Patent CA-2590406-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHU REY-CHIN
IPC: F01N3/021
Filed: 2007-05-28
Abstract: A method and an equipment for improving global warming and air pollution are proposed, wherein hot exhaust gas generated by a thermal machine is injected into an exhaust boosting unit to be compressed and mixed with a liquid medium for atomization. Pollutants in the hot exhaust gas and heat generated due to combustion are adsorbed by the liquid medium. After the liquid medium passes a dust collecting unit, the pollutants adsorbed by the liquid medium will adhere to the dust colleting unit. Humid and hot clean air is extracted to the atmosphere, and rises to high altitudes and is cooled there. Water will drop to the ground in the form or rain or snow to cool the ground temperature and remove other pollutants in the air. Heat circulation and water circulation can be sped up to improve the situation of global warming and render more water resource to the Earth.

Abstract: Procedures and means for evaluating effectiveness of bacterial -lethality, following batch-processed containerized food production operations and aseptic-flow food-production operations as containerized in aseptic- containers, in preparing for non- refrigerated marketing are described. The evaluations significantly expedite determining whether thermally-processed containerized food- production is safe for non-refrigerated marketing. The presence or absence of live spore- forming bacteria is determined chemically free of extended storage requirements relying on a mechanical -failure indication of food- spoilage. Also, a biological-indication verification of microbial-biocidal status of the packaged food is made available. The invention determines whether rigid- sheet metal containers, and/or whether any of the new, and newly developing, non- refrigerated food packages, which largely utilize polymeric materials, for convenient microwave -oven heating of opened-packs, and soft polymeric pouch products, are safe for non- refrigerated marketing; and, such determinations are made substantially more concurrently with production-operations, than previously available.

Title: Stable differentiation of adult stem cells
Inventor: SHAMEKH RANIA
IPC: C12N5/00
Filed: 2007-12-27
Abstract: A method of differentiating adult stem cells, such as those derived from a teratocarcinoma cell line, the Ntera2/D1 clone (NT2). The developed cells exhibit a stable neurotransmitter phenotype without the required use of growth factors or retinoic acid in differentiation process, which may be difficult to completely remove during commercial production. An identification of specific neurotransmitters is possible in these differentiated NT2-derived neurons (NT2-N) after 30 days in culture or 30 days survival in vivo. The invention includes a method to stably differentiate neuronal stem/precursor cells to a neuronal phenotype for use in cell replacement therapy for neurodegenerative disease, stroke or spinal cord injury.  At least four different types of neurons are produced from this method of differentiation:  dopaminergic, cholinergic, GABAergic and glutaminergic. Additionally, since the cells are a cancer stem cell prior to differentiation, they may serve as a model system for developing anti-cancer therapies aimed at the cancer stem cell, rather than the more differentiated daughter cell.
