Abstract: Precious metal-containing mineral material is subjected to an acidic thiocyanate leach to dissolve the precious metal as a precious metal-thiocyanate complex. A feed of the thiocyanate leach solution may include a large molar ratio of ferric iron to thiocyanate. Precious metal may be removed from pregnant thiocyanate leach solution, such as by transferring precious metal from precious metal-thiocyanate complex to precious metal-cyanide complex and then loading the precious metal-cyanide complex onto an adsorbent material.

Patent CA-2523028-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JENA AKSHAYA
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: A sample having a plurality of pores is located within a pressurizable chamber. The sample divides the chamber into a first volume and a second volume. A known amount of vapor is introduced into the first volume and the second volume at the same pressure (Px). After equilibrium is reached, pressure and decrease in volume of vapor are measured. Pore diameter and pore volume are calculated. A pressure differential is created between the two volumes, and the pressure change is monitored after the pressure differential is introduced. In a preferred embodiment, the pressure is increased in the first volume by a small percentage (DPx), and the pressure change on both sides of the sample is monitored after the pressure increase. The flow rate of the vapor is calculated using the pressure change. These steps are preferably repeated. The pore distribution in the sample is preferably calculated from the flow rates.

Title: Switch/network adapter port incorporating selectively accessible shared memory resources
Inventor: BURTON LEE A
IPC: G06F13/28
Filed: 2004-06-29
Abstract: An enhanced switch/network adapter port incorporating shared memory resources ("SNAPMTM") selectively accessible by a direct execution logic element and one or more dense logic devices in a fully buffered dual in-line memory module ("FB-DIMM") format for clustered computing systems employing direct execution logic such as multi~adaptive processor elements ("MAP®", all trademarks of SRC Computers, Inc.). Functionally, the SNAPM modules incorporate and properly allocate memory resources so that the memory appears to the associated dense logic device(s) (e.g. a microprocessor) to be functionally like any other system memory such that no time penalties are incurred when accessing it.  Through the use of a programmable access coordination mechanism, the control of this memory can be handed off to the SNAPM memory controller and, once in control, the controller can move data between the shared memory resources and the computer network such that the transfer is performed at the maximum rate that the memory devices themselves can sustain. This provides the highest performance link to the other network devices such as MAP® elements, common memory boards and the like.

Patent CA-2540711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HIRATSU KEIICHIRO
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 2005-01-07
Abstract: It is intended to provide a technique of producing a sterile plant by inhibiting the transcription of a gene participating in flower organ formation. A chimeric gene composed of a gene, which encodes a transcriptional factor promoting the expression of a gene participating in flower organ formation, with a polynucleotide, which encodes a functional peptide converting an arbitrary transcriptional factor into a transcriptional inhibitor, is transferred into a plant cell to thereby produce a chimeric protein composed of the above-described transcriptional factor and the above-described functional peptide fused together. As the results of the predominant inhibition of the expression of the gene participating in flower organ formation by the chimeric protein, a male sterile plant which is unable to form normal pollen is produced. The chimeric protein also inhibits the expression of a gene participating in anther dehiscence to thereby give a plant with inhibited anther dehiscence. Furthermore, the chimeric protein inhibits the expression of a gene targeted by a transcriptional factor participating in the formation of stamen and pistil to thereby give a double-flowered plant.

Title: Non-contact article rotating apparatus
Inventor: NEVILLE BRIAN E
IPC: B65G/
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: An non-contact article rotating device is disclosed that rotates articles without impacting or contacting the article other than the bottom of the article. The device is designed to accept a stream of articles with minimum gaps between them, and rotate only those that are programmed to be rotated.  The device accepts any combination of rotated and non-rotated articles and can rotate them through angles up to and through 360 degrees. One embodiment of the disclosed device uses only one single-speed drive motor and pneumatic components to operate two conveyor roller sections. While one conveyor roller section maintains a constant speed, the conveyor rollers of the second conveyor roller section are sequentially braked and unbraked to rotate an article that is positioned partially on the first conveyor roller section and partially on the second conveyor roller section. The difference in speeds between the two conveyor sections rotates the article.
