Patent CA-2691817-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PANTTAJA MARY G
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2008-05-08
Abstract: A communication device (12) configured to receive messages containing media over a communication network and to receive locally created messages containing media created using the communication device. The device also includes a time-shifting buffer (30) to store in a time-based format the media contained in both the messages received over the communication network and the locally created messages. The time-shifting buffer enables on the communication device to either (i) render the media received over the network in a near real-time mode; or (ii) render both the media received over the network and the locally created media in a time-shifted mode by retrieving the stored media from the time-shifting buffer. The communication device also includes a message management system (20), which enables the communication device to transition the rendering of the media between the time-shifted mode and the near real-time mode without interrupting the ongoing storage of media of received messages into the time-shifting buffer.

Inventor: PTACEK MILAN
IPC: C10L5/44
Filed: 2008-08-14
Abstract: The invention relates to fuel formed by a fuel mixture, whose one component is formed by partially dewatered stillage from the bioethanol production and the other one are milled materials, where the ratio of total of sodium weight and potassium weight in the ashes to the weight of the other non-combustible components of a value less than 1 : 5.85 and/or it set up to achieve the resulting ash melting temperature of the mixture higher than 760 0C. It also relates to the method of obtaining thermal energy from this mixture, in which first the critical combustion temperature causing slagging in the furnace and/or on the heat transfer surfaces and/or of the fluidised bed with melted ashes is ascertained and then the ratio of stillage from the production of bioethanol and to the biomass with low melting temperature of ashes to milled materials is set up in a ratio giving a higher ash-melting temperature of the resulting mixture than the ascertained critical temperature and then the obtained partially dewatered mixture is combusted in the combustion apparatus. It also relates to the method of obtaining thermal energy from waste in the preparation of the fuel mixture, e.g. from centrate, and to the apparatuses for the implementation thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a corrosion-protected self-drilling anchor and an anchor subunit and to a method for the production thereof. A self-drilling anchor according to the invention comprises a number of anchor subunits (A, B), each having a hollow rod element (3), which are connected among each other by configuring an axial bell butt joint into a connected pull and pressure member. The first subunit (A) at the end thereof has a core bit (14), and the subunit (B) at the end thereof is non-rotatably connected to a drilling and injecting device. According to the invention, it is provided that each hollow rod element (3) with the exception of the end sections (3, 3") thereof is surrounded by a cladding pipe (6), and the annular gap between the cladding pipe (6) and hollow rod element (3) is pressed together with a first corrosion protection compound (10). In the region of the bell butt joint, a spigot pipe (12) is tightly connected to the cladding pipes (6) of the two hollow rod elements (3) that are part of the bell butt joint. To this end, the hollow space between the spigot pipe (12) and hollow rod elements (3) is filled with a second corrosion protection compound. A method according to the invention provides for the factory-prefabrication of a number of anchor subunits in order to then drill then into the subsurface at the site of the anchor to be produced and connect them to each other by forming bell butt joints, wherein in the region of the bell butt joint a spigot pipe is tightly connected to the ends of two adjoining cladding pipes and the hollow space between the spigot pipe and hollow rod elements is filled with a second corrosion protection compound.  The invention for the first time provides a self-drilling anchor having increased requirements with respect to corrosion protection.

IPC: C40B30/00
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: Described are methods and means for enhancing enzyme activity toward insoluble substrates. This is achieved by means of in vitro compartmentalization in which an insoluble microparticle functions both as the enzyme substrate and as a structure for negative selection. Enhanced enzymes expressed from a microparticle-linked polynucleotide library preferentially degrade the microparticle releasing specific gene variants into solution.  Gene variants encoding less active enzyme variants remain linked to the microparticle and may be removed through centrifugation, thus enriching the polynucleotide library for more active enzyme variants. These methods may be used to enhance cellulase and ligninase activity toward insoluble cellulosic biomass.
