Patent CA-2302719-C (CA)
Inventor: LORINCZ THOMAS A
IPC: C25F3/16
Filed: 2000-03-28
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: The tube inner surface electropolishing device includes an electrolyte delivery system to cause electrolyte to flow through the tube whose inner surface must be electropolished. An electrical cable having an electrode engaged to its distal end is slowly moved through the tube while an electrical current from a power supply passes through the electrode and the tube wall and the electrolyte flowing therebetween. Several electrode embodiments are disclosed including electrodes that include a chain of elements having alternating insulator and electrode elements, an electrode including a quantity of metallic wool enclosed in a permeable insulating member, and a flexible insulating member formed from a cylindrical tubular section which is axially compressible to produce a series of projecting flexible arms, so that any one section can be compressed to enter a smaller opening than the tube to be polished. An electrolyte dam is coupled to the electrode and controls the flow rate of electrolyte through the tube. The electrolyte dam includes a body, a channel formed in a top portion of the body, and ballast disposed in a bottom portion of the body. The channel facilitates the flow of electrolyte past the dam and the escape of gasses that are evolved during the electropolishing process. The ballast maintains the dam in an upright position as it is drawn through the tube.

Title: Ramp trailer for oil field tubulars
Inventor: EASTCOTT GARNET B
IPC: B60P3/00
Filed: 2000-04-18
Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: The trailer is operative to carry tubulars (drill collars or drill pipe) to a service rig and raise them to the level of the rig floor so that the rig elevators can latch onto them and stand them up in the derrick. The trailer has a roller-equipped carriage operative to move along tracks supported by and extending lengthwise of the trailer frame. An elongate flat bed is pivotally mounted at its front end to the trailer frame. The bed's rear end can be raised by a scissor hoist connected between the carriage and the rear end of the bed. The bed has grooves extending lengthwise thereof in which the tubulars sit. Thus the trailer can be backed up to within a few feet from the well. The rear end of the bed can be raised and the carriage and bed can be advanced rearwardly to bring the rear ends of the tubulars within reach of the rig elevators.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having homology to the <u>PRO533</u> protein and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention, and methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention. The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and/or autocrine signaling. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act of predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. Furthermore, the compounds, compositions including antagonists and methods of the present invention are further expected to have therapeutic effect upon conditions characterized by FgF-19 modulation.

Abstract: A multipurpose hemofiltration system (10) and method are disclosed for the removal of fluid and/or soluble waste from the blood of a patient. The system (10) continuously monitors the flow rates of drained fluid, blood, and infusate. When necessary, the pumping rates of the infusate, drained fluid and blood are adjusted to remove a preselected amount of fluid from the blood in a preselected time period. A supervisory controller (160) can monitor patient parameters, such as heart rate (120) and blood pressure (130), and adjust the pumping rates accordingly. The supervisory controller (160) uses fuzzy logic to make expert decisions, based upon a set of supervisory rules, to control each pumping rate to achieve a desired flow rate and to respond to fault conditions. An adaptive controller (162) corrects temporal variations in the flow rate based upon an adaptive law and a control law.

Abstract: A method for detecting leaks in a fluid system that is located at a volatile and potentially explosive environment such as, but not limited to, the evaporative or air brake system of a motor vehicle. A smoke generating machine (1) produces a supply of smoke (30) to be delivered to the system under test (50). At least some of a mixture (8) of oil and fluorescent dye is heated and vaporized into smoke within a sealed chamber (2). The mixture is blown against a heating element (14) within the sealed chamber (2) by means of non-combustible nitrogen gas (28) so as to avoid the possibility of an explosion. The smoke (30) functions as a carrier for the dye. Some of the smoke (30) which is delivered to the system under test (30) from the chamber (2) will exit a leak (e.g. a hole 52), and the fluorescent dye carried by the smoke will leave a fluorescent trace (54) around the leak. By shining ultraviolet light (58) along the system under test (50), the fluorescent trace (54) around the leak (52) will be illuminated. Accordingly, even small leaks may be quickly, easily and reliably located for repair.
