Patent CA-2820527-A1 (CA)
Title: Concentrated photovoltaic and thermal solar energy collector
Inventor: CORREIA DAVID
IPC: H02N6/00
Filed: 2010-12-08
Abstract: This invention relates to a solar energy collector that converts solar radiation into both electrical and thermal energy. More specifically this invention relates to a concentrating solar energy collector with an integrated construction that minimizes cost, bulk, and weight, and maximizes overall efficiency. Typical non-concentrating solar collectors use photovoltaic cells over the entirety of their surface. These solar cells are the most expensive part of the collector. This invention discloses using a reflector to concentrate the incident radiation on photovoltaic cells with one-twentieth the area of the reflector, and transferring the co-generated thermal energy into a working fluid pumped through the cell support structure.

Abstract: Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to improved recombinant immunotoxins comprising anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and a Pseudomonas Exotoxin moiety which has been modified to reduce its immunogenicity and protease sensitivity and providing a better cytotoxicity for cells which expresss mesothelin. The RITs are well-suited for the treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.
