Title: Small scale high throughput biomass gasification system and method
Inventor: PAISLEY MARK A
IPC: C10J3/48
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: A process and method is provided for operating a small-scale high-throughput gasifier. As is known in the art, the exothermic combustion reactions can be separated from the endothermic gasification reactions. The exothermic combustion reactions can take place in or near the combustor (118) while the endothermic gasification reactions take place in the gasifier (102). Heat from the exothermic zone is transferred to the endothermic reaction zone by circulation of an inert particulate solid such as sand. In order to increase efficiency by reducing heat loss from the gasifier, the gasifier (102) is concentrically-disposed within the endothermic reaction zone of the combustor (118).

Patent CA-2435251-A1 (CA)
Title: First stage clutch
Inventor: MILBOURNE RODNEY
IPC: B25B21/00
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: A clutch arrangement for use in a power tool having a multi-speed transmissi on assembly. The clutch arrangement includes a clutch member and a follower member. The clutch member is coupled to a member of the transmission assembl y that is proximate the torsional input of the transmission assembly and which must be in a non-rotating position to permit the transmission assembly to perform a torque multiplication operation. The follower member is biased int o engagement with the clutch member to inhibit relative rotation therebetween. As the clutch member and the transmission member are coupled to one another, the transmission assembly is able to perform a torque multiplication operation. When, however, the torsion that is exerted onto the clutch member is sufficient to overcome the fractional engagement between the follower and clutch members, the clutch member, and the transmission member, rotate, thereby inhibiting the capability of the transmission to continue to perform the torque multiplication operation.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés, des compositions et des kits permettant de déterminer un ou plusieurs polypeptides cibles dans un échantillon, ces polypeptides cibles ayant été soumis à une modification post-translationnelle. L'invention porte sur un mélange comprenant l'échantillon et un premier réactif comprenant une fraction induisant un clivage, et un premier agent de liaison d'un site de liaison sur un polypeptide cible est soumis à des conditions dans lesquelles la liaison des fractions respectives se réalise. Le site de liaison est le résultat de l'activité de la modification post-translationnelle impliquant le polypeptide cible. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour déterminer le polypeptide cible lui-même. Selon une autre réalisation, la présence et/ou la quantité du polypeptide cible est relative à la présence et/ou la quantité et/ou l'activité d'un agent tel qu'une enzyme impliquée dans la modification post-translationnelle du polypeptide cible. L'interaction entre le premier agent de liaison et le site de liaison amène la fraction induisant le clivage tout à proximité d'une fraction de clivage qui est associée au polypeptide et qui est susceptible de se cliver uniquement lorsqu'elle est à proximité de la fraction induisant le clivage. De cette façon, une étiquette électrophorétique pour chaque polypeptide peut être libérée. Les étiquettes électrophorétiques libérées sont séparées et la présence et/ou la quantité des polypeptides cibles sont déterminées en fonction des étiquettes électrophorétiques correspondantes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un catalyseur qui purge les gaz d'échappement de moteurs diesels (HC, CO et SOF) et réduit les émissions de particules, ainsi qu'une méthode de production s'y rapportant. Le catalyseur pour purifier un gaz d'échappement de moteur diesel comporte, sur une structure tridimensionnelle réfractaire, un composant catalyseur constitué de silice-alumine supportant au moins un métal noble sélectionné à partir du groupe composé de platine, de palladium, de rhodium et zéolite. Ce catalyseur est produit par l'ajout d'un composant de métal noble dans une bouillie de silice-alumine, ce qui induit une absorption chimique, puis par l'ajout de zéolite au mélange résultant. On obtient ainsi une bouillie mélangée de silice-alumine supportant un métal noble et de zéolite. La structure tridimensionnelle réfractaire est ensuite baignée dans la bouillie, ce qui induit le dépôt du composant catalyseur et la calcination subséquente du composite résultant.
