20100320159	METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLEANING NON-FIXED MEDIA FILTERS - A method and apparatuses are presented for rejuvenating a bed of granular filter medium that has accumulated contaminants during filtration of a liquid stream. The method first includes the step of establishing a small volumetric flow rate of clean filtrate in reverse flow. Then, the filter media is agitated to break-up contaminants that have become agglomerated on the surface of or within the interstitial spaces of the filter media. The agitating step is accomplished by exposing the liquid-full filter media to a jetting stream comprised mostly of a gas mixed with a clean liquid. The jetting stream is dispersed throughout the filter media through a plurality of radial nozzles located within the filter bed. The radial nozzles disperse the gas within the liquid and filter media causing sufficient turbulence and agitation of the filter media granules to liberate the trapped contaminants without the need for high liquid flow rates. The number of nozzles and their placement within the filter bed are varied depending on factors such as size and shape of the filter vessel and the type of filter media being cleaned. The amount of water and gas flowing through the nozzles is also adjusted to provide substantially uniform cleaning of the entire bed. This method results in lower volumes of clean filtrate being consumed in the backwash cycle and the associated storage and recycle of that liquid back into the process. The radial nozzles are each comprised of two horizontal and parallel circular disks spaced apart to create a cylindrical void through which the pressurized gas and liquid jetting stream flows. The apparatuses presented are a singular filter vessel an a plurality of filter chambers within a common filter vessel each containing granular filter media and a plurality of radial nozzles disposed with the media for dispersing the jetting stream throughout during the cleaning and rejuvenation steps of a filtering process.	12-23-2010

20080236897	Expandable Downhole Tool - An expandable downhole tool such as an under-reamer or a stabiliser comprises a mandrel mounted for linear slidable movement relative to a main body. A fixed guide takes the form of a spline bar is disposed in an axial recess and is restrained from movement longitudinally and laterally. To retain the spline bar in position, lock blocks are provided and can be bolted to a surrounding housing of the main body in which axial recess is formed, by means of lock pins. The longitudinally slidable mandrel has two axially spaced cut-out recesses, into which can be received the lower ends of travel blocks. Cutter block has obliquely outwardly extending guide ways which are slidably mounted on similarly shaped slide ramps projecting outwardly from the spline bar. Upon increase of hydraulic pressure from below the tool, the mandrel is urged to the left against its spring biasing from the deactivated position to take up an axially displaced position. Because travel block engages adjacent end face of the cutter block, the cutter block is urged outwardly to the extended position by obliquely outward sliding movement of guide ways on slide ramps.	10-02-2008

20100168417	2-Indolyl Imidazo [4,5-d] Phenanthroline Derivatives and Their Use in the Treatment for Cancer - 2-indolyl imidazo[4,5-d]phenanthroline compounds of Formula I that are capable of intracellular chelation of transition metals and of exerting antiproliferative effects in cancer cells, that are cytostatic and/or cytotoxic, are provided. Compounds of Formula I can also induce apoptosis in cancer cells and are thus capable of exerting a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of selectively inhibiting the proliferation of one or more of prostate cancer cells, colon cancer cells, non-small lung cancer cells and leukemia cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of increasing the expression of the zinc-regulated tumour suppressor, KLF4 and thus are useful in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells in which KLF4 functions as a tumour-suppressor, including, but not limited to, bladder cancer, cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and various leukemias.	07-01-2010
20110158936	USE OF INTERLEUKIN 17E FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER - The use of interleukin 17E to inhibit tumour growth in a subject is provided. The interleukin 17E can be provided to the subject exogenously, as an interleukin 17E polypeptide or a polynucleotide encoding an interleukin 17E polypeptide, or it can be provided by stimulating production of endogenous interleukin 17E. Also provided is the use of interleukin 17E in combination with one or more anti-cancer therapeutics for inhibiting tumour growth in a subject. Anti-cancer therapeutics include, for example, standard chemotherapeutic drugs, immunotherapeutics, radiation, gene therapy, hormone manipulation and antisense therapy.	06-30-2011
