Patent CA-2477240-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROMMENS CAIUS M T
IPC: A23L19/12
Filed: 2003-02-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a new plant breeding process. The process improves the agronomic performance of crop plants by using genetic material that is also used in classical breeding. Instead of sexually recombining entire genomes at random, as is done in classical breeding, specific genetic elements are rearranged in vitro and inserted back into individual plant cells. Plants obtained through this new plant breeding process do not contai n foreign nucleic acid but only contain nucleic acid from the plant species selected for transformation or plants that are sexually compatible with the selected plant species. Plants developed through this new plant breeding process are provided. In particular, potato plants displaying improved tuber storage and health characteristics are provided.

Title: Protective cap for a thermocouple in a gasifier
Inventor: GROEN JOHN CORWYN
IPC: G01K1/14
Filed: 2003-01-13
Abstract: The protective cap (80) for a thermocouple (44) in a gasifier (10) is installed at an opening of a thermocouple cavity in a hot-face lining of the reaction chamber of the gasifier. The cap is a generally disc-shaped structu re that, in one embodiment, includes an upper slag deflecting surface over the receding surface to bypass the receding surface. A counterbore is formed in the refractory lining to accommodate the protective cap and to enable the protective cap to be recessed in the refractory lining. Holes can be formed in the cap with an upward incline to minimize the possibility of downwardly moving slag flowing through the holes into the thermocouple cavity (50). The holes can be made small enough to minimize the risk of allowing excessive radiant heat from reaching the gasifier vessel or shell (12). A peripheral edge of the cap has upper and lower portions that slope downwardly to help maintain the cap in its position in the counterbore.

Patent CA-2488572-A1 (CA)
Title: Water conditioning system
Inventor: SHAY DALE A
IPC: C02F9/02
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: A multi-stage water conditioning system is structured for conditioning a flow of influent water passing through the conditioning system by removing one or more cations including sodium, iron, barium, and or ammonia from the influent water, while also possibly adding (as required) calcium and magnesium.    Such a conditioning of the influent water results in a reduction in the sodium adsorption ration (SAR) and electrical conductance (EC) of the influent. Versions of the water conditioning system may include a surge and equalization stage, and at least one conditioning stage, which is typically followed by an output finishing stage. Each included conditioning stage provides for a contacting of the influent water with surfaces of a load of molecular filtering material causing a reduction in sodium and other cations as the influent waters flow through the water conditioning system. The system further provides for the inclusion of a regeneration mechanism that is included for regenerating each load of molecular filtering material of each conditioning stage when the molecular filtering material becomes saturated with cations such as sodium, barium, and iron, which have been removed from influent water being conditioned.

Title: Identification of genes involved in angiogenesis, and development of an angiogenesis diagnostic chip to identify patients with impaired angiogenesis
Inventor: BURNETT MARY SUSAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-12-10
Abstract: The invention is directed to methods for angiotyping individual patients to predict the likelihood of whether a given individual will develop good vs. poor collaterals naturally. Accordingly, this can involve obtaining and providing a list of genes involved in collateral development. In particular, angiotyping individual patients can be used to predict the likelihood of whether a given individual will develop good vs. poor collaterals in respons e to specific angiogenesis therapy. From an array of genes that have been determined through experimental studies as being differentially expressed in tissues in which collaterals are developing in response to arterial occlusio n, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or other epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation patterns, can be identified. SNPs and DNA methylation patter ns are detected using microchips or similar technology assaying for all, or mos t, of the genes determined to play a role in collateral development. In additio n, abnormally low or abnormally high differential expression of any combination of the candidate genes can be detected in such tissue as peripheral blood cells. The presence of a predisposition to develop poor vs. good collaterals is indicated by the presence of SNPs, and/or alterations in DNA methylation patterns, and/or difference in expression levels involving one or more of th e genes.
