Title: Metallic structure for integrating a hydraulic concrete slab to be used as a cover or floor structure in buildings or housing, as well as an in-site assembling process thereof.
Inventor: GARCIA LEOPOLDO BRENA
IPC: E04C5/01
Filed: 2004-12-14
Abstract: The present invention refers to a metal structure for the integration of a hydraulic concrete slab useful as a cover or floor structure into buildings or housing, the structure maintaining the stability required for preventing the slab from falling during, and subsequently, the casting process. One of the most important disadvantages of metal structures that are used for integrating hydraulic concrete slabs is that the structural stability of the elements forming the same, particularly solepieces, is lost, thereby causing the slab to fall while being cast. According to the present invention, metallic structures are provided with a lock to prevent stability loses, said lock being formed by transversally arranged solepieces having grooves to be adjusted into the load solepieces, said locks being preferably placed at the headwalls of the structure in order to support the load solepieces which are vertically arranged; this vertical position is essential for supporting the axial load of th e system.

Title: Aquatic lily conditioning and process, a food alternative.
Inventor: SOTO JOSE EMILIO VARGAS
IPC: A23L1/00
Filed: 2006-02-17
Abstract: The main principle of the disclosure is to promote the use and to take advantage of conditioned and processed aquatic lily as an agent for absorbing and adsorbing organic substances, residues and/or wastes, as well as minerals and/or chemical products so as to provide food alternatives to humans and animals. Moreover, it is intended to enter into the food sector for reducing the level of organic discharges in soils and water for gradually recovering the water and ecosystems quality. The present invention is intended to orient strategic actions regarding three challenging problems for the country; the first refers to the handle and control of aquatic lily. The second refers to the pollution of water and soils. And the third refers to food insecurity and poverty. In that sense, this work allows us to visualize, invent, generate and change paradigms, thus opening alternatives for moving forward to the future. It also exposes the experience and knowledge about the uses and alternative app lications of processed and conditioned aquatic lily as a food alternative for humans and animals, thus describing the following aspects: - The sensibility and importance of providing a use and a productive value to aquatic lily. - The need to provide alternatives for using processed and conditioned aquatic lily. - The stages of the creative and innovative process are distinguished and clearly and accurately established. - Opportunity areas for the industrial and economical application thereof are identified. - Creativity and solutions for some problems generated due to soil and water pollution is promoted - Interdisciplinary groups for developing alternatives regarding the use of processed and conditioned aquatic lily are allowed. Finally, our legitimate enthusiasm is translated into the capacity of producing worthy novel products, which have an influence on the standard of living and comfort of humans, thus confirming the thesis that matter cannot be created or destroyed only transfo rmed.
