Granted: 2013-05-14
Abstract: A forward link repeater frequency watermarking (FLRFWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A  repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) fast frequency modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the fast frequency watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or AGPS  systems. A forward link fast frequency watermarking system described herein achieves minimal impact on FL, AFLT, and GPS performance, good detection, identification and false alarm probabilities, short time-to-detect/identify, and good detection/identification sensitivity.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des préparations d'aérosol liquide permettant d'engendrer de l'insuline sous forme d'aérosol et contenant de l'insuline et au moins un excipient à volatilité élevée qui sert à protéger l'insuline d'une dégradation thermique pendant la vaporisation de l'excipient. Ce dernier peut constituer un mélange d'éthanol et d'eau et la préparation d'aérosol liquide peut être exempte de propulseur. Un dispositif de génération d'aérosol permet d'engendrer de l'insuline sous forme d'aérosol. Pour ce faire, ladite préparation d'aérosol liquide est acheminée à travers un passage d'écoulement chauffé de manière à convertir le liquide en une vapeur qui entraîne des particules d'insuline qui se mélangent à l'air pour former un aérosol. Ces particules d'insuline peuvent constituer des particules d'insuline sèches produites par un inhalateur manuel. La régulation de la concentration d'insuline dans la préparation, de la taille du passage d'écoulement et/ou de la quantité de chaleur qui chauffe le passage d'écoulement permet de doter l'aérosol d'un diamètre aérodynamique médian massique sélectionné compris entre 1 et 3 ?m ou inférieur à 1 ?m, de manière à être acheminé jusqu'à une partie ciblée du poumon à l'aide de l'inhalateur.

Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device (700) which can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button (780) activation assembly can then be used to remove an interlock (730), allowing a disk or Belleville spring (735) assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly (710). This allows the release of one or more spring-loaded patient needles (760) into the skin surface, and establishes a fluid communication path between the patient needles (760) and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin. The push button (780) activation assembly further allows the release of one or more improved safety mechanisms (794) after use.

Inventor: RECK JOSEPH HENRY
IPC: E21B19/22
Filed: 2006-02-01
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A tubing counter for counting coiled tubing inserted into a well includes an outer housing having a through passage for receiving the coiled tubing therethrough. In some embodiments, pressure rated connectors at both of the ends of the outer housing sealably connect the outer housing in series between the coiled tubing injector head and the outer casing of the well. A plurality of counting wheels are rotatably supported within the outer housing for rolling engagement along coiled tubing inserted through the outer housing while a counting mechanism records a number of rotations of each counting wheel independently of the other wheels to minimize counting errors. Locating the counter below the injector head and below the tubing stripper ensures that the tubing is cleaner and less likely to slip in contact with the counting wheels while also accounting for stretching of the tubing for more accurate measurement.

Abstract: Less conventional sources of hydrocarbon feedstocks such as oil sands, tar sands and shale oils are being exploited. These feedstocks generate a larger amount of heavy oil, gas oil, asphaltene products and the like containing multiple fused aromatic ring compounds. These multiple fused aromatic ring compounds can be converted into feed for a hydrocarbon cracker by first hydrogenating at least one ring in the compounds and subjecting the resulting compound to a ring opening and cleavage reaction. The resulting product comprises lower paraffins suitable for feed to a cracker, higher paraffins suitable for example as a gasoline fraction and mono aromatic ring compounds (e.g. BTX) that may be further treated.
