Title: Oxidation system employing internal structure for enhanced hydrodynamics
Inventor: STRASSER WAYNE SCOTT
IPC: B01J19/26
Filed: 2006-12-20
Abstract: Disclosed is an optimized process and apparatus for more efficiently and economically carrying out the liquid-phase oxidation of an oxidizable compound.

Inventor: BRUNE THOMAS
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 2006-12-04
Abstract: For recording or replaying in real-time digital high bandwidth video signals, e.g. HDTV, HD progressive or HD film capture signals, very fast memories are required. For storage of streaming HD video data NAND FLASH memory based systems could be used. Flash memory devices are physically accessed in a page oriented mode. According to the invention, the input data are written in a multiplexed fashion into a matrix of multiple flash devices. A list processing is performed that is as simple and fast as possible, and defect pages of flash blocks of single flash devices are addressed within the matrix architecture. When writing in a sequential manner, the data content for the current flash device page of all flash devices of the matrix is copied to a corresponding storage area in an additional memory buffer. After the current series of pages has been written without error into the flash devices, the corresponding storage area in an additional memory buffer is enabled for overwriting with following page data. In case an error occurred in the current page in one or more flash devices, the content of these current pages is kept in the additional memory buffer.

Patent CA-2655168-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERREIRA LINO
IPC: A61L29/16
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides enable an alternate approach to developing antimicrobial coatings due to their targeting of the membranes of the bacteria. High specific activity is achieved by orienting the peptides so that the antimicrobial ends of the peptides maximally contact the bacteria. In one embodiment, one end of the peptide is covalently attached directly to the substrate. In another embodiment, the peptides are immobilized on the substrate using a coupling agent or tether. Non-covalent methods include coating the peptide onto the substrate or physiochemically immobilizing the peptides on the substrate using highly specific interactions, such as the biotin/avidin or streptavidin system. The compositions are substantially non-leaching, antifouling, and non-hemolytic. The immobilized peptides retain sufficient flexibility and mobility to interact with and be endocytosed by the bacteria, viruses, and/or fungi upon exposure. Immobilizing the peptides to the substrate reduces concerns regarding toxicity of the peptides and the development of antimicrobial resistance, while presenting substantially all of the peptide at the site of action at the surface of the substrate.

Patent CA-2665620-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COOPER MARK J
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: A synthetic hCFTR DNA sequence has been developed that produces remarkably high levels of hCFTR mRNA and protein in dosed murine lungs and human cells in culture compared to the natural hCFTR cDNA. This synthetic DNA addresses.problems inherent in some natural cDNAs, such as premature transcriptional truncation sites introduced during cDNA synthesis. Introns are initially present in mRNA until the mRNA is processed. cDNA made from processed mRNA is devoid of introns. Thus DNA sequences (exon junctions) are present in a cDNA molecule which are not present in cells in nature. These exon junctions may affect transcription. Methods for improving expression of CFTR are based on sequence changes in cDNA molecules. The improvement methods may be applied to other cDNA molecules which are refractory to in vivo expression efforts. Compositions embodying the sequence changes increase the production of both transgenic mRNA and protein from cDNA molecules.
