Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for separating ferrous particles from a liquid or slurry, and a method of use. The apparatus comprises an elongate housing, a magnet assembly located within the elongate housing and a drive means. The drive means is operable to translate reciprocating motion to the magnet assembly, to move it back and forth within the elongate housing. The elongate housing comprises one or more formations along its length.

Abstract: A multi-circulation heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)/Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes comprises a steam drum internally partitioned to provide a clean side and a dirty side. The clean side downcomer pipe supplies water to one or more generating banks as part of a clean circuit located in a high heat flux zone of the boiler. Boiler water is fed from the clean side of the drum to the dirty side of the drum via natural head differential. Water is then fed through a corresponding downcomer to a dirty generating bank, which is located in a low heat flux zone of the boiler.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for detecting near and distant interactions between cells, organelles and other large structures. This method can also be used for specific detection and quantification of Antibody or other binding moiety protein-protein and macro-molecular interactions, as well as quantitative analysis of multiple proteins and their modifications.

Abstract: The invention in provides an apparatus, system and method of monitoring a sealing device. The apparatus comprises an inlet configured to receive pressurised fluid from a seal activation fluid pressure source and an outlet configured to be connected to a sealing device to deliver pressurised fluid to a seal element of the sealing device to energise the sealing device in use. A fluid barrier is disposed between the inlet and the outlet and is operable to isolate the inlet from the outlet. A fluid chamber is defined between the fluid barrier and the outlet, and the apparatus comprises means for detecting a change in condition in the fluid chamber indicative of a change in volume of the seal element of the sealing device.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for removing ferrous particles from metal contaminated oil and gas process liquids or slurries and method of use. The magnetic separator apparatus comprises a vessel with an inlet and an outlet configured to allow the flow through of a liquid or slurry, or to hold a liquid or slurry inside. A plurality of magnetic rod devices is mounted upon at least one frame member secured to the vessel such that they extend into the interior of the vessel. Each magnetic rod device has a first condition in which it is operable to attract ferrous particles, and a second condition in which it is operable to dispose of ferrous particles. Embodiments of the invention provide a magnetic separator apparatus for removing ferrous particles from contaminated liquids and slurries which are stored in a storage facility.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a method for heat management in a portable electronic device. The method includes measuring a current in the portable electronic device and determining, as a function of the current, whether the portable electronic device may overheat. When the portable electronic device may overheat, at least one component in the portable electronic device can be turned off.

Abstract: Polymeric films including a layer of propylene polymer resin having microvoids therein, the microvoids having been formed by stretching a web containing the beta-form of polypropylene, have shown low static cling when being unwound from rolls in labelling operations and also during destacking of pre-formed labels. The invention provides labels formed from such films.
