Title: Novel coffee-extract and process for providing customized varieties and strengths of fresh-brewed coffee on demand
Inventor: CONNOR CHRISTOPHER WARD
IPC: A23F5/24
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An improved process for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a consumer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing process is useful for making relatively large quantities of fresh brewed coffee beverages (in particular customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths) as chosen by multiple individual consumers just prior to their consumption. Said process is easy t o use by the consumer or other individual (i.e., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. Such brewing process apparatus which is particularly useful f or providing coffee according to individual consumer selection, but in large, commercial or institutional quantities. "Delayed dilution" of a concentrated  extract is utilized to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon customer selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh brewed coffee extract after the extract ha s been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. The concentrate d extract has a brew solids level greater than 1.2% and a Delta Standard yield  of less than 8%.

Title: Oligomerization of olefins
Inventor: RANDOLPH BRUCE B
IPC: C07C11/02
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: A process for oligomerizing at least one heavy olefin having at least 5 carbon atoms per molecule in the presence of at least one co-fed light olefin having less than 5 carbon atoms per molecule is disclosed. The presence of the at least one co-fed light olefin results in increased C6=(C6 olefin) conversion (if present as one of the at least one heavy olefins), increased weight % of C11+ hydrocarbons in the C9+ material of the product and increased cetane of the C9+ material of the product as compared to the oligomerization of the at least one heavy olefin without the co-fed at least one light olefin.

Abstract: An end-to-end call identifier (EECID) is provided to uniquely identify a call leg across a packet network, regardless of the number of nodes used in completing the network path. The EECID allows for call association with a bearer connection so that high level call processing and low level bearer connection management can function independently but correlated by media gateways (309, 310, 414, 415) and media gateway controllers (301, 302, 401, 402).  Either a media gateway or media gateway controller can generate (502, 603) the EECID before establishing (504, 505, 604) a connection for a call. The EECID is then sent (503, 603, 604) to remote media gateways and media gateway controllers. The bearer connection can be setup by a media gateway at either end of the connection with respect to where the EECID is generated. The invention is useful in a connection oriented packet network that is connected to a TDM telephone network through a media gateway controlled by a media gateway controller.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of preventing and treating neural inflammatory or demyelinating disease, such as multiple sclerosis, via an inhibition of the activity or expression of phospholipase A2. The invention further relates to methods of identifying phospholipase A2 inhibitors and their use thereof for the prevention and/or treatment of neural inflammatory or demyelinating disease. An observed increase in the amount of phospholipase A2 in neural lesions in the EAE animal model system indicates that elevated phospholipase A2 activity or levels correlate with neural inflammatory or demyelinating disease. Therefore, in a further aspect the invention provides methods for the diagnosis and prognostication of neural inflammatory or demyelinating disease, such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract: A tie strap is provided that is releasable by means of an extended, resilient locking tab within an aperture within a terminal on the strap. The opposite end of the tie strap can be threaded through the aperture in order to tie wires and other objects. The extended resilient locking tab is affixed to the tie strap within the terminal. An extended end of the locking tab can be grasped and pivoted such that the tab's locking tip is pulled out of a groove between retaining ridges on the strap. The strap can then be pulled through the aperture to loosen or release the tie strap. The base of the tab is thickened to a buttress where it adjoins the strap such that the tab can return to a locking position with its tip between retaining ridges on the strap, upon the tab being released by the user, despite the tab having been released a plurality of times.

IPC: H01J31/00

Abstract: A linear beam amplification device includes an axially centered electron emitting cathode and an anode spaced therefrom. The cathode provides an electron beam in response to a relatively high voltage potential defined between the cathode and the anode. A control grid is spaced between the cathode and anode for modulating the electron beam in accordance with an input signal. A signal input assembly of the linear beam amplification device comprises an axial input cavity into which the input signal is inductively coupled. The grid-cathode region is electrically connected to the input cavity.  A low impedance grid-anode cavity is disposed coaxially with the input cavity and is in electrical communication with an interaction region defined between the grid and the anode. The low impedance of the grid-anode cavity is provided by constructing the cavity of a material having a relatively high surface resistivity, such as iron. The high surface resistivity tends to reduce the Q (quality factor) of the grid-anode cavity, which also reduces the impedance of the grid-anode cavity. Alternatively, the grid-anode cavity may be tuned to define a transmission line having an electrical length approximately equal to n.lambda./4, where .lambda., is the wavelength of the input RF signal, and n is an even integer.

Title: Recirculatable ball-drop release device for lateral oilwell drilling applications
Inventor: ESTEP JAMES W
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: Method for disconnecting tubular members and apparatus comprising upper (310) and lower housings (320) and a ball sleeve (330). The apparatus connects between tubing (150) and a drilling assembly (210). A splined connection is formed between a grooved recess (395) in the upper housing and a splined extension (450) of the lower housing. Shear screws (340) hold the ball sleeve (330) internally of the housings. To release, a ball (380) with a density equal to the density of the drilling fluid is pumped to seat on the sleeve (330) regardless of wellbore orientation. Pressure builds behind the sleeve (330), shearing the shear screws (340) so the sleeve (330) moves into the lower housing (320), thereby making the housings separable. Fluid continues flowing through recirculation ports (375) in the sleeve (330) before the housings are separated. After separation, a fishing tool grapples the extension to retrieve the lower housing (320) and drilling assembly (210). When the fishing tool attaches, flow can resume through the recirculation ports (375) to aid retrieval.
