Title: Procédé pour maximiser la production de pha dans des organismes accumulant le glycogène
Inventor: BENGTSSON SIMON OLOF HARALD
IPC: C02F3/34
Filed: 2010-02-12
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé qui permet d'augmenter la production de PHA dans une biomasse de culture mixte. Dans une première phase du procédé, de la matière organique associée à un substrat est convertie en acides gras volatils. Dans le cas d'un procédé de traitement d'eaux usées, si les eaux usées contiennent suffisamment d'acides gras volatils (AGV) pour soutenir le procédé, il est alors inutile de convertir la matière organique en AGV. Dans une seconde phase du procédé, un processus de sélection anaérobie-aérobie est utilisé pour sélectionner les organismes accumulant le glycogène qui induisent ces organismes à proliférer et dominer la biomasse de culture mixte ouverte. Le fait de faire intervenir une charge organique relativement élevée sous forme de AGV dans la phase de traitement anaérobie du processus de sélection, permet de produire des organismes accumulant le glycogène ayant un niveau relativement élevé de glycogène stocké. Dans une troisième phase, le processus d'accumulation de PHA est mis en oeuvre lorsque les organismes riches en glycogène sont des AGV introduits dans des conditions anaérobie ou aérobie ou des combinaisons de ces dernières. Par la consommation de AGV provenant de l'extérieur et de glycogène stocké à l'intérieur, on produit des niveaux relativement élevés de PHA dans la biomasse. Ensuite le PHA est séparé de la biomasse résiduelle.

Abstract: A method of dealing with the electrode polarization error when analyzing a dielectric test medium is achieved by firstly applying an excitation current to the test medium at a test frequency, by means of a first electric couple (23, 24) comprising excitation electrodes (23, 24). Next the voltage across the excitation electrode couple (23, 24) is measured and the voltage across a second couple of electrodes (25, 26) is also measured. The measured voltages across the first and second electrode couples are compared in order to derive a polarization correction factor which is used to provide a corrective value for the capacitance, or conductivity measurement. The method is suitable for use in industrial on-line applications.

Abstract: A digital storage oscilloscope employs an improved edge triggering circuit that discards some of trigger events when it determines that there are many more trigger events than the oscilloscope can use. The determination is made in response to detection of a characteristic of the signal that indicates a repetitive nature of a complex signal. Certain trigger events are selected to be acted upon, and others are discarded, in response to the determination. The circuitry dynamically reacts to changes in the input signal in response to detection of different criteria for a characteristic of repetition as the input signal changes.
