Title: Low cost desalination method using renewable energy and recycled materials
Inventor: RICHARDS CORMIER CAROLINE
IPC: C02F1/14
Filed: 2009-06-18
Abstract: The scarcity of fresh water for human consumption and agricultural irrigation is an ongoing problem affecting billions of people. This problem is only getting worse with growing human populations, pollution and global warming. Relying on underground sources of fresh water is not a viable long term solution. I propose to solve the problem of fresh water scarcity with a new kind of desalination method. This desalination method is comprised of recycled materials thereby reducing the amount of pollution in the world. This desalination method uses no other power sources other than solar energy. The usage of recycled materials and renewable energy sources thereby ensures that this desalination method is a low cost way of transporting seawater and converting it into fresh water.

Patent CA-2689972-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEIER LARS
IPC: C12N9/28
Filed: 2008-06-05
Abstract: Dough with a high sucrose content (such as cake dough) tends to inhibit the activity of an anti-staling amylase such as Novamyl®, making it less effective to prevent the staling of dough-based products with high sucrose content such as cakes. A good anti-staling effect in cakes can be achieved by using a carefully selected anti-staling amylase with certain properties. Analysis of a 3D  structure of Novamyl® shows that sucrose may inhibit by binding in the active site. Sucrose docks into the active site of Novamyl®  differently from the substrate or inhibitor in published models 1QHO and 1QHP.  This finding is used to design sucrose-tolerant variants.
