| 20120074945 | PROXIMITY DETECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM - The invention concerns a proximity detection of buried conductive structures before or while digging in areas being excavated. By means of the enclosed methods, devices, and setups, the ability and accuracy of the detection of underground structures, such as conduits, pipes, etc. is improved by conductively applying a current into the structure through the soil. The thereby emitted electromagnetic field is detected by a movable detection- unit over ground. According to this electromagnetic field the detection-unit can determine the proximity of the structure and issue a warning signal. This warning signal helps an operator of an earth moving machine to avoid a collision with the structure. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20110000795 | ELECTROCHEMICAL DATA REJECTION METHODOLOGY - A method is provided for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample which comprises: a) performing an electrochemical test comprising: (i) contacting the sample with an electrochemical cell comprising at least two electrodes; and (ii) obtaining at least one group of three or more measurements of an electrochemical parameter from the cell, wherein each measurement in each at least one group is obtained at a different time; b) deriving from said at least one group of three or more measurements a single value that is indicative of the time-dependent behavior of the measured parameter; c) comparing the single value indicative of the time-dependent behavior of the measured parameter with a pre-determined range of acceptable time-dependent behaviors; d) determining whether the test is acceptable based on the result of said comparison; e) optionally repeating the above-mentioned steps; and 0 determining the concentration of the analyte from the measurements obtained from the acceptable test or acceptable tests. Also provided is a device on which such a method can be performed and a computer program suitable for performing the data rejection methodology comprised in the method. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080274475 | HLA-E BINDING - The invention relates to a method of testing a compound for biological activity, which method comprises providing cells expressing one of the CD94/NKG2 family of receptors, contacting the cells with recombinant HLA-E under binding conditions in the presence of the test compound, and determining whether the presence of the compound affects the binding of HLA-E to the cells. The HLA-E property of binding to CD94/NKG2 receptors on NK cells and a subset of CD8+ T cells is useful for targeting CD94/NKG2+ cells for a variety of purposes such as identification, isolation, killing or inactivation. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20090173541 | ROTARY STEERABLE TOOL - A rotary steerable tool for use in a downhole drilling apparatus for adjusting the direction of drilling is disclosed. The tool comprises a tubular outer housing and a row of steering pushers slidably mounted to the housing for movement between an extended position, in which the steering pusher engages a wall of a borehole formed by the drilling apparatus, and a withdrawn position, in which the steering pushers do not engage the wall of the borehole. A tubular sleeve is mounted inside the housing to transmit rotary drive to a drilling bit. A pressure chamber defined between the sleeve and the housing communicates with the steering pushers to move the steering pushers to the extended position. A piston is slidably mounted in the sleeve and is moved by changes in drilling fluid pressure between a first axial position, in which the interior of the sleeve communicates directly with the pressure chamber for directional drilling, and a second axial position, in which the interior of the sleeve does not communicate directly with the pressure chamber for straight drilling. | 07-09-2009 |
