20090283258 | CONTINUOUS FIBERS FOR USE IN HYDRAULIC FRACTURING APPLICATIONS - Methods and related systems are described for use with hydraulic fracturing and other oilfield applications. A tool body is positioned in a wellbore at a location near a subterranean rock formation being fractured. The tool body contains a plurality of deployable continuous fibers. At least some of the deployable continuous fibers are deployed into fractures within a subterranean rock formation. Each deployed fiber is continuous from the tool body to the rock formation. The number of deployable continuous fibers provides sufficient redundancy to make at least a target measurement relating to the fracturing process. | 11-19-2009 |
20090283259 | SENSING AND MONITORING OF ELONGATED STRUCTURES - Methods and related systems are described for use with a wireline tool system including a wireline cable designed to deploy a wireline tool into a wellbore from the surface, the wireline cable having one or more conducting members for communication between the wireline tool and the surface; and a plurality of sensing elements located on the wireline cable in a spaced apart fashion along substantially the entire length of the wireline cable, each sensing element being in communication with one or more adjacent sensing elements. | 11-19-2009 |
20090283261 | CONTINUOUS FIBERS FOR USE IN WELL COMPLETION, INTERVENTION, AND OTHER SUBTERRANEAN APPLICATIONS - Methods and related systems are described for use with continuous fiber based system for use with well bore completions comprising: a plurality of continuous fibers deployable into a portion of a well bore completion; a fiber management module adapted and positioned within the borehole to facilitate deployment of and communication with the plurality of continuous fibers; wherein the number of deployable continuous fibers provides sufficient redundancy to make at least a target measurement relating to the completion. | 11-19-2009 |

20090093471 | Methods of Treating Nervous Disorders - The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating nervous disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Rac1 inhibitors. The invention may be used in mammalian subjects, particularly human subjects, at various stages of the disease, including disease onset. The invention also provides methods of producing, identifying, selecting or optimising compounds for use in the treatment of amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac 1. | 04-09-2009 |
20090216014 | NOVEL COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF TREATING CELL PROLIFERATIVE DISEASES, RETINOPATHIES AND ARTHRITIS - The present invention relates to compounds and their uses, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The invention discloses compounds having anti-proliferative and antiangiogenic activities, as well as methods for treating various diseases associated with abnormal cell proliferation, including cancer, or associated with unregulated angiogenesis including growth and metastasis of solid tumors, ocular diseases and especially retinopathies, or arthritis, by administering said compounds. It further deals with pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds, more particularly useful to treat cancers (such as leukemia), ocular diseases and arthritis. | 08-27-2009 |
