Title: An efficient method for inversion of geophysical data
Inventor: HINKLEY DAVID L
IPC: G01V3/18
Filed: 2009-01-26
Granted: 2013-09-05
Abstract: A method for efficient inversion of measured geophysical data from a subsurface region to prospect for hydrocarbons. Gathers of measured data (40) are encoded (60) using a set of non-equivalent encoding functions (30). Then all data records in each encoded gather that correspond to a single receiver are summed (60), repeating for each receiver to generate a simultaneous encoded gather (80). The method employs iterative, local optimization of a cost function to invert the encoded gathers of simultaneous source data. An adjoint method is used to calculate the gradients of the cost function needed for the local optimization process (100). The inverted data yields a physical properties model (110) of the subsurface region that, after iterative updating, can indicate presence of accumulations of hydrocarbons.

Title: Rotary distribution apparatus incorporating interstage pumps
Inventor: JENSEN CRAIG
IPC: B01D15/18
Filed: 2009-03-05
Granted: 2013-05-23
Abstract: The invention concerns a rotary distribution apparatus (30) for distributing process liquids, typically in ion exchange and chromatographic separation in the processing of sugar juice. The apparatus includes a core (2) into which fixed process liquid supply pipes (3) extend and annular fluid distribution chambers defined between the core and an outer shell (4) which rotates around the core. Rotating pipes (5) are provided which rotate with the shell and which are connected between selected distribution chambers and selected ports in a rotating indexing disc (6) which rotates, with the shell, relative to a stationary indexing disc (7). The arrangement is such that as the rotating disc rotates, different streams of process liquid streams fed to the rotating disc through the rotating pipes are introduced to fixed ports in the stationary disc. The latter ports are arranged to feed the streams selectively to selected destinations. According to the invention interstage pumps operating to pump the process liquids are mounted to rotate about the core with the rotating pipes and the rotating indexing disc. This leads to a particularly simple design compared to conventional simulated moving bed configurations with fixed pumps.

Title: Protective gel based on chitosan and oxidized polysaccharide
Inventor: GONZALEZ MARIA NIEVES
IPC: A61K31/718
Filed: 2009-04-23
Granted: 2014-07-10
Abstract: Bodily tissue and structures may be protected using a fluid layer containing a mixture of chitosan and oxidized polysaccharide. The mixture forms a protective gel layer via in situ crosslinking. Compared to crosslinking using a low molecular weight aldehyde such as glutaraldehyde or genipin, oxidized polysaccharides appear to provide faster gelation while avoiding the use of potentially less bioacceptable low molecular weight aldehydes.

Title: Optical fibre coupling device and method
Inventor: LEEMAN SAM
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2009-06-25
Granted: 2013-10-10
Abstract: An optical fibre coupling device and a method are disclosed. The optical fibre coupling device comprises a first patch strip comprising a first plurality of optical fibre connectors arranged along a face of the first patch strip and a second patch strip comprising a second plurality of optical fibre connectors arranged along a face of the second patch strip, the first and second patch strips being in a stacked arrangement where the second plurality of optical fibre connectors is offset from the first plurality of optical fibre connectors in a first and a second direction transverse to a stacking direction. Such offsetting improves access to the individual optical fibre connectors. This improved access assists an operative when managing or maintaining optical fibre connections and helps to reduce the likelihood of fatigue or failure since adjacent optical fibre connections are undisturbed during this process and the optical fibre connections may be easily accessed without needing to move or manipulate adjacent patch strips.

Title: Process and apparatus for precipitating cationic metal hydroxides and the recovery of sulfuric acid from acidic solutions
Inventor: BLUNN ADAM JUSTIN
IPC: C25B9/23
Filed: 2010-01-20
Granted: 2013-06-27
Abstract: An electric current is passed through an acidic solution containing one or more soluble metal salts in an electrolytic cell divided by an anion exchange membrane. The acidic solution is fed into the cathode compartment whereby the passage of electric current at sufficient voltage causes the generation of hydrogen at the cathode. This gives rise to a localized very highly polarized region at the cathode resulting in a localized effective high relative pH. This causes the metal cation species to precipitate as a hydroxide (or oxide) species and electroadsorption/electrocoagulation causes the finely precipitated hydroxide (or oxide) species to adhere to the cathode. Electrodialytic transport of the liberated acid anions across the anion exchange membrane selectively removes the acid anions. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are formed by hydrolysis as the counter-reaction at the anode. Hydrogen ions combine with the anions to regenerate sulfuric acid. This enables the recovery of cationic metal species within a solution in which the bulk pH would not ordinarily allow hydroxide formation, while simultaneously regenerating sulfuric acid. The anion exchange membrane keeps the acid anion separate from the metal and acid solution so as to enable the concentration and recovery of sulfuric acid.
