Title: A method and apparatus for attaching a fluid cell to a planar substrate
Inventor: MALITO MICHAEL P
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2007-08-15
Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for attaching a fluid cell to a planar substrate. The planar substrate may have on it sensors or devices for detecting components within the fluid, and/or be treated to selectively bind or react with components within the fluid. Substrates might include solid-state IC integrated circuit sensor microchips, glass slides, genomic and proteomic arrays, and or other suitable substrates that can make conformal contact with the fluid cell. The fluid cell can be mounted directly on top of the substrate to easily create a fluidic system in a wide variety of implementations. The assembly does not require modification of the substrate; all the fluidic connections are inherent in the apparatus. The present device can be made using low-cost materials and simple methods.
Patent CA-2667455-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIVERSIDGE BARRY PETER
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: A safety device for shielding the sharp tip (36) of a medical needle (12) has a needle mount (10) which either directly supports a medical needle, or indirectly supports the needle for instance where the needle is provided as a part of a syringe. A sleeve (20) is carried directly or indirectly on the needle mount (10) and is slidably movable to a needle shielding position where the sleeve surrounds the needle sharp tip. A spring (30) including forwardly projecting spring blades (32) when sufficiently loaded acts on an internal conical surface (24) of the sleeve to drive the sleeve to its shielding position and a locking mechanism (26, 34) then locks the sleeve in that position. A camming mechanism (18,33) serves to load the spring blades (32) in the course of the use of the safety device such that thereafter the interaction of the blades (32) with the conical surface (24) urges the sleeve to its shielding position, the camming mechanism (18,33) being activated by movement of the sleeve to expose the needle for use.

Abstract: A method for estimating seismic data from sources of noise in the earth surrounding a first seismic receiver and a second seismic receiver. The method includes calculating a Green's function G'(X1, X2) between a first seismic receiver X1 and a second seismic receiver X2 using interferometry. The first seismic receiver X1 is located at a distance away from the second seismic receiver X2. After calculating the Green's function G'(X1, X2), the method may include steps for determining an estimate of one or more non-physical wavefields present in the Green's function G'(X1, X2) and determining a filter to remove the non-physical wavefields from the Green's function G'(X1, X2) based on the estimate of the non-physical wavefields.  The filter may then be applied to the Green's function G'(X1, X2) to obtain a Green's function G"(X1, X2) free of non-physical wavefields.

IPC: H04L47/6275
Filed: 2008-03-12
Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing transaction boundary detection methods in queuing and retransmission decisions relating to network traffic are described. By detecting transaction boundaries and sizes, a client, server, or intermediary device may prioritize based on transaction sizes in queuing decisions, giving precedence to smaller transactions which may represent interactive and/or latency-sensitive traffic. Further, after detecting a transaction boundary, a device may retransmit one or more additional packets prompting acknowledgements, in order to ensure timely notification if the last packet of the transaction has been dropped. Systems and methods for potentially improving network latency, including retransmitting a dropped packet twice or more in order to avoid incurring additional delays due to a retransmitted packet being lost are also described.

Title: System and method for receiving and decoding electromagnetic transmissions within a well
Inventor: BECK DAVID W
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2008-04-11
Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to transmission of electromagnetic (EM) pulses in a downhole environment, which is located below a surface of a landform. A sequence of EM energy pulses is generated from a signal generator located at the surface of the landform. The energy pulses are reflected at a ring frequency by one or more downhole transducers. The reflected energy pulse is received at a receiver, which is located at the surface, during a predetermined time interval. The receiver detects the received energy pulses through a time domain or frequency domain technique. The detected ring frequency is correlated to a parameter or condition of the downhole environment.
