Title: Apparatus for retrieving a fish attached to a line and method for retrieving such fish
Inventor: WARREN E HUFE JR
IPC: A01K97/18
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: A device and method for retrieving a fish or other animal or object attached to a line includes a tube having a flexible wall extending between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. The tube wall defines a tube aperture aligned with a central longitudinal axis, and includes a first longitudinal edge and a second opposed longitudinal edge, where at least one of the longitudinal edges is flexibly movable relative to the opposed longitudinal edge. The first and second longitudinal edges selectively define a tube passageway for receiving the line. A funnel having a flexible wall defining a funnel aperture is connected to the distal end portion of the tube, wherein the funnel aperture is aligned with the tube aperture along the central longitudinal axis. A plurality of flexible and resilient fish retention members are positioned adjacent the tube aperture and oriented at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis to accommodate unidirectional passage of the fish through the tube for retrieval thereof. In an alternative preferred embodiment a tubular member includes a plurality of inwardly biased fish retention members formed monolithically therewith.

Title: Method for producing 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-5-formamidopyrimidine
Inventor: GUETHNER THOMAS
IPC: C07D239/545
Filed: 2005-01-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-5-formamidopyrimidine from 2,5-diamino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine or a salt thereof. According to said method, a) 2,5-diamino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine or the salt or tautomer forms thereof are reacted with a chlorination agent and a formamide of formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 independently represent a C1-C4 alkyl radical or -R1-R2- represents -(CH2)n- where n = 4-6, or -(CH2)2-0-(CH2)2-, without adding a solvent, at a temperature of between 50 and 130 ~C, b) the reaction product obtained in step a) is reacted with water at a temperature of between 0 and 100 ~C, and regulated to a pH value of between 1 and 6 with an inorganic base, and c) the aqueous reaction mixture obtained in step b) is left to react at a temperature of between 70 and 120 ~C under hydrolysis to form 2-amino-4,6-dichloor-5-formamidopyrimidine. The inventive method enables satisfactory yields and high levels of purity of the end product to be obtained. As a result of the significantly reduced reaction volumes due to the solvent, auxiliary substances and residual substances saved, and the significantly simplified method, the costs incurred in the production of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-5-formylaminopyrimidine are significantly reduced.
Patent CA-2555994-A1 (CA)
Title: Electromagnetic surveying for resistive or conductive bodies
Inventor: TOMPKINS MICHAEL
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A method of analysing electromagnetic survey data from an area of seafloor (6) that is thought or known to contain a conductive or resistive body, such as a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir (12), is described. The method includes providing electric field data and magnetic field data, for example magnetic flux density, obtained by at least one receiver (25) from a horizontal electric dipole (HED) transmitter (22) and determining a vertical gradient in the electric field data. The vertical gradient in the electric field data and the magnetic field data are then combined to generate combined response data.  The combined response data is compared with background data specific to the area being surveyed to obtain difference data sensitive to the presence of a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir. Because the combined response data are relatively insensitive to the transverse electric (TE) mode component of the transmitted signal, the method allows hydrocarbon reservoirs to be detected in shallow water where the TE mode component interacting with the air would otherwise dominate. Furthermore, because there is no mixing between the TE and transverse magnetic (TM) modes in the combined response data, data from all possible transmitter and receiver orientations may be used. The background data may be provided by magneto-telluric surveying, controlled source electromagnetic surveying or from direct geophysical measurement.
