Patent CA-2437753-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SONG YONG
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: Fusion proteins in which glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a fusion partner are used as an immobilized binding member in screening procedures or other multi-analyte test procedures based on protein interaction. In such procedures, a particular protein is selected from a group of candidate proteins on the basis of the binding affinity of that protein for a target protein, with either the candidate proteins or the target protein being a fusion partner with GST and the GST portion of the fusion partner having been immobilized on glutathione-coated particles by the binding of GST to glutathione. The particles themselves are classifiable by different values of a differentiation parameter that permits them to be distinguished by flow cytometry, and the procedure is conducted in a manner that associates the individual candidate proteins with individual classes of the particles. When a binding interaction occurs between a candidate protein and the target protein, the particles on which the interaction has occurred are readily distinguished by flow cytometry and correlated with the candidate protein that exhibited the binding.

Patent CA-2489946-A1 (CA)
Title: Water flow turbine
Inventor: MINA KAMEAL
IPC: F03B3/04
Filed: 2005-01-05
Abstract: In a device to generate power from flowing water, the water flows inside the host body (6) of the turbine and rotates the rotor (2), which rotates an electrical generator (10) to produce electricity. The Water Flow Turbine converts the kinetic energy in the flowing water into electrical energy. A mathematical derivation shows that power can be magnified by funnelling. This magnification of the power is proportional to the square of the ratio of the inlet area (1L or 1R) of the host body (6) to the area of the rotor (2) projected area. This magnification of power implies smaller size rotors, which reduce the cost and mechanical problems associated with rotation. Flow director (7) is used to direct the flow when reverses, instead of directing the whole underwater turbine. This device belongs to tidal power, and can work either for unidirectional flow or oscillatory flows.
