Title: Use of a high purity imidazoline based amphoacetate surfactant as foaming agent in oil wells.
Inventor: DINO DAVID JOSEPH
IPC: C09K8/594
Filed: 1996-05-20
Abstract: Increased foam quality and resistance to hydrocarbon defoaming for foams used in well boring and stimulation processes as well as secondary and tertiary oil recovery is obtained using imidazoline-based amphoacetates of higher purity, containing essentially negligible amounts of unalkylated amido amines, lower amounts of glycolic acid salts and monochloroacetate salts.

Title: Two-stage pivoting of aircraft door
Inventor: DE HAAN FRANS WILLEM
IPC: B64C1/14
Filed: 1983-10-12
Granted: 1986-06-11
Abstract: Aircraft door of the type which during the flight is pressed all around against the door case under influence of the cabin pressure. During opening and closing the door moves by means of a hinge mechanism with two mutually parallel rotational axes and an intermediate hinge part, one of the rotational axis being connected to the door and the other being connected to the door case. When the door is opened during a first motion phase the intermediate hinge part carries out a rotational movement around the rotational axis connected to the door case whereby simultaneously the angle between the door and the intermediate hinge part is decreased, and thereafter in a second motion phase the intermediate hinge part carries out a rotational movement in the opposite direction around the rotational axis connected to the door case. When the door is closed these movements are carried out with reversed rotational directions and in reverse order. A hydraulic or mechanical transmission mechanism is present in the hinge construction coupled with the two rotational axes for coordinating the rotation around both rotational axes in the first motion phase.

Title: Luggage case
Inventor: PEDLAR ROGER
IPC: A45C13/00
Filed: 1992-02-26
Granted: 1996-06-19
Abstract: Luggage cases, especially if they are large and bulky, usually have wheels and glides or legs to hold the case upright when loaded and permit the case to be pulled or wheeled. These same large cases present a large volume-an advantage when actually being used to carry clothing. However, this large volume is a disadvantage during packaging, storage and shipping after manufacture, such as between the factory and the store where it is sold. This large volume is a disadvantage also when the case is being stored by the owner between trips. Shown here is a case (10) with easily removable wheels (11) and feet (13). These external fittings attach to the outside of the luggage shell and have a projection (92) which extends to an aperture (90) in the wall of the case shell to the inside of the case. A manually releasable latch (96), such as a clip, engages and disengages this projection from the inside of the case to mount the wheel and leg to the outside of the case. This attaching system also acts as an anchoring device (114) for the straps (116) normally used to hold and arrange clothing when packed inside the assembled case. This external fitment system is especially useful when the two shells (12) and (14) of the case are stored one within the other during shipping by the manufacturer and storage by the consumer.

Abstract: A method of labelling molecules which includes providing in a common medium a label molecule, a marker ligand able to bind a member of a specific binding pair, such as an antigen, a sbp member, an enzyme able to catalyse binding of the label molecule to other molecules, the enzyme being associated with the marker ligand; causing or allowing binding of the marker ligand to the sbp member; and causing or allowing binding of the label molecule to other molecules in the vicinity of the marker ligand bound to the sbp member. The marker ligand may be an antibody or any specific binding molecule, such as a chemokine or cytokine. A complementary member of the specific binding pair may be included, e.g. an antibody, or a diverse population of such sbp members, e.g. antibodies, may be included within which those which bind the counterpart sbp member, e.g. antigen, may be labelled and subsequently isolated for manipulation and/or use. Suitable labels include biotin-tyramine with signal transfer being catalysed by hydrogen peroxidase. Cells, virus particles and other moieties may be labelled, for identification or obtention of proteins which interact or are in close proximity with a particular sbp member, or of cells of interest, or for enhancement of labelling, e.g. for cell sorting.
