Title: Aqueous displacement fluid injection for enhancing oil recovery from an oil bearing formation
Inventor: LIGTHELM DIRK JACOB
IPC: C09K8/58
Filed: 2010-02-11
Abstract: A method for enhancing recovery of crude oil from a porous subterranean formation of which the pore spaces contain crude oil and connate water comprises: - determining the Ionic Strength (Mo1/1) of the connate water; and - injecting an aqueous displacement fluid having a lower Ionic Strength (Mo1/1) than the connate water into the formation, which aqueous displacement fluid furthermore has an Ionic Strength below 0.15 Mo1/1.

Title: A tubular connector
Inventor: VERITY MILTON HOPE
IPC: F16L37/113
Filed: 2010-11-17
Abstract: A connector comprises first and second tubular couplers (3, 5) and a tubular locking collar (7), the locking collar comprising at least one radially extending locking rib (47, 49) comprising longitudinally opposed locking faces. Each coupler is formed with a respective locking formation (15), the connector being arranged such that each coupler can be mated together such that each locking formation is adjacent a respective one of the locking faces of the locking rib. Rotation of the collar (7) relative to the couplers (3, 5) is operative to cause each locking formation to engage with a respective locking face to lock the couplers together such that relative movement between each coupler and the collar along the longitudinal axis is resisted. Thus the collar and couplers are arranged when locked together to prevent relative rotation between the couplers, and also to prevent relative longitudinal movement between the couplers.

Title: Nuclear magnetic resonance logging tool having an array of antennas
Inventor: MORYS MARIAN L
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2010-06-16
Abstract: Various disclosed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging systems and methods employ an array of antennas to provide increased resolution without sacrificing signal-to-noise ratio. Certain method embodiments include: establishing a static magnetic field (BO) with a tool moving along a borehole through a formation; concurrently driving a multiple antenna cells to produce a radio frequency field (Bl) in said formation; measuring an individual response from each antenna cell as nuclear spins undergo precession in the formation; and determining at least one characteristic relaxation time of the formation based at least in part on the individual response. The individual responses can be associated with positions where the individual responses were measured, and the relaxation time can be determined from a combination of those responses associated with a given position. Certain responses may be excluded due to tool motion that degrades the measured response.

Title: Chimeric plant receptors comprising LRR domains from two different receptors
Inventor: ALBERT MARKUS
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 2012-09-11
Abstract: The present invention pertains to novel artificially designed plant receptors and artificially designed ligands binding thereto. Based on the molecular architecture of plant leucine rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR-RK), new functional receptor-ligand pairs were designed by using the sequences of elongation factor Tu receptor (EFR) and its ligand epitope peptide elf18. The artificial plant receptors of the invention comprise an extracellular leucine rich repeat domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular kinase domain, wherein the LRR domain comprising two LRR domains, one from receptor R1 that binds ligand L1, and one from receptor R2 that cannot bind L1. The intracellular domain and transmembrane domain are preferably from the brassinosteroid-insensitive receptor. A further embodiment provides artificial proteins that can bind the receptor, such as variants and mutants of the elf18 peptide

Title: Method and apparatus for providing routing
Inventor: TURTINEN SAMULI
IPC: H04W92/20
Filed: 2013-05-29
Abstract: A base station broadcasts a list of cell IDs with which it can establish a local routing path, which may be directly between neighbouring base stations without support of the core network. A first user equipment UE which has discovered a second UE in a neighbouring cell determines whether a cell ID of the second UE is on the cell ID list. When the cell ID of the second UE is on the cell ID list, the first UE sends to the base station an indication for establishment of the local routing path for communication, the local routing path being between the first cell serving the first UE and the second cell serving the second UE. The first UE may discover the second UE by means of direct radio signals between them. The second UE may convey its cell ID in its discovery signal.
