Title: Material interface level sensing
Inventor: COURNANE THOMAS C
IPC: G01F23/28
Filed: 1997-09-17
Granted: 2000-07-20
Abstract: Apparatus for determining levels of immiscible fluids in a vessel that includes a transmission line sensor that extends vertically within the vessel for contact with fluids within the vessel. A generator is coupled to the sensor for transmitting along the sensor a first electrical signal that continuously sweeps a predetermined frequency range. A voltage detector is coupled to the sensor for providing a second electrical signal that varies as a function of the amplitude of electrical energy reflected at the sensor from the various electrical impedance discontinuities along the sensor, including particularly interfaces between and within immiscible fluids surrounding the sensor. The frequency spectral characteristics of the second electrical signal are analyzed to determine the spatial distribution of electrical impedance along the sensor, from which the levels of immiscible fluids within the vessel are determined.

Title: Method and associated device for removing material from body
Inventor: GELBFISH GARY A
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1995-12-15
Granted: 1999-04-29
Abstract: A method for removing a clot utilizes a surgical instrument or device including an elongate tubular member having a most distal first opening, a relatively central second opening and a most proximal third opening all spaced from each other along the tubular member. The distal end of the tubular member is inserted through a skin surface of a patient into a subcutaneous blood vessel or vascular bypass and subsequently out of the vascular component and the skin surface so that the first opening and the third opening are located outside the patient while the second opening is located in the vascular component. Upon completed insertion of the device, suction is applied to one of the openings outside the patient to thereby draw a blood clot in the blood vessel or vascular bypass towards the second opening which is disposed in the vessel, graft or bypass. Upon a drawing of the clot at least partially into the tubular member through the second opening, a portion of the clot is severed inside the tubular member and is subsequently removed from the tubular member through the suction opening in the tubular member.

Title: Triple stranded nucleic acid and methods of use
Inventor: HOGAN MICHAEL EDWARD
IPC: C12Q1/6886
Filed: 1989-12-20
Granted: 1993-09-09
Abstract: A method for making synthetic oligonucleotides which bind to target sequences in a duplex DNA forming colinear triplexes by binding to the major groove. The method includes scanning genomic duplex DNA and identifying nucleotide target sequences of greater than about 20 nucleotides having either about at least 65% purine bases or about at least 65% pyrimidine bases; and synthesizing synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to identified target sequences. The synthetic oligonucleotides have a G when the complementary location in the DNA duplex has a GC base pair and have a T when he complementary location in the DNA duplex has an AT base pair. The synthetic oligonucleotides are oriented 5 min  to 3 min  and bind parallel or 3 min  to 5 min  and bind anti-parallel to the about at least 65% purine strand. Also described are synthetic oligonucleotides made by the above methods. The oligonucleotides can be altered by modifying and/or changing the bases, adding linkers and modifying groups to the 5 min and/or 3 min  termini, and changing the backbone. These synthetic oligonucleotides bind to duplex DNA to form triplexes. This process alters the functioning of the genes which are bound. This process can be used to inhibit cell growth, alter protein ratios, treat diseases including cancer and permanently alter the DNA.

Title: Methods for repairing pipe
Inventor: FAWLEY NORMAN C
IPC: F16L55/18
Filed: 1993-08-24
Granted: 1996-02-15
Abstract: In a method for reinforcing defective portions of a pipeline, the defective portions are identified by conventional techniques, soil is excavated from around the pipeline to expose the deteriorated portions, any corrosion protection material is removed and the surface of the pipeline is cleaned. Gouges, dents and corrosion pitting are filled with an uncured filler material and, while the filler material is in an uncured workable state, a plurality of convolutions of a high tensile strength material are wrapped around the defective portion of the pipeline with a layer of a curable adhesive applied between adjacent convolutions. The adhesive then cures to a strongly adhesive state and the filler material cures to a rigid state capable of transferring the fluid pressure load within the pipeline almost instantaneously to the reinforcement band. Optionally, a layer of adhesive may be applied between the pipeline surface and the first convolution of the reinforcement band, in which case the adhesive must be compatible with the filler material so that both materials are able to cure fully, and also compatible with any corrosion protection material remaining on the pipeline. The method may be employed to reinforce both straight and bent portions of a pipeline.

Title: Process for acidifying solutions of molasses
IPC: C12C11/06
Filed: 1990-11-07
Granted: 1992-11-19
Abstract: Dilute molasses solutions are generally acidified with the aid of sulphuric acid and then employed as nutrient medium for fermentations. However, used nutrient solutions lead on anaerobic methanisation, because of the sulphate content, to biogas containing hydrogen sulphide. It is now possible to acidify molasses solutions to an adequate extent with the aid of ion exchangers. These molasses solutions are comparable with customary molasses solutions in fermentations, and they produce an improved biogas in the methanisation. Preparation of acidified molasses solutions and their use in fermentation processes.
