Title: Method and apparatus for injecting one or more fluids into a borehole
Inventor: LILLICO DOUGLAS A
IPC: E21B33/124
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for injecting a fluid into a borehole. The method includes the step of injecting an injection fluid into a primary injection zone in a borehole at an injection fluid pressure. The primary injection zone is bounded by a proximal injection zone interface and a distal injection zone interface. The proximal injection zone interface and the distal injection zone interface are maintained at pressures which are substantially balanced with the injection fluid pressure.  The apparatus includes a body adapted for passage through a borehole, at least four radially extendable and retractable zone interface elements spaced longitudinally along the body which when extended define at least three zones along the body, a zone interface element actuator for selectively extending and retracting the zone interface elements, and a fluid delivery system for delivering a fluid to each zone. The central zone defined by the zone interface elements is the primary injection zone and the zones on either side of the primary injection zone are balancing zones which are used to achieve substantial pressure balancing with the fluid injection pressure at the proximal injection zone interface and the distal injection zone interface.

Title: Multilayered polymers and foams with variable sized interlayer gaps
Inventor: HANDA PAUL
IPC: B32B5/18
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: The invention disclosed provides integral multilayered polymers with variable interlayer gaps, and processes for their manufacture. The materials thus produced consist of many layers of a polymeric material, which may be a single polymer or a blend of compatible polymers, separated by discontinuous narrow gaps containing air and/or a blowing agent. The layer density can be controlled within a wide range, typically 10 to 2000 layers/mm, while the gap width between the layers can be controlled either to ~ 100 nanometers (called nanolayered polymers) or ~ 1 micrometer (called microlayered polymers), depending on the process. These layered materials are mechanically strong and have excellent thermal and electrical, and sound insulation properties. Two distinct mechanisms were developed for producing such materials. A first process produces nanolayered polymers and involves first introducing a low degree of entanglement among some of the polymer chains and then breaking apart these entanglements using a blowing agent. The microlayer process involves the use of stress-induced nucleation to uniformly grow cells in the polymer containing dissolved blowing agent and force the cells to grow in a preferential direction.

Title: Method of making a collagen membrane from porcine skin
Inventor: GEISTLICH PETER
IPC: A23L13/20
Filed: 2000-11-28
Abstract: Collagen membranes are formed from porcine rinds (i.e., pig skins) for us in a variety of applications and, most preferably, for wrapping food products, such as hams and the like. First, after removing skins from the porcine, the skins are promptly frozen. In later processing, the rinds are thawed and then enzymatically defatted. Then, a quick alkalinic hydrolyzation is performed on the rinds. Then, an acidic hydrolyzation is performed on the rinds. The rinds are then ground into a gel-like fluid mass. Finally, the fluid mass is extruded, sheeted and dried into a collagen membrane. The collagen membrane produced can be, in preferred embodiments, used for wrapping food products, such as hams.

Title: Method of predicting the ability of compounds to modulate the biological activity of receptors
Inventor: PAIGE LISA A
IPC: C07K7/08
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: The ability of a query compound to modulate the biological activity of a receptor in a multicellular organism is predicted on the basis of its interaction with that receptor in the presence of various member of a panel of BioKeys. The BioKeys are ligands, especially peptides or nucleic acids, known to modify the conformation of the receptor. This interaction data, known as a "fingerprint", is compared to the fingerprints for reference compounds with known biological activities mediated by that receptor.  In the "molecular braille" (MB) embodiment of the present invention, the reference and test fingerprints are based on in vitro (cell-free) assays. In the "cellular-braille" (CB) embodiment of the present invention, the reference and test fingerprints are based on cellular assays (but not on assays of whole multicellular organisms, or their organs or tissues).
Patent CA-2334707-A1 (CA)
Title: Pseudo-cyclic oligonucleobases
Inventor: KANDIMALLA EKAMBAR R
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: The present invention comprises a new class of oligonucleobases (e.g., oligonucleotides), which we call "pseudo-cyclic oligonucleotides" (PCOs). PCOs contain two oligonucleotide segments attached through their 3'-3' or 5'-5' ends. One of the segments (the "functional segment") of the PCO has some functionality (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to a target mRNA). Another segment (the "protective segment") is complementary to the 3'-or 5'- terminal end of the functional segment (depending on the end through which it is attached to the functional segment). As a result of complementarity between the functional and protective segment segments, PCOs form intramolecular pseudo-cyclic structures in the absence of the target nucleic acids (e.g., RNA). PCOs are more stable than conventional antisense oligonucleotides because of the presence of 3'-3' or 5'-5' linkages and the formation of intramolecular pseudo-cyclic structures. Pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution, and stability studies in mice suggest that PCOs have higher in vivo stability than and, pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution profiles similar to, those of PS-oligonucleotides in general, but rapid elimination from selected tissues. When a fluorophore and quencher molecules are appropriately linked to the PCOs of the present invention, the molecule will fluoresce when it is in the linear configuration, but the fluorescence is quenched in the cyclic conformation. Such oligos are useful for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for calculating relative phase between channels of a multi-sensor tracking device. The relative phases may be used to calibrate t he multi-tracking sensor device to perform more accurately. The method involves  recording a plurality of first signals generated by a first channel of the multi-sensor tracking device. The plurality of first signals are generated during a movement of the multi-sensor tracking device. Typically, the multi- sensor tracking device includes several channels, each one of which includes  at least one sensor for sensing movement with respect to a corresponding axi s. Concurrent to recording of plurality of first signals, a plurality of second  signals generated by a second channel of the multi-sensor tracking device, i s recorded. The plurality of second signals are generated during the movement of the multi-sensor tracking device. Thereafter, a relative phase between the first and second channels is calculated as a function of the recorded plurality of first signals and the recorded plurality of second signals.</SD OAB>
