    摘要: A system and method for removing water from a liquid desiccant such as a glycol used to dry cooled air in order to restore the desiccant to a purity up to around 97% in a closed continuous flow process. Liquid desiccant can be sprayed into cooled air in a conditioner where it gains moisture. The wet or gained desiccant can be optionally preheated in an economizing heat exchanger and then routed into a concentrator. Desiccant pure to around 97% can be removed from the concentrator, passed through an economizing heat exchanger to provide the preheating and returned to the conditioner holding area. The concentrator can be heated by steam or other means such as natural gas to boil the wet desiccant causing mixed vapor to enter a vertical distillation column where most of the glycol condenses out on the column packing or plates and returns to the concentrator. Almost pure water vapor normally passes out of the top of the column and can be condensed in a water-cooled (or otherwise cooled) condenser and collected or discarded as liquid water. A portion of the water can be piped back into the top of the column as a reflux stream that scrubs the column packing or plates of desiccant. In this way, the desiccant can be purified to around 97%.

    摘要: A formation isolation valve for underbalanced drilling applications. A system for operating a formation isolation valve includes the valve interconnected in a casing string. An assembly displaces through the casing string, thereby causing the valve to open prior to the assembly reaching the valve. An operating system includes a well tool with an actuator positioned downhole. A device for causing the actuator to operate the well tool is also positioned downhole remote from the actuator. A method of operating a well tool includes the steps of: positioning the well tool in a well, the well tool including an actuator; positioning a power source for the actuator in the well; and at a downhole position remote from the actuator, causing the actuator to operate the well tool.

    摘要: The present invention relates to protein microarray devices having an internal calibrator, kits containing such devices, and methods of using such devices. Such a device comprises a plurality of protein arraying pads on a support substrate, a plurality of protein arraying spots on each pad, and a calibrator disposed on each pad, each calibrator comprising a series of spots of increasing concentration of a protein. In preferred embodiments, each pad has an immunoglobulin calibrator that is of the same species as the proteins that are reactive to the protein arraying spots. An advantage of the present invention is that one can use reliably use microporous surfaces for conducting multiplexed protein microimmunoassays with an assurance as to surface-to-surface fluorescence variability on a microarray device.
