Title: Energy/infrastructure innovations
Inventor: VOON GERARD
IPC: B09B3/00
Filed: 2008-11-20
Abstract: Possibly by first using Gerard Voon's patented conveyor belt and video cameras and spread out layer of garbage deposited over a large surface space, we can remove the large seriously incombustible materials (eg, rocks and/or clay), using robot blades (controlled by Artificial Intelligence with object recognition) to cut open garbage bags (identified by possibly of tears of large filled robustly with unknown materials, but the bag can be green, black, orange, white - the bag has the characteristics of a thin plastic (possibly still stretchy) membrane that covers the materials (someone's) garbage inside...to sort its contents (GP  0.5%)...removing the metals by identifying objects (object recognition - eg. computer parts, circuit boards)...the Artificial Intelligence judges the size, the dimensions (a thin board), the tensility (hard to bend the circuit board, the parts that protrude (the materials recognized, eg.  shiny (metals recoginized by lustre and weight per size) gold-coloured computer processing chips against a green coloured background). Multiple Robot hands (and even Artificial Intelligence) can be used with remote control to sort through the strewn garbage for easier recognition and access of types of materials. The robot hands can be equipped with any and all tools eg. cutting, tearing, stretching, tight grasp, hosing (with adjustable levels of intensity), pounding (eg. sludge hammer) to break through the case, whatever helps in the separation of pieces that require different pathways for recycling, usually determined by the types of materials and how easy it is to separate (worthwhile) the eg. toxic materials from some value part of a component (eg.  computer chips that whose housing are of slight value but the mercury and/or other toxins within make it not worthwhile to reclaim). After the parts and pieces are (the pieces that aren't tightly stuck together) separated, they can be fed into a size sorter, the size sorter will make it easier to view the and identify/recognize what the pieces from what objects they belong to...  We use mirrors to gain free heat (by combining the effects of the mirrors on both garbage and/or salt water (other liquids can be used by closed circuit recycle system), but at the same time keeping the garbage separate from the salt water, so the salt water converts to steam that turns a turbine and produces clean fresh water...some of the water can be used as steam to remove the volatile organic compounds (eg. plastics). Water logged and combustible materials vapourize to spin the garbage burning turbine...Some leftover garbage that does not combust via mirrors can be burnt via plasma torch (superheated gas), or even Fusion Reaction...

Title: Procedure for the preparation of unilamellar vesicles for cryopreservation and the culture of stem cells and embryos
Inventor: PALASZ ANDRE T
IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 2006-05-30
Abstract: In order to prepare unilamellar vesicles of low density lipids, lipids of plant origin are first predissolved; a suitable quantity of lipids, from 4 to 12 mg/ml is mixed with hot pure water and stirred for some 30 minutes, the suspension obtained is held at 50-60°C for one hour and stirred for 2 minutes every 20 minutes. High molecular weight hyalurone is added to the lipid suspension up to a final concentration of 1 mg/ml and the suspension of lipids and hyalurone is emulsified using ultrasound, pumped through a homogenizer valve and immediately passed through a polycarbonate membrane, obtaining a final suspension with 70% of the particles in suspension having a size from 5 to 15 nM, which means that HA and LDL single layer vesicles can be used for cryoconservation and the culture of various mammal cells, especially stem cells.
