Title: Process for cultivating microorganisms of the genus thraustochytriales
Inventor: LUY MARKUS
IPC: C12N1/14
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: The invention relates to an optimized method for the production of PUFAs by cultivating microorganisms of the order thraustochytriales in a fermentation medium that is pH-stabilized using calcium carbonate and comprises 3 to 15 g/L  of CaCO3, whereupon the PUFAs are isolated from the microorganisms and/or the medium. The invention particularly relates to novel optimized media having a different CaCO3 content. By using adequate quantities of CaCO3, the process can be significantly simplified during fermentation while greater quantities of DHA can be obtained at an increased oil content in the biomass, allowing thraustochytriales microorganisms to be fermented without controlling the pH, thereby substantially improving and significantly simplifying PUFA production.

Title: Panel assembly and method for its production
Inventor: LANGIE STIJN
IPC: B60J10/00
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: The panel assembly comprises a panel (2) and a gasket (1) adhered to the panel and extending along at least a portion of the periphery. For producing the panel assembly a curable composition is applied either directly or indirectly onto the panel and onto a mould surface (6) onto which the panel has been positioned. When being applied on the mould 5 surface, the curable composition has a dynamic viscosity which is lower than the dynamic viscosity of extrusion materials. In this way, a better surface quality can be achieved without having to exert a high pressure onto the curable composition. In contrast to the known RIM processes, the curable composition is not injected in a closed mould but is applied 10 onto an open mould surface by means of an applicator device (9) moving along at least said portion of the periphery of the panel (2). In this way, cheaper moulds can be used and in particular moulds made of a soft, resilient material (8).

Title: Slidable sleeve plunger
Inventor: GIACOMINO JEFFREY L
IPC: F04B47/12
Filed: 2006-11-09
Abstract: An improved plunger lift mechanism comprises an internal hollow body having bypass orifices that, when exposed, allow fluid to pass through during plunger descent in a downhole tube to the bottom of a production well. A slidable sleeve slides along the hollow body to close the orifices, causing the plunger to rise and carry accumulated fluid to the well surface. In addition, the present apparatus comprises surface interfaces between a slidable sleeve and a mandrel to minimize a probability of mandrel and sleeve separation during the plunger's ascent phase and a risk of plunger stall. By integrating a plunger lift having a slidable sleeve with closer limits between the slidable sleeve and an internal hollow body, and a wider plunger surface area, the present apparatus can minimize radial movement which can occur during plunger drop and when impact occurs.

Title: A transaction processing method, apparatus and system
Inventor: OGILVY IAN CHARLES
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2005-06-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to transaction processing, for processing of payments between payer's (usually individual payers) and payee's (usually merchants. Conventionally, a payment transaction involves a user's account details being provided to a merchant device, e.g. by swiping a card in the card swipe of the merchant device. The merchant device then prepares a transaction message including information such as the user's account ID, merchant ID and payment information and forwards that message to a transaction processing system, which may comprise a transaction acquirer and an issuing bank. The transaction processing system approves the payment and returns confirmation to the merchant. In the present invention a device associated with the payer, which in a preferred embodiment is a suitably adapted mobile telephone, becomes involved in the payment transaction process. At one level, the transaction processing system requests from the payer electronic device confirmation that the transaction should proceed and the payer keys in an appropriate PIN to authorise the transaction. At another level, all the transaction processing information is provided from the payer electronic device to the transaction processing system and the transaction processing system or the payer electronic device then confirm that the transaction is authorised to the merchant device. This takes the burden of transaction processing off the merchant and also increases the security of the transaction as the payer is in control. In a further embodiment, the payer electronic device may also upload listings of products and select products at the same time as paying for them, the payee (merchant) being advised of the selected product.

Patent CA-2573931-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEA PETER
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making an assay device for conducting an assay to detect a concentration of an analyte in a sample fluid.  The assay devices would typically have a substantially planar surface having a series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays containing pre-determined quantities of the analyte printed thereon. In addition, a series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays, including capture antibody for binding the analyte protein is printed on the assay device. The method involves first modifying the planar surface to provide hydrophobic binding sites, hydrophilic linking and covalent bonding sites. Then the method requires printing the series of site specific immobilized test spot arrays and the series of site specific immobilized calibration spot arrays on the substantially planar surface. Applying the sample fluid to the assay device is the next step followed by testing a sensitivity of the assay and modulating ratios of the hydrophobic, hydrophilic and covalent binding sites in order to optimize the sensitivity of the assay.
