Title: A system for separating an entrained liquid component from a gas stream
Inventor: WEST HUGH M
IPC: B04C3/00
Filed: 2002-06-13
Granted: 2011-01-18
Abstract: A system for separating an entrained immiscible liquid component from a gas stream employing a vessel having a wet gas inlet, a gas outlet and a liquid outlet. At least one vortex tube is supported within the vessel and has a liquid outlet end and a wet gas inlet tangential to its sidewall and arranged so that wet gas rotates within the vortex tube to cause the liquid components to be forced against the interior wall surface by centrifugal action. An orifice plate closes the vortex tube first end and has a concentric gas outlet opening therein. A vortex finder tube is axed to the orifice plate in communication with the gas outlet opening and extends concentrically within the vortex tube, the vortex finder tube providing an annular area between itself and the vortex tube internal wall. A gas deflector positioned within the annular area, the gas deflector having a downwardly spiraled surface that diverts wet gas downwardly away from the wet gas inlet. One embodiment may include at least one free-fall preventer within the vortex tube positioned below the tangential inlet and having a plurality of spaced apart radially arranged flow diverting vanes positioned in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vortex tube and serving to augment the rotation of liquid as it traverses towards the outlet end of the vortex tube.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide examination methods and reagents able to detect efficiently cancer patients and patients at high risk of cancer. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Significant differences in the distribution of GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes, sulfation enzymes of sugar residues, between non-carcinoma tissues and carcinoma tissues or adenoma tissues were discovered. The discovery is evidently applicable to detect carcinomas and adenomas (except colorectal carcinomas and colorectal adenomas) specifically by assaying a certain range of GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residue groups in tissues of patients and in fecal samples.  Examination of carcinomas and adenomas is possible by the use of antibodies reacting specifically with GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residues specifically synthesized by enzymes present in carcinoma and adenoma tissues.

Title: Apparatus and method for providing ions to a mass analyzer
Inventor: WOUTERS ELOY R
IPC: H01J49/10
Filed: 2007-10-19
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for directing ions from an ionization source to a mass analyzer is provided. The method includes producing ions from a sample in an ionization source. Some of the ions are transferred to a first region via a passageway that is in fluid communication with the ionization source. Next, some of the ions are sampled from the first region into a second region via an aperture that is defined thorough a partition element. The aperture is centered about a longitudinal axis that passes through an ion transfer element within the second region. An electric field is established for deflecting some of the ions that pass through the aperture of the partition element. In particular, the electric field is directed transverse to the longitudinal axis such that relatively more ions enter an input end of the ion transfer element compared to when the ions are not deflected.

Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to chemokine-mucin fusions linked to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchors and their use as anti-cancer adjuvants and as agents in tissue regeneration and suppression of vascular damage. GPI-linked chemokines are incorporated in the surface membrane of tumour cells and effect a recruitment of cytotoxic immune cells to the tumour site following injection in vivo. Leukocytes, cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells target the chemokine-GPI-anchored tumour cells and modulate cell-mediated lysis of the tumour cells. The efficiency of GPI-anchoring and modulation of immune cells can be further enhanced by linking the chemokine to a mucin domain followed by the GPI-anchor. The GPI-anchored chemokines, with or without mucin domain, are remarkably useful for the inhibition of tumour growth, tissue regeneration, and suppression of acute vascular damage to allografts.

Title: Catalytic cracking process for production of diesel from seeds of oleaginous plants
Inventor: SILVA MAURO
IPC: C11B3/02
Filed: 2008-06-20
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: The present invention comprises a thermocatalytic cracking process for the production of diesel oil from a charge of vegetable origin made from seeds of oleaginous plants in refineries possessing at least two FCC reactors. At least one of such reactors processes heavy gas oil or residue under conventional conditions whilst at least one of such reactors processes the charge of vegetable origin made from seeds of oleaginous plants under conditions suitable for production of diesel oil. Said process employs the same catalyst utilised in the fluid catalytic cracking process which, simultaneously, processes a conventional charge. The diesel, or biodiesel, oil produced by means of said process is of superior quality having a cetane number exceeding 40 given that the cracking reactions occur at low temperatures and the products obtained are less oxidised and consequently purer than products obtained by means of existing technology.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable device for generating ozone in water, purifying the water and making it drinkable. The device comprises a housing; at least two electrodes, including an anode and a cathode extending from the housing into the water and each having semi-rough or rough surfaces in contact with the water. The device also comprises a power supply operatively connected to the electrodes for generating between them a difference of potential creating a current and the hydrolysis of the water creating ozone that purifies the water. The electrodes may have a plate or a rode and tube configuration with a plurality of holes with rough edges. The roughness of the surfaces and of the edges of the holes leads to a coalescence of tiny hydrogen bubbles into larger hydrogen bubbles. The hydrogen may be also removed by absorption in a conductive material and regenerated for reuse.

Abstract: To reduce the shock at the time of connection (engagement) of a clutch and obtain a smooth vehicle starting feeling even in the case where the throttle opening at the time of vehicle starting is comparatively large. At an actual engine rotational speed corresponding to a half-clutch state of a starting clutch, a target gear ratio control of a continuously variable transmission is performed by determining a target gear ratio from a target engine rotational speed, whereas at an actual engine rotational speed corresponding to an engaged state of the starting clutch, the gear ratio is so controlled that the actual engine rotational speed will converge to the target engine rotational speed. Therefore, when it is intended to start the vehicle with a comparatively large throttle opening, it is possible, in the half-clutch condition, to obviate a rise in the actual engine rotational speed with the gear ratio position sticking to the LOW position, so that a predetermined driving force can be attained when the starting clutch is engaged.
