Title: Improved process for predicting behavior of a subterranean formation
Inventor: WATTS JAMES W III
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1999-02-09
Abstract: A process is disclosed for predicting a characteristic of a fluid-containing physical system such as a reservoir. The physical system is discretized to a plurality of gridcells. For each gridcell, nonlinear governing equations are constructed that are representative of fluid properties for each fluid. The nonlinear terms are linearized to derive linear equations at a current timestep. The linear equations are then solved to determine estimates of the solution. The estimated solution is then improved by a gridcell-by-gridcell computation wherein flows into and out of a particular gridcell are determined using linearized values of nonlinear terms in gridcells adjacent that particular gridcell.  The improved solution is used to predict a property of a fluid in the physical system at end of the timestep. These calculation steps are repeated for a plurality of timesteps and the results are used to predict a property of the physical system and the fluids it contains as a function of time.

Title: Asymmetrical forward/reverse transmission bandwidth
Inventor: OZLUTURK FATIH
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: A wireless communications system employs code-division multiple access information transmission techniques where the uplink and downlink transmission bandwidths are unequal. The higher bandwidth is an integer multiple of the lower bandwidth. The present system requires a base station and a subscriber unit to have two pseudo-random code generators which can be clocked separately. Alignment of the uplink and downlink pseudo-random spreading codes is achieved by truncating the code sequence for the lower speed link at the conclusion of a complete code sequence for the higher speed link.
Patent CA-2345407-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGEARY ROSS PETER
IPC: C07K1/02
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: This invention relates to methods for preparing cyclic peptides and peptidomimetic compounds in solution and bound to solid supports, and to cyclic peptide or peptidomimetic libraries for use in drug screening programmes. In particular the invention relates to a generic strategy for synthesis of cyclic peptides or peptidomimetics which enables the efficient synthesis under mild conditions of a wide variety of desired compounds. We have examined two approaches: 1) Positioning reversible N-amide substituents in the sequence. 2) Applying native ligation chemistry in an intramolecular sense. We have evaluated these for their improvements in the solution and solid phase synthesis of small cyclic peptides. We have systematically investigated the effects of preorganising peptides prior to cyclisation by using peptide cyclisation auxiliaries, and have developed new linkers to aid cyclic peptide synthesis. We have found surprising improvements in both yields and purity of products compared to the prior art methods. The combination of these technologies provides a powerful generic approach for the solution and solid phase synthesis of small cyclic peptides. We have also developed linkers and peptide cyclisation auxiliaries to aid cyclic peptide synthesis. The ring contraction and N-amide substitution technology of the invention provide improved methods for the synthesis of cyclic peptides and peptidomimetics.  When used in conjunction with linker strategies, this combination provides solid-phase avenues to cyclic peptides and peptidomimetics.
