Patent CA-2699665-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUEHLMANN ANDREAS
IPC: G01C15/00
Filed: 2008-08-23
Abstract: Chronologically correlated position pairs are generated in a position determination method using a unit, particularly a working machine (4), that changes its own position, having a GNSS receiver (2) and an optically measurable reference point (A) disposed in a spatially stationary manner, particularly an all-around prism (3), and having a geodetic device with a distance- and angle-measuring functionality, particularly a tacheometer (1). To this end, relative positions of the reference point (A) are determined in an interior reference system by optically measuring distance and at least one angle of the geodetic device to the reference point (A) and GNSS positions of the GNSS receiver in an exterior reference system. Equal times, or relative and GNSS positions allocated to a time frame are associated with each other, particularly in pairs, thus forming position pairs. In addition, the position pairs perform a derivation from a balanced relationship between the exterior and interior reference system, particularly from balanced transformation parameters, and determine the position of the unit, of the geodetic device, and/or of the measurable new point from said balanced relationship.

Abstract: A nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) participates in a phosphorylation reaction, wherein a phosphate group is transferred from the NTP to a substrate by a kinase. Provision in a kinase reaction of a NTP  whose gamma phosphate is conjugated to an electroactive label results in the transfer of the gamma phosphate-electroactive label conjugate from the NTP to the substrate. The electroactive label is an organic moiety such as a quinone or a mtrohetercycle, or is a metallocene such as a ferrocene or a cobaltocene.  Upon transfer of the gamma phosphate-electroactive label conjugate to an electrode-bound substrate by a kinase, the phosphorylation event is detected electrochemically by cyclic voltammetry. Phosphorylation can also be detected by mass spectrometry of a substrate carrying the electroactive label-conjugated gamma phosphate. NTP comprising the gamma phosphate-electroactive label conjugate is used in methods of detecting the presence of a kinase in a sample, screening candidate compounds that modulate kinase activity, and in methods of diagnosing a disease associated with a kinase.

Title: Apparatus and process for treatment of wastewater and biological nutrient removal in activated sludge systems
Inventor: KAYA ISIN
IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 2010-10-22
Abstract: An apparatus (100) and process (400) for the treatment of wastewater and biological nutrient removal in activated sludge systems. The process uses substantially vertically downwardly presented inlet jets for delivering the incoming wastewater and recycled activated sludge into the body of liquid in a reactor, in a vertically downward direction and at a location just below the surface of the body of liquid. An effective circulating flow pattern of liquid is thereby established, along with optional concomitant entraining, dispersion or dissolving a fluid throughout the volume of the liquid body, facilitating a universal apparatus for mixing of anaerobic, anoxic, aerobic and oxic reactors or accommodating alternating said process conditions in one reactor. When an oxygen containing gas is entrained for aerobic fermentation, optimum gas bubble size is generated for efficient reaction with the digestion bacteria throughout the volume of the liquid body. Efficient mixing and maximum utilization of the bacteria suspended in the body of liquid is thereby approached, whether the digestion is conducted aerobically, anaerobically or anoxically.
