Title: Roller driven solution circulator
Inventor: MACKENZIE ADAM
IPC: C12M1/02
Filed: 2006-05-12
Abstract: In a tool for incubating solutions on a membrane in biochemistry, it is known to a have solution containing container and some means of circulating said solution. In this invention the container is a sealed, reasonably air free bag with a valve for changing solvents that contains the membrane and the fluid. This bag is placed in a roller driven solution circulator which can be suspended via an upper hook portion.

Abstract: Scheduled data is received and distributed in a system, such as a DSDD system.  A schedule director receives a schedule representing inventory of data available from a data source and desired times for distributing the data. The schedule director coordinates with one or more resource managers that maintain information regarding resource utilization in the system. The schedule director negotiates with the resource managers to reserve resources in the system for receiving the scheduled data from the data source, storing the received data, and/or preparing the received data for delivery to a user.  Resources are reserved based on the schedule and the resources determined to be available. The resources are reserved to perform at least one task, independent of other resources in the system.

Title: Gas-assisted electrosurgical accessory connector and method with improved gas sealing and biasing for maintaining a gas tight seal
Inventor: GONNERING WAYNE J
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2005-02-09
Abstract: Male and female mating pieces of a gas-assisted electrosurgical accessory connector are connectable together by radially contacting a sealing surface formed on one mating piece with a resilient radially-compressible sealing member carried on the other mating piece. A gas-tight seal exists along a length of the sealing surface as the two mating pieces connect with relative connection movement. The existence of the gas-tight seal over a range of relative connection movement maintains the seal if the mating pieces should become slightly disconnected. The mating pieces are also restrained against separation from one another. A recess is formed in one of the mating pieces and a retention member carried on the other one of the mating pieces is biased into contact with the recess. Separation of the two connected members requires manual force to extract the retention member from the recess. The amount of manual force required is greater than that normally experienced from movement during use, thereby inhibiting unintentional separation.

Abstract: A shock tool is adapted to a bottom hole tool assembly for isolating a zone in a subterranean formation accessed by a wellbore. Fracturing fluid such as nitrogen is accumulated at fracturing pressures uphole of the shock tool for subsequent and rapid release to the formation. Coal bed methane seams are particularly well suited to such a shock fracturing methodology. The tool assembly can be suspended from a conveyance string in which fluid is accumulated for shock release through a valve of the shock tool and through an injection tool to the zone isolated by the injection tool. After a first zone is shocked, the tool assembly can be moved to a new zone, or multiple shocks can be applied cyclically at the selected zone.
