Title: Method and pump apparatus for removing liquids from wells
Inventor: LIKNES ALVIN
IPC: E21B43/38
Filed: 2004-08-24
Abstract: A pump apparatus for removing formation fluids from a gas includes a pump body containing first and second chambers separated by a narrow axial bore, a gas vent from the first chamber, a fluid inlet port to the second chamber and a fluid discharge port from the second chamber. A hydraulic head is attached to the pump body and a displacement plunger extends from the hydraulic head through the axial bore. A hydraulic circuit attached to the head is operated by a plunger reciprocating in the axial bore.  Gas is vented through a vent passage in the plunger from the second to the first chamber and then through the gas vent. A conduit with a check valve connected to the fluid discharge port discharges fluid in one direction from the second chamber to a lift tube.    Alternatively, the first and second chambers are omitted and an axial bore extends the length of the pump body.

Patent CA-2484644-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOONEY BRIAN B
IPC: B09C1/08
Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: A method is provided for the remediation of contaminants in soil and groundwater. Via the injection of an aqueous energetic oxidant solution containing free radicals, oxidative conditions can be created within or ahead of a contaminant plume. Some contaminants may be remediated directly by reaction with the free radicals. Additionally and more importantly, the free radicals create an oxidative condition whereby native or injected materials, especially metals, are converted to peroxides. These peroxides provide a long-term oxygen reservoir, releasing oxygen relatively slowly over time. The oxygen can enhance microbial metabolism to remediate contaminants, can react with contaminant metals either to form immobile precipitants or to mobilize other metals to permit remediation through leaching techniques. Various injection strategies for injecting the energetic oxidant solution are also disclosed.

Title: Methods and apparatus for folding sheet material
Inventor: HOWE MICHAEL G
IPC: B65H19/28
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for folding pliable sheet material wherein the sheet material is wound on a mandrel (13) to form a roll which subsequently is stripped off the mandrel and transferred to a pleating station (2) at which successive creases are formed in the roll to produce a pleated packet. During the winding of the sheet material the latter is adhered to the mandrel by the application of negative air pressure to the material via the mandrel.  Following the formation of the roll, the application of negative air pressure is discontinued and positive air pressure is applied to the interior of the roll so as to facilitate stripping of the roll from the mandrel.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de production d'un hydrocarbure chloré substitué avec un groupe aromatique. Ce procédé consiste à agiter un mélange d'un alcool tertiaire correspondant tel que 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-2-propyle)benzène et d'un acide hydrochlorique, puis à mettre la phase organique résultante en contact avec un gaz chlorique hydrogène. Cette invention concerne aussi un procédé de purification d'un mélange contenant un hydrocarbure chloré produit par la réaction d'une solution aqueuse d'un hypochlorite métallique avec un acide protonique. Ce procédé consiste à faire réagir ce mélange avec une solution aqueuse alcaline de façon à transformer ainsi l'hydrocarbure chloré en un composé alcool, suivi d'une séparation solide-liquide, puis à chlorer à nouveau le composant solide résultant avec un acide hydrochlorique. Le premier procédé permet de produire un hydrocarbure chloré substitué avec un groupe aromatique possédant de hautes qualités, telle qu'un chlorure cumyle (1,4-bis(2-chloro-2-propyle)benzène, p-DCC) de pureté élevée, qui peut être utilisé comme initiateur de polymérisation cationique à haut rendement avec une bonne efficacité d'une façon simple et facile. Le dernier procédé permet de produire un composé d'hydrocarbure chloré d'une grande pureté et à bon rendement.

Title: Protein s protects the nervous system from injury
Inventor: ZLOKOVIC BERISLAV V
IPC: C07K14/81
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: Protein S is a significant neuroprotectant when administered after focal ischemic stroke and prevents hypoxic/re-oxygenation injury. Purified human plasma-derived or recombinant protein S improves motor neurological function after stroke, and reduced brain infarction and edema. Protein S also enhance s post-ischemic reperfusion and reduced brain fibrin and neutrophil deposition . Cortical neurons are protected from hypoxia/re-oxygenation-induced apoptosis . Thus, protein S and variants thereof are prototypes of a class of agents for preventing injury of the nervous system. In particular, a disease or other pathological condition (e.g., stroke) may be treated with such agents having one or more protein S activities (e.g., anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammator y activities, direct cellular neuronal protective effects) although the latter activities are not be required.

Title: Treating alcohol and or substance abuse by antagonizing .alpha. 2 adrenergic receptors with weak dopamine blocking
Inventor: GREEN ALAN I
IPC: A61K31/55
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: Certain atypical antipsychotic medications (particularly clozapine) or combinations of medications are useful to treat alcohol or other substance abuse, particularly in the general (non-schizophrenic) population. Generally stated, one aspect of the invention features a method of treating a patient suffering from alcohol or other substance abuse by administering to the patient medication effective to rectify an abuse-associated dysfunction in the DA-mediated brain reward circuit. A second aspect of the invention features administering medication that strongly antagonizes .alpha.2 andrenergic receptors and weakly antagonizes dopamine D2 receptors. Preferably, the ratio of .alpha.2 receptor blockade to D2o receptor blockade is similar to that of clozapine. The medication may be a single compound (such as clozapine or risperidone), or it may include two or more compounds which together achieve the specified function. For example, the medication may include a first component which weakly blocks the D2 receptor (such as clozapine, quetiapine or ziprasidone or a low dose of another anti-psychotic that is a more potent D2 blocker) and a5 second component (such as clozapine, risperidone or idazoxan) which strongly blocks .alpha.2 receptors, particularly the .alpha.2C  receptor. Cocktails of the two components are also disclosed.
