20100051284 | Valve trigger for downhole tools - An actuator device for setting a downhole tool comprises a piston disposed in an upper reservoir of the device, the piston comprising two actuation areas upon which pressure acts to move the piston. The upper reservoir is in fluid communication with a lower reservoir through a valve that initially restricts the flow of fluid from the first reservoir to the second reservoir. In setting a downhole tool, fluid pressure initially acts on the first actuation area to slowly move the piston toward a set position. After a predetermined length of movement of the piston, the second actuation area is placed in fluid communication with a pressure such that the valve no longer restricts the flow of fluid through the valve, i.e., the total pressure acting on the piston is increased. This increased pressure rapidly moves the piston to actuate, or set, the downhole tool. | 03-04-2010 |
20120255741 | ANNULAR CIRCULATION VALVE AND METHODS OF USING SAME - Valves comprise a chamber having a piston disposed therein. One side of the piston defines a hydrostatic chamber in fluid communication with an outside environment, such as wellbore annulus, through a port. Operatively associated with the piston on the other side is a sleeve in sliding engagement with an inner mandrel. The inner mandrel comprises a port that is initially blocked by the sleeve. Upon an increase in pressure within the annulus, the piston is moved causing the port in the sleeve to align with the port in the inner mandrel thereby allowing fluid to flow from the annulus into the bore of the inner mandrel. As a result, fluid can be circulated through the valve, or pressure within the annulus can be reduced. A return member is operatively associated with the piston to urge the piston toward the closed position after pressure within the wellbore annulus is reduced. | 10-11-2012 |

20110091488 | WATER-SWELLABLE POLYMERS - A pharmaceutical controlled release composition in solid dosage form is provided which comprises (I) a water-swellable linear polymer obtainable by reacting together: (a) a dried polyethylene oxide; (b) a dried C | 04-21-2011 |
20120302635 | Water-Swellable Polymers - A water-swellable linear polyurethane polymer is formed by reacting a polyethylene oxide (e.g. PEG 4000 to 35,000), a difunctional compound (e.g. a diamine or diol such as 1,10-decanediol) with a diisocyanate. The ratio of the three components is generally in the range 0.1-1.5 to 1 to 1.1-2.5. The polyurethane is water-swellable in the range 300 to 1700% and soluble in certain organic solvents such as dichloromethane. It can be loaded with pharmaceutically active agents, particularly of high molecular weight, to produce controlled release compositions, such as pessaries etc. | 11-29-2012 |

20090215110 | WATER MONITORING SYSTEMS - The invention relates to a continuous water monitoring system, including components thereof, and a method relating thereto for continuously monitoring, in real-time, a water supply in order to detect contaminants therein. The system employs the use of a live culture of bioluminescent bacteria and suitable light detecting means. | 08-27-2009 |
20090269836 | Apparatus and Method for Analysing a Biological Sample in Response to Microwave Radiation - Apparatus and method of exposing a chemical, biological or biochemical sample to radiation. A sample in liquid or vapour phase is segmented and conveyed along a sample path. At least one generator or source for generating electromagnetic radiation is directed at the sample and at least one of reflected, emitted and transmitted radiation is measured at least one point along the sample path. In one embodiment, the sample is a luminescent culture produced by a continuous culture system. | 10-29-2009 |
