Title: Smart shuttles to complete oil and gas wells
Inventor: VAIL WILLIAM BANNING III
IPC: E21B23/01
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: Smart shuttles are used to complete oil and gas wells.  Following drilling operations into a geological formation, a steel pipe is disposed in the wellbore. The steel pipe may be a standard casing installed into the wellbore using typical industry practices. Alternatively, the steel pipe may be a drill string attached to a rotary drill bit that is to remain in the wellbore following completion during so-called "one-pass drilling operations". Using typical procedures in the industry, the well is "completed" by placing into the steel pipe various standard completion devices, many of which are conveyed into place using the drilling rig. Instead, with this invention, smart shuttles are used to convey into the steel pipe the various smart completion devices necessary to complete the oil and gas well. Smart shuttles may be attached to a wireline, to a coiled tubing, or to a wireline installed within coiled tubing. Of particular interest is a wireline conveyed smart shuttle that possesses an electrically operated internal pump that pumps fluid from below the shuttle, to above the shuttle, that in turn causes the smart shuttle to "pump itself down" and into a horizontal wellbore. Similar comments apply to coiled tubing conveyed smart shuttles.   The smart shuttles therefore allow the drilling rig to be used for its most fundamental purpose: to drill holes into the earth. Using smart shuttles reduces the cost, complexity, and the number of steps to drill and complete oil and gas wells.

Title: Parameterized interactive control of multiple wave table sound generation for video games and other applications
Inventor: PHILLIPSEN JAMES
IPC: A63F13/10
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: In the context of a video game, multimedia presentation or other application, multiple sound sample files are read out simultaneously arid mixed together.  The volumes and/or pitches of the ware tables are parameterized to allow a single parameter (e.g., power, intensity, etc.) to simultaneously control the multiple read out processes. The control parameter may be, for example, responsive to a user-manipulable control, such as a joystick. Sound effects produced using this technique are rich and interesting, and the user feels as if he or she is directly controlling the effect.

Patent CA-2387313-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SUEOKA KAZUHIKO
IPC: B29C49/42
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: A hollow article made of a thermoplastic resin and having both end portions whose wall thickness changes multidirectionally with high accuracy. The hollow article is formed by bringing a cavity of a drawing unit into contact with an outlet gap of an annular orifice nozzle (including an upwardly and downwardly movable core). A nozzle mouthpiece concentrically surrounds the core to form the outlet gap (having a variable gap width).      Thermoplastic resin is injected into the cavity through the outlet gap to form one end portion. A tubular parison is drawn and formed while moving the drawing unit apart from the annular orifice. The tubular parison is blow-molded to form the hollow article body. The other end of the hollow article is injection-molded to the desired shape (such as a tri-port CV-joint boot for use in automobiles).

Inventor: GRILLER DAVID
IPC: A61K33/243
Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of cancer with compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease. Endo-exonuclease has been shown to be necessary for the repair of damaged DNA.  Compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease have been shown to be particularly effective for treating cancer when used in combination with drugs that induce DNA breaks such as cisplatin and mitomycin C. These compounds have a synergistic effect when used in combination for inhibiting tumour growth. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting tumour growth comprising a compound that inhibits endo-exonuclease activity. These pharmaceutical compositions preferably include compounds that induce DNA breaks. The invention includes methods of treating cancer with these pharmaceutical compositions and uses of these compositions to treat cancer. The preferred compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease have low toxicity. One such compound is pentamidine. The invention also includes a method for diagnosing cancer and monitoring its progression. This aspect of the invention involves isolating serum from a patient; measuring the concentration of endo-exonuclease in said serum and determining whether said concentration is above a predetermined mean.

Title: Stabilized ascorbic acid solutions; use thereof; process for their obtention; and formulations comprising the same
Inventor: VIVIER GHISLAIN
IPC: A61K36/752
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: This invention relates to improved solutions comprising ascorbic acid (vitam in C). These solutions may comprise as much as 15% ascorbic acid; they are stab le for at least two years, without no significant development of yellowish coloration and no substantial (not more than 10%) degradation of the vitamin . The process involves sequential additions of ascorbic acid and ethoxydiglyco l to a first solution of vitamin in water, which are followed by addition of propylene glycol and fragrances. The high stirring speed that occurs during the additions favorises a process of micronisation. Mild heating is used to achieve ascorbic acid concentrations equivalent to about 6% in 10% water or higher.
