| 20110284106 | PARTIAL STROKE TESTING - Partial Stroke Testing (PST) equipment and methodologies provide PST data for an electromechanical valve, wherein power is withheld from the valve to trigger the vale to move away from a fully open position and power is subsequently applied to reinstate the fully open position immediately following detecting that the test valve has moved away from the fully open position. These operations are performed and monitored to determine whether they are completed within a prescribed period of time and associated data is generated that indicates a health of the valve subjected to the PST. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20110158823 | SHUTTLE PUMP WITH CONTROLLED GEOMETRY - An infusion pump uses an improved shuttle mechanism to more reliably pump liquids in low volumes for medical and other purposes. The improved shuttle uses linear translation and wider, symmetric jaws to grasp infusate tubing and pump liquid infusate through the tubing. Adjustment of the linear motion allows a user to also adjust a pumping volume of the infusion pump. Other shuttles with wider jaws may also pump infusate using a rotary motion. In addition, more than one shuttle, such as two or three shuttles, may be used to approximate continuous pumping. A series of several smaller linear shuttles with sequential actuation may be used as a linear peristaltic pump for general peristaltic pump applications. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20090071239 | METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING PETROLEUM RESERVOIR ANALYSIS - Described herein are methods for optimizing petroleum reservoir analysis and sampling using a real-time component wherein heterogeneities in fluid properties exist. The methods can help predict the recovery performance of oil such as, for example, heavy oil, which can be adversely impacted by fluid property gradients present in the reservoir. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090114387 | METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING COMPOUNDS USEFUL FOR PRODUCING HEAVY OILS FROM UNDERGROUND RESERVOIRS - Described herein are methods for identifying compounds useful for producing heavy oil from an underground reservoir. The methods facilitate the development of chemicals with improved physicochemical features. The methods generally involve first identifying a physicochemical property of a compound that needs to be improved in order to increase the efficiency of heavy oil removal from underground reservoirs. Next, the physicochemical property is calculated by molecular modeling using semi-empirical or ab-initio calculations. By modifying the molecular model of the compound, the targeted physicochemical property can be optimized. After a suitable compound has been identified, the compound can be synthesized and evaluated. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20110291302 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING AN ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY, ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURED WITH THE METHOD OR IN THE APPARATUS - A method of producing an electronic module with at least one electronic component and one carrier. A structure is provided on the carrier so that the electronic component can take a desired target position relative to the structure. The structure is coated with a liquid meniscus suitable for receiving the electronic component. Multiple electronic components are provided at a delivery point for the electronic components. The carrier, with the structure, is moved nearby and opposite to the delivery point, where the delivery point delivers one of the electronic components without contact, while the structure on the carrier is moving near the delivery point, so that after a phase of free movement the electronic component at least partly touches the material, and the carrier, with the structure, is moved to a downstream processing point, while the electronic component aligns itself to the structure on the liquid meniscus. | 12-01-2011 |
