Title: Method for estimating the number of nuclei of a preselected isotope in a molecular species from an nmr spectrum
Inventor: ROSS ALFRED
IPC: G01R33/46
Filed: 2004-10-12
Abstract: A method for estimating the number of nuclei of a preselected isotope in a molecular species starts with an NMR spectrum of a sample containing said molecular species as a predominant substance, said NMR spectrum comprising a plurality of signal peaks corresponding to said nuclei. By applying inclusion and ordering criteria one obtains a set of ordered signal peaks, the integration of which leads to a set of ordered integrals. Nested outer and inner iteration cycles are carried out, wherein for each cycle a trial number of nuclei is assigned to one of said ordered integrals whilst the other ordered integrals are resealed accordingly and rounded to the next integer value, so as to yield a candidate total number of nuclei. An estimated total number of nuclei is obtained by taking the lowest one from the plurality of candidate total numbers of nuclei that have the highest number of occurrences.

Title: Sliding airbox for a vehicle
Inventor: BERNIER DANY
IPC: F16M7/00
Filed: 2005-01-21
Abstract: A vehicle, such as a snowmobile, includes an engine with one or more air intakes for receiving air into the engine and an airbox for directing air into the air intakes. The airbox slides to facilitate installation and removal of the airbox from the engine compartment, which thus economizes time and cost both for vehicle assembly and maintenance. The sliding airbox also eliminates the need for a gap between the fuel tank and the airbox, allowing the fuel tank to be moved forward, thus improving mass centralization of the vehicle. The sliding airbox has a rectangular slot which slides onto a rectangular plate on an intake adapter. The intake adapter has a flexible tubular connection for each cylinder of the engine which are secured to each air intake with a hose clamp. The air intake usually includes an air metering device such as a carburetor or throttle body.

Title: Adjustable downhole tool
Inventor: RUSSELL MARK ALEXANDER
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2005-01-25
Abstract: An adjustable down-hole tool, for example a drill-string stabiliser (10), comprises a body (12) having a through bore (16). A mandrel (18) is rotationally fixed but axially movable in the body, the mandrel being movable by fluid pressure in the tool against the action of a first return spring (44) between a first, deactivated position and a second activated position. A sleeve (66) is between shoulders (68, 69) on the body and mandrel. Castellations (l8a,b, 69a,b) are on the body and facing edge or edges of the sleeve so that, when the castellations are in phase, the mandrel is prevented from travelling from said first to second position, and when they are out of phase they interdigitate and the mandrel is not prevented from travelling from said first to second position. A control piston (36) is slidable in the mandrel, being movable by fluid pressure in the tool against the action of a second return spring (50). The piston is axially slidable with respect to the mandrel. A circumferential barrel cam (56) is defined on the piston, a cam follower (58) being disposed in the mandrel but within the confines of the barrel cam so that axial movement of the piston with respect to the mandrel results in corresponding rotation of the piston with respect to the mandrel. Gears (61) in the barrel transmit rotation of the piston to the sleeve to move the sleeve between said activated and deactivated positions.

Abstract: A method for stereoselective chemical synthesis, includes the steps of: (A) reacting a nucleophile and a chiral or prochiral cyclic substrate, said substrate comprising a carbocycle or a heterocycle having a reactive center susceptible to nucleophilic attack by the nucleophile, in the presence of a chiral non-racemic catalyst to produce a product mixture comprising a stereoisomerically enriched product wherein the product mixture further comprises a catalyst residue, at least a portion of the catalyst residue is in a first oxidation state, and the catalyst residue in the first oxidation state is active in catalyzing degradation of the stereoisomerically enriched product, and (B) chemically or electrochemically changing the oxidation state of the catalyst residue form the first oxidation state to a second oxidation state, wherein catalyst residue in the second oxidation state is less active in catalyzing degradation of the stereoisomerically enriched product than is catalyst residue in the first oxidation state. The method reduces erosion of the chiral purity of the stereoisomerically enriched product and reduces the chemical transformation to side products of the stereoisomerically enriched product and co-product(s). The deactivated catalyst is recoverable and recyclable.
