Title: Integration of solvent deasphalting and gasification
Inventor: BARKLEY RICH WALTER
IPC: C10G21/00
Filed: 1999-07-27
Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: The invention is the integration of a process of gasifying asphaltenes in a gasification zone by partial oxidation and the process of asphaltene extraction with a solvent. The integration allows low level heat from the gasification reaction to be utilized in the recovery of solvent that was used to extract asphaltenes from an asphaltene-containing hydrocarbon material. Asphaltenes are extracted from an asphaltene-containing hydrocarbon material by mixing a solvent in quantities sufficient to precipitate at least a fraction of the asphaltenes. The precipitated asphaltenes are then gasified in a gasification zone to synthesis gas. The gasification process is very exothermic. The low level heat in the synthesis gas, either directly, or via an intermediate step of low pressure steam, is used to remove and recover the solvent from the deasphalted hydrocarbon material and from the asphaltenes prior to gasification.

Title: Borate crosslinked fracturing fluid viscosity reduction breaker mechanism and products
Inventor: CREWS JAMES B
IPC: C09K8/68
Filed: 2001-10-15
Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: It has been discovered that borate crosslinked fracturing fluid breaker mechanisms are improved by the inclusion of a ration-releasing material. When cations are released or liberated within the fracturing fluid, they complex with the hydroxide or carbonate pH buffers used within the borate crosslinked fracturing fluid, which in turn reduces the pH of the fracturing fluid. Once the pH is lowered, viscosity reduction (breaking) occurs by uncrosslinking of the polymer within the fracturing fluid, and by initiating or increasing activity of an enzyme breaker, if present. In one embodiment, the rations are divalent rations. Two specific, preferred materials for releasing divalent rations are calcium lignosulfonate and calcium chloride, the latter preferably in encapsulated form.

Abstract: A database multipoint synchronization which allows mul-tiple clients to simultaneously access and edit a database while avoiding inadvertent data corruption and ensuring the integrity of data within the database. A database manager, which may be configured as part of a database software application, keeps track of modifications saved to a database file and increments a modi-fication change counter accordingly. When a client user accesses a database record, the database manager detects the modification change counter value. Then if that client seeks to save mod-ifications to the database record, the database manager detects the current modification change counter value to discern whether other clients have saved modifications to the record following the access by the client presently seeking to save modifications.  If the modification change counter has incremented, the client is denied authorization to save the modifications and offered a choice of alternative operations. In this way, the data within the database record is not corrupted due to inadvertenly overwritting by another client's record.
Patent CA-2363721-C (CA)

IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2000-02-24
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: In client/server computing, especially in the field of e-commerce, digitally signed credentials are passed between client and server to develop trust between the parties. However, this requires that one party discloses its credentials (which could be considered sensitive) to the other party before the disclosing party knows anything about the receiving party (someone has to go first). To solve this problem, the invention implements a negotiation of credential disclosure called automatic incremental credential disclosure. Each credential held at a local site is associated with an access policy which is based on opposing site credentials. Incoming requests for credentials are logically combined with the access policies to derive further negotiation responses.

Filed: 2001-12-07
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: In a full text search retrieval device connected to a plurality of user terminals, a received retrieval condition and terminal device information are stored in a trailing character buffer. If it is determined that a preceding retrieving process is not being performed, then a retrieval pattern variable table and a retrieval request expression variable table are generated. According to the retrieval request expression variable table, a database of the data to be searched is searched to extract a retrieval result matching the retrieval condition transmitted from each of the terminal devices, and the extracted retrieval result is transmitted to each of the plurality of terminal devices. Thus, although retrieval requests are continuously transmitted from respective users, a retrieval result can be returned to each user terminal in the same response time as in the case where a user terminal corresponds to a retrieval device.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for implementing a semi-reliable retransmission protocol that utilizes both selective repeat Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) and segmentation and assembly of data packets. The new semi-reliable retransmission protocol includes a time (300) based triggering of a retransmission timeout (290) for retransmission protocols, which allows the retransmission timeout (290) to become insensitive to variations in the channel rate. In addition, the retransmission timeout (290) can be defined based upon the maximum delay allowable for the retransmission of corrupted data packets (215) over the air interface (240). For every data packet (215) received, a timer (300) monitoring the transmission time of the data packet (215) is initialized. If the timer (300) elapses for the data packet (215), this data packet is marked as discarded in the transmitter, and a request is sent to the receiver to ensure that transmissions carrying that data packet are discarded in the receiver.
