Title: Pumpable crib bag assembly and method of installation
Inventor: BOWER JOSEPH P
IPC: E21D15/02
Filed: 2011-04-07
Abstract: A pumpable inflatable crib bag assembly for supporting a mine roof which includes a generally cylindrical bag having top and bottom ends for retaining 5 and confining a liquid settable grout to be pumped into the bag. The bag further includes an inner generally cylindrical mesh reinforcement disposed within and generally coextending with the bag. This generally cylindrical mesh reinforcement is spaced from an inner 10 wall of the bag and is permeable to the liquid settable grout whereby the liquid settable grout may be pumped through a fill port into the bag to thereby fill the bag and encapsulate the mesh reinforcement. The liquid settable grout is pumped through a fill port which is 15 adjacent the top end of the bag. 2632976_1 (GHMatters) P86840.AU 7/04/11 24 - --- r- 24-- - -- -15 10 22-- 13-'-- 9

Title: Artificial walkway
Inventor: PAUL HARRIS
IPC: E01C5/20
Filed: 2011-05-05
Abstract: A two-layered walkway suitable for laying over sand or soft ground is made of plastics material. It is comprised of a lower support layer having a perforated surface and an upper layer comprised of a fused-together array of resilient mats which provide a walking surface. A sacrificial welding wire or wires running the length of the walkway may be used to hold the walkway in place. Sand in particular will inevitably find its way through the lower support layer, so periodic maintenance comprises the simple procedure of lifting the walkway or sections of it, and shaking out the sand.

Title: Irregularly shaped flapper closure and sealing surfaces
Inventor: SMITH RODDIE ROBERT
IPC: E21B34/12
Filed: 2011-05-25
Abstract: A flapper valve for a surface controlled, sub-surface safety valve has a seat and a curved flapper. The seat has a seating rim, and the curved flapper has a sealing rim and can pivot relative to the seat. The flapper's sealing rim corresponds in shape to the seating rim. Both rims have lobes disposed outside a circular perimeter. Also, the undulating edges of the rims have corresponding outcroppings and incroppings. When a flow tube moves towards or away from the flapper, the flapper's lobes protect the flapper's sealing rim as the flapper's inside surface engages the moving flow tube. Moreover, the rims can have a groove and a ridge that engage one another when the rims close. 10so 30- 35 50- ~ 64 15

Patent AU-2011344109-A1 (AU)
Title: Method for recycling deoiled water using counterflow falling-film evaporators
Inventor: BJORKLUND DANIEL P
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2011-12-12
Abstract: We provide an evaporator technology for treatment of produced water that may be deoiled water. Systems described herein utilize a vertical tube heat exchanger bundle where the brine is distributed in a falling film along the inside of the tube wall. Condensing steam causes a portion of the deoiled water to evaporate; this water vapor travels upward in a counterflow direction relative to the deoiled water. This evaporator technology provides several design advantages over the conventional vertical tube co-current flow evaporators (where the vapor flows downward with the falling film). These advantages include a minimal total installed cost (TIC) as well as offering optimal design features for water chemistry management.

Title: Molecular testing of multiple pregnancies
Inventor: LO YUK MING DENNIS
IPC: G16B40/30
Filed: 2012-02-24
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for determining zygosity of a multiple-fetus pregnancy using a biological sample taken from the mother. The fetal and maternal DNA in the sample (e.g. plasma) can be analyzed for a particular chromosomal region to identify genetic differences in the fetuses. For example, a normalized parameter for the measure of a primary or secondary allele can show variances for different chromosomal regions when fetuses are dizygotic. Such a variance can be determined relative to an expected value if the fetuses were genetically identical. Statistical methods are provided for analyzing the variation of the normalized parameters to determine fetal DNA concentration and the maternal- fetal mixed genotype at various loci. Parental genotype and haplotype information can also be used to identify inheritance of different parental haplotypes to indicate genetic differences among the fetuses.
