Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to cholesterol and, thereby, reducing blood cholesterol in a patient. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of reducing hypercholesteremia in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal a layered phyllosilicate material alone and in combination with other cholesterol-reducing agents in an amount effective to reduce hypercholesteremia in said mammal.

Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of inactivating a virus in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian subject comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising a layered phyllosilicate material in an amount effective for virus inactivation. Also provided are methods of treating a viral infection in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian subject. Methods of delivering a therapeutic agent to a mammalian subject and methods of inactivating a virus in waste expelled from a mammal are also provided.

Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of inhibiting transfer of a virus to a surface comprising contacting the surface with a composition comprising a layered phyllosilicate material in an amount sufficient for inhibiting the transfer of the virus thereto. Also provided are methods of inactivating a virus on a surface comprising contacting the surface with a composition comprising a layered phyllosilicate material in an amount sufficient to inactivate said virus.

A liner hanger assembly to run-in a liner on a liner hanger, cement the liner in place and set the liner hanger in one trip. Then, a wellbore treatment process can proceed while the running string remains downhole or via a second trip. The liner hanger assembly includes a liner hanger running tool and a liner hanger.

A circulation valve includes: an outer tubular sleeve telescopically mounted at its end over a tubular mandrel; a fluid passage between sleeve and the mandrel, the fluid passage providing fluid communication between the inner bore of the valve and its outer surface; a dual knife seal assembly to control flow out of the fluid flow path through the fluid passage, the dual knife seal assembly including a first annular knife seal edge and land that seal up when the sleeve and mandrel are in a fully axially compressed position and a second annular knife seal edge and land that seal up when the sleeve and mandrel are pulled into a fully in tension position; and, a J-slot position indexing mechanism including a slot and a key to guide movement of the sleeve and the mandrel between the fully in tension position and the fully compressed position. The circulation valve is employed in a wellbore treatment assembly and methods.
摘要:
A system and method for selectively stimulating a plurality of producing zones in a wellbore in oil and gas wells. The system includes a plurality of modules connected in a string that may be selectively actuated to stimulate a producing zone. Each module may be adapted to engage a tubing run ball seat. After installation of the string within the wellbore, a ball seat may be run into the well and positioned to selectively engage a desired module. The ball seat may be used to open a sleeve of the module permitting the stimulation of the producing zone. After stimulation of the producing zone, the ball seat may be removed from the wellbore rather than needing to drill out the ball seat. The sleeve may include a profile adapted to engage a shifting tool permitting the selective closure of the sleeve after stimulation of the producing zone.

A medication injection supervisor device, in one example embodiment, comprises a particular sleeve, the particular sleeve being designed to lock onto to a prefabricated injection pen of a particular design, a universal header designed slide onto the particular sleeve irrespective of the particular model of the prefabricated injection pen, an electronics assembly housed by the universal header, a sensor to detect an injection automatically, the sensor being communicatively coupled to the electronics assembly, a display to display injection data, and a button to allow manipulation and display of the injection data, including resetting of the time. The medication injection supervisor device can infer the completion of the injection from a plunger of the injection pen being depressed. The medication injection supervisor device can further include a dosage reading system to read a dosage of medication delivered by the prefabrication injection pen, the dosage reading system including a clip specific to the prefabricated injection pen coupled to a plunger of the prefabricated injection pen, the dosage being determined by a position of the clip. The medication injection supervisor device can further include a micro optics subsystem communicatively coupled to the electronics assembly and having a dial reader to take one or more images of a dosage dial of the prefabricated injection pen, and an imaging subsystem communicatively coupled to the electronics assembly to recognize characters in the images taken by the dial reader.
摘要:
A structural insulated laminated construction panel for building structures is described. The panel comprises a rigid core material layer of expanded polymeric material having opposed flat parallel surfaces. The expanded polymeric material is injected between spaced outer and inner skins. An outer skin is secured to one of the flat surfaces and an inner skin is secured to the other of the flat surfaces. The core material is preferably an expanded polyurethane foam material. A building structure is constructed from such panels used as exterior and interior wall panels, floor panels and roof panels.

A system for determining an opening price for products traded over a distributed, networked computer system, includes a plurality of workstations for entering orders for financial products into the distributed, networked computer system and a server computer coupled to the workstations for receiving the orders. The server computer executes a server process that determines an opening price for the product. The server process identifies the oldest of interest at the most aggressive price on each side of the market and selects the older interest of the identified interest to designate as initial interest. The server process matches initial interest against all contra side interest.
