Patent CA-2503131-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DURUZ JEAN-JACQUES
IPC: C25C3/12
Filed: 2003-12-03
Abstract: A metallic aluminium electrowinning anode structure has initially an iron- based alloy outer part with an active anode surface which is essentially metallic and free of any ceramic compounds of metals from the metallic. The anode structure undergoes a conditioning treatment that includes: substantially preventing the essentially metallic active surface free of sai d ceramic compound from reacting with any reactable species, in particular oxygen and fluorine species, until immersion into a molten electrolyte containing oxygen ions; immersing into the molten electrolyte the metallic anode structure with its essentially metallic active surface free of said ceramic compounds; and polarising the immersed metallic anode structure to form on the metallic anode structure a dense and coherent integral iron-base d oxide layer which is electrochemically active for the oxidation of oxygen an d which inhibits diffusion of oxygen towards the metallic anode structure. The metallic anode structure can be covered with a temporary protection medium, e.g. a protective layer, that prevents ceramic-forming reactions at the metallic anode surface and is separable before or upon immersion into the electrolyte.

Title: Waste removal apparatus and method
Inventor: MARKS WILLIAM
IPC: A01K1/01
Filed: 2005-07-21
Abstract: A waste removal vehicle including a loader, an elevator having a chain-driven conveyor mounted on the loader, and a pair of moveable wing arms including a flexible lower portion for engaging the surface of the location floor and forwardly mounted rollers for engaging the curb of an alley or aisle that are positioned on either side of the elevator for directing animal excrement and associated waste from a concentrated feeding location, such as a barn or stable.

Patent CA-2515798-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOLKATCHEV DMITRI
IPC: C07K14/815
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: The tetrapeptide Phe-Asn-Pro-Arg is a structurally-optimized sequence for binding to the active site of thrombin. By conjugating this tetrapeptide or variants thereof to a C-terminal fragment of hirudin, we were able to generate a series of new multivalent inhibitors of thrombin containing only genetically encodable natural amino acids. We found that synergistic binding to both the active site and an exosite of thrombin can be enhanced through substitutions of amino acid residues at the P4, P3 and P3' sites of the active-site directed sequence, Xaa (P4)-Yaa (P3)-Pro (P2)-Arg (P1)-Pro(P1')-Gln(P2')-Zaa(P3').  Complementary to rational design, a phage library was constructed to explore further the residue requirements at the P4, P3 and P3' sites for multivalent and optimized bridge-binding. Panning of the phage library has led to thrombin-inhibitory peptides possessing strong anti-clotting activities in the low nanomolar range and yet interfering only partially with the catalytic active site of thrombin. In all, the availability of potent and genetically-encodable polypeptide inhibitors of thrombin opens the door for much wider applications of this clinically-successful class of anticoagulants, e.g. through more cost-effective recombinant peptide production, in areas such as gene therapy as well as to improve clinical efficacy/safety through the incorporation of homing peptides for targeted delivery.

Title: A database management system with efficient version control
Inventor: HALDAR SIBSANKAR
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2004-08-06
Abstract: A two copy versioning scheme is proposed. The scheme provides efficient implementation for a high read load database and eliminates read dependencies.  The versioning scheme provides efficient implementation for transactions executing under ANSI READ COMMITTED isolation, and is extensible to serializable isolation. The two-copy versioning scheme is garbage free meaning that all versions of data records are used during execution and is adapted to index scanning operations. A "deferred delete" scheme allows read transactions to complete data deallocation operations. Statements that require "snapshots"  are efficiently supported.
