Title: Molecules with extended half-lives, compositions and uses thereof
Inventor: ACQUA WILLIAM DALL
IPC: A61K39/395
Filed: 2001-12-12
Granted: 2008-01-10
Abstract: The present invention provides molecules, including IgGs, non-IgG immunoglobulins, proteins and non-protein agents, that have increasedin vivohalf-lives due to the presence of an IgG constant domain, or a portion thereof that binds the FcRn, having one or more amino acid modifications that increase the affinity of the constant domain or fragment for FcRn.

Title: Method for utilizing gas reserves with low methane concentrations and high inert gas concentrations for fueling gas turbines
Inventor: VICTORY DONALD J
IPC: C10L3/08
Filed: 2005-02-08
Granted: 2006-11-02
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of fueling gas turbines from natural gas reserves with relatively low methane concentrations. The invention uses such reserves to generate electric power. The invention permits the use of these reserves at significantly lower cost than by producing pipeline natural gas to fuel gas turbines to generate electric power. These reserves currently generally are used only after the removal of impurities to produce pipeline natural gas quality turbine fuel. The latter current technology is capital intensive, and at current natural gas prices, economically unattractive. The process of the invention can remove the impurities from the gas from the natural gas reserve necessary for protection of the environment and leaves inert gasses in the fuel in an amount which will increase the output of a gas turbine for the generation of power by about 5 to about 20%.

Title: Razor cartridge having a decoupled guard bar
Inventor: FOLLO THOMAS
IPC: B26B21/22
Filed: 2006-05-19
Granted: 2012-10-04
Abstract: According to the present invention, a shaving implement (10) includes a handle (16) , a neck (14) , a razor cartridge (12) , and a biasing member (18) . The neck extends from the handle and includes a first connecting member (28) and a guard bar having a skin-engaging surface (32) . The razor cartridge includes a cap (22) positioned aft of the at least one blade (20) . The razor cartridge is attached to the first connecting member of the neck such that the razor cartridge is pivotable relative to the skin-engaging surface of the guard bar between a neutral position (46) and a rotated position (48) . A biasing member urges the razor cartridge toward the neutral position. During use, the frictional forces caused by the surface being shaved passing over the skin-engaging surface of the guard bar are transferred into the handle, and, therefore, have a negligible effect on the pivotal movement of the razor cartridge between the neutral and rotated positions during normal shaving.

Inventor: MAHENDRA SAMAROO
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2006-09-18
Granted: 2011-07-07
Abstract: During a surge-pulsing operation in a borehole (e.g an oil-well undergoing remediation) liquid is stored under pressure upstream of a valve, and then released through the valve suddenly enough to create a seismic wave, which propagates into the formation around the borehole, and assists the surge-pulsing to improve the conductivity and liquid- injectability of the formation.
