| 20110045204 | COATING PROCESS AND COATED PRODUCTS - A surface treatment material useful in making coatings to be applied to fomitic surfaces to inhibit the proliferation of microorganisms, especially bacteria, comprises a photocatalytic component consisting of a metal oxide catalyst together with a metal dopant acting as an upconversion luminescence agent, for example based upon ErCl | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100217051 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOLS - A process utilising the gases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce alcohols directly, comprises the steps of bringing a fluid mixture comprising carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen into contact with the surfaces of a supported tubular porous catalyst membrane having a range of pore sizes including micropores, mesopores and macropores, controlling the temperature of the said catalyst membrane, maintaining a pressure over said catalyst membrane of from 88 to 600 kPa, and recovering alcohol containing product formed by contact of the fluid mixture with said catalyst membrane. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100151508 | COMPOUNDS - Flavonoid-type compounds of the Formula (II); in which R | 06-17-2010 |
| 20090112211 | Method of bone surgery - A method of bone surgery including drilling a first bore in a near cortex of the bone with a first drill bit. Then a second drill bit is passed though the first bore towards a far cortex of the bone, the second drill bit comprising a distal shaft portion and a proximal shaft portion, the distal shaft portion having a diameter less than a diameter of the proximal shaft portion such that a shoulder is defined between the distal and proximal shaft portions. Then a second bore is drilled in the far cortex of the bone with the distal shaft portion of the second drill bit whilst the second drill bit is received in the first bore. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090012561 | Tissue Anchor - The invention provides a tissue anchor comprising a first portion and a second portion. At least one point is provided on the first portion and a resilient device is provided between the first and second portions. The one or more points on the first portion can be sharpened and capable of penetrating dense tissue. The resilient device biases the first and second portions apart from one another in order to urge them into a second open configuration. The first and second portions are movable to a closed delivery configuration. The first and second portions are urged towards one another against the bias of the resilient device in the closed delivery configuration. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20080289875 | Method and System for the Design of an Oil Well - The invention is concerned with the design of oil wells by defining a number of design parameters, some of which are interdependent. The invention makes use of successive optimizations. Input data are selected for a first parameter and varied to achieve a first optimisation. The process is repeated for a second parameter whose input data includes the first parameter, and then repeated for each other of the defined parameters. The design parameters may be presented to the user via a graphical interface such as a virtual reality view. | 11-27-2008 |
