IPC: C12Q1/6876
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: The present invention provides non-invasive methods and compositions to differentiate, with a high level of sensitivity and specificity, swine that are genetically susceptible to diseases associated with F18 E. coli infection, from resistant swine. DNA polymorphisms in the swine alpha (1,2) fucosyltransferase 1 (FUT1) gene were used to differentiate resistant from susceptible swine. The invention includes a polypeptide with amino acid substitutions, encoded by the nucleotide polymorphisms, a molecular diagnostic assay, and a kit for the differentiation, of E. coli F18-adhesion resistant, heterozygous (carrier) and homozygous susceptible pigs. The molecular test identifies susceptibility to oedema disease and postweaning diarrhea with high sensitivity and specificity, therefore, is useful to swine breeder in their effort to enhance for resistance. Information on the polymorphisms of the present invention provides insight into causation and treatment of E. coli associated intestinal disorders.

Title: System, apparatus, and method for underwater tagging of marine fauna
Inventor: GUDBJORNSSON SIGMAR
IPC: A01K61/00
Filed: 2000-05-11
Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for underwater self- contained and remotely controllable tagging of marine fauna involves emplacement of a tagging unit that can be used for example in a fishing trawl and establishment of communications with the unit through a cable wire that may be conventional. Numerous types of information can be recorded in relation to the tagging, including two- and/or three-dimensional images of the animal, to be used at a later date when the tagged animal is recovered. The method decreases tagging mortality and the biological effects of tagging on the animals, since they are not exposed to temperature and pressure changes, human handling and, at times, anesthesia. The embodiment makes it possible to tag deep-sea species that have never been tagged due to the fact that they would not survive the ambient changes of coming to the water's surface.

Title: In-pipe wastewater treatment system
Inventor: JOWETT CRAIG E
IPC: C02F3/06
Filed: 2002-07-04
Abstract: An aerobic waste-water treatment apparatus includes an elongate trough or pipe 20 which holds a body of porous and water permeable treatment material 23 such as an open cell foam with capillary action which can support vigorous colonies of microbes fitted on the bottom of the trough and extending between the walls but having an air gap 24 at the top between the roof 25 of the trough and the top of the material. The trough is at least three times as long as it is wide. During treatment of water contaminated with carbonaceous BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), the water moves from the inlet, seeping through the foam and having an average standing level 27 to the outlet, and is exposed to the microbes growing in the foam and using oxygen from the space above the foam to perform aerobic breakdown reactions of the BOD in the water residing in the pores of the treatment material.
