20100055042 | Enhancing Clot Busting Medication in Stroke with Directed Drug Convection using Magnetic Nano-Particles - An important step towards successful drug targeting with nanoparticles is developing a method to coat the nanoparticles with a useful drug. BSA was used by us to mimic the actual drug for its cost effectiveness during initial trials. We have successfully immobilized BSA onto three (PEG, PEMA and glutamic acid) out of four different surfactant capped nanocomposites. We found that the BSA immobilized particles showed excellent colloidal stability in water and stayed well suspended without any sign of agglomeration or settling. The suspended particles were easily accumulated using a magnet and could be re-dispersed readily. These properties indicate that the BSA immobilized iron oxide nanocomposites are excellent candidates for directed drug convection (DDC). | 03-04-2010 |

20140166313 | Quarter Turn Tension Torque Anchor - A torque anchor for anchoring well equipment in a well conduit to arrest movement in both longitudinal directions and rotation in a first direction, but not rotation in an opposed second direction. A mandrel connected to the equipment has L-shaped grooves for slideably receiving respective pins from a drag body on the mandrel. A slip retainer on the mandrel houses slips for selectively engaging and disengaging the conduit. An initial pull of the mandrel causes the pins to move the drag body toward the slip retainer driving the slips outward to grip the conduit, and rotation of the mandrel in the first direction sets the anchor to arrest movement. Further pulling maintains the set position. The anchor is unset by releasing pull, rotating the mandrel in the second direction, and pushing the mandrel to disengage the slips. Alternate unsetting requires increased pull beyond the shear resistance of the slip retainer. | 06-19-2014 |

A slip retainer on the mandrel houses slips for selectively engaging and disengaging the conduit. An initial pull of the mandrel causes the pins to move the drag body toward the slip retainer driving the slips outward to grip the conduit. Rotation of the mandrel in the first direction sets the anchor to arrest movement. Further pulling and a reversed turn of the mandrel maintains the set position. A spring biases the slips outward to maintain their set to catch the well equipment in the event of a break in the string above the anchor. | 02-12-2015 |

A slip cage on the mandrel houses slips for selectively engaging and disengaging the conduit. Manipulation of the mandrel at surface causes the pins to move within the one or more grooves on the mandrel and the drag body to move toward the slip retainer driving the slips outward to grip the conduit. Further pulling at surface maintains the set position. The anchor is unseta surface by releasing the pull, rotating the mandrel in the second direction, and pushing the mandrel to disengage the slips. | 08-20-2015 |
