Patent CA-2120611-A1 (CA)
Title: Process for dust-free enzyme manufacture
Inventor: BECKER NATHANIEL T
IPC: C12N11/10
Filed: 1991-10-10
Abstract: This invention relates to processes for manufacture of substantially dust-free particles of enzymes by spray-coating solid particulate cores or seeds with fermentation broths containing enzymes.  Fermentation broths containing from 5 % to 100 % total solids as enzyme and 4 % - 55 % total solids content in the broth may be used.  For broths containing 4 % - 31 % total solids, en-zyme and coating agents may be spray-coated so as to achieve a weight gain of 1 % - 24 % w/w aver the initial weight of the cores. For broths with 31 % - 55 % total solids; a corresponding weight gain of 1 % -100 % may be achieved. The enzyme coated cores may be further coated with coating agents: The total dry weight added to the cores ranges from 1 % to 19 % in the absence of coat-ing agents and 1 % to 24 % in the presence of coating agents when the lower range of total solids content is used. The fatal dry weight added to the cares ranges from 1 % to 100 % when the higher range of total solids content is used. These conditions are especially useful in the granulation of enzymes with very high specific activities, so that effective enzyme activity can be provided by adding low amounts of broth solids to the cores. Reduction in added solids is of significant economic benefit in reducing gran-ulation costs.

Title: Spray interface for a mass spectrometer for direct analysis of volatiles in blood
Inventor: MONTGOMERY JANE A
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1995-04-05
Abstract: A method and device for isolating volatile compounds  from  a  liquid,  in  particular  but  not exclusively blood, uses a spray chamber and a nozzle oriented downwardly which produces a jet of carrier gas and liquid projected onto the bottom wall of the spray chamber.  The nozzle reduces the liquid into a mass  of  droplets  from  the  surface  of  which  the volatile compounds evaporate.  A flow of carrier gas transporting the evaporated compounds leaves the spray chamber through an exit port located in the top wall of the chamber.  The exit port is therefore located outside the mass of droplets to reduce the amount of liquid in the flow of carrier gas leaving the chamber. The volatile compounds plus carrier gas pass through a jet separator which transmits the volatile compounds to a mass spectrometer for analysis.

Patent CA-2152851-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARAM PHILIP JOSEPH
IPC: F21V25/00
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: A double wall lamp assembly adaptable to several types or configurations  of small to  medium size  reading lamps, which basic designs and types of single wall construction  have been in  use for  many  years, however  this  invention has  a very important  difference in the  design and  construction details which  offers inherent safety features  not found in the lamps of the single  wall basic designs and styles such as described herein. The very important differences are: [a] the double wall feature with adequate air space between the walls. [b] a double  wall feature with  porous or  fibrous material between the walls {c}  a drastic reduction  in the heat transfer  From the inner wall or body to the outer wall or body when the lamp is in use, thereby making the outer lamp body or wall safe for human  contact. [d] a definite reduction  in incidents of fire and/or burns due to carelessness.     The  most common  types of  small  to medium  size  lamps similar in configuration  to the lamps covered by  this patent are of single wall {body} construction and largely confined to desk  types, wall types, goose  neck types, pole types and bed headboard  types,  which,  when  used  are  usually  in  close proximity to the user.    These types normally use a 60 watt bulb, and when turned on for a considerable length of time, upwards of thirty minutes,  will  result  in  the lamp  body  getting  very hot, upwards of 200  degrees Farenheit, and  could cause a burn  to the user when touched  or handled in a careless manner,  or if used improperly, could  cause a fire. The  regular or standard types of  single wall  lamps are usually  made of sheet  steel with  baked  on  enamel surfaces  or  of plain  or  color dye-anodized aluminum.         However the outer  wall or body  of the double  wall lamps covered  by this  patent can  also be  made of the  same materials  or could  be made  of a  high density,  dent proof, plastic  material that  can withstand  a reasonable  amount of heat and offer the desired safety features.    In the United States, one will discover that the types of small  to medium  size, single wall  lamps referred  to herein usually have a  warning printed or stamped on the lower inside surface of  the wall  or body, which  is probably a  mandatory requirement, and reads as follows;        " CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE 60 WATT OR        SMALLER TYPE OF LAMP."
