Title: Low maintenance configuration for sliding seats
Inventor: PHINNEY RANDY P
IPC: B60N2/06
Filed: 2009-08-28
Granted: 2014-07-22
Abstract: A vehicle has an area capable of seating ambulatory passengers and alternatively receiving a mobility aid, such as a wheelchair. The area provides tracks for mounting at least two movable seats that can be moved to provide space in the area for the mobility aid. The tracks are provided with track covers that reduce maintenance requirements by preventing entry of debris. One of the seats is configured to move further than the other whereby the spacing between the seats after moving to accommodate a mobility aid is less than the spacing of the seats when used by ambulatory passengers. The seat configured to move further has a longer track cover, but the tracks are laterally spaced to avoid engagement between the track covers of the two seats whereby they can be moved to be spaced from each other by a distance less than the length of either of the track covers.

Title: Concurrent anaerobic digestion and fermentation of lignocellulosic feedstocks
Inventor: MACLACHLAN JOHN ROSS
IPC: C12M1/107
Filed: 2008-05-23
Granted: 2016-01-19
Abstract: A process for concurrent production of lignins, fuel alcohol, and biogas from lignocellulosic feedstocks. The process comprises: (1) pretreating a lignocellulosic feedstock to produce a solubilised liquid components stream comprising lignins, lignin-derived compounds, and a cellulosic pulp stream, (2) separating the liquid stream from the cellulosic pulp stream, (3) processing the liquid stream to separate and recover at least lignins, lignin-derived compounds, and semi-solid waste material, (b) processing the cellulosic pulp stream to saccharify and ferment the cellulose pulp to produce a beer which is then separated into fuel-grade alcohol and a waste stillage material, (4) anaerobically digesting the semi-solid waste material from the liquid stream and the waste stillage material to produce a biogas. The rate of anaerobic digestion can be manipulated by controllably supplying a portion of the monosaccharides produced from the cellulosic pulp. The cellulosic pulp stream may also be anaerobically digested.

Title: Plant stem cell line derived from cambium of herbaceous plant with storage root and method for isolating the same
Inventor: JANG MI OK
IPC: C12N5/04
Filed: 2008-09-22
Granted: 2014-07-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell line derived from the cambium of an herbaceous plant having a storage root and a method for isolating the same. More specifically, relates to a cambium-derived homogeneous cell line having the ability to divide, which is obtained from the cambium-containing storage tissue of an herbaceous plant having a storage root without a separate dedifferentiation process, and to a method for isolating the same. The cell line derived from the cambium of an herbaceous plant having a storage root has active division ability and is homogeneous. Also, it is stable during culture, because it has not undergone a dedifferentiation process. Thus, through the optimization of proliferation thereof, the cell line can be allowed to proliferate in a large amount within a short time. Accordingly, the cell line derived from the cambium of an herbaceous plant having a storage root makes it possible to produce large amounts of useful plants which are difficult to cultivate outdoor due to various problems associated with the period of cultivation, the selection of cultivation land, cultivation cost and the like.

Abstract: The need to enable wireless presence-based services more efficiently is addressed by embodiments of the present invention. A wireless presence proxy (WPP 415) monitors the messaging and messaging responses of a mobile station (MS 401) via wireless transceiver equipment (411). Such messaging and messaging responses do not explicitly specify a presence state or state change for the MS. Thus, based upon this monitoring, the WPP infers the presence state / change for the MS and maintains MS location information. The WPP communicates any presence state changes and confirms MS presence state as required by the presence server(s) (225). By monitoring messaging, notifying the server(s) of MS presence, and handling server requests (potentially from many servers for the same MS), embodiments of the present invention reduce or avoid many existing inefficiencies, such as wide area paging and call set up and tear down for each presence ping, from each presence server.

Title: Arrangement of isolation sleeve and cluster sleeves having pressure chambers
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN PATRICK J
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2011-08-31
Granted: 2015-08-11
Abstract: For wellbore fluid treatment, sliding sleeves deploy on tubing in a wellbore annulus. Operators deploy a plug down the tubing to a first sleeve. The plug seats in this first sleeve, and pumped fluid pressure opens the first sleeve and communicates from the tubing to the wellbore annulus. In the annulus, the fluid pressure creates a pressure differential between the wellbore annulus pressure and a pressure chamber on second sleeves on the tubing. The resulting pressure differential opens the second sleeves so that fluid pressure from the tubing can communicate through the second open sleeves. Using this arrangement, one sleeve can be opened in a cluster of sleeves without opening all of them at the same time. The deployed plug is only required to open the fluid pressure to the annulus by opening the first sleeve. The pressure chambers actuate the second sleeves to open up the tubing to the annulus.
