Title: Reverse sliding seal for expandable tubular connections
Inventor: HASHEM GHAZI J
IPC: F16L15/08
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: An expandable threaded connection between segments of expandable tubulars that provides a high bearing pressure seal at a specific area along the pin and box members is disclosed. The invention utilizes a "groove" in a surface of the box member and a corresponding "rib" on the pin nose. The radial expansion of the tubulars causes the pin to become shorter in length, thereby causing the pin nose to retract from the back of the box member. As the pin nose retracts, an axial gap is formed between the pin elements of the mating tubulars.

IPC: C08J7/043
Filed: 2013-11-06
Abstract: A carrier film of thermoplastic polyester has releasable metal adhesive properties suitable for a metal transfer in which the polyester film is metalized and the metal layer is subsequently transferred to a permanent adhesive-coated substrate. The metal layer is in direct contact with the polyester carrier film and no intermediate release layer is present. Desired metal adhesion is provided by dispersing a suitable surfactant, and optionally, a hydrocarbon wax, uniformly into the polyester film. Surfactant on the outer surface of the carrier film modifies metal adhesion to the polyester such that the metal can be removed in a metal transfer operation.

Abstract: Because neighboring frames may affect how a current frame is perceived, we examine different neighborhoods of the current frame and select a neighborhood that impacts the perceived temporal distortion (i.e., when frames are viewed continuously) of the current frame most significantly. Based on spatial distortion (i.e., when a frame is viewed independently of other frames in a video sequence) of frames in the selected neighborhood, we can estimate initial temporal distortion. To refine the initial temporal distortion, we also consider the distribution of distortion in the selected neighborhood, for example, the distance between the current frame and a closest frame with large distortion, or whether distortion occurs in consecutive frames.

Abstract: A wireless video camera that permits bookmarking of objects in the surrounding environment of the camera. When a remote user selects to see (via streaming video) a previously bookmarked object, the camera determines the appropriate camera viewing parameter to replicate the bookmarked view of the object. To account for an intervening change in position of the camera, the camera may compute any change in position of the camera, and adjust the camera viewing parameters for the bookmarked view to compensate for the camera's updated position so that the original bookmarked view of the object can be replicated. Also, in a streaming video mode where the camera is streaming video to the remote user, the remote user can use a still image from the camera to control the remote camera.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification, isolation, expansion and characterization of a specific type of multipotentadult cardiac stem cell. These adult stem cells are characterised in that they naturally express a specific pattern of markers, which can be used to assist with their isolation and expansion. In particular, the cells express SOX17 and GATA4, but do not express Oct4, Nanog, c-kitand telomerase reverse transcriptase. These cells areable to differentiate into one or more of the following cell types: adipocytes, osteocytes, endothelial cells and/or smooth muscle cells. They also display an unprecedented capacity for immunoregulation as well as providing, activating and/or inducing repair of damaged cardiac tissue.
