20100073054 | Techniques For Digital Loop Filters - A digital loop filter includes a fine control circuit and a coarse control circuit. The fine control circuit adjusts a phase of a feedback clock signal by a first phase adjustment in response to a first phase error signal that indicates a sign of a phase error between a reference clock signal and the feedback clock signal. The coarse control circuit adjusts the phase of the feedback clock signal by a second phase adjustment in response to a second phase error signal. The second phase adjustment is larger than the first phase adjustment. The second phase error signal indicates a magnitude of a phase error between the reference clock signal and the feedback clock signal. | 03-25-2010 |

20100273159 | Nested Multiplex Amplification Method for Identification of Multiple Biological Entities - The present invention provides a novel molecular method for the simultaneous identification and semi-quantification of multiple targeted biological entities from amongst a plurality. This invention discloses a method based on a multiplex nested amplification reaction in a single closed tube. The first amplification reaction relies on a set of large oligonucleotides for the amplification of common loci in all the targeted biological entities. The second nested amplification reaction relies on a set of short oligonucleotide primers that amplifies specific nucleotide sequences from all the amplicons previously produced in the first amplification reaction and generates an amplified product pattern capable of identifying each targeted biological entity. This method offers fast and accurate simultaneous identification of many targeted biological entities in any sample. | 10-28-2010 |
20120171681 | OLIGONUCLEOTIDES, METHODS AND KITS FOR DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING VANCOMYCIN-RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCUS - The present invention relates to methods for detecting the presence or absence of vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in a sample using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mtx-PCR) assay. Furthermore, the present invention relates to oligonucleotide primers and kits for the detection of VRE. | 07-05-2012 |

20150184358 | Self Cleaning Collection Apparatus and Method - A self cleaning collecting apparatus and method are provided for the collection of seafloor material. The collecting apparatus, which operates on a seafloor, has a plurality of rotating discs in front of a slurry suction pipe with clearing members located between adjacent discs. Any oversize material lodged in the discs during collection is dislodged by the one or more clearing members and prevented from entering the slurry suction pipe, thus preventing blockages caused by oversize material congesting the slurry suction pipe. | 07-02-2015 |

20150367917 | Production Support and Storage Vessel - A production support and storage vessel is provided, as well as a method of processing material, such as ore, gathered from the seafloor using such a vessel. The production support and storage vessel has facilities to receive ore from the seafloor, process it, and store the ore in bulk storage silos. Additionally, the production support and storage vessel has a ballast capability and system to ballast the vessel down to a full operational draft. When needed, typically approximately weekly, a transport vessel is moored to the production support and storage vessel and the production support and storage vessel offloads the stored ore using a conveyor system. | 12-24-2015 |

20130241263 | Method And Apparatus For Auxilary Seafloor Mining - A seafloor auxiliary mining tool for use in a seafloor mining system. The seafloor auxiliary mining tool has a seafloor locomotion system enabling traversal of the seafloor. Umbilical connections receive power and control signals from a surface source. A boom mounted auxiliary cutting tool is configured to cut extremities of a seafloor deposit. Cuttings produced by the auxiliary cutting tool are sized by sizing means, to ensure such cuttings are no greater than a desired size. | 09-19-2013 |
20130298430 | Method And Apparatus For Bulk Seafloor Mining - A seafloor bulk mining tool for production cutting of a seafloor bench. The tool uses a tracked locomotion system to travel across a seafloor bench. Power and control interfaces receive power and control signals from a surface source. The tool has a drum cutter for cutting the bench, and a sizing grill adjacent the drum cutter for sizing cuttings as they are produced by the drum cutter. A drum shroud may also be provided to help contain cuttings. A suction inlet can be used to capture cuttings as they are produced, for example in conjunction with a spade and augers. | 11-14-2013 |
20130312296 | System For Seafloor Mining - A system for seafloor mining. A seafloor auxiliary mining tool works a seafloor site to prepare a bench, and deposits cut ore in a gathering area. A seafloor bulk mining tool undertakes production cutting of a bench and deposits cut ore in a gathering area. A seafloor gathering machine gathers cut ore deposited in the gathering area and pumps gathered ore as a slurry to a riser base. A riser and lifting system receives slurry from the gathering machine and lifts the slurry to the surface. A surface vessel receives slurry from the riser and lifting system. | 11-28-2013 |
20140137442 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEAFLOOR STOCKPILING - A system and method for stockpiling material on the seafloor, the system and method using seafloor collection machines, such auxiliary or bulk cutters or collection machines, to capture seafloor material to be stockpiled. The captured seafloor material is carried in slurry form over a flexible transfer pipe to an outlet at a desired seafloor site. In a preferred form the outlet is mounted in a seafloor stockpiling hood that sits on the seafloor at the desired seafloor site and captures and contains slurry from the outlet while allowing egress of water. The captured seafloor material can then be extracted to a surface vessel. | 05-22-2014 |
20140137443 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEAFLOOR STOCKPILING - An apparatus for seafloor stockpiling that has a slurry inlet that receives slurry from a seafloor tool via a slurry transfer pipe and walls that, together with the seafloor, define a cavity having a stockpiling volume. The walls are made substantially of a water permeable material, such as a filter fabric or geotextile, that captures and contains seafloor material present in slurry received from the slurry inlet, while permitting egress of water from the slurry. In a preferred form the seafloor stockpiling device is a hood with an open bottom that is located on a seafloor surface. | 05-22-2014 |
