IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2004-06-11
Abstract: A method of supporting a tubular within a bore including the steps of at least partially expanding a sleeve into contact with a bore wall to secure the sleeve within the bore, and engaging a portion of the tubular to be supported with the sleeve to provide hanging support for the tubular. In one embodiment, the sleeve is expanded by engagement with the tubular. In another embodiment, the sleeve is initially expanded using a roller expansion tool, with further expansion being achieved by way of engagement of the tubular with the sleeve. An apparatus for supporting a tubular within a bore in one embodiment comprises an expandable sleeve having a first surface and being adapted to be expanded into contact with a bore wall, and a conical portion adapted to be coupled to a tubular, the conical portion having a second surface adapted to engage the first surface of the sleeve.

Title: Swing lance with integrated sensor
Inventor: HOOVER SCOTT L
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: An apparatus for lancing skin and collecting a liquid sample. The apparatus having a housing with an outer periphery and a rotatable arm having a lance to puncture the skin. A sample collection area is attached to the arm. The arm of the apparatus rotates from a first position to a second position. As the arm rotates, the lance extends beyond the housing allowing the lance to contact the user's skin and create a lance site. As the arm continues to move to the second position, the lance is brought out of contact with the user's skin and back within the housing while the collection area is brought into position. When the arm is located in the second position, the collection area is in substantially the same location as the lance site on the user's skin

Title: Method and apparatus for tactile cueing of aircraft controls
Inventor: AUGUSTIN MICHAEL J
IPC: G08B23/00
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for tactile cueing of aircraft controls (21) is disclosed. The apparatus of the present invention warns pilots of approaching limits on certain aircraft performance parameters. The most common warnings are for rotor speed exceeding a moving limit. The present invention uses tactile cueing through the collective stick (21). Tactile cueing means that the pilot does not need to scan the intruments to ascertain proximity to the aforementioned limits. Instead, the pilot can operate the aircraft within proper limits by touch, while maintaining situational awareness outside of the cockpit (20). The method and apparatus of the present invention provides customary friction resistance up to a limit position that is continuously updated. According to the present invention, continued motion of the collective (21) in a direction beyond that limit position results in a breakout force and an increasing resistive force.

Title: Process for the preparation of 3-isochromanone
Inventor: BUGNON PASCAL
IPC: C07D311/76
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: 3-Isochromanone is prepared by partially chlorinating o-tolylacetic acid with sulphuryl chloride or chlorine gas in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a free radical initiator. The 2-chloromethylphenylacetic acid first obtained is converted to 3-isochromanone by treatment with a base and separated from unreacted o-tolylacetic acid, which is in the form of a salt, by a phase separation technique. The separated o-tolylacetic acid salt is converted to o-tolylacetic acid by controlled acidification and the o-tolylacetic acid is extracted for re-use. The invention reduces the formation of unwanted, over-chlorinated by-products and leads to a more efficient process.

Abstract: An identity verification system that includes a self-authenticating identity card and a card reader. The self-authenticating card has a programmable microchip with data pertaining to the authorized card bearer, including data for a stored biometric feature, such as a fingerprint, a retinal scan, a voice print, a DNA sequence, etc. The card also includes a biometric sensor that senses an applied biometric feature and a data lock that releases data upon determinination of a match between the stored and the applied biometric features. In order to self-authenticate the card, the card bearer must provide the applied biometric feature. For example, the card bearer applies a finger tip to the sensor, if the applied biometric feature is a fingerprint.  If the data match, the data lock transmits data stored on the card to the card reader for processing.

Title: Network address translation with gateway load distribution
Inventor: MCLAGGAN DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2004-03-25
Abstract: Gateway and NAT services to a single host or large number of hosts on a local network using a redundancy group having gateway devices. A pool of unique IP  addresses (310) are partitioned into address blocks (310a-310d), one of which is assigned to a gateway device (212, 214, 216, 218). Using the unique IP  addresses in its assigned address block, the gateway device translates local IP addresses of hosts on a local network to unique IP addresses from the gateway device's assigned address block for host packets destined for outside networks and creates a mapping of the translation. The gateway device notifies other gateway devices in the redundancy group of the mapping. A master mapping database or a local mapping database is updated whenever one of the gateway devices performs a translation. In the event that one of the gateway devices ceases forwarding of outgoing packets for a host using the gateway device's virtual MAC address (VMAC), that virtual MAC address is re-assigned to an operating gateway device in the redundancy group (212, 214, 216, 218) to permit continued forwarding of the host's packets destined for outside networks.
