Abstract: A method and kit for detecting the early onset of renal disease and injury, including renal tubular cell injury, utilizing NGAL as an early blood serum biomarker. NGAL is a small secreted polypeptide that is protease resistant and consequently readily detected in the blood serum following renal tubule cell injury. NGAL protein expression is detected predominantly in proximal tubule cells, in a punctate cytoplasmic distribution reminiscent of a secreted protein. The appearance of NGAL in the serum is related to the dose and duration of renal ischemia and nephrotoxemia, and is diagnostic of renal tubule cell injury and renal failure. NGAL detection is also a useful marker for monitoring the nephrotoxic side effects of drugs or other therapeutic agents.

Title: Positioning and conveying well apparatus and method
Inventor: BROCKMAN MARK W
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2000-10-16
Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: In a broad aspect, the invention may include a nipple (10), a deflector (42), and a conveying tool (116). The nipple may include an upper sealing surface (26) and a lower sealing surface (28). The nipple may also include a discriminator/muleshoe (30) having an alignment profile (32) and an alignment slot (34). A protuberance/bump (40) may be disposed in the alignment slot. The deflector (42) may include an upper seal (52) and a lower seal (54) adapted for engagement with upper and lower sealing surfaces (26, 28), respectively, on the nipple. When the upper and lower seals are engaged with the upper and lower sealing surfaces, fluid circulation is substantially restricted thereby resulting in an increase in pressure that is detectable at the earth's surface. The pressure increase provides a signal that the deflector is properly positioned in the nipple. The conveying tool may include a flexible arm (122) having a latching finger (124) that is releasably engageable with a latching profile (51) in the deflector. The latching profile may be on an inclined, concave surface of a whipstock (44). Related methods are also provided.

Abstract: Nitrogen oxide storage catalysts are used for removing the nitrogen oxides present in the lean-burn exhaust gas of lean-burn engines. Here, the purifying action is based on the nitrogen oxides being stored in the form of nitrates by the storage material of the storage catalyst during a lean-burn operating phase of the engine and the previously formed nitrates being decomposed in a subsequent rich-burn operating phase of the engine and the nitrogen oxides which are being liberated again being reacted with the reducing exhaust gas constituents over the storage catalyst to form nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water. Storage catalysts are thermally aged by high temperatures.  The aging is due to sintering of the catalytically active noble metal components of the catalyst and to formation of compounds of the storage components with the support materials.  According to the invention, the formation of compounds of the storage materials can be largely reversed by treatment of the storage material with a gas mixture comprising nitrogen dioxide and/or carbon dioxide and water vapor at temperatures of from 300 to 500°C. The reactivation can be carried out either directly on the vehicle by setting appropriate exhaust gas conditions or during a routine service by removal of the catalyst from the vehicle and treatment with a gas mixture in an appropriate apparatus.

Abstract: Use of a composition comprising cell membrane, or hydrophobic peptides derived from said cell membrane, for the reduction of lipolytic activity, retardation of fat digestion, suppression of appetite, decrease of body weight and/or lowering of blood lipids. Satiety for fat is mainly driven from the intestine.  By the contact of fat with the intestinal mucosa, various satiety peptides are released, thus suppressing appetite and food intake. A reduced rate of fat digestion could optimise the satiety for fat, through prolonged release of satiety peptides. Fat digestion can be retarded by reduction of the lipolytic activity of pancreatic lipase. The examples show that fractions of plant cell membranes (thylakoids) inhibit the lipolytic activity of pancreatic lipase.

Abstract: Identifying a vehicle in a toll system includes accessing a set of toll transaction entries. Each entry in the set designates a toll transaction between a vehicle and the toll system and includes a transaction descriptor and a transaction time stamp. A series of toll transaction pictures is accessed. The series includes a plurality of pictures, each of which is associated with a picture time stamp. A toll transaction entry is identified from the set as a violation transaction entry based on the transaction descriptor. A toll transaction picture is selected from the series. The transaction time stamp of the violation transaction is compared, using a processing device, with the picture time stamp of the selected toll transaction picture. The selected toll transaction picture is identified as a violation picture corresponding to the violation transaction entry based on a result of the comparison.
