Abstract: A system and method for extrapolating a set of specific representational identifiers that are represented or covered by a generic representational identifier found in a target document. Queries are constructed and performed on a corpus of source documents in which members of the extrapolated set of specific representational identifiers are compared to a database of representational data. By matching representational data in this way, any overlap between the generic representational data and specific instances of the generic representational identifier within the source documents is determined. In a more specific implementation, the system and method reduces the scope of the generic representational identifier such that the reduced scope generic representational identifier encompasses only novel specific representational identifiers.

Abstract: The invention relates to substituted pyridine compounds of Formula I: (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof, wherein A1, X, A2, R1a, R1b, R1c, G, and z are defined as set forth in the specification. The invention is also directed to the use of compounds of Formula I to treat a disorder responsive to the blockade of sodium channels. Compounds of the present invention are especially useful for treating pain.

Abstract: A multi-stage setting tool actuated by hydrostatic pressure downhole is provided with a selectable force-time profile during setting. A first port opens a first piston chamber to hydrostatic pressure which drives a first piston. A force-transmitting member, attached to the piston, is driven in response to the fluid pressure increase in the chamber. The process is repeated with sequential ports and piston chambers. A settable tool is set in response to the driving of the force-transmitting member by the pistons. The combined stroke distances and forces of the pistons are selected to set the tool. Opening of the ports can occur in response to electrical signal and can be conditional on occurrence of a selected event or condition. Speed of setting can be regulated.
