evacuation system comprises a main outer shell having a hollow interior. An inlet port permits air, smoke, moisture, liquid, and particulate matter to ingress into the hollow interior of the main outer shell. An outlet port permits air and smoke within the hollow interior to egress therefrom. An air filter at the outlet port precludes of moisture, liquid, and particulate matter from exiting the hollow interior through the outlet port. A deflector plate is interpositioned between the inlet port and the outlet port in fluid receiving relation behind the inlet port, to thereby deflect fluids entering the hollow interior through the inlet port and preclude the fluids from reaching the outlet port. An air flow path from the inlet port to the outlet port permits air and smoke to pass from the inlet port to the outlet port.

Inventor: STROUD GORDON W F
IPC: E05C3/12
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: This invention provides an improved gate latching apparatus, with means for guiding a latch, wherein said latch is in the form of an elongated member, whose longitudinal axis runs parallel to a free edge of the gate, and remains parallel thereto throughout its guided travel at an oblique angle relative to the edge of said gate. The latch engages and supports a substantial portion of the gate edge, which helps prevent the gate from being either deflected or bent out of position. During disengagement, the gate remains supported until a significant portion of the latch travel has been completed, at which time the latch disengages the gate simultaneously over the entire length of the latch. If the latch is moved to a partially disengaged position while still retaining the gate and is then released, it will return to the fully engaged position through means of gravity or other force.
