Patent CA-2649404-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALI ABID
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: Data can be protected at a production server in a virtually continuous fashion, without necessarily imposing severe constraints on the source application(s). For example, a production server can create an application-consistent backup of one or more volumes, the backups corresponding to a first instance in time. A volume filter driver can monitor data changes using an in-memory bitmap, while a log file and/or update sequence number journal can keep track of which files have been modified. The volume updates are also consistent for an instance (later) in time. At the next replication cycle, such as every few minutes (however configured), the volume filter driver passes each in-memory bitmap to the physical disk on the production server. The production server then sends the updates to the backup server, which thus stores application-consistent backups for the volume for multiple instances of time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wetness detector system that rapidly detects the presence of wetness due to a liquid leak in a system. The wetness detector system contains a reusable wetness sensor that is able to accurately detect the presence of wetness and, in the case of an extracorporeal blood treatment, the presence of blood. The wetness detector system can quickly alert both a user and medical personnel that a liquid leak has been detected in a treatment system and, if necessary, halt the removal of blood from the patient or the flow of fluid through a liquid line. The wetness detector system can monitor a number of wetness sensors simultaneously, which would, for example, eliminate the need for medical personnel to continuously inspect numerous patients visually for potentially fatal blood leaks due to needle dislodgement during an extracorporeal blood treatment.

Title: Delaying swelling in a downhole packer element
Inventor: O'MALLEY EDWARD J
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2007-07-05
Abstract: A swelling element rate regulation technique and product features an outer coating on a core of an element. The core is reactive to hydrocarbons or water depending on how it is configured. The surrounding coating is preferably formed of fine ground particles of a non-swelling polymer mixed in a solvent such as methyl-ethyl-ketone that is applied in a thin layer to the core exterior. This uncured outer layer is then contacted by a patterned surface. The patterned surface is pressed firmly against the uncured polymer/solvent mixture and transfers an inverse of the pattern to the surface of the coating. As pressure is applied, heat may also be applied to cure the coating. The resulting pattern is designed such that openings in the coating are created that regulate infiltration of water or other fluids through it and, as a result, the rate of swelling in the wellbore. Swell rate in governed in part by the ratio of the exposed area of the swelling compound to the total volume of the swelling compound. The smaller this ratio, the slower the rate of swell. The pattern created in the non-swelling layer may also provide limited mechanical restraint of the swelling element, further slowing the process.

Filed: 2009-08-05
Abstract: In the present system, a renewable energy power plant, the buoyancy of a lighter-than-air gas is transferred to mechanical energy, in the form of reciprocation of a piston.  This is accomplished by employing a structurally hollow piston, such that said gas may circulate through rod thereof to head, thereby exerting pressure against inner face of the latter and powering piston upstroke.  Thereupon, an outlet in piston head is actuated, such that said lighter-than-air gas is released into a reservoir, allowing piston to descend under gravitational influence. The gas circulates cyclically from reservoir to piston in a closed system, enabling sustained compressor operation of the latter, and thus renewable energy means.
