Patent CA-2556033-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved particle interactions in a fluid flow
Inventor: KALT PETER ANTHONY MARKUS
IPC: B01F23/00
Filed: 2005-02-09
Abstract: Interaction between two different species of particle(s) in a fluid stream is promoted by generating turbulent eddies (1, 2) in a fluid stream. The turbulente eddies are designed to be of such size and/or intensity that the different sized particle(s) are entrained into the eddies to significantly different extents and forced to follow different trajectories (3, 4), increasing the likelihood of collisions and interactions. Optimum collision rates will occur for a system which maintains a Stokes Number (St) much less than 1 for one sized particle, and or order 1 or greater for the other sized particle. The invention has particular application in air pollution control, whereby agglomeration of fine particles into larger particles is promoted, subsequent to their removal.

Patent CA-2562897-A1 (CA)
Title: Agent immunomodulateur, agent anticancereux et aliments sante contenant des derives du monoacetyldiacylglycerol
Inventor: KIM SANG-HEE
IPC: A23L33/00
Filed: 2005-04-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne les utilisations de dérivés de monoacétyl-diacylglycérol extraits de bois de cerf en tant qu'agent immunomodulateur. Cette invention concerne également des fournitures médicales et des aliments diététiques contenant lesdits dérivés en tant qu'ingrédient efficace. Les dérivés de monoacétyl-diacylglycérol possèdent un effet immunomodulateur significatif, par exemple ils renforcent le système immunitaire. Lorsqu'on induit un cancer chez un hamster par injection d'une lignée de cellules cancéreuses, le développement du cancer est retardé par activation des lymphocytes, monocytes et cellules dendritiques qui constituent des facteurs importants pour promouvoir l'immunité, et l'apoptose des cellules cancéreuses est induite par activation de la cytotoxicité des cellules immunitaires envers les cellules cancéreuses. Lorsqu'un choc septique est induit chez une souris, son taux de survie est de 100 % même après un intervalle de 120 heures, dans la mesure où sa fonction immunitaire et l'effet suppresseur de l'apoptose sont régulés. Ainsi, les dérivés de monoacétyl-diacylglycérol selon l'invention peuvent être utilisés de manière efficace en tant qu'agent immunomodulateur, traitement de la sepsie, traitement anticancéreux, et aliment diététique pour moduler le système immunitaire ou prévenir le cancer.<>

Title: Method of facilitating online group play of a lottery game
Inventor: BRUNET ROBERT A H
IPC: G06Q50/34
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: A method of facilitating online group play of a lottery game. Lottery players each having their own personal profile are permitted to join an online lottery group by linking their personal profile with the lottery group profile. The lottery group is administered by one of the group members. Group members are able to purchase lottery tickets online using personal financial information, such as a credit card number, stored in their personal profile and are able to ascribe the purchased lottery tickets to the group.  Group members are able to view the numbers of tickets ascribed to the group and are able to communicate with one another using a message posting means viewable only by group members. Group members are notified electronically in the event that one of the tickets ascribed to the group is a winning ticket. The method facilitates the keeping of electronic records of which group members are playing in any particular draw, reducing the likelihood of a future dispute over attribution of any group winnings.

Patent CA-2600056-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GORYACHEV IGOR V
IPC: B03B13/06
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for on-line sorting of waste matter, at the entrance to a waste processing plant, according to the level of specific chemicals, typically chlorine detected therein. The apparatus comprises a waste matter inlet that provides waste matter to a weighing module, preferably until a preset limit is reached. Then, this control volume of waste is introduced into a pulsed neutron material analyzer that is optimized for the determination of the content of the specific chemical in the control volume. A control means such as a computer then decides whether the level of the chemical in the waste control volume is above or below a preset threshold, and accordingly channels the waste into one or another of two channels. One of these channels accepts waste with low content of the given chemical, for introduction into the waste processing chamber. The other channel stores the waste until, for example, it may be mixed with other waste having a sufficient low content such that the overall amount of the chemical is still below the threshold value.
