Title: Procedure to leach copper concentrates, under pressure and at ambient temperature, by forming a colloidal mass in a sulfate - chloride medium
Inventor: GUTIERREZ ABRAHAM BACKIT
IPC: C22B15/14
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: Chemical procedure in the presence of a concentrated solution of sulfates and chlorides to leach copper concentrates, which is characterized by forming a high reactivity chemical paste containing a high concentration of ions in the liquid phase of the paste, which after some time, react with the copper ores and form a series of soluble salts, which are extracted by means of a simple wash. To carry out this procedure, a mixing equipment, capable of handling high viscosity liquids, is used. The total mixing time is some 5 minutes, after which the paste is poured into a rectangular mold, of several hundred meters per side, resembling due to its size a leaching pile or a sun evaporation well, and is left settling and breathing, that is, spreading the oxygen required by the reactions.      During the settling time, water and sulfuric acid is added at intervals for the purpose to replace that consumed by the reactions taking place during the aeration, until said reactions virtually end. This treatment results in a dry, very resistant mass, containing the copper extracted in form of chlorine salts, and sulfate.

Title: Simplified deallocation of memory for programming objects
Inventor: LARI MOHAMMED SHOAIB
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2003-04-28
Abstract: A method for providing memory management for objects is described. Specifically, techniques are described for providing common memory managemen t code to objects that are instances of different classes and for releasing a memory management subtree that starts with a particular object in the memory management tree. A memory management template provides common pre-processor memory management code. A specialized version of the memory management template is used to create a specialized template subclass. When a memory management operator of an object that is an instance of the specialized template subclass is invoked the common memory management code in the specialized template is executed. Memory is associated with each object in a hierarchical tree. Data for the memory is maintained that reflects the hierarchical tree relationship between the objects. A subtree and the associated memory can be released without an application program tracking th e relationships.

Title: No-apical meristem proteins, polynucleotides and methods of use for same
Inventor: DANILEVSKAYA OLGA
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of t he protein ZMNAM isolated from maize endosperm. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZMNAM gene. ZMNAM is a novel gene and is regulated by gene- specific imprinting. ZMNAM expression is endosperm-specific and expressed throughout the endosperm development, peaking at 25DAP. Genomic imprinting h as been implicated to play a role in endosperm development. Genes regulated by allele-specific imprinting are suspected to be non-essential to seed development. Gene-specific imprinting however, regulates developmentally important genes. The ZMNAM gene, a putative transcriptional factor, may play an important role in endosperm development, which may further affect kernel size, plant vigor during germination and at the early seedling stage.</SDOAB >

Patent CA-2494617-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHAN ABDUL-BASIT
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: In this description of our invention, many interesting and revolutionary and evolutionary ideas have been launched. Please refer to the web site: www.infodynamics-research.org for further detailed explanations.   The invention begins by showing a process model for the customer operations and provisioning group of an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier. This is a system being modeled in terms of information flows, based on the quantum definition of information presented later. In this process the correlation between time (and incremental changes in time) with information (in terms of incremental changes in information) are described. In system terms the effects of quantum values of information on entropy (disorder in the system) and changes in entropy with time (as information flows) are modeled. This model is the foundation of the product space for the new products introduced in the second part of this paper.   It can be seen that this entire process of provisioning and information flows can be optimized, if a quantum definition of information, defining quality and quantity of information, and defining information as an elementary force and field, possibly equivalent to the hypothetical Higgs field, where the Higgs Bosons are, in fact, the particle proposed in this paper: Infoton. A detailed description of Higgs particles and Higgs force is presented in Appendix 2. A strove correlation to the Infoton is described by the following links:   http://pdg.lbl.gov/atlas/etours physics/etours physics09.html http://pdg.lbl.gov/atlas/etours physics/etours physics10.html Process optimization, re-definition of information at a quantum level, relationship described between entropy, time and information, all lead to three new products for converging communication networks: (I) an intelligent unified capacity agent, which is an artificial intelligence based expert system (consisting of several knowledge modules, specified below) (ii) an information based/content based billing system (iii) an Infoton switch based on a principle similar to the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle, and quantum symmetry and pairing of elementary particles actually applicable to information retention and loss.   These products lead to another theoretical arena and a hypothetical proposition (Appendix 1): Particle nature of information and wave nature of time. This proposition, taking into account information symmetry and completeness and correlation with time, directly provides a new evolutionary perspective for Economics impacting:  Price theory.
