Patent CA-2300209-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEHMANN HENRY
IPC: B01D53/85
Filed: 2000-03-08
Abstract: An apparatus to transfer gas to or from a liquid has a flexible and oxygen permeable but liquid water impermeable membrane, a flexible and gas permeable spacer, an inlet conduit, an outlet conduit and a non-rigid restraint system.  The membrane encloses an inner space containing the spacer and the spacer and the membrane together form a planar element. The inlet conduit and outlet conduit allow gases to flow into and out of the planar element. The non rigid restraint system permits the planar element to be fixedly but non-rigidly restrained in a selected position in a selected reactor. A module is made by attaching a plurality of the apparatus to a manifold located above a liquid surface of a reactor, the planar elements being located below the liquid surface. When used for treating wastewater, an aerobic biofilm is cultured adjacent the planar elements, an anoxic biofilm is cultivated adjacent the aerobic biofilm and the wastewater is maintained in an anaerobic state. Other uses include water degassing, humidification, pervaporation and air cleaning.

Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: To search human Cds1 (hCds1) being homologous with yeast cell cycle regulatory factors scCds1 and spCds1, GenBank EST data base is retrieved based on fission yeast spCds1 sequence and baker's yeast scCds1 sequence, thereby finding a homologous molecule (dCds1) of Drosophila which is significantly homologous with spCds1 and sdCds1. Then the full-length gene thereof is isolated. It is confirmed that this gene is expressed strongly in testis and, moreover, widely expressed in other tissues. A protein encoded by the thus isolated gene is prepared as a recombinant protein and its kinase activity is detected in vitro. As a result, it is found out that this protein efficiently phosphorylates cdc25 and histone H1.

Title: Crystallization apparatus and crystallization method
Inventor: OOSHIMA HIROSHI
IPC: C13B30/02
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: The invention provides a crystallization apparatus that includes an agitation tank, a liquid circulation means for circulating a liquid or a slurry along a wall of the agitation tank, and one or more temperature difference creation means capable of creating a temperature difference at the wall of the agitation tank, wherein the temperature difference creation means is installed to the agitation tank. The temperature difference creation means is, for example, arranged at a region where liquid or slurry spouted by rotating the liquid spouting device contacts the wall of the agitation tank or a region below that region, and which increases or decreases the temperature of the spouted liquid or slurry compared to the temperature of surrounding liquid or slurry. Since the apparatus with this configuration has a large vaporization area and a large heat transfer area, the induction period for crystal generation can be shortened, and crystals with narrow size distribution and large size can be obtained. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a specified crystal form, that is, it is possible to control crystal polymorphism.
