Title: Parking stop made from recycled tires
Inventor: BOVE RICK L
IPC: E01F13/02
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: A process for manufacturing structures from worn out tires and a parking stop made by that process. Sidewalls are cut from the tire leaving a circular strip, which is cut transversely to produce an elongated approximately rectangular strip.  Spaced slits are cut into the long edges of the strips to form slats suitable for use in manufacturing structures. Two slats are bonded together in a face-to-face arrangement to form a unitary pair of bonded slats. Additional pairs of slats are then bonded to the first pair of slats. All slats are bonded with similar sides in contact; that is, tread side to tread side or inside to inside. The resulting beam can have adjacent corners removed to provide a parking stop configuration. Preferably, the slats are bonded with an elastomer or mechanical fasteners such as ring nails or staples. A thick elastomer, having a thickness of at least about 1/8 inch may be coated over the beam.  Beams may be combined to form guard rails, walls, panels, etc.

Title: Method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates in recombinant organisms
Inventor: VEZINA LOUIS-P
IPC: C12N9/10
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: The present biotechnological approach for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) uses microbial systems. The high production costs make them substantially more expensive than synthetic plastics. Engineering a novel pathway in eucaryotic cell systems is a beneficial alternative to the production of PHAs in bacteria. This pathway will initially produce free (C8) fatty acids from the fatty acid synthetic pathway through the action of thioesterase, that will then add a CoA moiety to the free fatty acid through the action of an acyl-CoA synthetase, that will produce 3-ketoacyl-CoAs from the acyl-CoA through the action of a thiolase, that will produce R-(-)-OH-acyl-CoAs from the 3-keto acid CoAs through the action of a dehydrogenase isoform from yeasts. These R-(-)-3-OH-acyl-CoAs will finally be used as substrate for the PHA synthase reaction.
