Patent CA-2425840-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIPMAN ROBERT
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2003-04-17
Abstract: A bitumen froth is deaerated by passing the froth through a screen to reduce the air content of the froth. The screen is preferably configured as a conveyor belt which is rotated slowly underneath a froth supply unit and the sieve opening is preferably selected such that necking of the froth that drips out of the sieve openings occurs and the surface area of the froth is increased whereby air escape from the froth is enhanced.

Title: Determining wettability of an oil reservoir using borehole nmr measurements
Inventor: FREEDMAN ROBERT
IPC: G01R33/50
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: A method for determining downhole reservoir wettability includes acquiring a first set of NMR measurements of formation fluids in earth formations at a selected axial depth; inverting the first set of the NMR measurements to produce a first distribution of a spin relaxation parameter for a fluid component in the formation fluids; acquiring a second set of NMR measurements of a formation fluid sample removed by a formation fluid testing tool at the selected axial depth, the formation fluid sample being kept at a substantially same pressure and temperature as those of the formation fluids in the earth formations at the selected axial depth; inverting the second set of NMR measurements to produce a second distribution of the spin relaxation parameter for the fluid component in the formation fluid sample; determining the reservoir wettability from a comparison of the first and second distributions of the spin relaxation parameter.

Title: Artery smooth muscle- and vein smooth muscle-specific proteins and uses therefor
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID J
IPC: C12N5/077
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: Arterial and venous smooth muscle cells are molecularly distinct from the earliest stages of angiogenesis through to adulthood. This distinction is revelated by expression on arterial cells (e.g., arterial endothelial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells) of a transmembrane ligand, called EphrinB2 whose receptor EphB4 is expressed on venous cells. Targeted disruption of the EphrinB2 genne prevents the remodeling of veins from a capillary plexus into properly branched structures. Moreover, it also disrupts the remodeling of arteries, suggesting that reciprocal interactions between pre-specified arterial and venous cells are necessary for angiogenesis. Expression of EphrinB2 in arterial cells (e.g., arterial endothelial cells, arterial smooth muscle cells) can be used to advantage in methods for targeting agents and/or encoded polypeptides to arterial smooth muscle cells, altering angiogenesis, assessing the effect of agents on arterial smooth muscle cells, identifying arterial smooth muscle cells, isolating arterial smooth muscle cells and production of artificial vessels, for example.

Patent CA-2444392-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEARSON JAMES E
IPC: H01H25/06
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: A program timer for use with commercial or consumer appliances provides a single user knob interface that allows the desired selection of a programmed cycle and a push-to-start function. To preclude inadvertent program operation and enhance the life of the program timer, a snap-action switch is utilized to provide the push-to-start functionality. As such, actuation of the start switch provides a positional hysteresis that prevents teasing of the switch. The rapid snap-action opening and closing of the switch contacts precludes or minimizes the arc sustained between the contacts so as to greatly increase the life of the start switch. In one embodiment an actuation wheel larger in diameter than the program cam stack of the timer is utilized to pivot a lever to actuate the snap-action switch.

Abstract: An electroplating anode assembly and method for electroplating the plating area of a work-piece. The assembly includes a conductive element and a helical insulating coil. The conductive element can either be a straight conductive wire or a helically coiled conductive wire. The insulating coil is substantially equal in length to the conductive element and positioned around the conductive element for preventing the conductive element from contacting the plating area of the work-piece. The insulating coil extends continuously along the length of the entire electroplating portion of the conductive element. The anode assembly can be used to achieve uniform and adequate electroplating surfaces within recessed and enclosed plating areas of work-pieces that are conventionally difficult to electroplate due to its ability to be readily manipulated into various shapes.      Further, anode assembly can be readily repositioned during the course of electroplating to further reduce the instance of localized areas of thick/thin deposition.
