Patent CA-2430261-A1 (CA)
Title: Water faucet with automatic temperature adjustment according to the user's request
Inventor: BAR-HON BATYA
IPC: G05D23/13
Filed: 2003-06-02
Abstract: Water faucets that allow the user to manually mix hot and cold water until the desired temperature is felt have existed for a very long time.  However, it typically can take up to a few minutes of various manual adjustments to get the desired temperature. Since the early 80's there existed also the possibility of doing the mixing automatically until a certain preselected temperature is reached, for example by an electric faucet with a temperature sensor. However, these patents did not solve the problem of the waiting time until the cold water in the hot water pipe gets out, and they did not solve the problem of reaching the desired heat if the hot water source is not hot enough and/or reaching the desired coldness of the cold water source is not cold enough. Clearly a more sophisticated system is needed. The present invention discloses an improved automated system that solves the above problems and creates an optimized combination, preferably in combination with at least one auxiliary temporary containment buffer and/or with an instant on-the-fly heater and/or a chilled water source.

Title: Gene disrupted yeast
Inventor: OTA AKINORI
IPC: C12N1/19
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: To construct a system for producing an industrially useful substance through  gene recombination by utilizing characteristics of a yeast, it is intended t o provide a yeast in which a specific gene alone has been disrupted and to whi ch auxotrophy is imparted. A yeast strain in which ADE1 gene has been disrupted  is constructed by homologous recombination with a chromosomal DNA by using a n ADE1 gene fragment encoding phosphoribosylaminoimidazole succinocarboxamide synthase (EC6.3.2.6) of Candida maltosa. Then, this disrupted strain is transformed by a gene expression cassette containing a biodegradable polyester synthase gene and the obtained transformant is cultured to thereby  produce biodegradable polyester.

Title: A method for the removal of mercury from a gas stream
Inventor: BIERMANN JOSEPH JAN PETER
IPC: B01D53/64
Filed: 2002-01-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the removal of mercury from a gas stream. The method is characterized in that at a temperature above 170 ~C  the gas stream is contacted with a sorbent that as the active component is comprised of a mixture of substantially silica-alumina compounds and/or calcium compounds. According to a preference, the sorbent is kaolin, that may or may not be in the dehydrated form of meta-kaolin and is optionally obtained by thermal conversion of a material chosen from paper waste or residue from the paper industry. By this method it is possible to remove mercury at temperatures higher than room temperature. The invention also relates to a method for the removal of mercury from a gas stream, wherein the gas stream is contacted with a sorbent at a temperature above 50 ~C, which sorbent comprises as active substance a mixture of substantially silica-alumina compounds and/or calcium compounds, as well as with an oxidator. The invention also relates to a mercury-comprising sorbent obtained by this method and products manufactured therewith.
