20100282083 | Disinfecting air filter - Disclosed is an air purification filter with novel active media that attracts, migrates, binds, and destroys pathogens, including sub-micron pathogens, that are suspended in the air passing through the filter. These properties are incorporated in the micro-fibers comprising the active filter media by several novel methods. One embodiment uses polymers or solgel bound monomers of quaternary ammonium compounds as a biocide with both chemotactic and pathogen membrane lysing properties. Another embodiment uses biocide chemicals blended into the melt before filter fibers are extruded and electret dipole charged. The attracting-binding properties of the embodiments may be enhanced by including electropositive Boehmite nano-fiber strands in the active media, by coating a reversible voltage charged electro-conductive polymer, by the use of supplemental fusing and lysing chemicals, and by optional ion field charging of incoming pathogens. | 11-11-2010 |

20100082979 | METHOD FOR THE PROVISION OF A NETWORK SERVICE - Methods and systems provide for sharing information between computer networks in which the information to be shared is required at one location (e.g. for the provision of a data-processing service) but is only available at a separate location. The information may be deliberately absent (e.g. for privacy reasons) or may be unavailable as an artifact of the computer network(s) involved. For the provision of a data-processing service, where several different devices on one network may service contiguous requests from a client device on another network according to a load-balancing strategy, data is propagated once only through the service network. Network communication software is subsequently amended to provide the minimal information necessary for a device on the service network to retrieve the information pertinent to the client device and necessary for its service. Therefore, a web-based single sign-on scheme can operate over HTTP to authorize data-processing services, such as web-filtering services. | 04-01-2010 |
20100162400 | MALWARE DETECTION - The invention provides methods and systems for detecting exploits. A received file is examined to determine whether or not it corresponds to any of one or more predetermined models of normal file types. If the received file does not correspond to any of the one or more predetermined models of normal file types, it is flagged as a potential exploit. | 06-24-2010 |
20130067098 | Remote Access to Resources - The invention provides systems and methods for securely transmitting data between a roaming computer and a managed network service over a shared public network. A secure connection is created between the roaming computer and a server computer that hosts or acts as a secure gateway to the managed network service. The connection is set up and established by a client agent installed on the roaming computer and a connection component of the managed service on the server computer. The client agent and the connection component of the managed service operate, on an initial request from the roaming computer to the managed service to negotiate the secure connection using certificate-based client authentication. The client certificate preferably includes user-specific attributes that can be extracted by the connection component and made available to the managed service to apply processing rules specific to the user. | 03-14-2013 |

20100132942 | HYDROCARBON RESERVOIR TREATMENT METHOD WITH HYDROCARBONS - A hydrocarbon well treatment fluid is made recyclable by introducing a laminar flow enhancer into the fluid, resulting in a formulation called Slick Oil™ hydrocarbon fluid. A method of using a fluid in the treatment of a hydrocarbon reservoir is disclosed. A hydrocarbon fluid is injected into the hydrocarbon reservoir, the hydrocarbon fluid comprising hydrocarbons and a hydrophobic laminar flow enhancer. The hydrocarbon fluid is recovered from the hydrocarbon reservoir. The recovered hydrocarbon fluid is then cleaned by removing contaminants from the recovered hydrocarbon fluid that have been introduced into the hydrocarbon fluid from the hydrocarbon reservoir. The hydrocarbon fluid is then re-used by injecting the cleaned and recovered hydrocarbon fluid into at least one subsequent hydrocarbon reservoir. Proppant carrying abilities of a hydrocarbon fracturing fluid are enhanced by introducing a laminar flow enhancer into the fluid, resulting in a formulation called Slick Oil™ hydrocarbon fluid. | 06-03-2010 |

20090167302 | Time-Lapsed Diffusivity Logging for Monitoring enhanced Oil Recovery - The use of time-lapsed NMR diffusivity measurements in an observation well is disclosed. The observation well is cased in the zone of interest with non-magnetic and non-conductive casing that is invisible to the NMR tool. Second, because NMR measurements have a dead zone in front of the antenna depending on the spatial variation of the fixed magnet strength, for example about 2.7 inches, a distance between the casing and the formation is reduced to less than the dead zone length by drilling the observation well at small deviation of about 5° and running the casing without centralizers. Both the casing and the pad-type NMR tool will follow the low side of the borehole, ensuring the measurement volume of the NMR tool is inside the formation and beyond the annulus. With the appropriate observation well completion, time-lapse diffusivity measurements with pad-type NMR tools can address several shortcomings in the current practice of monitoring EOR processes that rely upon changes in density and hydrogen index (HI). Various uses of NMR imaging in wells cased with non-metallic casing are also disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
