Patent CA-2444608-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MASSMAN BRENT D
IPC: A01N57/20
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant la préparation d'une pâte de glyphosate d'ammonium qui peut subir un traitement en aval. Ce procédé consiste à mélanger dans un réacteur (i) de l'acide de glyphosate en particules, (ii) de l'ammoniac, (iii) un adjuvant et (iv) de l'eau. La réaction de l'acide de glyphosate avec l'ammoniac entraîne la production de chaleur, provoquant une évaporation partielle de l'eau, de sorte qu'une pâte de glyphosate présentant une teneur en eau d'environ 2 à 20 % en poids est formée. L'adjonction de l'adjuvant dans le réacteur (i) augmente la vitesse à laquelle l'acide de glyphosate et l'ammoniac réagissent pour former du glyphosate d'ammonium et/ou (ii) diminue la résistance à l'écoulement de la masse réactionnelle au cours de son déplacement vers la zone de sortie du réacteur. La pâte de glyphosate d'ammonium peut ensuite être soumise à un traitement additionnel permettant la production d'une composition herbicide sous forme de granules.

Abstract: A drinking water composition fortified with minerals and/or vitamins, including iron and zinc, having clarity, color and flavor improvements. The drinking water contains at least 5 ppm of a bioavailable iron compound which is stable to oxidation in the drinking water composition, without the need for excessive amounts of reducing agents or for fruit and/or botanical flavors and colorants to mask the metal taste or after-taste of the iron. Vitamins such as the B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E can optionally be added to the drinking water. A method is disclosed for fortifying the drinking water with certain bioavailable zinc and iron compounds without producing undesirable clarity, color or metal taste or after-taste.

Title: Electrolysis cell for restoring the concentration of metal ions in electroplating processes
Inventor: NEVOSI ULDERICO
IPC: C25B9/19
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: It is described an electrolysis cell wherein the anodic dissolution of metals is carried out, in particular of metals characterised by a relatively high oxidation potential, such as coppere, or metals with high hydrogen overpotential, for example tin, aimed at restoring both the concentration of said metals, and the Ph in galvanic baths used in electroplating processes with insoluble anodes. The cell of the invention comprises an anodic compartment, wherein the metal to be dissolved acts as a consumable anode, and a cathodic compartment, containing a cathode for hydrogen evolution, separated by a cation-exchange membrane. The coupling of the cell of the invention with the electroplating cell allows a strong simplification of the overall process and a sensible reduction in the relevant costs.
Patent CA-2452283-A1 (CA)
Title: Arrangement of an airbag module
Inventor: HEINL MARTIN
IPC: B60R21/20
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: The invention describes a configuration for an airbag module behind the instrument panel of a motor vehicle. For this, a charge channel for the airbag is mounted on the back side of the instrument panel, while the airbag module is held by a support tube of the vehicle body. In this way, the charge channel loosely encompasses the airbag deployment opening of the airbag module. A catch on the charge channel acts in conjunction with a hook component fastened to the support tube in such a way that the bending of the instrument panel in the direction of the passenger compartment is limited when the airbag is deployed. In this manner, an orderly unfolding of the airbag occurs. Additionally, the separate configuration of the charge channel and the airbag module is not susceptible to component tolerances.

Abstract: There has been established a technique of modifying a part of a genome sequence with the use of homologous recombination wherein it has been considered difficult to achieve a high efficiency and a high reproducibility in higher plants. Thus, it becomes possible to obtain an individual undergoing homologous recombination at a high efficiency and a high reproducibility targeting the inherent genome sequence of a higher plant without altering the original locus. Moreover, it is possible to construct a transformant plant having an arbitrarily altered specific gene, thereby contributing to the analysis of gene functions and the clarification of gene expression mechanism associating changes in genomic dynamics.
