Patent CA-2451597-C (CA)
Inventor: OUELLETTE JOSEPH P
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 2002-07-08
Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: Improved systems, methods, apparatus and compositions for generating, extracting and distributing the renewable heat energy produced by microbial decomposition of organic biomass within a contained and controlled environment. This heat energy is preferably transferred and distributed, preferably by the use of heat pipes, to the interior of a greenhouse or other structure to be heated, either directly or via heat exchange apparatus such as hot water heating systems. In one embodiment heat transfer and distribution mechanism customized to the application requirements of a greenhouse heating batch-type process is disclosed, along with a recipe for a readily available biomass material composition that will slowly decompose while it generates a substantial quantity of usable heat energy to be consumed in the elevation of temperature in a separated greenhouse basement confinement area. Additional continuous and batch process embodiments of biomass heating systems are also disclosed that extract heat energy from decomposing biomass for heating uses.  In some embodiments gaseous products generated in a biological decomposition process, primarily CO2, are utilized to enhance plant growth in the greenhouse environment.

Title: Stackable buoy with rope nesting grooves
Inventor: GOTELL BLAIR THOMAS
IPC: A01K75/04
Filed: 2004-04-23
Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: The buoy has small and large cylindrical sections contiguous with each other and having a common central axis. A hole extends along the common central axis, for receiving a mooring rope. The small section has dimensions to fitly engage into a cavity in the bottom of the large section, such that two buoys are stackable onto each other. In another aspect, the small section has grooves on its outside surface and the large section has notches in its rim. The grooves and the notches are advantageous for lodging a mooring rope and consequently for allowing the stacking of buoys that have their mooring ropes still attached to them.

Title: Compositions en depot injectables et utilisations
Inventor: CHEN GUOHUA
IPC: A61K47/08
Filed: 2002-11-14
Granted: 2014-02-11
Abstract: Cette invention concerne des composition en dépôt injectables comprenant un polymère bio-érodable et biocompatible, un alcool aromatique dont la miscibilité dans l'eau est inférieure ou égale à 7 % en poids à 25 ·C, en dose efficace suffisante pour plastifier le polymère et former un gel avec ledit polymère, et un agent bénéfique.
