Patent CA-2771042-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BIAS JOEL
IPC: E03F5/14
Filed: 2010-08-09
Abstract: A separation process wherein an aerated inlet mixture of fluid and solids is fed to a flotation separation vessel and is separated into an upper float layer and a lower clarified layer. The upper float layer is withdrawn from the vessel when the height of the upper float layer exceeds the height of an overflow conduit and forms a concentrated solids effluent. The lower clarified layer is withdrawn from the separation vessel as a clarified fluid effluent. The separation process is performed continuously using a control process that maintains a relatively stable distribution between the lower clarified layer and the upper float layer. The control process is a closed loop process that monitors the instantaneous height of the vessel contents and computes an error function based on the instantaneous height and a set- point height. The error function is used to periodically adjust the outlet flowrate of the clarified fluid effluent.

Patent CA-2773508-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOUKIOS EMMANOUIL
IPC: C10B53/02
Filed: 2010-09-09
Abstract: A methodology for the removal of the harmful components of ash from urban/industrial wastes and sludges from the sewage treatment plants is invented. The harmful components are alkaline metals, chlorine, sulphur, zinc, lead, and chromium. They are removed before the thermochemical conversion and therefore the corrosion problems, scaling/deposition, ash agglomeration, dioxin and furan emissions, alkaline metal, chlorine, sulphur emissions are minimized if not diminished. The emissions of heavy metals such as zinc, lead, copper, and chromium are reduced. The removal is achieved with prepyrolysis/pregasification at 250-320°C for 5 min to 2 h of urban/industrial wastes and sludges from the sewage treatment plants. Then the prepyrolysed/pregasified sample is washed with a 0.5%-5% weight basis aqueous calcium acetate and/or magnesium acetate and/or aluminum acetate solution. These acetate salts can be mixed in a proportion of 0% to 100% to form an active salt which is used for the preparation of the aqueous solution. Otherwise, they can be used separately to prepare separate solutions for successive extractions with the same results. The proportions used and the use or not of successive extractions depend on the kind and on the composition of the initial material as well as on the desired properties of the material after treatment. Any kind tap water from a public water supply system, spring, etc. can be used for the preparation of aqueous solution. The solid-toliquid ratio is 33g/L to 600 g/L, the temperature varies from 13°C to 95°C, and treatment time is between 5 min to 2.

Title: Tissue-regeneration promoter using recruitment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and/or pluripotent stem cells in blood
Inventor: TAMAI KATSUTO
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2010-10-28
Abstract: Intravenous administration of HMGB-1 and S100A8 was found to cause recruitment of bone-marrow-derived cells to a skin ulceration site and promote healing of the skin ulceration. Also, bone-marrow-derived cells expressing nerve cell markers were found in the brains of stroke model mice administered HMGB-1 intravenously after stroke inducement. In comparison with controls, mice administered HMGB-1 intravenously exhibited pronounced improvement in terms of stroke lesion contraction. Mice administered HMGB-1 intravenously had a higher post-stroke survival rate. Using mice, the involvement of bone-marrow pluripotent stem cells in the bone-fracture healing process was confirmed, which indicates that bone-marrow-derived cells far from the injury site moved to the bone-fracture area to repair injured tissue.

Title: Maternally induced sterility in animals
Inventor: LAUTH XAVIER
IPC: C12N15/06
Filed: 2010-11-23
Abstract: The present invention provides Maternal Sterility Constructs (MSC) and methods of producing sterile progeny lacking germ cells. Female animals carrying the MSC transgene will give rise to a sterile generation, as the MSC specifically eliminates Progenitor Germ Cells (PGCs) of her progeny. These females are called lineage ending females. Male animals carrying the MSC transgene, however, give rise to fertile progeny (assuming the male is not derived from an MSC-transgenic female). Thus, MSC transgenic males can be used to propagate the transgenic line. The invention can be advantageously applied to eliminate pest or invasive species, or to provide effective population control and improve culture performance of farmed species, such as fish and shellfish.

Abstract: Seabed scour about a seabed-mounted foundation or renewable energy device or anchor therefore, especially a wind-turbine monopile may be prevented or reduced by installing on or in the seabed area about the foundation or device an arrangement of interconnected sedimentation elements, which by virtue of the elemental structure or interconnective arrangement themselves do not cause or worsen seabed scour by substantially displacing seabed material on which the elements are placed. Elements having a specific gravity, either in situ or inherent, of substantially similar to the seabed material or mobilized seabed material in which they are placed are capable of achieving this. An ideal arrangement of elements (or mat) is one formed of used or discarded vehicle tyres.
