Patent CA-2427234-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOETZ DOUGLAS P
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un égaliseur optique d'une longueur d'onde spécifique destiné à atténuer de manière sélective des signaux de longueurs d'ondes discrètes contenus dans un signal multiplexé en division de longueur d'onde sans affecter les signaux adjacents. L'égaliseur de longueurs d'ondes comprend un démultiplexeur conçu de manière à séparer un signal multiplexé en division de longueur d'onde en plusieurs signaux de longueurs d'ondes discrètes et de diriger chacun des signaux de longueurs d'ondes discrètes vers plusieurs premiers chemins optiques. Un dispositif micromécanique comprenant au moins un micro-miroir est couplé optiquement à chacun des premiers chemins optiques. Plusieurs seconds chemins optiques sont positionnés de sorte à recevoir les signaux de longueurs d'ondes discrètes réfléchis par les micro-miroirs respectifs. Au moins un actionneur est couplé mécaniquement à chacun des micro-miroirs. Selon l'invention, les actionneurs sont conçus de manière à déplacer de façon sélective un ou plusieurs micro-miroirs afin de dévier au moins une portion de la longueur d'onde discrète des seconds chemins optiques correspondants. L'orientation du micro-miroir détermine une intensité de signal du signal de longueur d'onde discrète réfléchi sur le second chemin optique correspondant. L'invention concerne enfin un multiplexeur permettant de combiner les signaux de longueurs d'ondes discrètes dans les multiples seconds chemins optiques en un signal multiplexé en division de longueur d'onde reconstitué.

Title: Pressure vessel with composite sleeve for microwave assisted chemistry applications
Inventor: KING EDWARD EARL
IPC: B01J19/12
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A composite sleeve for surrounding a polymeric cylinder of a self sealing vessel assembly for high pressure microwave assisted chemistry includes at least one wound fabric layer in which the winding is selected from the group consisting of filaments and yarns. The vessel assembly includes a polymeric cylinder and a circular polymeric cap for the cylinder, the cylinder being closed at one end and open at the other end to receive the cap. The open end of the cylinder has a lip that is beveled inwardly from the open end, and the circular polymeric cap has a beveled lower edge that engages the beveled lip when the cap is place upon the polymeric cylinder. For high pressure applications, a choke cylinder depends from the beveled lower edge of the cap, and has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the polymeric cylinder so that the choke provides a self sealing mechanism for the cylinder as pressure from a chemical reaction increases in the cylinder. A  supporting frame extends along the cylinder and across the lid and across the closed end of the cylinder, and prevents the lid from being displaced from the cylinder when pressure is generated inside of the vessel.

Filed: 2002-08-26
Abstract: Improved methods for conduction solid acid-catalyzed, near- or supercritical heterogeneous chemical reactions (e.g., alkylation reactions) are provided which give enhanced product yields and permit longer processing runs. The preferred reactions of the invention are carried out in the presence of a solid macroporous catalyst having a surface area of from about 50-400 m2/g a nd a pore size of from about 70-150.ANG.. Product selectivity is enhanced by pressure-tuning of the reaction to promote production and separation of desired reaction products. In continuous processing, the chemical reaction m ay be interrupted before significant catalyst deactivation, followed by increasing reactor pressure and/or reducing reactor temperature to remove th e accumulating coke; when the catalyst is regenerated, the original reaction conditions and reactant introduction may be resumed.

Abstract: A plant gene, Esr2, has been found which when overexpressed in plant cells results in cells which have cytokinin-independent cell growth. This feature allows the encoded protein ESR2 to be used as a selectable marker of transformed cells by growing the transformed cells on cytokinin-free media. It has also been found that overexpression of ESR2 in cells grown in the presence of cytokinins results in a higher regeneration of plants. This feature allows the gene to be used to obtain greater regeneration of plant cells.
