Title: Method for stabilizing nitrilase activity and preserving microbial cells
Inventor: DICOSIMO ROBERT
IPC: C12N11/08
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: A method for preserving immobilized or unimmobilized microbial cells having nitrilase activity and for stabilizing the nitrilase activity of unimmobilized or immobilized microbial cells has been developed. The unimmobilized or immobilized microbial cells are stored in an aqueous solution containing from about 0.10 M to the saturation concentration of an inorganic salt of bicarbonate or carbonate, including ammonium, sodium and potassium salts of bicarbonate or carbonate. Aqueous suspensions containing at least 100 mM  bicarbonate or carbonate limit microbial contamination of the stored enzyme catalyst, as well as stabilize the desired nitrilase activity of the unimmobilized or immobilized cells. Microorganisms which are characterized by a nitrilase activity and are stabilized and preserved by this method include <i>Acidovorax facilis</i> 72-PF-15 (ATCC 55747), <i>Acidovorax facilis</i> 72-PF-17 (ATCC 55745), <i>Acidovorax facilis</i> 72W (ATCC 55746), and transformed microbial cells having nitrilase activity, preferably <i>E.  coli</i> SS1001 (ATTCC PTA-1177) which is transformed with Acidovorax facilis 72W nitrilase activity.

Title: Rear-load transfer system
Inventor: REED THOMAS I III
IPC: B65F9/00
Filed: 2002-08-19
Abstract: The present invention teaches a waste container, especially a roll-off waste container, having a gate at one end, a waste transfer system to push wastes within the container out the gate, and lifting devices which raise the container to approximately the level of a garbage truck's hopper. The hopper may be the fixed rear hopper of a rear-load truck or a special container for a front load truck. The present invention furthermore teaches a new system for waste handling. Wastes are placed into a container, the container is raised, and the wastes are transferred to a garbage truck. The present invention may be used industrially, in construction, in residential settings, and commercially. The invention may be opened at sides or tops to meet the user's waste disposal needs, and may be connected to a building by a trash chute as is commonly used in compactor applications. The legs, gate, and transfer device may be hydraulically actuated, electrical, or may be actuated in other ways. Allowing servicing of roll-off containers by conventional garbage trucks as several advantages: it reduces the number of special roll-off hoist trucks required, it allows the garbage trucks to compact the wastes after transfer and it permits covered carrying of waste loads without special equipment. The apparatus may beactuated by being hooked to the hydraulic supply of the servicing truck, or from another nearby source, or it may have a self-contained power supply. A valve body mounted on the side of the apparatus, or a remote control device, may be used for control of operations.

IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de collecte et de conservation de sperme de divers animaux, comprenant entre autres des êtres humains, des canidés, des porcins, des bovins et des ovins. Le procédé comporte l'étape consistant à collecter le sperme dans un récipient de collecte contenant, préalablement à la collecte, une solution de produit d'addition de sperme. De plus, le produit d'addition est de préférence maintenu, pendant toute la durée de la collecte, à une température proche de la température corporelle normale de l'espèce dont le sperme est collecté. Le produit d'addition est choisi de manière à servir de tampon au pH de l'échantillon de sperme, et à être isotonique par rapport au sperme. Le volume du produit d'addition dans le récipient de collecte est choisi de préférence de manière à diluer initialement le volume de sperme dans le double du volume de la solution de produit d'addition ; et après une période donnée, l'échantillon de sperme dilué est dilué à nouveau selon le même rapport. La collecte dans un milieu d'addition chauffé permet de réduire le choc thermique froid et de pH imposé aux spermatozoïdes, comme le montrent les paramètres améliorés de sperme. La solution de produit d'addition est de préférence riche en ions calcium. On utilise un récipient de collecte ressemblant à un Y inversé pour collecter des échantillons de sperme distincts à des fins d'étude comparative.
