Patent CA-2182132-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLARKE GERALD RANDALL
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1996-07-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus extrudes a two-walled plastic pipe with inner and outer walls and an integral joining means and forms the inner wall as a continuous cylindrical sleeve that is bonded to the inner portion of the outer wall. When the outer wall is formed as a cylindrical corrugation, the inner ribs merge with the outer diameter of the inner wall and periodically during the continuous casting a mold section of greater diameter defines a bell region which ultimately becomes the joining means between two lengths of pipe though continuously manufactured according to the invention by a travelling tunnel mold. The pipe, after molding, is severed at the bell section and the lead portion of the bell section is severed away and the inner wall of the bell portion is also cut away so that an integral bell to a fixed length of corrugated two-walled pipe is formed.

Title: Ester synthesis
Inventor: ATKINS MARTIN PHILIP
IPC: C07C69/14
Filed: 1996-08-01
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of lower aliphatic esters by reacting a lower olefin with a saturated lower aliphatic mono-carboxylic acid in the vapour phase in the presence of a heteropolyacid catalyst characterised in that an amount of water in the range from 1-10 mole % based on the total of the olefin, aliphatic mono-carboxylic acid and water is added to the reaction mixture during the reaction. The presence of water enhances the yield of the desired ester. The reaction mixture may optionally contain a di-ether to minimise the by-products.      The process is particularly suitable for producing ethyl acetate from ethylene and acetic acid in the presence of water.
Patent CA-2183131-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for measuring the resistivity of underground formations
Inventor: MINERBO GERALD NELSON
IPC: G01V3/20
Filed: 1996-08-12
Abstract: A method for measuring formation resistivity uses a tool including a central current electrode and a series of voltage electrodes arranged in pairs on either side of the current electrode. A series of measurements is made using the current electrode with different numbers of pairs of voltage electrodes maintained at a predetermined voltage so as to allow resistivity in the formation to be determined with different depths of investigation. In this manner these measurements are focused and are relatively unaffected by the borehole or by adjacent layers in the formation.  The central current electrode is segmented azimuthally into a series of electrodes, and the current flowing out of each azimuthal segment is measured separately. This can yield resistivity images of the formation surrounding the borehole. The azimuthal imaging capability can be used for stratigraphic or lithologic analysis of the formation and to detect fractures in the rock. The three-dimensional imaging capability can be used in deviated wells or horizontal wells to detect asymmetric invasion, or to locate a bed boundary close to the borehole.

Title: Chemical modification of shaped hydrogels in non-aqueous medium
Inventor: GLASSER WOLFGANG G
IPC: C08B3/00
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: A method is described for the chemical modification of pre-shaped hydrogels in non-aqueous medium. The conditions permit the reaction of highly expanded, porous hydrogel particles, such as spherical beads, using pseudo homogeneous reaction conditions in the absence of water. The method involves a three step procedure in which the porous gels are solvent exchanged into a water-free solvent (step 1) with minimal change in gel dimension and porosity; followed by reaction under non-aqueous condition (step 2); and followed by solvent exchange into water (step 3). Many different types of reactions requiring non-aqueous conditions may be carried out using these conditions. The method has particularly been demonstrated for crosslinking fluorinating beads, and for esterifying beads in a reaction involving multifunctional free carboxylic acids in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC).
