Title: Removal of ammonia from wastewater using zeolite in cyclic process
Inventor: BERRY W WES
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 1985-12-02
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the continuous removal of ammonia from wastewater which converts the otherwise undesirable ammonia to a commercially useful end product such as ammonium phosphate. The process is carried out in an Advanced Separation Device which comprises a plurality of chambers moving about a circular path in periodic fluid communication with a plurality of fixed feed and discharge ports. The chambers are filled with a zeolite adsorbent which effectively adsorbs the ammonium ions contained in the wastewater at low pH levels but which, when contacted with an alkaline regeneration solution, releases the previously adsorbed ammonium in the form of ammonia gas, for which the zeolite has no affinity. By virtue of the ASD design, it is possible to add acidic materials to the wastewater in an intra-stage fashion i.e. during the adsorption step so as to optimize process efficiency. Similarly, intra-stage addition of alkaline materials during the regeneration step results in increased process efficiency. The process may be practiced with both industrial and municipal wastewaters.

Title: A method for in vitro molecular evolution of protein function
Inventor: BORREBAECK CARL ARNE KRISTER
IPC: C07K16/44
Filed: 1998-01-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for in vitro creation of molecular libraries evolution of protein function. Particularly, it relates to variability and modification of protein function by shuffling polynucleotide sequence segments. A protein of desired characteristics can be obtained by incorporating variant peptide regions (variant motifs) into defined peptide regions (scaffold sequence). The variant motifs can be obtained from parent DNA which has been subjected to mutagenesis to create a plurality of differently mutated derivatives thereof or they can be obtained from in vivo sequences. These variant motifs can then be incorporated into a scaffold sequence and the resulting coded protein screened for desired characteristics. This method is ideally used for obtaining antibodies with desired characteristics by isolating individual CDR DNA sequences and incorporating them into a scaffold which may, for example, be from a totally different antibody. <IMAGE>

Title: Macroscopically expanded three-dimensional polymeric web for transmitting both dynamically deposited & statically contacted fluids from one surface to the other
Inventor: OUELLETTE WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: A61F13/511
Filed: 1986-05-30
Abstract: A macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional fluid-handling polymeric web having first and second surfaces located in substantially parallel planes which are remote from one another. The web includes a multiplicity offluid-handling capillary networks of macroscopic cross-section for rapidly transmitting fluids which are dynamically deposited on the first surface of said web to the second surface of said web using the dynamic and gravitational head of the fluid as a primary driving force. Each of the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks originates as an aperture in the first surface of the web and has a continuously interconnected sidewall extending in the direction of the second surface of said web. The continuously interconnected sidewall terminates to form at least one aperture in the second surface of said web, whereby the bulk of the dynamically deposited fluid is transmitted from the first surface to the second surface of said web by the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks. The first surface of the web in which the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks originate further includes a multiplicity of fluid-handling capillary networks which are substantially smaller in cross-section than the macroscopic cross-section fluid-handling capillary networks. The smaller fluid-handling capillary networks exhibit a degree of capillary suction sufficient to transmit static fluid contained on the surface of objectswhich contact the first surface of said web generally in the direction of the second surface of said web by capillary attraction. In a preferred embodiment the smaller fluid handling capillary networks are oppositely oriented from the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks to provide improved visual and tactile impression as well as to enhance the volume of dynamically deposited fluid which flows into the macroscopic cross-section capillary networks.
