  • Patent number: 7854414
    Abstract: A cable clamp device for use in a well bore to secure cables to pipes and the like includes a flexible fastening member of relatively uniform cross-section, and a block that accepts the fastening member as it encompasses the circumference of the pipe in a loop. The cable clamp also and accepts the cable running axially along the pipe. The flexible fastening member overlaps itself, and is secured in a loop by deformation of its material. The height of the block from the surface of the pipe is greater than the height of the outer surface of the flexible fastening member and the surface of the pipe. The end surfaces of the clamp are angled with respect to the perpendicular of the pipe's surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6040496
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting virus infection in susceptible monocotyledonous plants. The methods and compositions involve the production of translationally altered forms of messenger RNA sequence derived from the inhibited virus. The invention further provides structural and organizational information for the genome of strain B of maize dwarf mosaic virus. Methods for inhibiting MDMV-B infection are taught. These methods include the generation of transformed plants containing chimeric genes capable of expressing either MDMV-B proteins or translationally altered forms of messenger RNA sequences produced by MDMV-B.
