20120221021	COUPLING SYSTEM, APPLICATOR TOOL, ATTACHMENT RING AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING A CONDUIT TO BIOLOGICAL TISSUE - A coupling system includes an applicator tool and an attachment ring mounted on the applicator tool. Clips are contained within the applicator tool and are deployed through the attachment ring in order to anchor the attachment ring to biological tissue. When deployed, tips of the clips follow a curved trajectory through an annular cuff of the attachment ring and through the underlying tissue. The tips loop back out of the tissue and to a location where they are later trapped or clamped by the attachment ring. While the tips are trapped or clamped, the applicator tool cinches the clips by pulling rear segments of the clips. Thereafter, the applicator tool disconnects from the attachment ring which remains anchored to the tissue and serves as a coupling for a cannula. The cannula can have movable lock members that secure it to the attachment ring.	08-30-2012

20090326798	METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMISING ROUTES PROVIDED BY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS - A method of controlling a navigation system. Navigation systems which are capable of gathering historical information concerning routes taken by a number of individual vehicles are known. Such systems rely on a central database to analyse and store the historical information of all the participating vehicles. The central database can therefore suggest an improved route to a vehicle based on the analysis of the information gathered from the participating vehicles. However, as the central database analyses historical information received from a number of different types of vehicles (e.g. delivery trucks, taxis, motorbikes etc.), the routes suggested by the system are often inappropriate for a specific type of vehicle. For example, a route which is appropriate for a motorbike is often not appropriate for a truck, and vice versa. A method of controlling a navigation system is provided which builds up historical information of routes taken by a vehicle and uses this information to provide an appropriate route for the vehicle based upon deviations from suggested routes stored upon a mobile computer unit of the navigation system of the vehicle.	12-31-2009

20110036580	OIL RECOVERY BY SEQUENTIAL WATERFLOODING WITH OIL REINJECTION AND OIL RELOCATION - A method for enhancing oil recovery from reservoirs is described. The method includes partially recharging zones of pore space in a reservoir that has been previously waterflooded to extract oil, in order to obtain increased ultimate oil recovery by re-waterflooding the recharged zones. The recharging may be achieved by either reinjection of oil or by change in injection scheme, such as changing an oil producing well to a water injection well. This procedure of recharging with oil followed by waterflooding may be repeated. Application of the present method to increase recovery from reservoirs producing dry (water-free) oil to mature reservoirs which produce at high water-to-oil ratios is anticipated.	02-17-2011
20130025853	SINGLE-WELL DIAGNOSTICS AND INCREASED OIL RECOVERY BY OIL INJECTION AND SEQUENTIAL WATERFLOODING - A method for residual oil recovery from oil reservoirs, and diagnostic tests for determining its efficiency using a single well are described. The method includes injecting oil into a well in a reservoir that has been previously waterflooded or an oil reservoir or zone of an oil reservoir which contains immobile oil at the time of discovery, and extracting the oil by waterflooding the charged zones by placing the injection well in production. The target zone from which oil is recovered may be increased by following injection of oil with injection of water to push an oil bank which grows in volume as a function of distance of propagation, because of the effect of waterflooding on residual oil. The well may then be placed in production and the oil bank volume will continue to increase in volume as it returns to the well, again because of the waterflooding effect. The oil bank is then produced at the surface. The double-sweep waterflooding process using a single well can be repeated by again charging with oil followed by waterflooding. Sequential injection of oil and water to generate more than one oil bank may also be used to increase oil recovery by multiple sequential waterfloods. Combinations of oil injection and sequential waterflooding also have application to reservoir diagnostics.	01-31-2013
20130168324	RETRACTION OF OIL SLICKS USING SURFACTANTS - A method for retracting oil on a water surface, and a method for reducing the quantity of oil on an oil control boom are described. Spreading of oil can be reversed by reducing the surface tension of the seawater, for example by using a low concentration of a water-soluble surfactant, such as a non-ionic surfactant. A controlled amount of the surfactant may be continuously discharged at the inner-wall of a spill control boom surrounding the oil spill. The spilled oil is caused to retract away from the boom toward the center of the area encircled thereby, such that the oil layer becomes sufficiently thick to be more effectively removed mechanically. The surfactant also reduces the amount of oil on the spill control boom, whereby the boom can easily be removed from a remediated oil spill and reused at a later date without further cleaning.	07-04-2013

20090240674	Search Engine Optimization - Topic-centric, dynamically-created web pages are compiled from links to multimedia content elements. Keywords are identified within the content elements and used to identify a set of topics related to the content elements. A query string comprising the keywords is executed against the content elements and in response to a request to display information about a topic the query string associated with the topic is executed against the collection of multimedia content elements to identify content elements related to the topic. A dynamically-created web page is displayed that includes computer-executable links to the set of related multimedia content elements.	09-24-2009

20090070490	Dynamic Characterization of Nodes in a Semantic Network for Desired Functions Such As Search, Discovery, Matching, Content Delivery, and synchronization of Activity and Information - The present invention provides a system of computers on a wide area network that establishes connections between nodes on the basis of their multidimensional similarity at a particular point in time in a certain setting, such as a social learning network, and sends relevant information to the nodes. Dimensions in the definition of similarity include a plurality of attributes in time and community space. Examples of such dimensions and attributes may include a position in a learning community's project cycle, titles of readings and projects, the genre or subject matter under consideration, age, grade or skill level of the participants, and language. The network's nodes are represented as a vector of attributes and are searched efficiently and adaptively through a variety of multidimensional data structures and mechanisms.
