Abstract: A composition for removing contaminants from a chosen solid substrate while avoiding negative environmental impact comprises: (a) an oxidizer selected from the group of (1) oxidizing agents which generate hydrogen peroxide upon dissolution in water, the oxidizing agent present in an amount sufficient to generate from about 0.01 percent by weight of hydrogen peroxide based on the composition up to the solubility limit of the oxidizing agent in the composition, and (2) salts of halogen oxy-acids, present in an amount from about 0.01 percent by weight of the composition up to the solubility limit of the salt of the halogen oxy-acid in the composition; (b) an alkaline compound in sufficient amount to provide a pH of 7.0 or higher in the composition; (c) about 0.01 to 5.0 percent by weight of a chosen wetting agent which is unreactive with the oxidizer and the alkaline compound; and (d) deionized water as the balance of said composition. Optionally, the composition may further comprise about 0.01 to 10.0 percent by weight of a chosen materials protective agent.

Title: Carbonating composition
Inventor: SO REBECCA SUI-CHUN
IPC: A23L2/40
Filed: 1985-11-20
Granted: 1987-12-03
Abstract: Dry, stable carbonating agents comprised of a carbohydrate/metal bicarbonate complex are disclosed. The complex is prepared by reacting a carbohydrate with a metal hydroxide or oxide at a temperature not exceeding 25 DEG C to form a carbohydrate/metal hydroxide adduct to which carbon dioxide is then introduced to form the complex.

Patent AU-734688-B2 (AU)
Title: Endolumenal stent-graft with leak-resistant seal
Inventor: THORNTON TROY
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1997-12-09
Granted: 2001-06-21
Abstract: An implantable medical device has a tubular member and a sealing member secured to an outer surface of the tubular member. The tubular member is expandable to engage an endolumenal wall and has a lumen for providing an artificial conduit for flow through an endolumenal space defined by that wall. The seal member occludes flow around the tubular member between the outer surface and the endolumenal wall. One suitable tubular member for use in the present invention is a stent-graft which may be bifurcated for use in protecting vascular wall malformations adjacent to vascular bifurcations against endolumenal pressure and flow. The seal member may be a flange that is oriented on the outer surface at one end of the tubular member as a one-way valve against flow. Multiple seal members may be used, either on opposite ends of the tubular member or in series at one end thereof. Where anchors are used to secure the tubular member to the endolumenal wall, the seal member is positioned to protect against flow through leakage paths formed at localized areas of deformation in the tubular wall adjacent to the anchors. One or more seal members may also be used with two or more tubular members to prevent flow through endolumenal spaces that remain open to flow due to gaps between the multiple, parallel tubular members.

Title: Process for shipping and ripening fruits and vegetables using a controlled atmosphere container system for perishable products
Inventor: HERDEMAN ROBERT W
IPC: A23L3/3418
Filed: 1994-06-08
Granted: 1997-12-18
Abstract: A controlled atmosphere container system for shipping, storing, and ripening perishable products, wherein the container system includes a plurality of individual, transportable containers to be cconnected from time to time with a central source for providing acontrolled atmosphere to those containers. A controller enables the container system to optimally allocate the capacity of the central source of the controlled atmosphere based upon the relative atmospheric conditions of the containers attached thereto and the capacity of the source according to a predetermined hierarchy of priorities for allocating the controlled atmosphere gas to the individual containers. In a preferred arrangement, the central source for the controlled atmosphere gas includes at least one distribution control unit which acts to selectively direct controlled  atmosphere gas to individual containers in accordance with the allocation hierarchy of the system. The same containers are used to implement a method for uniformly controlling the ripening of bananas and other perishable products from harvest to delivery during shipping. Freshly harvested, unripened perishable products are loaded into the containers and cooled to a holding temperature in a range of from about 57  DEG F to about 70  DEG F. One the products are stabilized at the desired holding temperature, a controlled atmosphere including ethylene is substantially immediately provided to the internal volume to uniformly initiate ripening of all of the loaded products. Once ripening has been initiated, the ethylene is reduced within the internal volume by displacement with a low oxygen controlled atmosphere, which is maintained within the container during storage, transportation, and delivery procedures. Prior to unloading the ripened products from the container, the atmosphere within the internal volume is returned to normal conditions. Once the loaded products have been stabilized at the desired holding temperature and exposed to the ethylene atmosphere to initiate ripening procedures, adjustments to the controlled atmosphere and temperature within the internal volume can be utilized to "tune" the ripening process as desired to provide ripened products for delivery within a range of timing schedules.

Title: New bacillus thuringiensis strains and their genes encoding insecticidal toxins
Inventor: PEFEROEN MARNIX
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1991-04-24
Granted: 1993-08-05
Abstract: Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains, which are deposited at the DSM under accession numbers 5870 and 5871, produce new crystal proteins during sporulation that are toxic to Coleoptera and that are encoded by new genes. The crystal proteins contain protoxins, which can yield toxins as trypsin-digestion products. A plant, the genome of which is transformed with a DNA sequence that comes from either one of the strains and encodes an insecticidally effective portion of its respective protoxin or encodes its respective toxin, is resistant to Coleoptera. Each strain, itself, or its crystals, crystal proteins, protoxin, toxin and/or insecticidally effective protoxin portion can be used as the active ingredient in an insecticidal composition for combatting Coleoptera.
