Abstract: A method of selecting a resource for providing a service from a set of resources on a network, using a mobile device. The method includes the steps of sending a set infrared link message by infrared communication from the mobile device, the set infrared link message including a set of network addresses corresponding to the set of resources, and receiving the set infrared link message at the resource. The method also includes the step of determining if the resource is included in the set of resources and sending a set infrared link confirmation message by infrared communication from the resource to the mobile device. The infrared link confirmation message confirms that the resource is included in the set of resources and provides a network address of the resource.

Abstract: A fan powered by a controlled external energy source and a flow measurement device measure the airflow exiting or entering grilles/registers of an HVAC system without impeding the airflow being measured. A flow straightening element is preferably employed to overcome any effects of a non-uniform or swirled airflow profile on the tan. Preferably, the RPM of the fan is measured to determine the airflow. The RPM/flow calibration of the tan is insensitive to pressure differentials or the fan is a pressure-sensitive fan submitted to appropriate pressure differentials. Alternatively, the voltage or current supplied to the external energy source is used to determine the airflow. Finally, the pressure differential across the flow straightening element can be measured to determine airflow, eliminating the impact of pressure differential across the flow measurement device and fan.

Title: Multi-channel bio-separation cartridge
Inventor: AMIRKHANIAN VAROUJ
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 2002-01-28
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: A bio-separation system using an efficient, compact, portable, interchangeable, reusable, recyclable, multi-channel cartridge, has integrated pre-aligned optics and an integrated reagent reservoir. The cartridge supports, for example, multiple capillaries for CE separation. An integrated reservoir containing a separation support medium (e.g., a gel buffer) is common to all capillaries. The chemistry of the medium and the characteristics of the capillaries (e.g., capillary size, coating and length) are defined for each cartridge. Different cartridges can be easily interchanged in the bio-separation system to suit the particular sample based separation. The reservoir is coupled to an air pressure pump that pressurizes the gel reservoir to purge and fill the capillaries with buffer as the separation support medium. In another aspect of the present invention, optics requiring fine alignment with respect to the detection zones (such as fiber optics for directing incident radiation and/or radiation emissions) are integrated into the cartridge.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for expanding a lower string of casing into frictional contact with an upper string of casing, and thereby hanging the lower string of casing onto the upper string of casing is provided. The apparatus essentially defines a lower string of casing having a separation region formed in the top end thereof. The lower string of casing is run into the wellbore, and positioned so that the top end overlaps with the bottom end of an upper string of casing already cemented into the wellbore. The top end of the lower casing string is expanded below the depth of the separation region into frictional contact with the upper string of casing. At the same time, or shortly thereafter, the top end of the upper string of casing is expanded. As the portion of the lower casing string having the separation region is expanded, the casing severs into upper and lower portions. The upper portion can then be removed from the wellbore, leaving a lower string of casing expanded into physical contact with an upper string of casing. The separation region may be formed by heat treating the tubular at the point of desired severance. In another aspect, the separation region may comprise the connection between two tubulars. This involves connecting two tubulars to form the tubular to be expanded downhole. The tubular formed is then lowered into the wellbore and expanded at the connection to separate the tubular.
