Abstract: A unique DHA product, 10, 17S-docosatriene ("Neuroprotectin D1" or "NPD1"), was found to provide surprisingly effective neuroprotection when administered right after an experimental stroke. Moreover, both nerve cells and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were found to synthesize 10,175-docosatriene (NPD 1) from DHA. NPD 1 also potently counteracted H2O2/TNF.alpha. oxidative stress-mediated cell apoptotic damage. Under the same oxidative-stress conditions, NPDI up-regulated the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, and decreased expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins, Bad and Bax.  Moreover, in RPE cells NPD1 inhibited oxidative stress-induced caspase-3 activation, IL-l.szlig.-stimulated human COX-2 promoter expression, and apoptosis due to N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E). Overall, NPD1 protected both nerve and retinal pigment epithelial cells from cellular apoptosis and damage due to oxidative stress. NPD1 concentration in the brain of Alzheimer's patients was found to be significantly decreased from that of controls. In cultured human brain cells, NPD1 synthesis was up-regulated by neuroprotective soluble .szlig. amyloid, and NPD 1 was found to inhibit secretion of toxic .szlig. amyloid peptides.

Title: Environmental clean-up system
Inventor: REINHARDT ALDON R
IPC: A62D3/00
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: An efficient high-temperature water vapor generator (100) is used to de-contaminate soil. The vapor generator includes a combustion chamber (130) and a surrounding structure (101), wherein a cavity (131) is located therebetween.  Water is routed through the cavity (131) and into the combustion chamber, where water vapor and heat are generated in the presence of fuel, ignition and air. The generated heat pre-heats the water in the cavity, thereby creating an efficient system. The water vapor is forced into a vapor tube (313) (which has openings for emitting the vapor), thereby heating the vapor tube to temperatures of 800 degrees (F) or greater. A soil tube (324) having lifting paddles (1-4) located therein surrounds the vapor tube. Contaminated soil enters one end of the soil tube. The soil tube is rotated, thereby moving the contaminated soil into contact with the vapor tube (decontaminating the soil).  Lifting paddles move the soil toward the second end of the rotating soil tube.

Title: System and method for optimizing linehaul operations
Inventor: SATIR SALIM
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2006-07-04
Abstract: The efficiency of transportation operations is one of the factors having a significant effect on the country's economic growth. A case study for Day and Ross Inc. (D & R) was used to develop and implement this precent invention to improve the efficiency of general linehaul trucking operations. D & R is one of the biggest Canadian trucking companies, which provides service in the US as well as to 0.1 spatially scattered terminals across Canada through its linehaul operations. A linehaul operation, one of the biggest contributors to the total operating cost of a trucking company, involves moving full trailer loads of less than truck, load or full truck load shipments using owner-operator and/or company tractors. The lack of software specifically designed for linehaul planning and scheduling motivated the development of an Integrated Optimization System that could primarily assist planners in making their daily operational decisions and also help in reducing the total operating cost or any linehaul trucking company. The System can also assist the Management in making tactical and strategic decisions.   The four major quantifiable factors contributing to the total operating cost in linehaul operations are the full miles, empty miles, brokered miles, and wait-time cost. The Optimization Model was developed to minimize the total operating cost by taking all essential decision variables into account, by increasing the full miles while minimizing the empty miles, broker miles, and wait-time cost. The Model is a unique hybrid model, which uses a modified exact solution assignment algorithm incorporating several heuristics that were specifically developed to maximize efficiency gains, all within an acceptable computation time. The efficiency improvements were obtained while meeting a number of operational and regulatory constraints and customer requirements.   The final results show that using the Optimization system developed in this preset invention can achieve an approximate 4.8% reduction in the total operating cost. This translates into approximately $6.5million in savings for D & R for the year 2005, if the system had been used instead of existing manual planning methods. Some of the non--quantifiable benefits resulting from the use of the Optimization system are higher customer, planner, and owner-operator satisfaction.

Patent CA-2557738-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAWKINS TERRY
IPC: E04F17/02
Filed: 2006-08-24
Abstract: Typically, the installation of a chimney or flue involves the use of metal or other approved chimney materials and apparatus. These are known to be unsightly, especially on newer homes, and detract from the overall appearance of the dwelling. A traditional solution to hiding said chimney apparatus involves the manufacture of a "box" or "chase" from conventional wood products, and is usually covered in Vinyl siding, clapboarding or parged with concrete.   In this invention, a pre-manufactured Chase is produced from fibreglass or other composite materials in such a way as to resemble very closely a Stone chimney when installed on the roof over existing metal or standard brick flue work.     This creates the look of an authentic stone chimney, while at the same time aiding in the prevention of damage to the conventional chimney from the elements.   The chase is easily shipped in four identical units or sides for assembly at the site, and is easily trimmed at the lower edge to facilitate the particular pitch of the roof. A cap or cover can then be added to keep snow, leaves and other wind-born debris from building up within the chase cavity.     Additionally, the assembled chase unit may be used as a Garbage box when combined with a suitable lid, or for use in any number of applications such as weather proof bar or counter skirts, flower or shrub containers
