Title: Metods and apparatus for burning fuel with low nox formation
Inventor: JONES ANDREW P
IPC: F23D14/02
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for burning fuel with low NO x formation are provided. A method of the invention for discharging a mixture of fuel gas and air into a furnace wherein the mixture is burned and flue gases having a low NO x content are formed includes the following steps. A first portion of the fuel gas is mixed with a first portion of the air to form a primary fuel gas-air mixture. The primary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged into a primary burning zone in the furnace from at least one discharge location surrounded by a wall which extends into the furnace. A  second portion of the fuel and a second portion of the air are mixed to form a secondary fuel gas-air mixture. The secondary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged into a secondary burning zone in the furnace from at least one discharge location adjacent to an exterior side of the wall. The secondary fuel gas-air mixture is discharged at a velocity whereby the secondary fuel gas-air mixture is not ignited and burned until the mixture spreads over an exterior side of the wall, mixes with flue gases in the furnace and flows beyond the wall.

Patent CA-2386306-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VETRANO NICOLA
IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: Many vehicle battery chargers require cumbersome additional batteries or intermittent charging. The WHEEL BATTERY CHARGER simplifies the process. It effectively and efficiently utilizes the vehicles own motion when in drive to produce the recharging process. It is uncomplicated and easily accomplished while driving and can be adapted to all vehicles.   Using a standard wheel (tire dimensions according to vehicle model and size) fixed to the vehicle structure and connected to the generator by a flywheel, the recharging process becomes part of the driving experience when the vehicle is in motion.   The wheel is controlled by a lever inside the vehicle that can be operated manually, electronically or by hydraulics - again, according to the unique specifications of a vehicle. The simple dropping or lifting of this lever by the driver will rise or lower the wheel to the ground. When the wheel is lowered to make contact with the ground, it will spin according to the vehicle's speed and this spinning motion will begin the recharging process by the rotations of the flywheel which is connected to the generator which provides the charging power.   When recharging has been completed, the lever is used to raise the wheel from the ground and the recharging process ends. The WHEEL BATTERY CHARGER makes recharging that simple.

Title: Trap-tagging: a novel method for the identification and purification of rna-protein complexes
Inventor: KRAUSE HENRY M
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-10-11
Abstract: With the recent completion of several genome sequencing projects, scientists have embarked on comprehensive attempts to unravel all of the interactions amongst their gene products. While many proteomics efforts are well under way, little attention has been paid to the RNA products of these genes. The variety and scope of roles that RNA molecules play in biological processes is only now beginning to be appreciated. Consequently, "ribonomics" will likely be the next focus of genomic efforts. Unfortunately, conventional methods for the isolation and identification of specific RNA-protein complexes are plagued by a number of problems not encountered in genomics or proteomics. Here we describe a method that circumvents these problems. The TRAP (Tandem RNA Affinity Purification) tag is a dual RNA tagging system that facilitates gentle purification of RNA molecules along with the proteins, RNAs and other small molecules specifically associated with them.
