Patent CA-2769916-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAYBOLD TROY M
IPC: C10G69/02
Filed: 2010-07-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for producing a treated hydrocarbon containing stream for use as a feed to a steam methane reformer of a hydrogen plant. In accordance with such method, amounts of olefins and organic sulfur species within an untreated feed are decreased in a reactor that is operated in either a hydrogenation mode to hydrogenate the olefins into saturated hydrocarbons or a pre-reforming mode in which hydrocarbon containing two or more carbon atoms including the olefins are reacted with oxygen and steam to form saturated hydrocarbons, methane, additional hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The reactor is configured and operates at a sufficiently high space velocity that olefin and organic species slip occurs that is further treated in a hydrotreater. The reactor contains a catalyst capable of promoting both hydrogenation and oxidation reactions and the hydrotreater contains a catalyst that is capable of only promoting hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic immunization, specifically with the use of a novel hepatitis B virus (HBV) antigen formulation for cell stimulation. The formulation is formed by HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and nucleocapsid antigen (HBcAg) precipitates in suspension. The formulation contains said antigens as precipitates in suspension as particles with sizes less than 500 nm and greater than 500 nm, in a mixture in which the proportion between the particles of the sizes mentioned is between 50% - 50% and 80% - 20%, respectively. The selection of a range of particle sizes allows the levels of stimulation of various cell types to be maximized. In addition, a description is given of a method for cell stimulation using said formulation and the subsequent passive immunization of patients with chronic hepatitis B, based on the maximum in vivo or in vitro stimulation of heterologous or autologous cells (dendritic cells, B cells and macrophages). The cells stimulated with this formulation are transferred to patients with a chronic HBV infection.

IPC: G01V15/00
Filed: 2011-03-24
Abstract: A system and method for reducing the occurrence of false alarms in metal detection systems and combination EAS/metal detection systems. The system includes a motion sensor mounted on or near an antenna housing, such as an EAS pedestal, at the entrance/exit of a given interrogation zone. The motion sensor detects movement or vibration of the antenna housing. The sensor transmits signals to a controller that determines if the antenna housing has moved a predetermined amount. The system includes a metal detection module that determines if metal objects are proximate the pedestal. If metal objects are detected, a metal detection alarm is enabled. However, if it is determined that the antenna housing is moving or vibrating at least a predetermined amount, the controller inhibits generation of the metal detection alarm signal.

Abstract: A molded multi-layer article has an interior layer contained within inner and outer layers. The article is molded by co-injecting the inner, outer, and interior layer materials into a mold defining a cavity. The interior layer material is caused to flow along a steam line offset from the zero velocity gradient of the combined material flow in a manner so that the interior layer material flow stream does not flow along or cross the zero velocity gradient yet has a greater flow velocity than the average flow velocity of the combined flow front. These methods and apparatus can mold four or more multilayer articles at once, each having an interior layer extending throughout 95% or more of the sealable portion of the article. The interior layer of a resultant article can extend throughout 99% or more of the sealable portion of the article.
