| 20090090502 | ANNULUS SEALING ASSEMBLY - An assembly arranged in a well bore and run in conjunction with a perforated or a non perforated liner has an inflatable packer section prepared for being expanded by fluid and a valve device for opening and closing of fluid communication into the inflatable packer section. The assembly also has a fluid section connected to the inflatable packer section. The fluid section holds a fluid that is delivered into and used to inflate the inflatable packer section. An energy section in the assembly contains an energy source for delivering the fluid from the fluid section into the inflatable packer section. A triggering section includes a control for the energy source and/or the valve device. The triggering section can control the delivery of the fluid into the inflatable packer section. The triggering section also includes a communicator that signals a triggering device for initiating the expanding of the inflatable packer section. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090123942 | Electrophysiological assays using oocytes that express human enac and the use of phenamil to improve the effect of enac enhancers in assays using membrane potential reporting dyes - In one aspect, the present invention relates to a mammalian cell-based high-throughput assay for the profiling and screening of human epithelial sodium channel (hENaC) cloned from a human kidney c-DNA library and is also expressed in other tissues including human taste tissue. The present invention further relates to amphibian oocyte-based medium-throughput electrophysiological assays for identifying human ENaC modulators, preferably ENaC enhancers. Compounds that modulate ENaC function in a cell-based ENaC assay are expected to affect salty taste in humans. The assays described herein have advantages over existing cellular expression systems. In the case of mammalian cells, such assays can be run in standard 96 or 384 well culture plates in high-throughput mode with enhanced assay results being achieved by the use of a compound that inhibits ENaC function, preferably an amiloride derivative such as Phenamil. In the case of the inventive oocyte electrophysiological assays (two-electrode voltage-clamp technique), these assays facilitate the identification of compounds which specifically modulate human ENaC. The assays of the invention provide a robust screen useful to detect compounds that facilitate (enhance) or inhibit hENaC function. Compounds that enhance or block human ENaC channel activity should thereby modulate salty taste in humans. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20080268630 | METHOD TO OBTAIN MULTIPLE GATE THICKNESSES USING IN-SITU GATE ETCH MASK APPROACH - Making gates having multiple thicknesses on the same substrate in a given process flow is provided. For example, a method of making a semiconductor structure having at least two gates of different thickness involves forming a first gate layer having a first thickness; patterning a first hard mask over a portion of the first gate layer to define a first gate underneath the first hard mask having a first gate thickness; forming a second gate layer having a second thickness over the first gate layer and the first hard mask; patterning a second hard mask over a portion of the second gate layer to define a second gate underneath the second hard mask having a second gate thickness; removing portions of the first gate layer and the second gate layer that are not under the first hard mask and the second hard mask; and removing the first hard mask and the second hard mask to provide two gates of different thicknesses. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20100151835 | MESSAGE FORWARDING AND RETRIEVAL WITH A SINGLE MESSAGING SERVICE - Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system of integrating a user's voice mail onto a single voice messaging service, e.g., a Unified Messaging (UM) service, such that a client may access this single source for voice mail retrieval, even where such voice mails are from a variety of sources, e.g., work, mobile phone, etc. A user, or the user's mobile operator, need only agree to accept the service, and the registration and configuration requirements for providing the service and forwarding calls to the service are automatically configured. The user's existing “speed dial” key or other setting for retrieving voice mail may also be automatically configured to the access number(s) for the service. Configurations may monitor the status of the service and update access and/or forwarding numbers. Voice mail forwarding and settings may also be automatically reverted back to the user's original service. | 06-17-2010 |
