Abstract: A chimeric Shiga toxoid according to the invention contains an enzymatically- inactivated StxA subunit and a native StxB subunit. This hybrid Shiga toxoid induces the production of broadly cross-reactive species of antibodies against Shiga toxin following immunization. The StxA subunit is modified so that it is enzymatically inactive. The invention thus encompasses the Shiga toxoid or fragments thereof and the nucleic acid sequence of the Shiga toxoid or fragments thereof. The invention further encompasses the production of a Shiga toxoid, the production of antibodies using the Shiga toxoid and methods of productions, and an immunogenic composition containing the Shiga toxoid.
Patent CA-2643069-A1 (CA)
Title: Production of secondary aggregates
Inventor: CAREY PAULA JILLIAN
IPC: C04B18/02
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: Secondary aggregates are prepared from inert waste fines, from, for example, quarrying and combustion processes, using a combination of accelerated carbonation and tumbling, such that aggregate particles composed of successive layers of solid carbonate-based reaction products form a hard aggregate suitable for use in concrete. The process may carried out by loading the starting materials, and if necessary, water into a cylindrical drum that is rotatable about its horizontal axis, and the interior is charged with a carbon dioxide atmosphere, or mounted within a larger vessel that holds a carbon dioxide atmosphere. Aggregates are formed as coatings on core particles as tumbling proceeds, and the coatings are hardened by in situ formation of carbonates by reaction with the carbon dioxide.

The bitline voltages can be sense d, thereby allowing for testing of the column decoding and sense amplifier circuits. Th e row test circuitry charges a test bitline to a voltage level similar to that provided by a programmed OTP memory cell during a read operation, in response to activation of a wordline of the OTP memory array. This test bitline voltage can be sensed, thereby allowing for testing of the row decoding and driver circuits.

Abstract: The expression of a steroid receptor from circulating carcinoma cells in a blood sample is detected by isolating the carcinoma cells from the blood sample, making an extract from the isolated carcinoma cells and then performing on the extract a sensitive immunoassay capable of detecting the carcinoma cell-associated steroid receptor. A positive result indicates the presence of the steroid receptor in the carcinoma cells. This method can be used to identify cancer patients who are likely to benefit from treatment with an endocrine therapeutic agent.

Title: Method of fermenting wort
Inventor: BANKS DOUGLAS JOHN
IPC: C12C11/07
Filed: 2007-05-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous method of fermenting wort, said method comprising: - fermenting wort with a biologically active yeast to produce an alcohol containing fermented liquid; - introducing the fermented liquid containing at least 10 g/l of biologically active yeast into a maturation vessel; - separately removing yeast containing sediment and supernatant liquid from the vessel; and - optionally recirculating at least a part of the yeast containing sediment to the wort fermentation; wherein the residence time of the fermented liquid in the maturation vessel exceeds 6 hours. The present method offers the advantage that it combines maturation and yeast separation into one processing step, whereas conventional continuous processes require at least two separate processing steps, one for yeast separation and one for maturation. Secondly, the present method is very robust as the relatively high residence time that is needed for maturation ensures that effective sedimentation is achieved under virtually all conditions.

Abstract: A shoulder ring, for installation in a threaded pipe coupling between the installed pin ends of two pipes being connected by the coupling, has opposing end faces and a central opening, and may lobate or circular in shape. The shoulder ring provides enhanced axial retention within the coupling by incorporating a thread element which engages the internal threads of the coupling to prevent or deter displacement of the ring from the coupling. Alternatively, enhanced axial retention may be provided by means of an interference or interlocking fit that is plastically induced during the ring installation process. The shoulder ring may be of lobate or circular configuration, with the axial retention of lobate embodiments being further enhanced by forces acting radially outward against the coupling due to elastic deformation of the ring during installation. Also disclosed are tools for installing the shoulder rings in a threaded coupling.
