Abstract: A system and method for lessening impact on Christmas trees (10) during downhole operations involving Christmas trees (10), by way of example and no t limitation such as cementing processes. The system comprises an outer housin g (20) defining a chamber, a lubricator (23) assembly disposed in the outer housing, and an inner sleeve slidably disposable within the chamber. The method uses the system of the present invention by inserting the inner sleev e (50) into the lubricator assembly (23); lowering the inner sleeve (50) into the Christmas tree (10) to a predetermined position extending into a tubing hanger (13) associated with the tree; introducing fluids through a fluid lin e coupled to the lubricator assembly, the fluids passing through a conduit (53 ) within the inner sleeve (50) into the wellbore; and retrieving the lubricato r assembly upon completion of fluid introduction into the wellbore. In alternative embodiments, the inner sleeve (50) may be retracted and withdraw n with the lubricator (23) assembly upon completion of fluid introduction into the wellbore.

Abstract: A system and method for avoiding a single point of failure in the broadcast of streaming data. The system uses multiple redundant servers (10, 12) streaming the exactly same data to a failover device (16). The failover device buffers (20P, 20S) the streams into a primary and secondary data stream and automatically switches from the primary to the secondary data stream if it detects a corruption in the primary data stream. Since the buffered data packets of the two streams are identical and are synchronized, there is not outage for multicast receivers when the primary data source fails since there is a switch to exactly the same data in the next packet of the secondary data stream.

Granted: 2008-03-18
Abstract: A recovery method for specific micromaterials such as DNA  molecules, cells, microorganisms and the like, approximately several µm in size, from a mixture containing other micromaterials is presented.   A substance (for example, methylcellulose) that undergoes a reversible gel to sol phase transition is utilized, and a micromaterial is accurately and conveniently recovered. The present invention is a method of recovering a desired micromaterial in a system comprising a medium that undergoes a reversible phase transition between a sol and a gel, a support material and micromaterials, comprising the steps of converting the medium surrounding the micromaterial to be recovered into a gel locally to immobilize said micromaterial on said support along with the gelled medium, removing the medium and micromaterials not immobilized on said support material and converting the gelled medium to a sol to recover the micromaterial.

Abstract: A swirling device is positioned in the intake passageway for air entering the carburetor or fuel injection subsystem. The swirling of the air provides more complete mixing of the air and fuel entering the combustion chamber of the engine thereby providing more complete combustion of the fuel mixture. When utilized to swirl exhaust fluid flow, the device is positioned in the exhaust passageway for exhaust gases exiting the manifold. The swirling of the exhaust gas minimizes slowing of the exhaust gas flow through the exhaust system to reduce back pressure and thereby provide more complete combustion. The device includes a set of flat planar vanes which are mounted within a housing.
