IPC: A47B46/00
Filed: 2006-02-23
Abstract: A temporary storage facility 10 has a substantially vertical panel member 12 which is pivotally connected by mounting members 20 and 22 to an upright surface 14, which may be a wall or a door. In a first position, fig 2, the storage unit is adjacent the upright surface and is located above a floor level 24. The mounting members may be located within the storage unit. In this position due to the limited depth of the unit no storage is possible. In a second position, figure 3, the panel member hinges forward from the surface 14 swinging out and down so that a lower surface 11 of the unit contacts the floor 24. The panel is thus spaced from the surface 14 and items may be stored within this space. In an alternative embodiment the pivoting mounting means may be replaced with a telescopic mount, powered movement possibly hydraulic action may be provided. The panel member may have a mirror or decorative finish. The upper mounting member 20 may act as a shelf; the lower mounting member may act as a hanging rail for garment / clothes hangers.

Title: Detection of corrosion-inducing prokaryotes using the dissimilatory sulfate reductase gene
Inventor: MADRID VANESSA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: A simple method for the collection of field samples for nucleic acid extraction and subsequential detection of microorganisms from various media such as aqueous samples, sediments and biofilms (sessile bacteria). This method is a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique for detection of SRP in various media (i.e., aqueous samples, sediments, biofilms). The principle of this technique is based on the fact that all prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) able to carry out sulfate reduction possess a gene that encodes dissimilatory sulfite reductase (DSR), the key enzyme in the sulfate reduction pathway. Microbial induced corrosion is due to bacterial growth and thus, tests for the detection of bacterial growth in fluids involved in oil processing are routinely performed. Thus far, the widely accepted methods for detection of bacterial growth of microorganisms involved in corrosion are cultivation dependent and, therefore, these methods underestimate the number of microorganisms present in a sample and require long incubation times.
