Patent GB-2489496-A (GB)
Title: Tissue engineering scaffold
Inventor: JAMES STUART LAURENCE
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 2011-03-31
Abstract: A tissue engineering scaffold for application to a wound comprises a tissue regeneration matrix layer 1 for contacting the wound and a protective backing element 2 bonded to the tissue regeneration matrix layer. The tissue regeneration matrix layer is formed from a porous biodegradable material which takes up cellular material from the wound and supports tissue generation, whilst the protective backing element is formed from a water-impermeable material. The protective backing element is provided with at least one cavity therein containing an aqueous medium, the cavity being in fluid communication with the tissue regeneration matrix layer so that one or more biomarker substances absorbed by the tissue regeneration matrix layer can diffuse into the aqueous medium within the cavity. To monitor the progress of wound healing the aqueous medium is withdrawn from the cavity for analysis to identify one or more biomarkers in the aqueous medium. Preferably, the backing element is formed from a silicone polymer, whilst the tissue regeneration layer may comprise a collagen or gelatine cryogel. The cavity can be a bubble accessible by a syringe needle to extract the aqueous medium.

Title: Tap off for frequency multiplexed emergency guard sub-channels using piezoelectric SAW filters
Inventor: STRICKLAND LAWRENCE P
IPC: H03H9/00
Filed: 2011-05-26
Abstract: Emergency guard sub-channels can be used for transmitting distress calls and the like, and therefore continuous monitoring is advantageous. The invention comprises a (de)multiplexer 30 that taps off the emergency guard channel from the main channel 50 that feeds a main receiver 28. The multiplexer comprises two piezoelectric filters 36a/b set to the emergency guard frequencies 121.5MHz and 243MHz. The filters may be of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) type, may have four or six poles and are preferably small (less than 7*7*26mm). Sub-signal receiver 32 will process the tapped off signal and may include a filter selector switch. The claims cover any arrangement of any number of piezoelectric filters for tapping off a signal.

Title: TDMA is applied to a quantum communication system, allowing multiple transmitters to share a single receiver
Inventor: ZHILIANG YUAN
IPC: H04B10/272
Filed: 2011-06-17
Abstract: This invention provides a quantum communication system in which multiple transmitters 23 transmit quantum communication signals to a single receiver 21. A timing mechanism is adopted which ensures that a detector of the receiver receives a signal from only one transmitter at a time, and which allows the receiver to identify the sending transmitter. This appears to be in effect a time division multiple access system (TDMA). The signals from the transmitters are combined in a combining device 24 and the multiplexed signals are sent along a single channel to the detector. The combining device may be an Nx1 passive optical coupler, a fast optical switch, a switchable MEMS mirror or a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM).

Title: Continuous casting apparatus with ingot contacting seals
Inventor: JACQUES MICHAEL P
IPC: B22D11/14
Filed: 2011-06-28
Abstract: Apparatus for continuous casting of an ingot comprises a first chamber16, a casting mould 20 in the first chamber 16 and a second chamber 300 through which the ingot passes along a pathway from the first chamber 16 into external atmosphere. Seals 312 in the second chamber 300 surround the pathway. In a first apparatus (Fig. 21 )the seals 312 are, in use sequentially forced against the ingot by means of moveable backing members, with each seal 312 being activated in response to the detection of inert gas which originates from the first chamber 16. In a second apparatus (Fig 29) the seals 380 are in use forced against the ingot 79 by vertically compressing the second chamber 386 and thereby decreasing the inner perimeters of the seals 380.

Title: Subterranean screen with varying resistance to flow
Inventor: RICHARD BENNETT M
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2010-02-24
Abstract: A screen section is made with variable resistance to flow in the screen material to balance the flow along the screen length. In one variation different discrete zones have screens configured for different percentages of open area while all have the same particle filtration capability. In another variation discrete portions have differing amounts of overlapping screen portions so as to balance flow without affecting the particle size screened. The cross-sectional shape of a wire wrap imderlayment for the screen is made closer to trapezoidal to decrease the angle of opening for the incoming flow paths toward the base pipe. In this manner flow resistance is reduced and flow is increased due to reduced turbulence.

The side of the hinge end has a latch slot 14 into which the latching block engages when the connecting member and folding member are brought together. The joint is intended to prevent the hands or fingers of a child from being caught when the two parts of the joint are relatively rotated.

Title: Fracturing method to reduce tortuosity
Inventor: O'CONNELL MARIA M
IPC: E21B43/112
Filed: 2011-05-23
Abstract: A series of jet nozzles have a telescoping structure designed to impact the borehole wall and initiate a fracture. The nozzles can be extended through fluid pumped through them or with some mechanical force from within the bottom hole assembly. The leading ends of the telescoping assembly can be sharp and hardened to facilitate the initiation of a formation fracture in an open hole. The telescoping structures can be disposed in a single or multiple rows with the circumferential spacing being such that each telescoping structure is designed to cover a target circumferential distance of 45 degrees or less so that jetted fluid from at least one jet will be within 22.5 degrees of a location of maximum formation stresses to reduce the tortuosity of the created fractures from jetting through the nozzles with possible enhancement of the fracturing from added annulus pressure.

Title: Method of subsurface modelling
Inventor: BERGEY PIERRE
IPC: G01V99/00
Filed: 2013-11-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of modelling a subsurface volume. History data for one or more parameters over a first period of time is obtained. The first period of time comprises a plurality of schedule periods, each schedule period having associated with it a sampled value of the considered parameter at the corresponding time. A merge error value is attributed to plural pairs of consecutive schedule periods, the merge error value representing a magnitude of the error in a merged value of each parameter over the duration corresponding to a pair of schedule periods being considered, relative to the sampled values for said pair of schedule periods being considered. The pair of schedule periods which have the smallest error value attributed thereto is merged, and the merged schedule period has attributed to it, the corresponding merged value of the corresponding parameter. The error value calculation and merger steps are repeated so as to reduce the total number of schedule periods. The method allows finely discretised muti-well, multii parameter history to be upscaled into a coarser support of information, but while still preserving the frequency content of simulated pressure.
