Title: Seismic hydraulic-fracture monitoring technology (variants)
Inventor: THIERCELIN MARC JEAN
IPC: G01V1/40
Filed: 2006-09-27
Abstract: The invention relates to oil-gas engineering, in particular to maintaining wells in the oil-gas industry and, more specifically the hydraulic fracturing seismic monitoring. A first method is carried out when a pulse amplitude is sufficient for opening a strike-slip fractures around a crack, wherein said crack is detectable with the aid of traditional means for passively recording seismic waves produced by acoustical events related to the opening of strike-slip fractures and by interpreting the position of the thus obtained events in the form of the events adjacent to the crack. A second method is carried out by using a sharp difference of temporal sequences of a pressure pulse generated in the well and microearthquakes produced around a crack and consists in processing data received from seismic receivers in such a way that a signal similar to the well pressure pulse is separated, in locating the source of said pulse by analysing the times of the arrival thereof to the receivers and in identifying said pulse source with the area directly adjacent thereto.

Title: Adenoviral expression vectors
Inventor: MAYALL TIMOTHY T
IPC: C12N15/861
Filed: 2006-12-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant adenovirus vector characterized by the partial or total deletion of adenoviral E2B function and having an expression cassette containing a heterologous sequence encoding a protein of interest inserted into the E1 region. Such vectors are designed to reduce or eliminate the occurance of replication competent adenovirus contamination. Additionally, the expression cassette of the vector may contain one or more regulatory elements capable of increasing the expression of the heterologous sequence and/or reducing the expression of viral proteins. Such a reduction in expression of viral proteins reduces the cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of the adenovirus vectors when administered in vivo. Transformed production host cells and a method of producing recombinant proteins and gene therapy also are included within the scope of this invention.

Abstract: Provided herein are small diameter inlays for correcting vision impairments by altering the shape of the anterior corneal surface. In an embodiment, inlays having diameters smaller than the pupil are provided for correcting presbyopia. To provide near vision, an inlay is implanted centrally in the cornea to induce an "effective" zone on the anterior corneal surface, within which diopter power is increased. Distance vision is provided by a region of the cornea peripheral to the "effect" zone. In another embodiment, small diameter inlays are provided that induce effective optical zones on the anterior corneal surface that are much larger in diameter than the inlays. The increase in the effective optical zone, due at least in part to a draping effect, allows an inlay to produce a much larger clinical effect on a patient's vision than the diameter of the inlay.

Title: A particle counting and dna uptake system and method for detection, assessment and further analysis of threats due to nebulized biological agents
Inventor: GOETZE SIMON
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 2006-07-21
Abstract: The Nebulized Airborne Biohazard Stage Alert (NABSA) is a method utilizing an optical particle counter in conjunction with a fluorometer as triggers to detect and assess potential biohazard threats infused into surrounding air. In the first stage an optical particle counter is constantly passing sampled air in front of an energy source, in turn scattering light. This scattered light is evaluated to establish if the particles are above one micrometer in concentrations, and thus potentially an aerosolized threat. Such detection triggers the secondary stage in which the sample particles are tested for viability via processing through a dye with fluorescent properties affected when bonded with an entity universally found in all biological substances and a UV light source. The detection of concentrations of oversized, viable particles triggers the third stage to compare a sample of the particles to known biowarfare agents to delineate the specific agent species.
