Title: Lormer's healing balm
Inventor: MCCLURE ROBERT L
IPC: A61K8/60
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: This patent application is for a blend of basic pharmacutical products used in a variety of medicines already on the market in other forms and for other uses. The formula was arrived at by trial and error over 20 years of mixing and application.      The ingredients are 1)Sulphour 2)Zinc Oxide 3 )Tannic Acid 4)Olive Oil The three dry ingredients of sulphour, zinc oxide and tannic acid are mixed together and then olive oil is added and stirred in until the compound is barely at a paste level. The finished ointment is then applied to the Equine athlete hereafter referred to as a horse whereever there occurs a wound from the wearing of a harness or other forms of horse harness equipment.  The resulting callus which is formed within 24 hours allows the horse to continue with his daily conditioning without a change of equipment. No other product available can or will create a callus over the horses wound allowing for continued daily condtioning without causing further affliction to the wounded area.

Title: Carbon dioxide adsorbents containing magnesium oxide suitable for use at high temperatures
Inventor: GAFFNEY THOMAS RICHARD
IPC: C01F5/00
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: Adsorption of carbon dioxide from gas streams at temperatures in the range of 300 to 500 °C is carried out with a solid adsorbent containing magnesium oxide, preferably promoted with an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate so that the atomic ratio of alkali metal to magnesium is in the range of 0.006 to 2.60. Preferred adsorbents are made from the precipitate formed on addition of alkali metal and carbonate ions to an aqueous solution of a magnesium salt. Atomic ratios of alkali metal to magnesium can be adjusted by washing the precipitate with water. Low surface area adsorbents can be made by dehydration and CO2 removal of magnesium hydroxycarbonate, with or without alkali metal promotion. The process is especially valuable in pressure swing adsorption operations.

Patent CA-2324706-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILSON BROWN LYLE
IPC: E21B37/00
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing sand, which has been separated from well fluids, from a well bore. A separator is provided to separate sand from well fluids before the well fluids enter an electrical submersible pump (ESP). A bypass tube is connected from a flow conduit above the pump to a location below the ESP where the sand is collected. The ESP is turned off and the fluid levels within the flow conduit are allowed to equalize. The flow conduit is then pressurized at the surface to cause a downward flow of well fluid in the flow conduit below an equilibrium point for the well fluid. After lowering the level of fluid within the flow conduit, the pressure within the flow conduit is then relieved, which causes the well fluid to flow upwards through the bypass tube to the flow conduit. As a result, sand is drawn up the bypass tube into the flow conduit above the pump. A check valve prevents back-flow of sand through the bypass tube after the sand and fluid have flowed through the bypass tube into the flow conduit. The pump is then restarted and the sand and fluid located above the pump in the flow conduit is pumped to the surface.

Patent CA-2326620-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAROCHELLE PAUL
IPC: F16D3/06
Filed: 2000-11-23
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a slip yoke for use with a transmission in a vehicle drive train assembly includes an initial step of near net forming an unfinished slip yoke, such as forging or casting. Portions of the slip yoke may be finished machined, if necessary. Then, an outer surface of the slip yoke is subjected to a burnishing process. Burnishing is a metal working process wherein one or more rollers are moved into engagement with the outer surface of the slip yoke as it is rotated. The pressure generated by the rollers re-shapes the outer surface of the slip yoke to a very smooth surface without the removal of material. The result is a tough, work hardened, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant surface for the outer surface of the slip yoke, having a mirror-like smooth finish. Lastly, the burnished slip yoke is installed on an output shaft of a transmission, wherein it is engaged by a seal. Slip yokes manufactured in accordance with the burnishing process of this invention have been found to provide significantly better results than slip yokes manufactured using the prior art grinding method.
