Patent CA-2595478-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUELLER MORTEN
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2006-01-20
Abstract: A distribution tray for uniform distribution of downwardly flowing vapor and liquid across the cross section of a vessel. The distribution tray has a plurality of holes fitted with downcomers which extends up above the tray. The downcomers have open upper ends and open lower ends and allow for fluid flow from above the tray to below the tray. A liquid conduit is provided for each downcomer with a liquid inlet submerged in the liquid pool on the tray, with a section for upwards flow of liquid and with liquid openings at more elevations in fluid communication with the downcomer. A reduced flow area section and means for improved liquid spread may be used at the outlet of the downcomer. During operation vapor is entering the upper open end of the downcomer. Liquid is collected in a pool on the tray and is flowing through the liquid inlet and into the liquid conduit, upwards through the liquid conduit and through the liquid openings which leads into the downcomer where the liquid is mixed with the downwardly flowing vapor. The two-phase stream is passing the reduced flow area section with increased velocity for improved dispersion of the liquid before the stream is flowing through the means for improved liquid spread. The fluids flow through the lower open end of the downcomer and exit the distributor.

Title: System, methods, and compositions for production of synthetic hydrocarbon compounds
Inventor: SEVERINSKY ALEXANDER J
IPC: C07C1/04
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: A process and system for producing hydrocarbon compounds or fuels that recycle products of hydrocarbon compound combustion - carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, or both, and water. The energy for recycling is electricity derived from preferably not fossil based fuels, like from nuclear fuels or from renewable energy. The process comprises electrolysing water, and then using hydrogen to reduce externally supplied carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, then using so produced carbon monoxide together with any externally supplied carbon monoxide and hydrogen in Fischer-Tropsch reactors, with upstream upgrading to desired specification fuels - for example, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and others. Energy released in some of these processes is used by other processes. Using adiabatic temperature changes and isothermal pressure changes for gas processing and separation, large amounts of required energy are internally recycled using electric and heat distribution lines. Phase conversion of working fluid is used in heat distribution lines for increased energy efficiency. The resulting use of electric energy is less than 1.4 times the amount of the high heating value of combustion of so produced hydrocarbon compounds when carbon dioxide is converted to carbon monoxide in the invention, and less than 0.84 when carbon monoxide is the source.

Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: Random three- and four-amino acid copolymers having lengths of 14-,35- and 50-amino acid residues are provided. Fifty-mers of FEAK were effective inhibitors of MBP 85-99 or proteolipid protein (PLP) 40-60-specific HLA-DR-2-restricted T cell clones. These copolymers efficiently suppressed EAE induced in susceptible SJL/J (H-2?s~) strain of mice with either whole spinal cord homogenate (WSCH) or with the encephalitogenic epitope PLP 139-151. YFAK  50-mer having a molar ratio of about y 0.8:F 0.2 inhibited binding of biotinylated MBP 85-99 epitope to HLA-DR-2 molecules more efficiently than either unlabeled MBP 85-99 or Copaxone$m(3).  YFAK and FAK copolymers efficiently suppressed EAE induced in SJL/J (H-2?s~) mice with the encephalitogenic epitope PLP 139-151. Copolymers YFK, VYAK and tryptophan-containing VWAK were efficacious in alleviating severity and duration of symptoms of EAE  induced by MBP 85-99, in a humanized mouse model expressing genes for both an HLA-DR-2 linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans and for a T cell receptor from an MS  patient.

Title: A packaging with improved reclosable opening
Inventor: PHEE BOON EOW
IPC: B65D51/16
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: A packaging with improved reclosable opening is disclosed having a packaging body. The packaging body has an upper front main packaging sheet; a lower front main packaging sheet and a back main packaging sheet which are sealed together to form an edge-to-edge sealing. A reclosable opening is provided for inserting objects into the packaging. A diverting is means predisposed in such a manner and has a dimension sufficient to cover the reclosable opening to direct airflow away from the reclosable opening when there is an increase in internal air pressure. A weakened sealing is formed at a part of the edge-to-edge sealing wherein the weakened sealing ruptures when the increase in internal air pressure has build up to a critical point. When increased internal air pressure has build up to a critical point, the weakened sealing ruptures to allow air to vent through. The critical point is reached when the internal pressure is greater than external pressure to a sufficient extent to rupture the weakened sealing. The weakened sealing can be created by using a heat sealing temperature which is lower than the sealing temperature used for forming the rest of the edge-to-edge sealing, having a designated sealing area smaller than the sealing area of the rest of the edge-to-edge sealing, forming a notch on part of the edge-to-edge sealing, or disposing a film between the front and back main packaging sheets on part of the edge-to-edge sealing, wherein the film is made of a second material.
