Patent CA-2532286-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOLDUC LYSANE
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2006-01-05
Abstract: A method is provided herein for the lowering of the concentration of phosphorus in wastewater. The method includes the first step of adding a suitable amount of an aluminium-silicate composite coagulant to a supply of wastewater containing phosphates maintained at a pH of between about 4.5 to about 6.7 with or without the additional use of an inorganic acid, thereby to provide an eventual effluent stream of filterable flocs of aluminium phosphate which are dispersed in the treated wastewater. The method includes the second step of filtering the effluent stream of treated wastewater containing the filterable flocs of aluminium phosphate, to provide an effluent stream of water typically containing about 0.03 mg/l phosphorus to as low and lower than current detection limits for total phosphorous (i.e., commonly < 0.01 mg/l and as low as < 0.002 mg/l).  The phosphorus removal is one of several steps of the physical-chemical and biological treatment of wastewater and occurs at a point of the process where sufficient treatment has already taken place (i.e., TSS and BOD concentrations have been reduced using physical-chemical and biological methods).

Abstract: A connector for establishing electrical connection between a testing device and a test strip (40) with a biological fluid thereon includes a contact pad (42) on the test strip, and one or more contact wires (50) in the testing device. When the strip is inserted into the testing device, the end of the strip engages with a bight (56) in the contact wire, pushing the contact wire in a direction normal to the direction of insertion. The movement of the contact wire forces a second portion (58) of the wire against a part of the housing, thereby deforming the wire and moving another portion (62) of the wire toward the contact pad. Some embodiments of the invention include (4, 6, 8, 15) or more contacts, which may be situated so as to receive the end of the test strip substantially simultaneously, or may be staggered in (2, 3) or more rows to spread out the resistance to movement presented.

Abstract: A vial-based system and method for handling and processing specimens of particulate matter-containing liquid directly in the vial. A processing assembly (40), which includes a stirrer (45) and a particulate matter separation chamber (46), is releasably coupled to the inside of a vial cover (30). The processing assembly (40) remains with the cover (30) when the vial is opened to insert a specimen therein. Application of an external force to the cover (30) detaches the processing assembly from the cover so that it remains in the vial, for access by automated or manual laboratory equipment, when the cover (30) is discarded. Sealing and drainage features help prevent cross-contamination during specimen processing.
