Title: Process for producing poly-.beta.-hydroxybutyrate
Inventor: YEZZA ABDESSALEM
IPC: C12P7/42
Filed: 2007-03-09
Abstract: A process for producing poly-.beta.-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) involves contacting maple sap with bacteria (e.g Alcaligenes latus) that convert sugars into poly-.beta.-hydroxybutyrate. The use of maple sap is comparable to or better than the use of pure sucrose, and the use of maple sap results in PHB having higher weight average molecular weight than PHB produced from pure sucrose, making maple sap-derived PHB more suitable for commercial utilization.

Abstract: A cementitious container that has a low-frequency radio tag containing the container's pedigree and history. The container is used for storage of hazardous waste are disclosed having an inner layer of substantially unhydrated cement in contact with the hazardous waste and an outer layer of hydrated cement. Cementitious hazardous waste containers may be prepared by compressing powdered hydraulic cement around solid hazardous waste materials as well as the encapsulated radio tag that uses low frequency communication.  This makes it possible to read and write information though the wall of the container as during transportation to a storage site. Once placed at the storage site, the pedigree, (history contents, Chain of Possession, Proof of delivery, weight), may be checked and verified by reading the tag on a regular basis, (once an hour), to confirm the vessel is intact and has not been moved.  Sensors may also be placed on the radio tag to monitor critical parameters like temperature, light levels, movement detectors, and radioactive levels.  These may be reported back via the data-link on a regular basis and may also be used as alarms if one moves outside of a specified range.

Title: Soft shadows for cinematic lighting for computer graphics
Inventor: XIE FENG
IPC: G06T15/60
Filed: 2008-01-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for high quality soft shadows for area lights in cinematic lighting for use in computer graphics, such as computer enabled animation. The method is an extension of traditional shadow maps, so it has the advantage of image based shadow methods; the complexity of the present method is independent of geometric complexity. It uses multilayer translucent shadow maps, which can be used to produce high quality soft shadows for scenes with extremely complex geometry, fur, and volume objects. Instead of the traditional sampling and filtering of shadow maps, the present method computes the shadow factor by ray tracing the multilayer translucent shadow map. The result is soft edged shadows of quality similar to that achieved by conventional stochastic ray tracing, but at much lower computational cost.
