Title: Hydrocarbon recovery facilitated by in situ combustion utilizing horizontal well pairs
Inventor: CHHINA HARBIR SINGH
IPC: E21B43/243
Filed: 2006-01-13
Abstract: The invention provides hydrocarbon recovery processes that may be utilized i n heavy oil reservoirs. Horizontal hydrocarbon production wells may be provide d below horizontal oxidizing gas injection wells, with distant combustion gas production wells offset from the injection well by a distance that is greate r than the hydrocarbon production well offset distance. Oxidizing gases inject ed into the reservoir through the injection well support in situ combustion, to mobilize hydrocarbons. The process may be adapted for use in a reservoir tha t has undergone depletion of petroleum in a precedential petroleum recovery process, such as a steam-assisted-gravity-drainage process, leaving a residu al oil deposit in the reservoir as well as mobile zone chambers. Processes of t he invention may be modulated so that a portion of the residual oil supports in situ combustion, while a larger portion of the residual oil is produced, by channelling combustion gases along the pre-existing mobile zones with the reservoir.

Abstract: A simulated body part (e.g., head phantom) containing one or more sensors detects the time changing electric and magnetic fields created by a magnetic stimulation device and applied to the simulated body part. The sensors are connected to electronics that determine if the sensor output evidences that the strength of the applied magnetic field is sufficient to stimulate the patient. The measured signal levels may be varied to simulate patients with different thresholds and sensory feedback may be provided to the operator to indicate the accuracy of the positioning and orientation of the stimulation coil. The electronics may further include an analysis device that determines if the magnitude and duration of the stimulation is sufficient to stimulate the target nerves. The phantom or coil positioning apparatus also measures the location and orientation of the coil so that the trainee's positioning can be measured against a known result. A head phantom embodiment may also provide additional features such as the ability to adjust the Motor Threshold (MT) or sensor locations.

Title: Preservative systems comprising cationic surfactants
Inventor: FIGUERAS ROCA SERGI
IPC: A61K8/44
Filed: 2005-08-01
Abstract: Preservative systems on the basis of cationic surfactants are known i n the art, a typical example of such cationic surfactants is the ethyl ester of the lauramide of arginine monohydrochloride ( LAE ) (2). Besides the chloride form the corresponding bromide and sulphate salts are known. It was found that other salts of the cationic surfactants display excellent properties, such as the salts oflactic acid, glutamic acid and acetic acid. It was further found that the combination of the cationic surfactants with at least one salt of an organic or inorganic acid displayed an excellent preservative action. A  further preservative system with favourable properties was the combination of the cationic surfactants with at least one ester compound, amide or enzyme inhibitor. Also the combination of the cationic surfactant with a further cationic molecule such as ethyl arginate, glucosamine or chitosan led to an effective preservative system. A further effective preservative system turned out to be the cationic surfactant in encapsulated form.
