Title: Zinc salt compositions for the prevention of mucosal irritation from spermicides and microbicides
Inventor: MODAK SHANTA M
IPC: A61K8/27
Filed: 2003-02-07
Granted: 2011-11-01
Abstract: The addition of low concentrations of combinations of water-soluble organic salts of zinc to gels, creams, lotions or ointments can increase the ability of these products to reduce or prevent exogenous irritants from causing irritation of the underlying substrate. The addition of low concentrations of combinations of water-soluble organic zinc salts to these gels, creams, lotions or ointments also can reduce the irritation of skin or mucous membranes caused by the addition of potentially-irritating substances such as spermicides, microbicides, fungicides or other therapeutic agents to the gel, cream, lotion or ointment. The advantages of this anti-irritant approach over others, which generally employ high concentrations of single zinc salts, are the reduced potential for zinc toxicity, the reduced potential for toxicity related to zinc itself, and the preservation of the desirable biological properties of potentially-irritating therapeutic substances added to the gel, cream, lotion or ointment.

Abstract: A one-trip through tubing window milling system that prevents a downhole motor from undesirably turning during anchoring of a whipstock is disclosed. The whipstock is delivery with the mill and downhole motor (22) in a downhole assembly which further includes MWD equipment for proper whipstock orientation. The entire assembly is run through tubing and the MWD equipment (14) orients the whipstock (28). A motor lock (24) prevents the downhole motor (22) from turning as fluid pressure is applied to properly anchor the whipstock below the production tubing. The motor lock (24) is defeated and the milling commenced using the downhole motor. At the conclusion of the window milling, the bottom hole assembly, including the mill, is removed and a retrieving tool (86) releases the whipstock for retrieval through the production tubing (30).

IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2003-04-03
Granted: 2008-06-17
Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining movement mode in a drill string (32).  The method includes measuring lateral acceleration of the drill string, determining lateral position of the drill string from the acceleration measurements, and determining mode from the position with respect to time.  Also disclosed is a method including measuring drill string acceleration along at least one direction, spectrally analyzing the acceleration, and determining existence of a particular mode from the spectral analysis. Also disclosed is a method for determining destructive torque on a BHA (42) including measuring angular acceleration at least at one location along the BHA, and comparing the acceleration to a selected threshold. The threshold relates to a moment of inertia of components of the BHA and a maximum torque applicable to threaded connections between BHA components. A warning is generated when acceleration exceeds the threshold.

Title: Call establishment based on presence
Inventor: SELIGMANN DOREE DUNCAN
IPC: H04M3/527
Filed: 2006-01-19
Granted: 2012-09-04
Abstract: An apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable a caller to specify a condition of availability for a return call when the caller is unable to reach the called user. A condition might indicate a time interval in which the caller is willing to accept a return call, a location, or some other constraints. In the illustrative embodiments, when a caller places a call and is unable to reach the called user, the caller is prompted via an interactive voice response (IVR) system for one or more conditions of availability for a return call. As soon as the called user's terminal becomes available, a software application checks whether the condition of availability is satisfied, and if so, establishes a call between the caller's terminal and the called user's terminal.
