Title: Retrieving objects from wells
Inventor: APPLETON ROBERT PATRICK
IPC: E21B31/08
Filed: 1983-12-07
Granted: 1986-08-07
Abstract: A wash over type down hole retrieving device or fishing tool is described, consisting of a hollow cylindrical body having an open lower end. The body has concentric inner and outer walls, defining an annular space in which an annular piston can force down an annular sleeve of a malleable alloy having downwardly extending finger-like formations. The inside of the lower end of the outer wall is of cupped configuration effective to deflect the fingers inwards and over the open end of the body so to trap and retain an object for retrieval. The annular piston is forced down hydraulically by dropping a diverter ball valve. Cutting teeth are optionally provided on the outer periphery of the lower end of the outer wall, on a detachable shoe.

Title: Anaesthesia control system
Inventor: MANTZARIDIS HARALAMBOS
IPC: A61B5/11
Filed: 1997-09-10
Granted: 2001-09-13
Abstract: An anaesthesia control system and a method of calculating an index representative of the depth of anaesthesia is disclosed. The method comprises subjecting a patient to a repetitive audio stimulus and monitoring and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) produced by the patient and then recording these auditory evoked potentials using EEG recording means and providing a signal corresponding to the coarseness of the monitored AEP signal and using this signal as an index indicative of anaesthetic depth. The raw AEP signal is divided into a series of sweeps and each sweep is synchronized with the repetitive audio stimulus and sweeps are recorded in sequence to produce a time averaged sweep from which the anaesthetic index is calculated. The anaesthetic index is constantly updated by repeatedly conducting a successive series of sweeps. The system and index signal can be used as part of an anaesthesia control system for regulating the supply of anaesthetic to the patient to maintain the anaesthetic index at a predetermined level.

Title: Loop formation in on-machine-seamed press fabrics using unique yarns
Inventor: DAVENPORT FRANCIS L
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 1990-01-05
Granted: 1991-05-30
Abstract: A press fabric, for use on papermaking and similar machines, is of the open-ended variety, and has loops at each end enabling it to be closed into endless form during installation on the machine by means of a pin seam. The machine-direction (MD) yarns 1, from which the loops are formed during the flat or endless weaving of the fabric, are coated multifilaments. The coating 3, either permanent, semi-permanent, or soluble, gives the multifilament 2 a monofilament-like structure, enabling good loop formation and stability. The use of multifilament yarn provides a fabric having improved elasticity in the machine direction, and a greater degree of compressibility, following the removal of a soluble coating material, than can be obtained using monofilament yarn.
