Patent CA-2395540-A1 (CA)
Title: Plain bearing and wind energy unit with said bearing
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2000-12-22
Abstract: In a plain bearing for the transmission of high axial forces and great flexural moments with slight relative movements the one co-operating bearing component has an annular rib which engages into an annular groove provided on the other co-operating bearing component. The annular rib which can be of an outwardly convergent trapezoidal cross-section is provided with anti-friction linings on its free side faces and possibly peripheral faces. The anti-friction linings, like the co-operating bearing component in question, in particular an outer ring carrying the annular rib, can be subdivided segment-like. The segments can then be released individually from their composite assembly and maintained, in particular provided with new anti-friction linings. A preferred use of this plain bearing is the arrangement thereof between a pylon-supported machine head and the pylon head of a wind power installation.

Title: Osteocalcin promoter directed adenovirus replicaton for therapy
Inventor: CHUNG LELAND W K
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to replication-competent adenovirus vectors which are specific for cells which allow an osteocalcin transcriptional regulatory sequence to function, such as prostate cancer cells, prostate stromal cells, vascular pericytes, proliferating cancer-associated osteoblasts, and prostate cancer and associated bone stromal cells which fail to express PSA or androgen receptor (AR), and methods of use of such viruses are provided. These viruses comprise an adenoviral gene under control of an osteocalcin transcriptional regulatory sequence. The gene can be, for example, a gene required for adenoviral replication. The viruses can also comprise at least one additional adenoviral gene under control of at least one additional tissue-specific transcriptional regulatory sequence. Thus, virus replication can be restricted to target cells exhibiting osteocalcin gene expression. Such replication-competent adenovirus vectors are useful in the treatment of prostate cancer, brain cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, tumors, osteosarcoma, occular melanoma, lung cancer, or breast cancer.

Title: Acoustic logging apparatus and method
Inventor: VARSAMIS GEORGIOS L
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: The specification discloses a system and related method for determining characteristics of earth formations traversed by a borehole. An acoustic transmitter mounted on a tool, whether that tool is a wireline tool or a logging-while-drilling tool, imparts acoustic energy into the formation, and a plurality of receivers spaced apart from the transmitter and from each other receive acoustic energy responsive to the transmitter firing. Portions, or all, of each received signal are used to estimate source signals using an assumed transfer function. Each of those estimated source signals are then compared in some way to determine an objective function. This process is repeated for multiple assumed transfer functions, and at multiple starting times within the received signals. By searching for minimas of a plot of the objective function, characteristics of the earth formation may be determined.

Patent CA-2423571-A1 (CA)
Title: Tubing saver rotator and method for using same
Inventor: THOMSON MICHAEL A
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 2003-03-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a tubing rotator assembly for attachment to an existing casing head for purposes of suspending and rotating a tubing string in an oil well. In the preferred embodiment, the tubing assembly includes a rotation surface, such as a bearing, in-which a tubing mandrel rests and allows one to rotate the tubing manually above the wellhead. It provides a low profile reducing the distance between the casing head and the pumping tee, which may eliminate the need for one to raise the pumping unit to fit on the rotator. In addition, the conventional seals above the rotation surface have less chance of leaking fluids located between the casing and tubing due to the seals potentially installed in the present invention. In addition, if the conventional seals do start to leak, then one can change the packing rubber without having to remove the tubing rotator assembly or tubing string (thus, not requiring a rig to change the sealing elements). The tubing assembly includes a mandrel bowl that rests inside the casing head. The mandrel bowl has an interior ledge in which the bearing may be placed on top of the ledge. A tubing mandrel is partially contained within the interior of the mandrel bowl with one end exiting the bottom of the bowl and attached to the tubing string in the well, and the opposite end of the tubing mandrel exiting the top of the bowl. The tubing mandrel has a ledge which is rotatably mounted to the mandrel bowl.  Said ledge of the tubing mandrel is supported on the bearing, which bearing rests on the interior ledge of the mandrel bowl. The ledge of the tubing mandrel therefore engages and rotatably rides against the bearing. This arrangement allows the tubing to rotate by rotating the tubing mandrel resting on the bearing located inside the mandrel bowl.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a soluble coffee beverage powder, which, up on the addition of water, is forming a coffee beverage having a foamed upper surface. In particular the invention relates to a soluble coffee beverage which closely assimilates the texture characteristics of an Italian espresso , namely a beverage with a fine crema, but which has a reduced bitterness compared with freshly brewed espresso but which nevertheless is strong in aroma. The soluble coffee beverage powder is characterised by a soluble gas containing matrix comprising between 10 % and 35 % soluble coffee solids by weight of the total dry matter of the matrix, from about 10 % to about 35 % pre-flocculated creamer by weight, from about 12 % to about 30 % oligosaccharides effective to dilute protein in the creamer by weight. The soluble beverage powder upon reconstituting provides a foamed upper surface based upon all of the ingredients, and in which the foamed upper layer substantially all of the foam is made up of bubbles having a diameter in the  range of 0.05 to 0.5 mm. For a particular good aroma the soluble coffee beverage powder comprises aqueous aroma. In another aspect, the invention relates to a process for making such a product.
