Title: Multi-position ratchet mechanism
Inventor: PHILLIPS BURNS P
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: A multi-position ratchet mechanism has a retractor holder (14) which receives a retractor stem connected to a retractor. A pawl (42) selectively engages the retractor stem to allow for the retractor stem to be positioned relative to the retractor holder. The retractor holder (14) has a passage (37) and is connected at a base pivot (30) to a base (26) having a toothed hub (28). The toothed hub (28) extends into the passage (37) and a locking mechanism (32) connected to the retractor holder (14) allows for the selection of a pivot angle of the retractor holder (14) relative to the base (26). The base (26) rotates relative to a ring holder (12) in a first configuration. In a second configuration a rotation angle between the base (26) and the ring holder (12) is set and locked with a locking actuator (76). The locking actuator (76) is a cam actuator (17) which drives a cam surface about a locking pivot to allow contact surface between the base (26) and ring holder (12) to contact one another. A retaining mechanism (48) selectively maintains a ring (46) in a slot (54) in the ring holder (12).

Title: Combined use of oil and emulsion for the cold rolling of strip
Inventor: BUENTEN ROLF
IPC: B21B45/02
Filed: 2002-08-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cold-rolling strips consisting of, inter alia, special steels and/or nonferrous metals, in a multi-stand tandem rolling mill. The first stand(s) carry out comparatively high reductions and the last stand(s) determine the surface quality of the strip, with a relatively low reduction. The aim of the invention is to improve the capacity of the tandem rolling mill in terms of thickness reduction and in terms of the surface quality of the rolled strips. To this end, an emulsion is used as a coolant and lubricant for the first passages of the strip through the tandem rolling mill with relatively high reduction. The adhesive coolant and lubricant film is then squeezed off the strip following removal from the roll gap of the last emulsion-operated stand.  Rolling oil is used as a lubricant for especially the last passage(s) through the tandem rolling mill with relatively low reduction. The invention also relates to an installation for carrying out the inventive method.

Title: Proppant recovery system
Inventor: TEESDALE CHRIS
IPC: E21B21/01
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for removing proppant from fluid used in an oil and gas well for reuse in future operations. The proppant is separated from the well fluid and transported to a materials collection tank. A crane then transports the materials collection tank onto a processing boat. On the processing boat, the proppant is vacuumed from the materials collection tank to a hopper. The proppant is then discharged from the hopper into a holding tank for treatment and reuse. In a first alternative embodiment, two hoppers are positioned above each other so that the proppant can be added to the upper hopper and then fed by gravity to the lower hopper. A valving arrangement maintains vacuum within the interior of at least one hopper at all times to provide a continuous vacuum operation. A conduit discharges from the lower hopper into the holding tank.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: L'établissement de profil d'expression de gènes entre des plasmocytes/cellules bêta normales et des plasmocytes de myélomes multiples a révélé quatre sous groupes distincts de plasmocytes de myélomes multiples qui présentent une corrélation significative avec des caractéristiques cliniques connues pour être associées à un pronostic sombre. On a également établi des diagnostics de myélomes multiples ( et éventuellement de gammopathie monoclonale dont la signification est indéterminée) fondés sur l'expression différentielle de 14 gènes, ainsi que des pronostics pour les quatre sous groupes de myélomes multiples fondés sur l'expression de 24 gènes. L'établissement de profil d'expression de gènes permet aussi de placer des myélomes multiples dans un schéma de développement parallèle à celui de la différentiation de plasmocytes normaux. Le système de classification de myélomes multiples fondé sur le développement d'une expression de gène ou sur le stade de développement conduirait à des conceptions rationnelles de diagnostics, de pronostics et de thérapies spécifiques de la tumeur de myélomes multiples plus sensibles et plus précis.

Title: Pressure controlled fluid pressure extrusion method
Inventor: KOBAYASHI KAZUTO
IPC: B29C47/00
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: The lower part of a material to be molded forms a lower, seal with a die. A punch applying a molding force to the material forms an upper seal with the perimeter of the die. The space between the upper and lower, seals forms a pressure chamber that is filled with a fluid. As the punch descends into the die, the fluid is pressurized. The lower seal is a complete seal to prevent leakage of fluid into the die. The upper seal is given a clearance with the die that permits controlled leakage of fluid therepast at a rate that limits the maximum pressure in the pressure chamber while permitting the development of an adequate pressure on the material being molded.

Title: Regulating water treatment agent dosage based on operational system stresses
Inventor: GODFREY MARTIN R
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1995-02-13
Abstract: A target-specie responsive regulation of water treatment agent feed is achieved by the monitoring of a subject target-specie indicator. A target specie in a sample taken from the system is selected as the subject target-specie indicator, or instead an incipient reagent is added to the system sample to form a subject target-specie indicator. Such a formed subject target-specie indicator comprises a combination of the incipient reagent and a target specie. The subject target-specie indicator might then monitored by fluorescence analysis of the sample to determine at least one fluorescence emission value that can be correlated to the in-system concentration of the target specie. In combination with an inert tracer, the system consumption for the target specie can be determined. A responsive adjustment of the in-system concentration of a water treatment agent can be made.

Title: Use of a kiosk to provide verifiable identification using cryptographic identifiers
Inventor: LEON J P
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 2004-06-01
Abstract: A method of providing verifiable identification credentials for a subject at a credential generation station (CGS) includes acquiring biometric information from the subject, incorporating the biometric information into a message, cryptographically processing the message to generate a cryptographic identifier that will serve to authenticate the message, and storing the message and the cryptographic identifier for subsequent authentication. The message may include additional information relating to one or more of the specific CGS, the subject, or the tithe of creating the message. A method of verifying the identification of a subject at a credential verification station (CVS) includes processing a cryptographic identifier and a message that includes previously acquired biometric information, where the cryptographic identifier and the message nominally correspond to the. subject, and determining whether the cryptographic identifier authenticates the. message.  At least if the message is cryptographically authenticated, biome.tric information is acquired from the subject, and it is determined whether the newly acquired biometric infornation satisfies a proximity relationship to the biemetric information from the message.
