Patent CA-2535990-A1 (CA)
Title: Fire fighting bucket suspendable from aircraft
Inventor: ROBERTSON MARK
IPC: B64D1/16
Filed: 2003-09-04
Abstract: Firefighting bucket (11) suspended from an aircraft by lines (15), has open top (12A) and a valve at base (13). The valve is attachable to the aircraft by remotely actuatable line (16) and independent movement of lines (15-16) may utilise the weight of the water to facilitate opening and closing of the valve. Dynamic sensing of a bucket attribute, e.g. weight, enables bucket (11) to be filled or discharged by a pre-determined volume by the pilot. Chemical fire retardant may be added by entraining it with water discharging from the valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an orally available galenics formulation of Valproic Acid or derivatives thereof exhibiting a specific bi-phasic pharmacokinetic profile optimized for maximum inhibition of histone deacetylases in a therapeutic setting. This specific galenics formulation is designed for the treatment of malignant diseases and diseases associated with hypoacetylation of histones or in which induction of hyperacetylation has a beneficial effect, e.g., by induction of differentiation and/or apoptosis. Due to the bi-phasic release pattern the resulting pharmacokinetic profile is able to inhibit HDAC target enzymes most efficiently and to subsequently induce histone hyperacetylation in a rapid as well as a long-lasting fashion. This profile secures the efficient modulation of a desired target gene expression profile which contributes to the therapeutic benefit.

Title: Electric power plant with thermal storage medium
Inventor: HOLLIS IRVINE A
IPC: F03D9/02
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: A power plant uses an energy source (1) to produce electricity in a first generator. The electricity from the first generator provides heat to a solid heat storage medium (2). The solid heat storage medium (2) is a heat exchanger and water is pumped through the solid heat storage medium to receive heat in order to convert the water into steam. The steam is then used to drive a set of second generators (4) to produce electricity. In this way, electricity can be produced using heat from the heat storage medium (2) whether or not the energy source (1) is operable. For example, if the energy source (1) is a wind turbine and the wind is not traveling at sufficient velocity to produce electricity, the heat storage medium can be used to convert water into steam, and reheat steam which is then used to generate electricity in a second generator (4).
