Patent CA-2498354-A1 (CA)
Title: System and methods for electrophoretic separation of proteins on protein binding membranes
Inventor: CHANG FRANK N
IPC: G01N33/557
Filed: 2003-09-09
Abstract: Proteins can be rapidly separated to a high degree of resolution by electrophoresis on polymeric membranes that have high protein binding capacity. The electrophoretic separation is carried out in a low conductivity, water-miscible organic solvent buffer. The low conductivity of the organic solvent buffer minimizes heat generation, and the water-miscible nature of the organic solvent buffer permits the analysis of hydrophobic and low molecular weight proteins as well as hydrophilic proteins. When electrophoresis is conducted under non-denaturing conditions, it allows the detection of enzymatic activities, protein-protein interactions and protein~ligand interactions.

Title: Natural grain leather
Inventor: WINKLER HERMANN
IPC: B05D7/12
Filed: 2003-10-10
Abstract: A leather finishing process in which, in pertinent part, a warm water milling step is added after the base coat is applied to "crust" leather and cured. The warm water contains at least one dye fixation agent including but not limited to about 0.1-2.0% by weight of formic acid. Moreover, the base coat itself is an aqueous base coat containing at least two polymers such as an acrylic salt or a polyurethane salt.

Patent CA-2521127-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN HOUT CRISTOPHER V
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acid based polymerase inhibitors and methods for reducing non-specific polymerase extension and amplification in nucleic acid amplification reactions. The polymerase inhibitors provide a double stranded nucleic acid portion that is recognized by a polymerase enzyme as a template for extension but is incapable of being extended by the polymerase enzyme. The polymerase binds to the polymerase inhibitor which sequesters the enzyme until the temperature achieves a level that denatures the double stranded portion of the inhibitor after which the polymerase is released and can then catalyze nucleic acid extension.

Title: Wind energy conversion unit
Inventor: BREBENEL MARIUS D
IPC: F03D80/00
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: The Wind Energy Conversion Unit (WECU) according to the invention is intended to convert the wind energy into electric power, but at a higher efficiency than actual propeller-like turbines.   Unlike the actual turbines, this WECU is based on the expansion through the turbine from the total air pressure due to stagnation inside the unit to the lower pressure provided by the accelerated air flow over the top of unit, accordingly designed. As a result, the unit is a vertical axis machine, the turbine is horizontal on the top of the unit, no yaw system and no tower are necessary.   The simplicity of construction, lack of environmental impact, longer life, working at any wind speed, higher efficiency, no sensitivity to wind gusts, the lack of tower and yaw system and the higher power density per area of used land would enable such a units to be intensively used as power sources.
