Patent CA-2452700-C (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for photocatalytic and thermocatalytic pollution control
Inventor: TABATABAIE-RAISSI ALI
IPC: B01J19/12
Filed: 1999-04-08
Granted: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A new method for design and scale-up of photocatalytic and thermocatalytic processes is disclosed. The method is based on optimizing photoprocess energetics by decoupling of the process energy efficiency from the DRE for target contaminants. The technique is applicable to both low-and high-flux photoreactor design and scale-up. The low-flux method is based on the implementation of natural biopolymeric and other low-pressure drop media support for titanium dioxide and other band-gag photocatalysts. The high-flux method is based on the implementation of multifunctional metal oxide aerogels and other media in conjunction with a novel rotating fluidized particle bed reactor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for reducing the width of a plurality of longitudinal slots or other openings spaced circumferentially around a slotted tubular member. The invention includes a seaming roller positioned to contact the outer surface of the slotted tubular member for transverse movement across the plurality of slots, and adapted to apply a force onto the slotted tubular member so as to reduce the slot width. The width of the plurality of slots is detected and compared to a set value indicative of a desired end slot width and based on this comparison, varying means connected to the seaming roller, vary the force applied by the seaming roller to the plurality of slots. Each opening is varied by the seaming roller to have a profile with a width, that throughout the length of the slot profile, varies no more than a given tolerance from the desired end slot width. The invention also provides a slotted tubular liner comprising a metal slotted tubular member formed with a plurality of longitudinal slots <= 3.175 mm in width spaced circumferentially around the member, each slot having been cut and then transversely seamed to have a profile with a width tolerance, that throughout the length of the slot profile, varies no more than +/-0.0127 mm, and preferably varies no more than +/-0.00762 mm from a desired end slot width.

Inventor: BRIGHTON CARL T
IPC: C12N13/00
Filed: 2004-06-09
Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: A method of determining the voltage and current output required for the application of specific and selective electric and electromagnetic signals to diseased articular cartilage in the treatment of osteoarthritis, cartilage defects due to trauma or sports injury, or used as an adjunct with other therapies (cell transplantation, tissueengineered scaffolds, growth factors, etc.) for treating cartilage defects in the human knee joint and a device for delivering such signals to a patient's knee. An analytical model of the human knee is developed whereby the total tissue volume in the human knee may be determined for comparison to the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue in the animal model using electric field and current density histograms. The voltage and current output used in the animal model is scaled based on the ratio of the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue of the human to the total tissue volume of the diseased tissue in the animal model and the resulting field is applied to the diseased tissue of the human using at least two electrodes applied to the knee or a coil or solenoid placed around the knee. The voltage of the signal applied to the electrodes, coil or solenoid is varied based on the size of the knee joint; larger knee joints require larger voltages to generate the effective electric field.
