Title: Sulfur resistant noble metal nano-particles encapsulated in a zeolite cage as a catalyst enhancer
Inventor: RING ZBIGNIEW
IPC: B01J29/16
Filed: 2007-08-13
Abstract: A sulfur resistant catalyst is taught having noble metal nano-particles contained in a zeolite cage having a final pore size of between about 2.9 .ANG. and about 3.5 .ANG.. The zeolite cage is either directly synthesized, or the final pore size of the zeolite cage is reduced by post-treatments selected from chemical vapour deposition, chemical liquid deposition, cation exchange and combinations thereof to allow passage of hydrogen molecules into the cage while excluding organic sulfur molecules. Disassociated hydrogen species from reaction with the noble metal spill over through the zeolite pores to induce hydrogenation and to regenerate neighboring catalyst supports. A method is also taught for producing a sulfur resistant catalyst having noble metal nano-particles. The method involves either synthesizing a zeolite cage having a final pore size of between about 2.9 .ANG. and about 3.5 .ANG. or reducing the size of pores in the zeolite cage by a post treatment selected from chemical vapour deposition, chemical liquid deposition, cation exchange and combinations thereof.

Inventor: ZAERR JON BENJAMIN
IPC: B61D3/04
Filed: 2007-10-25
Abstract: An energy-absorbing device for use with a counterbalance mechanism to relatively harmlessly absorb energy potentially released should a component of the counterbalance mechanism fail. A frame is attached to a portion of the counterbalance mechanism and supports an impact receiving member, and a plurality of deformable support members. In the event of a failure in the counterbalance mechanism, a part of the counterbalance mechanism strikes a face of the impact receiving member.  Deformable support members are attached to the opposing face of the impact receiving member and are deformed by the impact and thus absorb the energy that is transferred by the impact. The deformable support members and the impact receiving member are readily replaceable.

Patent CA-2611743-A1 (CA)
Title: Nucleic acid analysis by forming and tracking aliquoted fragments of a target polynucleotide
Inventor: DRMANAC RADOJE
IPC: C07H21/02
Filed: 2006-06-13
Abstract: The invention provides methods and kits for ordering sequence information derived from one or more target polynucleotides. In one aspect, one or more tiers or levels of fragmentation and aliquoting are generated, after which sequence information is obtained from fragments in a final level or tier. Each fragment in such final tier is from a particular aliquot, which, in turn, is from a particular aliquot of a prior tier, and so on. For every fragment of an aliquot in the final tier, the aliquots from which it was derived at every prior tier is known, or can be discerned. Thus, identical sequences from overlapping fragments from different aliquots can be distinguished and grouped as being derived from the same or different fragments from prior tiers. When the fragments in the final tier are sequenced, overlapping sequence regions of fragments in different aliquots are used to register the fragments so that non-overlapping regions are ordered. In one aspect, this process is carried out in a hierarchical fashion until the one or more target polynucleotides are characterized, e.g. by their nucleic acid sequences, or by an ordering of sequence segments, or by an ordering of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or the like.
