IPC: C02F3/20
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a bioreactor (1) for the purification of waters, said reactor comprising a cross-sectionally essentially circular or elliptical tank section (2) provided with inlet means (5) for water to be purified and outlet means (6) for purified water. The tank holds thereinside carrier material (3) on which a biofilm may develop. The tank is further provided with means (4) for supplying a fluid which contains a reaction gas required by the purification process, such that the water to be purified develops gas bubbles containing a reaction gas. The tank section is adapted to be essentially full of water during the purification process. The fluid supply means (4) are disposed on the tank wall and the reactor comprises control means for operating the fluid supply means in such a way that a spinning motion of the carrier, the water, and at least some of said reaction-gas bearing bubbles is effected thereby around a rotation centerline passing essentially through the tank 's cross-sectional center. The control means are adapted to optionally effect a deactivation of the fluid supply means at desired times and/or a replacement of the fluid with an oxygen-free fluid for providing an anaerobic process. The invention relates also to a method for the biological purification of waters in a bioreactor.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and electronic device for adjusting a conversion parameter (C SS i) associated with an individual user of a multi-user air link in response to, at least in part, a variation in the transmission quality of the air link. A  bandwidth transmission rate (NIR i) is determined for the individual user of the multi-user air link, such that the bandwidth transmission rate (NIR i) is dependant upon the conversion parameter (C SS i ) associated with the individual user and a bandwidth distribution parameter (.rho. i) associated with the individual user. The bandwidth transmission rate (NIR i) is compared with a target bandwidth requirement for the individual user of the multi-user air link. The bandwidth distribution parameter (.rho. i) associated with the individual user is adjusted to set the bandwidth transmission rate (NIR i) essentially equal to the target bandwidth requirement.

Abstract: Methods for screening cells obtained from a subject for aberrant kinase activity are disclosed. The methods include placing cells isolated from the subject in contact with a set of siRNAs, wherein each individual siRNA is at an addressable location on the array and specifically inhibits expression of a tyrosine kinase. The siRNA is introduced into the blood cells or bone marrow cells by electroporation. After introduction of the siRNA, the cells are then assayed for proliferation and/or viability as compared to a control. A decreased proliferation and/or viability of the cells as compared to a control identifies a siRNA that inhibits the proliferation and/or viability of the cells, thus identifying the tyrosine kinase having aberrant tyrosine kinase activity in the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. In particular the present invention relates to highly specific immunotoxins useful in treating diseases related to CMV infection. CMV encodes chemokine receptors that undergo constitutive internalization. Thus CMV infected cells can be targeted specifically with immunotoxins with high affinity to CMV encoded constitutively internalizing receptors. This will ensure efficient uptake of the immunotoxin by the CMV infected cell, and thereby ensure the death of the infected cell with a minimum of unwanted toxicity and side effects. Furthermore, the invention relates to a way of inhibiting CMV replication and/or growth by using immunotoxins by targeting constitutively internalizing CMV encoded receptors.
