A tubing counter for counting coiled tubing inserted into a well includes an outer housing having a through passage for receiving the coiled tubing therethrough. In some embodiments, pressure rated connectors at both of the ends of the outer housing sealably connect the outer housing in series between the coiled tubing injector head and the outer casing of the well. A plurality of counting wheels are rotatably supported within the outer housing for rolling engagement along coiled tubing inserted through the outer housing while a counting mechanism records a number of rotations of each counting wheel independently of the other wheels to minimize counting errors. Locating the counter below the injector head and below the tubing stripper ensures that the tubing is cleaner and less likely to slip in contact with the counting wheels while also accounting for stretching of the tubing for more accurate measurement.

Methods for the delivery of a siNA to a cell via a liposome are provided. In certain embodiments, the siNA may bind to a nucleotide sequence encoding ZNF306 protein. These methods may be used to treat a disease, such as cancer. One example of a composition is a composition comprising a siNA component that binds to a nucleotide sequence encoding ZNF306 protein and a lipid component. One example of a method is a method of treating cancer.

A remote access security network is provided that comprises a local terminal receiving scan data representative of objects scanned during a security check. An enterprise server communicates with the local terminal. The enterprise server processes the scan data to form a displayable image and provides remote access to the displayable image upon request. A remote terminal located remote from the enterprise server and remote from the local terminal communicates with the enterprise server over a high-speed connection to provide remote review of the displayable image at the remote terminal associated with the scan data obtained at the local terminal. The enterprise server may include a passenger information interface configured to access a passenger information database having passenger information. The enterprise server may include a conferencing module for establishing a video conference between multiple remote terminals to permit operators of the multiple remote terminals to view simultaneously an individual, common scan image. The local terminal may include an instant-messaging module that, upon a command from a local operator, generates a review request that the enterprise server automatically routes from the local terminal to the remote terminal. The enterprise server may include an electronic unpacking module that, upon request from one of the local and remote terminal, removes portions of the scan image to expose interior items within the scan data.

In accordance with certain embodiments a method and system to analyze the content of a packed bag utilizing a scanner is provided. The bag is scanned for a scannable characteristic to acquire scan data representative of a content of the piece of baggage. A volumetric data set is generated from the scan data, wherein the volumetric data set includes voxel values of the scannable characteristic throughout a volume of interest in the baggage. A rendered view is produced of the content of the piece of baggage based on the voxel values within a selected range from the volumetric data set. The method and system also provide identifying a threat by analyzing Hounsfield Units of the material of interest.

A medication injector apparatus such as an injection pen. The injection pen includes a resettable, cartridge plunger drive assembly including an axially floating nut, a cartridge plunger engaging screw, and a drive clutch movable with the nut and which when rotated causes the screw to screw through the nut. When a cartridge assembly is mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are shifted proximally such that the drive clutch is in torque transmitting engagement with a rotatable drive member of the pen, such that rotation of that drive member results in drive screw advancement through the nut in the distal direction. When the cartridge assembly is not mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are biased distally to disengage the drive clutch from torque transmitting engagement with the rotatable drive member and to thereby allow the drive screw to be reset proximally through the nut to a position more retracted within the pen base. The injection pen also may include an injection clicker assembly having a collar arranged coaxially on a drive sleeve and which oscillates axially on the drive sleeve that rotates during medication dispensing to provide an audible clicking sound that indicates injecting use of the pen. The injection pen also may include a doseable quantity identifier that uses a rotational matrix and a sensor for electrically sensing the arrangement of the dose setting mechanism of the pen, which identifier may be part of a therapeutic dose indicating system that utilizes a cartridge recognizer to recognize a concentration of medication so as to allow an automatic determination of a therapeutic dose. The injection pen further may include an assembly for selectively rotating a drive sleeve of the pen, which assembly has a dial that rotates out during dose setting and which translates in without rotation during dose injecting.
