| 20110229387 | Method for Operating a Regenerative Shaft Furnace for Producing Lime - The invention relates to a method for producing quick lime from lime stone in a continuous regenerative shaft kiln, characterised in that, starting with standard conditions of excessive combustion air for the operation of this kiln, it especially includes a step where the excessive combustion air is progressively reduced until a content greater than 1000 ppm (in volume) of carbon monoxide is reached in the connection flue between the tanks. An increase in the content of gaseous sulphur dioxide is then observed in the gas flue, with respect to a kiln operated in standard conditions. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20080287317 | Yeast arrays, methods of making such arrays, and methods of analyzing such arrays - This patent describes a novel method of detecting genetic interactions in yeast. This method can also be used to screen for function of biological effectors on yeast. The method encompasses crossing yeast strains with genetic alterations to acquire double mutants. The phenotypes of these double mutants are then checked to detect genetic interactions between the double mutants. This method can be used to assign function to yeast genes and their viral, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic homologs, and aptamers. It can also be used to study yeast two hybrid interactions and to find genes that regulate certain yeast promoters. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20090037379 | Method and appliance for XML policy matching - An XML matching engine and method are provided, where policy rules expressed using XPath/XQuery policies are matched to streaming XML documents. Two distinct data structures are used: a combined modified DFA data structure for storing simple XPath queries (no wildcards or descendents) and a modified AFilter structure for storing complex queries (with wildcards or/and descendents). As the matching engine receives XML tags from XML parser, matching is performed in both structures in parallel. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20080261375 | Method of Forming a Semiconductor Device Having a Dummy Feature - A method for forming a semiconductor device includes identifying an area that comprises an active device region, wherein the area has a perimeter at a first location and at least a portion of the edge of the active device region is coincident with at least a portion of the perimeter, expanding the perimeter to a first distance away from the first location, wherein the first distance defines a first point of a dummy feature, determining a second point of the dummy feature, adding the dummy feature to a layout using the first point and the second point, and using the layout to form a layer in a semiconductor device. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080295060 | Method for Forming a Semiconductor Device Using Optical Proximity Correction for the Optical Lithography - A method for forming a semiconductor device includes performing a first optimization of a first edge location of a feature fragment, wherein the first optimization has a first speed per fragment, and performing a second optimization of a second edge location of the feature fragment, wherein the second optimization has a second speed per fragment that is slower than the first speed per fragment. Next, a result of the second optimization is used to form a reticle pattern; and a layer on a semiconductor wafer is patterned using the reticle pattern. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20100218954 | Application of Reservoir Conditioning In Petroleum Reservoirs - Methods for recovering heavy oil are provided. In at least one embodiment, the process includes conditioning a reservoir of interest, then initially producing fluids and particulate solids such as sand to increase reservoir access (“slurry production”). The initial production may generate high permeability channels or wormholes in the formation, which may be used for heavy oil production processes (“hydrocarbon production”) such as cold flow (CHOPS) or enhanced production processes such as SAGD, or VAPEX. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110272153 | Method and System For Enhancing A Recovery Process Employing One or More Horizontal Wellbores - The present invention relates generally to a system and method for enhancing a recovery process employing one or more substantially horizontal wellbores. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for enhancing a recovery process employing one or more horizontal wellbores by providing a zone of increased permeability in a hydrocarbon reservoir to facilitate vertical movement of flowable materials through the reservoir to thereby enhance the recovery process. In some embodiments, the reservoir comprises one or more vertical permeability impediments. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110290488 | Creation of a Hydrate Barrier During In Situ Hydrocarbon Recovery - Certain viscous oil reservoirs are too deep to be commercially mined but lack an adequate top seal to employ in situ recovery methods such as SAGD. Without an adequate top seal, gases from the reservoir can rise into overlying aquifers and potentially to the surface. While ice-like hydrates would not normally form above the oil reservoir during in situ recovery, an additive can be added to promote hydrate formation. In this way, a hydrate barrier can be formed to act as a top seal to contain these gases. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110290503 | WELL COMPLETION FOR VISCOUS OIL RECOVERY - Described is a well completion for evenly distributing a viscosity reducing injectant (e.g. steam and/or solvent, e.g. in SAGD or CSS) into a hydrocarbon reservoir (e.g. of bitumen), for evenly distributing produced fluids (most specifically vapor influx) and for limiting entry of particulate matter into the well upon production. On injection, the injectant passes through a limited number of slots in a base pipe, is deflected into an annulus between the base pipe and a screen or the like, and passes through the screen into the reservoir. On production, hydrocarbons pass from the reservoir through the screen into a compartmentalized annulus. The screen limits entry of particulate matter (e.g. sand). The hydrocarbons then pass through the slots in the base pipe and into the well. Where a screen is damaged, the compartmentalization and the slots in the base pipe limit particulate matter entry into the well. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110295771 | Method of Distributing A Viscosity Reducing Solvent To A Set of Wells - Described are methods of distributing a viscosity reducing solvent to a set of wells terminating in an underground oil reservoir where the variation in the net solvent injection rate is minimized. The net solvent injection rate is the difference between the total solvent injection rate and the total solvent production rate from the set of wells, for example on an instantaneous or daily rate basis. Minimizing this variation can reduce costs associated with surface solvent storage, subsurface solvent storage, and solvent supply, since solvent supply often is least expensive when supplied at near a fixed rate. One option is to operate well pairs and to inject solvent into one well of the pair while producing oil and solvent from the other well of the pair. These methods are particularly useful in solvent-dominated, cyclic or non-cyclic, viscous oil recovery processes. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20100155062 | Use Of A Heavy Petroleum Fraction As A Drive Fluid In The Recovery of Hydrocarbons From A Subterranean Formation - A process is disclosed for using heavy petroleum fraction as a drive fluid in the recovery of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. The hydrocarbons may be in the form of bitumen or heavy oil. The heavy petroleum fraction may be injected into at least one injection well and hydrocarbons produced out of at least one distinct production well. The heavy petroleum fraction may be co-injected together with steam and/or hot water and/or solvent. The heavy petroleum fraction may be a heavy fraction of a process used to upgrade crude oil, such as a heavy asphaltene fraction produced from solvent deasphalting crude oil produced by this recovery process. | 06-24-2010 |
