Title: Process for producing biogas
Inventor: NISHIO NAOMICHI
IPC: C10L3/06
Filed: 2005-02-15
Abstract: A process for producing a biogas, comprising carrying out hydrogen fermentation of a subject solution containing organic matter with the use of a hydrogen fermentation microbe, in which on the basis of interrelationship between the concentration of given substrate contained in the subject solution and the rate of substrate consumption by the hydrogen fermentation microbe, the maximum allowable concentration of substrate consumable by the hydrogen fermentation microbe is determined in advance and in which in the actual hydrogen fermentation step, the concentration of substrate in the subject solution is maintained at one not higher than the maximum allowable concentration. In this biogas production process, hydrogen fermentation can be performed satisfactorily steadily without any treatment of raw material involving consumption of thermal energy such as heating or warming.
Patent CA-2556450-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SINGH NIKHILESH N
IPC: A61K9/68
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: The present invention provides novel compositions for the delivery of a hypnotic agent across the oral mucosa. In particular, the buffer system in the compositions of the present invention raises the pH of saliva to a pH greater than about 7.8, thereby facilitating the substantially complete conversion of the hypnotic agent from its ionized to its un-ionized form. As a result, the dose of hypnotic agent is rapidly and efficiently absorbed by the oral mucosa with surprisingly low inter-subject variability. Furthermore, delivery of the hypnotic agent across the oral mucosa advantageously bypasses hepatic first pass metabolism of the drug and avoids enzymatic degradation of the drug within the gastrointestinal tract. Methods for using the compositions of the present invention for treating sleep disorders such as insomnia are also provided.
