Abstract: A method for controlling any increase in Mooney viscosity during aging of siloxane-functionalized polymers in-cludes the step of adding a viscosity stabilizing effective amount of a viscosity stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of alkyl alkoxysilanes of the structural formula R1n Si(OR2)4-n wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of C1 to C20 alkyl, C4 to C10 cycloalkyl, or C5 to C20 aromatic groups, wherein R2 may be the same as or different from R1 and is selected from the group consisting of C1 to C20 alkyl, C4 to C10 cycloalkyl, or C5 to C20 aromatic groups, and wherein n is an integer from 1 to 3. The method provides for the stabilization of Mooney viscosity of siloxane-functionalized polymers at any given level upon aging. The viscosity stabilizing agents react with the siloxane-functionalized polymers during hydrolysis of the siloxane end groups to form moisture stabilized polymers.

Abstract: A submersible centrifugal pump for downhole pumping of methane-saturated water from wells drilled in coal formations, has an electric motor-driven vertical shaft having centrifugal impellers distributed therealong, each impeller being located in a stationary diffuser within the pump wall to form a multi-stage pump. A concentric shroud is located at the lower portion of the pump wall. It is sealed with the pump wall such that all fluid to be pumped must enter holes near the top of the shroud and travel downward through an annulus to the pump inlet. A charge impeller and a solids grinder are located at the lower end of the pump central shaft. The multi-stage centrifugal pump is located above the solids grinder and includes multiple compression stages of diminishing volume as the methane and fluid mixture travels upward through the pump. Another charge impeller may be located at the upper end of the shaft at the outlet pipe. Pressure equalization vents allow fluid flow from the fourth centrifugal stage to the pump-shroud annulus to maintain pump prime. Centrifugal impellers, each having a hub extending upward and downward along the length of the driving shaft such as to rest upon each other in turn, while avoiding contact with the stationary diffusers.

Title: Screening using biological target molecules with metal-ion binding sites
Inventor: ELLING CHRISTIAN E
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a molecular approach for rapidly and selectively identifying small organic molecule ligands, i.e. compounds, that  are capable of interacting with and binding to specific sites on biological target molecules. The methods of the present invention are applicable to any  biological target molecule that has or can be manipulated to have a metal io n binding site. A very interesting group of molecules are membrane proteins su ch as 7TM transmembrane proteins. The methods described herein make it possible  to construct and screen libraries of compounds specifically directed against  predetermined epitopes on the biological target molecules. The compounds are  initially constructed to be bi-functional, i.e. having both a metal ion binding moiety enabling them to bind to a natural or artificial metal ion binding site, and a variable moiety, which is varied chemically to probe for  interactions with specific parts of the biological target adjacent to the metal ion binding site. Compounds may subsequently be further modified to bi nd to the unmodified biological target molecule without help of the bridging metal ion.
