Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing drill cuttings from an oil and gas well drilling platform (11) provides for the separation of drill cuttings from at least a volume of the well drilling fluid (i.e. drilling mud) on the drilling platform so that the drilling fluids may be recycled into the well bore. The cuttings are then transferred to a cuttings collection receptacle (e.g. trough (77)) on the platform. The separated drill cuttings are then suctioned with a first suction line (37) having an intake portion (38). The suctioned drill cuttings are transmitted to a processing tank (or multiple such tanks (26-28)) on the platform, each having a tank interior. A vacuum is formed within the processing tank interior with a blower (30) that is in fluid communication with the tank interior via a second vacuum line (34). The tank (26-29) is connected to a floating work boat (20), with a discharge flow line (24). Cuttings are processed within the tank, being chopped or cut into smaller size particles with a pump that is preferably contained within the processing tank. Cuttings are slurrified or liquified in the processing tank, then transmitted from the tank to the work boat via the flow line (24). Multiple holding tanks (26-28) can be positioned on the drilling platform for storage of cuttings until a work boat arrives. The work boat can be provided with one or more high capacity work boat holding tanks (23) (for example 100-1000 barrels) for receiving cuttings from the multiple holding tanks on the drilling platform when disposal is desired. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An endodontic post comprising a combined endodontic post and filling material tip in a single unit. To use the post unit, the device is placed in an oven or heater to heat and soften the thermoplastic material. The device will then be placed in a root canal that has been opened to a predetermined dimension by use of endodontic files, to seal the apical end. If necessary, the gutta percha can be compacted toward the apex, while it is still in the softened state, to ensure the apex is adequately sealed. The post is then cemented into place by lining the canal walls with a bonding agent and filling the interface between the post and the walls of the canal with a dual cure resin cement. This will result in a coronal seal of the canal via resin restorative material and an apical seal of the canal by means of gutta percha and sealant. The remaining portion of the post, extending supra-gingivally, will be used to build a core around it. Any excess will be cut off. One length of the device will be longer to accommodate the longer roots in anterior teeth. Another length will be shorter to accommodate smaller roots in the molar region.

Abstract: A system (1) receives data for a transaction dispute (12) and applies rules (13) to determine a recommended action. These rules involve processing a list of possible recommended actions in sequence until a match is found. The probability values are used for matching most instances, and a final recommended action in the list is selected by default. A decision tree (12) may be executed to progress a dispute. Each node has one or more parameter values, each parameter value directing retrieval of an answer using a particular mechanism. Each answer for a node is automatically written to a trace log. As execution progresses through the nodes, the trace log is built up. The trace log is used for execution of rules associated with an end node (53, 54, 56, 58, 61, 62, 63). The end nodes provides an output instruction for an action module (20).

Abstract: A resource pattern representing resonances between a stimulus pattern associated with mutations, and the output pattern is generated. The resonance pattern is interpreted to obtain set of confirmed mutations, by comparing the resonances indicated by resource pattern, with specific resonances expected for the mutation. The output pattern is interactively processed by performing a convergent reverberation to the resonance pattern representing resonances between a specific Quantum Expressor Functions and the output pattern, until a specific degree of convergence is achieved. A sub-set of mutations are selected for analysis. Preconditioner transforms are generated by inverse Dirichlet tessellation based on the selected sub-set of mutations. Then, sub-set of non-linear Quantum Expressor Functions are selected, based on the selected sub-sets. The output pattern is cross-correlated, to obtain a maximized output pattern. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) system for analyzing output pattern of biochip array; (b) non-linear Quantum Expressor Function generation system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic temperature compensation and pilot stage searcher selection in a mobile unit of a CDMA wireless communication link. Temperature values and measured pilot frequencies are stored in a Temperature Compensation Table and a Temperature Array. The dynamically updated frequency values maintained in the Temperature Compensation Table and Temperature Array are used to determine the searcher stage to be used in pilot signal acquisition. Both the Temperature Compensation Table and the Temperature Array (TA) are updated every 30 seconds after the mobile unit has acquired a pilot signal. The values in the Temperature Array correspond only to values measured during the current phone power on cycle. If the mobile unit loses acquisition with a pilot signal and must reacquire, the acquisition software examines the TA values to determine whether or not the current temperature is saved in the TA. If the current temperature is saved in the TA then a recent frequency estimate exists and the pilot acquisition software uses the frequency estimate and utilizes a fast searcher algorithm. If the current temperature is within a predetermined threshold of the values saved in the TA, the pilot acquisition software calculates a weighted estimate of the frequency based upon the values saved in the TA and values previously saved in the Temperature Compensation Table. The acquisition software then makes a decision of which searcher stage to be used based upon the weighted frequency estimate.

Abstract: A smart card stores secure data, such as monetary values, and selectively transfers the secure data to or receives the secure data from a compatible smart card. The smart card includes a data storage device that stores the secure data. An identification input system receives identification input from a user. Control circuitry is responsive to the identification input to transfer secure data into the data storage device from a compatible smart card or to transfer secure data out of the data storage device to a compatible smart card when the control system determines from the identification input that the transfer is authorized. A data transfer interface in an edge of one card couples directly to a like interface in a slot of the other card to enable the secure data to be transferred between the two cards when the two cards are moved relative to each other.

These inert flurorescent compounds have been found to be resistant to oxidizing biocides. One process for making these compounds is described and claimed as the condensation between a 1,8-naphthalic anhydride possessing the desired functionalities and the appropriately substituted o-phenylene diamine. Alternatively, o-amino-nitro-aromatics may be condensed with the various 1,8-naphthalic anhydrides when the in situ reduction of the nitro group is accomplished with a suitable reducing agent such as iron powder. The resulting fluorescent compounds can be used as inert fluorescent tracers in industrial water systems.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for therapeutically treating mammals, including but not limited to humans, to increase the relative insulin producing performance of endogenous pancreatic ²-cells and to cause differentiation of pancreatic epithelial cells into insulin producing ²-cells. Oral administration of a DP IV inhibitor causes the active form of GLP-1 to be preserved longer under physiological conditions. The extended presence of GLP-1, in particular in the pancreatic tissue facilitates differentiation and regeneration of the ²-cells already present that are in need of repair. These repaired insulin producing cells can contribute to the correction and maintenance of normal physiological glycemic levels.
