Title: Fermentation process using specific oxygen uptake rates as a process control
Inventor: RUSH BRIAN
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: Specific oxygen uptake (OUR) is used as a process control parameter in fermentation processes. OUR is determined during at least the production pha se of fermentation process, and process parameters are adjusted to maintain the OUR within desired ranges. The invention is particularly applicable when the fermentation is conducted using a microorganism having a natural PDC pathway that has been disrupted so that it no longer functions. Microorganisms of th is sort often produce poorly under strictly anaerobic conditions. Microaeration controlled by monitoring OUR allows the performance of the microorganism to be optimized.

Patent CA-2515919-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DALTON PAUL D
IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 2004-02-13
Abstract: A variety of hollow structures with unique morphologies were manufactured with a rotational spinning technique. Phase separation of soluble solutions or emulsions was induced within a filled mold as it was being rotated about one of its axis. The density difference between phases results in sediment at the inner lumen of the mold under centrifugal forces. After or during sedimentation, gelation of the phase-separated particles fixes the hollow structure morphology and the solvent remains in the center of the mold. The solvent is removed from the mold resulting in a coating or tube. By controlling the rotational speed and the formulation chemistry, the tube dimensions and wall morphology can be manipulated. This technique offers a new approach to the manufacture of polymeric tubes. It requires small quantities of starting material, permits multi-layering of tubes, is applicable to diverse polymers and can result in highly diffusive hollow structures while maintaining good mechanical strength.

Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A forward link repeater delay watermarking (FLRFWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A  repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) time delay modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the time delay watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or A-GPS systems. A  forward link time delay watermarking system can be implemented to achieve low impact on FL and AFLT performance, favorable detection and identification probabilities, and short time-to-detect/identify.
