Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A drill pipe (134) forms an acoustic transmission channel for data to be transmitted from a downhole transceiver (136) to a surface transceiver (132).  By positioning a first low frequency acoustic attenuator (154) between a drill bit (156) and the downhole transceiver (136), acoustic noise generated by the drill bit is attenuated. Similarly, by positioning the surface transceiver (132) between the top of the drill pipe (134) and a second low frequency acoustic attenuator (130), acoustic noise generated by surface equipment is attenuated. In this manner, the first and second low frequency acoustic attenuators (130, 154) serve as terminators for the acoustic transmission channel. Finally, by combining a third low frequency acoustic attenuator (138) positioned between first and second sections of the drill pipe with first and second acoustic transceivers (136, 140) acoustically isolated from one another by the third low frequency acoustic attenuator (138) and non-acoustically coupled to one another for bi-directional exchanges of signals, an acoustic repeater is provided for the transmission channel.

Abstract: A computer-based method for maximizing the use of lumber in the production of truss members for a truss assembly using a linear feed saw apparatus. The method comprises storing a list of truss members to be cut by the linear feed saw apparatus, selecting from the list a first truss member for cutting, the first member having a trailing end. A second truss member from the list is selected for cutting, the second member having a first end that will nest with the trailing end of the first member. The second member is oriented such that its first end nests with the trailing end of the first member. The members are then cut using the linear feed saw. The nesting members can abut across the entire member width, only across a portion of the member width or at a single point. The nested ends of the first and second members may be bevel cuts. The selecting of a second truss member may comprise comparing the angles of the cuts to be made on the trailing end of the first member to the angles of the cuts to be made on the ends of at least two of the members on the list. The selected member may have an angle to be cut which is supplementary to one of the angles of the trailing end of the first member or which is close fitting with an angle on the trailing end of the first member. The selected member is oriented such that the supplementary or close fitting angle of the selected member is adjacent the corresponding supplementary or close fitting angle of the first member. Orienting the selected member may further comprise rotating the member around its longitudinal axis, its lateral axis or both.

Title: Method and apparatus for solar heating air in a forced draft heating system
Inventor: BURTON ANDY
IPC: F24S10/40
Filed: 2006-12-21
Granted: 2008-07-22
Abstract: A solar heating system for use in combination with a forced draft heating system for heating ventilation air of a building. The solar heating system includes a solar collector assembly for heating a liquid circulated through the assembly. The heated liquid is stored in an insulated storage tank where it can be circulated through a heat exchanger positioned in an air duct of the forced draft heating system as need to heat air flow through the duct. The use of a liquid as the heat transfer fluid and providing a storage facility for heated liquid permits the heating system to operate for a period of time after the sun sets or becomes ineffective in providing solar radiation until the heat stored in the liquid becomes exhausted. To increase the heat storage capacity of the liquid, one or more heat sinks can be utilized to absorb excess heat from the liquid and then transfer the absorbed heat back to the liquid when an opposite thermal gradient exists.  Additionally, the heating system can recover waste heat from hot combustion gases exhausted from a fuel-fired forced draft heating system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically revising host-intrusion-protection configurations according to varying host state and changing intrusion patterns are disclosed. A set of local servers, each functioning as a deep-security manager supporting a respective subset of the hosts, maintains and updates protection software containing filters and rules for deploying each filter. A local server cyclically monitors each host of its subset of hosts at time instants separated by adjustable monitoring periods to acquire host-characterizing data and determine an optimal set of filters. The local server maintains a profile for each host and determines a current monitoring period for a host according to the host's current profile. The processing effort is reduced by judicial adjustment of successive monitoring periods and selectively tailoring the host-characterizing data to the conditions of each host.

Abstract: Valves controlling flow of gas or liquid, where compressible material is trapped within a rigid housing to provide a leak-proof seal surrounding an longitudinally movable rigid shaft. Where the shaft has a hollow channel and perpendicular ports to the outer surface, it allows for on and off control and is called a hollow shaft valve. If the shaft has diametric reductions on its outer surface, the valve allows for variable control. Creating a series of hollow shaft valves and variable shaft valves on a single shaft allows multiple functions through a single seal to create a serial shaft valve. The technology also allows for the precise and indexed variable control of fluid flow through a variable shaft valve by having a bayonet style system to precisely actuate orifice size rather than a rotary handle. This arrangement has application in a wide variety of situations including chlorination valves.  In the case of automobiles, the valve used to vent fuel in the case of an accident can be triggered by mechanical means, such as an airbag deployment sensor system.

Title: Isolation of binding proteins with high affinity to ligands
Inventor: CHEN GANG
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2001-10-26
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a rapid approach for isolating binding proteins capable of binding small molecules and peptides via "display-less" library screening. In the technique, libraries of candidate binding proteins, such as antibody sequences, are expressed in soluble form in the periplasmic space of gram negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, and are mixed with a labeled ligand. In clones expressing recombinant polypeptides with affinity for the ligand, the concentration of the labeled ligand bound to the binding protein is increased and allows the cells to be isolated from the rest of the library. Where fluorescent labeling of the target ligand is used, cells may be isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). The approach is more rapid than prior art methods and avoids problems associated with the surface-expression of ligand fusion proteins employed with phage display.

Abstract: An improved configuration for an in-line direct contact diffuser-type steam injection heater provides for a diffuser whereby steam flow is controlled using an angled sonic diffuser and plug arrangement. The steam flow is controlled by means of a steam plug which selectively exposes holes through which the steam passes. In the preferred embodiment, the configuration provides for a diffuser that had been angled approximately 30° from vertical to facilitate better mixing of the steam with the fluid. The precise angle may be altered depending on the fluid characteristics. A more durable end seal is also used. The end seal is a piston ring which prevents problems associated with the use of elastomeric rings of existing art. A more uniform diameter plug with linear travel is also an improvement over the prior art.
