Abstract: A dispensing valve cap mountable to a bottle is provided with a first valve part having a tubular portion having an air inlet, the first valve part further including a fluid outlet spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the tubular portion to form a constant head valve for dispensing fluid from the bottle. A second valve part of the valve movably mounted to the first valve part includes a tubular portion for simultaneously closing both the air inlet and the fluid outlet of the first valve part when fluid dispensing is not desired. The second valve part further includes an air inlet alignable with the air inlet of the tubular portion when fluid dispensing is desired. The dispensing valve cap controls fluid flow from the bottle. The bottle with the valve cap is useable with a dispenser assembly for mixing a concentrated fluid from the bottle with a dilutant. A tamper resistant lock prevents undesired rotation of the second valve part relative to the first valve part. The tamper resistant lock is deactivated upon insertion of the valve cap into the dispenser assembly.

Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: The invention relates to improved RNAi constructs and uses thereof. The construct has a double stranded region of 19-49 nucleotides, preferably 25, 26, or 27 nucleotides, and preferably blunt-ended. The construct has selective minimal modifications to confer an optimal balance of biological activity, toxicity, stability, and target gene specificity. For example, the sense strand may be modified (e.g., one or both ends of the sense strand is/are modified by four 2'-O-methyl groups), such that the construct is not cleaved by Dicer or other RNAse III, and the entire length of the antisense strand is loaded into RISC. In addition, the antisense strand may also be modified by 2'-O-methyl group at the 2nd 5'-end nucleotide to greatly reduce off-target silencing. The constructs of the invention largely avoids the interferon response and sequence- independent apoptosis in mammalian cells, exhibits better serum stability, and enhanced target specificity.

Abstract: This invention is a technology in the sludge treatment field specializing in sludge dewatering equipment and installations. Sludge is produced as a waste product during wastewater treatment processes. The resulting sludge is high in organic content, and highly decomposable emitting foul odour. The sludge has low density and high moisture content. It is also a hydrophilic matter with a colloidal structure that poses challenges for dewatering. As sludge contains high nitrogen and phosphorous, if released into water body, it promotes eutrophication, resulting in low dissolved oxygen and deterioration of water quality. Sludge contains pathogen, parasites and other harmful substances which are transferrable to human within the biosphere causing health problems. This new technology provides effective treatment of sludge waste at relatively low energy consumption.
