Abstract: A method for hydrocarbon processing is provided. In one or more embodiments, the method includes splitting a hydrocarbon stream comprising natural gas and acid gas into a first stream and a second stream. Alternatively, the first stream and second stream may be provided from other sources. The first stream is processed to remove a portion of the acid gas therefrom, thereby producing a third stream comprising the acid gas removed from the first stream and a fourth stream comprising less than 100 ppm of sulfur-containing compounds. The second stream is combined with the third stream to provide a combined stream, which is compressed and reinjected into a subterranean reservoir.

The scotopic after-glow lamp comprises a non-uniform scotopic phosphor blend of scotopic enhanced phosphors and after-glow phosphors. A method for constructing a scotopic after-glow lamp for use in an electric lamp is also provided. The method comprises combining scotopic enhanced phosphors with after-glow phosphors and layering the combined phosphors on the lamp wall with at least a portion of the after-glow phosphors being against the lamp wall and at least a portion of the scotopic phosphors being exposed to the electric arc of the lamp. Protective layers, such as aluminum oxide powder, can be added in conjunction with the coating process to reduce the flaking and/or separation of the phosphors from the glass wall of the lamp and each other and enhance and lengthen the useful light production of the lamp as it ages.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for identifying agents that are ligands for nuclear receptors. The methods include conducting multiplexed assays utilizing positive hybrid systems, reverse hybrid systems, direct interaction assays and other assays to screen for ligands having activity with a receptor of interest. The methods can be performed in various multiplexing formats to produce a profile that can be used to categorize a test ligand relative to known agonists and antagonists.

Abstract: A shatter-containment fluorescent lamp having a protective plastic sleeve in which the sleeve is attached by an adhesive at each end of the lamp envelope in a manner to provide a controlled air space between the glass lamp envelope and the plastic sleeve to prevent direct transmission of stresses from the envelope to the sleeve. The sleeve is also attached to the lamp base by the adhesive so that there is integral connection of the sleeve and the base at each end of the envelope. A retaining ring, also held by the adhesive, covers the base. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the retaining ring inner surface and the lamp base having mating members to align the retaining ring on the base. In another embodiment, the sleeve has a number of angled slots around its circumference at each end and there are corresponding locking teeth on a retaining ring to accommodate for variations in lamp envelope/protective sleeve length.

Abstract: A compact fluorescent lamp of the twin tube or double twin type which is protected by an outer envelope mounted to the fluorescent lamp or the housing which contains the fluorescent lamp ballast. In a preferred embodiment the outer envelope is in the shape of an incandescent lamp envelope.

Abstract: A dual cathode structure for a fluorescent lamp comprises a pair of electron emissive cathodes which are connected with a common junction and mounted to have an included angle therebetween. The first of the pair of cathodes has first and second leads coupled to an external source of electrical current and the second cathode structure has a first terminal coupled to the first cathode at a common junction and an anode flag connected to its second terminal to collect electrons when the filaments are operating in the anode half cycle. The collected electrons pass through the second cathode. The availability of the second cathode prolongs lamp life by permitting shifting of the hot spot.
