Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the downhole rheological properties of a wellbore fluid. The method includes moving the wellbore fluid through a wellbore tool assembly into a wellbore at a first flow rate. A pressure is measured at a first position proximate a bottom of the wellbore. A pressure is measured at a second position in the wellbore axially separated from the first position. The wellbore fluid is then moved through the wellbore tool assembly at a second flow rate. Measuring pressure at the first and second positions is repeated, and at least one rheological property is determined from the pressure measurements.

Title: Agonistes de recepteur adrenergique, compositions agonistes et procedes permettant de les preparer et de les utiliser
Inventor: FELLER DENNIS R
IPC: C07D217/00
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne des composés qui sont des agonistes très efficaces et très spécifiques du récepteur adrénergique .beta.¿3?. Ces composés sont formulés dans des préparations pharmaceutiques et sont administrés pour stimuler, réguler et moduler le métabolisme des graisses dans des tissus adipeux d'animaux, en particulier chez les humains et d'autres mammifères. Ces composés présentent la structure suivante : formule A dans laquelle R¿1? et R¿2? désignent chacun indépendamment l'un de l'autre, des membres sélectionnés comprenant H, OH, Cl, NO¿2?, CH¿2?SO¿2?NH, NH¿2?, CH¿3?O et des acides inférieurs de la structure R¿7?-NH, où R¿7? désigne un groupe acyle, où au moins R¿1? et R2 désignent OH. De manière générale, il est préférable que R¿2? désigne OH ; que R¿3?, R¿4? et R¿5? désignent indépendamment les uns des autres et différemment les uns des autres des membres sélectionnés dans le groupe comprenant I, Br, Cl, F, OCH¿3?, CH¿3?, alkyle, alkylaryle, aminoalkyle, thioalkyle et O-alkyle. R¿4? et R¿5? désignent de préférence chacun un halogène, identique ou différent, R¿6? désigne une fraction acide qui forme un sel acide avec le groupe NH. Il est souhaitable que R¿6? désigne HCl ou (COOH)¿2?. Alors que les mélanges racémiques sont actifs, sélectifs et biodisponibles, nous avons observé que les isomères isolés relèvent habituellement d'un intérêt particulier. Les S(-)-isomères ont la préférence car ils présentent la plus grande sélectivité et la plus grande biodisponibilité. Les R(+)isomères présentent également un intérêt, du fait que les R-isomères sont dans certains cas plus aisés à isoler. Les composés sont formulés dans des excipients pharmaceutiques afin d'être utilisés comme agonistes très sélectifs, efficaces et fiables du récepteur adrénergique .beta.¿3? afin de garantir une surveillance du poids à long terme. Chez l'homme, ces compositions sont administrées afin de réguler les niveaux d'adiposité et de maintenir des niveaux d'adiposité acceptable dans le temps. Chez les animaux domestiques, ces compositions sont administrées afin d'obtenir une faible teneur en graisse dans les viandes en carcasse destinées à l'alimentation humaine.

Patent CA-2398982-A1 (CA)
Title: Semipermeable coating for building materials
Inventor: SHAW WAYNE E
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 2001-02-01
Abstract: The present invention provides coating materials (14), insulation-containing building material products bearing the materials and methods for applying the coatings to the building material products. The coating materials (14) possess one-way "breathability" c haracteristics with respect to water and aqueous solutions.  That is, the coatings are essentially impermeable to liquid water and permeable to water vapor. Vapor from water insulation coated by the material may thus pass through the coating, whereas liquid water is effectively prevented from passing through the coating and entering the insulation.

Title: Compositions and methods for treating heart disease
Inventor: PENNINGER JOSEF
IPC: A61K31/352
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: The PTEN/PI3K signaling pathway regulates a vast array of fundamental cellular responses. We show that cardiomyocyte-specific inactivation of tumor suppressor PTEN results in hypertrophy, and unexpectedly, a dramatic decrease in cardiac contractility. Analysis of double mutant mice revealed that the cardiac hypertrophy and the contractility defects can be genetically uncoupled. PI3K.gamma. mediates the alteration in cell size while PI3K.gamma.acts as a negative regulator of cardiac contractility. Mechanistically, PI3K.gamma.  inhibits cAMP production and hypercontractility can be reverted by blocking cAMP function. These data show that PTEN has an important in vivo role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and GPCR signaling and identify a function for the PTEN-PI3K.gamma. pathway in the modulation of heart muscle contractility.

Title: Method and apparatus for compressing and transmitting high speed data
Inventor: KURTZ SCOTT DAVID
IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 1997-11-04
Abstract: Two-related voiceband compression techniques are employed in order to enable an RF telecommunications system to accommodate data signals of high speed voiceband modems and FAX machines. A High Speed Codec enables the telecommunications system to pass voiceband modem and FAX transmissions at up to 9.6 kb/s. An Ultra-High Speed Codec supports voiceband modem and FAX transmissions up to 14.4 kb/s. The High Speed Codec operates using three 16-phase RF slots or four 8-phase RF slots, and the Ultra-High Speed Codec operates using four 16-phase RF slots. Because these codecs transmit information over several RF slots which can be contiguous, the slots within RF communication channels are dynamically allocated. The Dynamic Timeslot/Bandwidth Allocation feature detects and monitors the data transmission and forms a data channel from the necessary number of slots.

Patent CA-2415570-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREGO GIORGIO
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: A method for transmitting signals, and digital signals in particular, from a given point such as a base station (BS) to a terminal such as a mobile communications network terminal (T) envisages that said terminal (T) generates pulse signals at determined instants. The base station (BS) detects the received waveforms, which have been altered as a result of phenomena such as multipath propagation, for example. The waveforms thus detected are subjected to phase conjugation, e.g., in the form of time reversal. Transmission form the base station (BS) to the terminal (T) takes place using waveforms corresponding to the phase conjugated waveforms thus obtained. In this way, a waveform corresponding to that of the aforesaid pulse signals can be reconstituted at terminal (T). Reconstitution takes place only at the geographical position occupied by the terminal (T), without requiring the base station to track the terminal's geographical location and without the need to divide geographical areas into cells in order to permit frequency reuse.
