Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing an aqueous gel of nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) by removing water from the aqueous gel by means of an organic solvent miscible with water. In the method: - aqueous gel is introduced into a volume of organic solvent miscible with water in a controlled manner so that the aqueous gel is kept as a separate phase and forms discrete physical entities containing the nanofibrillar cellulose within the phase, - water is changed with the organic solvent in said discrete physical entities of nanofibrillar cellulose, and - the physical entities are separated from the volume of organic solvent.
Patent CA-2825040-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZAHNISER MICHAEL
IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 2011-01-18
Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for mapping coordinates of various imaging stations are described. In some implementations, cells (e.g.., red blood cells) in a biological specimen (112) can be used for determining the mapping information between the imaging stations (120a, 120b). The use of cells allows a target image (e.g., an image of a sub-region of cells in the biological specimen) taken by one imaging station (120b) to be pattern -matched to a reference image (e.g., an image showing a larger region of cells in the biological specimen that also includes the sub -region) taken by another imaging station (120a). Once the target image is matched to the reference image, point by point correspondence (and therefore coordinates) between the target image and the reference image can be established for computing the coordinate transformation to map the imaging stations.

Title: Indexing sleeve for single-trip, multi-stage fracing
Inventor: ROBISON CLARK E
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2011-03-28
Abstract: A sliding sleeve has a sensor that detects plugs (darts, balls, etc.) passing through the sleeves. A first insert on the sleeve can be hydraulically activated by the fluid pressure in the surrounding annulus once a preset number of plugs have passed through the sleeve. Movement of this first insert activates a catch on a second insert. Once the next plug is deployed, the catch engages it so that fluid pressure applied against the seated plug through the tubing string can moves the second insert. Once moved, the insert reveals port in the housing communicating the sleeve's bore with the surrounding annulus so an adjacent wellbore interval can be stimulated. The first insert may also be hydraulically activated after a preset time after a plug has passed through the sleeve. Several sleeves can be used together in various arrangements to treat multiple intervals of a wellbore.

Abstract: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and phosphorylation is increased in cancer cells treated with anti-clusterin antibodies. Such treatment is also accompanied with the reappearance of an epithelial phenotype of the cancer cell, as determined by an increased E-cadherin expression at the surface of cancer cells. Clusterin inhibitors may thus induce reversal of the epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype and restore sensitivity of cancer cells to EGFR inhibitors. Combinations of a clusterin inhibitor and an EGFR as well as their use in treatment of cancer are thus provided herewith.
