| 20090065257 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING A DOWNHOLE DEPLOYMENT VALVE - Methods and apparatus for utilizing a downhole deployment valve (DDV) to isolate a pressure in a portion of a bore are disclosed. The DDV system can include fail safe features such as selectively extendable attenuation members for decreasing a falling object's impact, a normally open back-up valve member for actuation upon failure of a primary valve member, or a locking member to lock a valve member closed and enable disposal of a shock attenuating material on the valve member. Actuation of the DDV system can be electrically operated and can be self contained to operate automatically downhole without requiring control lines to the surface. Additionally, the actuation of the DDV can be based on a pressure supplied to an annulus. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20080230041 | High efficiency alcohol fuel engine - In an internal combustion engine adapted to combust alcohol blend fuels (i.e., fuels containing greater than 20% alcohol by volume), a dilute combustion mixture (e.g., with substantial EGR), intake air cooling, and latent cooling caused by vaporization of the alcohol fuel, are used together with a compact combustion chamber (in which the distance between the spark plug tip and furthest point of the combustion chamber is less than one-half the cylinder bore diameter) and controlled spark retardation to enable the use of a high compression ratio (greater than 15:1), for improved efficiency without triggering auto-ignition. Thermal brake efficiency significantly exceeds that for conventional gasoline engines, thereby improving the potential cost-effectiveness of alcohol fuels. Stoichiometric operation is used for optimal emissions control. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090060719 | Dual volute turbocharger - A two-volute low pressure turbocharger is provided with a VGT mechanism in one turbine volute only. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090114196 | Flex fuel internal combustion engine system - A flex fuel internal combustion engine system includes means for sensing ethanol concentration of the fuel. If the ethanol concentration is determined to be above a given threshold, engine operation is adjusted for lean combustion of the fuel. An aftertreatment system is provided to remove harmful emissions from the exhaust. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100326401 | Two Mode Dual Crankshaft Engine - A variable displacement engine comprises two engine modules fed from a common fuel source, each engine module having an individual crankshaft. The first engine module has a high compression ratio (e.g., greater than 13:1), while the second module has a typical compression ratio for a gasoline engine (e.g., between 9:1 and 11:1). In one embodiment, the first engine module operates through high efficiency optimized alcohol fuel combustion when the fuel content exceeds a minimum alcohol content. In an alternative embodiment, the first engine module operates at high efficiency through gasoline HCCI combustion when conditions permit. When operating conditions do not permit the first engine module to operate at high efficiency, the second engine module operates as the primary engine module, with the first engine module available to provide supplemental power (at less than optimal efficiency) if needed to meet driver demand. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090285775 | TREATMENT OF WOUNDS USING IL-17B - IL-17B is known to stimulate the proliferation of chondrocytes, bone, and is highly expressed in nervous tissue, resulting in repair of diseased tissue. When IL-17B is absent a marked negative effect on wound healing is noted. The present invention comprises providing IL-17B, by topical, parental, or other administration means, in order to accelerate the wound healing process. The present invention further encompasses a pharmaceutical composition and formulations thereof that utilize IL-17B, either alone or in combination with other cytokines or growth factors known to aid wound healing. The invention also contemplates methods of treating wounds in patients using this pharmaceutical composition. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20110244775 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AND DIRECTING FLOW OF CONTAMINATED AIR TO FILTERS AND FOR MONITORING FILTER LOADING IN A BIOLOGICAL SAFETY CABINET - An improved system and method for monitoring contamination loading of a filter in a biological safety cabinet comprising a housing defining a work chamber and a filtration chamber, a system for circulating air between the work chamber and the filtration chamber via a fan which draws air under negative pressure from the work chamber and delivers the air under positive pressure through the filter and into the filtration chamber. The filter monitoring system determines a pressure differential between the negative and positive air pressure at opposite sides of the fan, and evaluates the degree of contamination loading of the filter on the basis of the pressure differential. An air flow baffle is disposed within the filtration chamber adjacent the fan for dividing the pressurized air delivered by the fan and partially redirecting a portion thereof for more uniformly delivering the air to the filter. | 10-06-2011 |
