Patent EP-0859230-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SETFORD STEVEN JOHN
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1998-02-09
Abstract: The invention described in this document relates to
methods and apparatus used to perform diagnostic assays in
which the means of detection is based on electrochemical
methods. 
     The detection of specific analytes is facilitated by
the use of labeled materials that are capable of generating
electrical signals under a given set of assay conditions.
The preferred labels are enzymatic in nature and operate by
generating or consuming electrochemically active species in
the assay environment. 
     The assay is performed in a suitable flow cell or
flowing liquid system device, incorporating a solid phase
material located such that it is in intimate contact with
the liquid being passed through the flow cell or flowing
liquid system and also in close proximity to a working
electrode. This electrode is poised at an appropriate
potential against a reference electrode and is able to
detect electrochemically active substances in the
surrounding liquid. Normally the flow cell or flowing
liquid system will also house a reference electrode and, if
required, a counter electrode. 
     In a typical embodiment, a sample suspected of
containing the analyte to be detected is mixed with a
molecular species having specific binding affinity for this
analyte. This molecular species is conjugated to an enzyme
label. The labeled specific binding molecule- analyte
complex is then immobilized onto the solid phase material,
located in the vicinity of the working electrode. The flow
cell or flowing liquid system is then rinsed with a 
solution prior to the addition of substrate solution for
the enzyme label. The enzyme label serves to convert the
substrate to a product, the extent of the reaction being
related to the amount of bound analyte present. The
depletion/production of electro-active material is
monitored at the working electrode. 
     The methods and devices described by this invention
are particularly suited for samples containing species that
cause interference in conventional assays. The flow cell
or flowing liquid system design allows removal of such
species prior to measurement.

Abstract: A method of maintaining the integrity of a sheath, in particular a cementing sheath in a well
consists in calculating or estimating variations in well pressure and/or in well temperature
and/or in the variations in in-situ stresses, which may occur during the lifetime of the well,
evaluating the stresses in the sheath as a function of the above variations, determining the
nature of the stress likely to be first in causing deterioration of the sheath, and the risk thereof,
and evaluating the influence of the elastic properties of the sheath, of the rock and/or of the
casing on this stress, in order to select a sheath which is capable of attenuating this
deterioration. The method is of particular application to oil, water, gas, and geothermal wells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the orientation of the direction of a movement using a microwave Doppler sensor, wherein said microwaves are radiated on a slant in relation to the direction of movement. As a result, radiation of stationary objects is reflected at a constantly changing angle, leading to a detectable increase or decrease in the Doppler frequency arising therefrom. The change in the Doppler frequency is determined by evaluation of the zero crossings of the Doppler signal or by correlation with a Doppler signal obtained from a measurement or from a theoretical model calculation.
