Title: A method and a device for the separation of sulphur dioxide from a gas
Inventor: MARIPUU MATI
IPC: F23J15/04
Filed: 2002-07-04
Granted: 2007-06-19
Abstract: A device (1) for separating sulphur dioxide from a gas has an inlet (2) for the gas (4) and an outlet (42) for gas (40), from which sulphur dioxide has been separated. An apertured plate (20) is arranged between the inlet (2) and the outlet (42) and allows the gas (4) to pass from below. On its upper side (22), the apertured plate supports a flowing layer (24) of absorption liquid.  An inlet duct (12) connects a container (6) for absorption liquid to the upper side (22) of the apertured plate (20). A means (10) conveys the absorption liquid (8) from the container (6), through the inlet duct (12), to the upper side (22) of the apertured plate (20) and along the apertured plate (20). The device also has an outlet box (30) for collecting the absorption liquid (8) flowing over the apertured plate (20) and at least one distribution means (34), which is arranged to contact the gas (4) which is supplied to the device (1) through the inlet (2) with the liquid (8) flowing from the outlet box (30) to the container (6) before the gas (4) passes through the apertured plate (20).

Title: The use of epidermal growth factor as a gastrointestinal therapeutic agent
Inventor: BURET ANDRE GERALD
IPC: A61P3/04
Filed: 1996-05-09
Granted: 2010-08-03
Abstract: New utilities for epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a gastrointestinal therapeutic agent are described. In particular, EGF is useful in preventing gastrointestinal colonization by pathogens and in promoting weight gain. As such EGF can be used to treat intestinal infections and increase animal production for example in the agriculture or aquaculture industry. EGF is also useful in increasing the intestinal absorption of immunoglobulins. Inhibition of the epidermal growth factor signaling cascade may be used to prevent uptake of toxic or adverse compounds or to promote weight loss. Therefore, the use of an agent that inhibits the activity of epidermal growth factor to decrease the absorption of substance or decrease weight gain is also described.

Abstract: A refrigeration system for freezing fluid in a tray during a first operating mode and defrosting the ice during a second operating mode to facilitate the removal of the ice from the tray. In the first operating mode, refrigerant circulates through a circuit in a first direction and, in the second mode, the flow of refrigerant is reversed in a portion of the circuit. In the first operating mode, cool refrigerant exits an expansion device in the circuit and enters into the evaporator to freeze a fluid in the tray. In the second operating mode, a valve is operated to permit warm refrigerant exiting the compressor to enter into the evaporator to melt a portion of the ice reversing the flow of refrigerant therein. A second valve permits the reverse flow of refrigerant through the evaporator to return to the compressor inlet instead of passing through the expansion device and condenser.
