20110179504 | Method For Coral Tissue Cultivation And Propagation - This invention relates to a novel method of culturing coral tissues and polyps in vitro. Coral tissues obtained by the method of the invention may be maintained as heterotypic spheroid tissue balls for a period of at least three months or they may be induced to undergo development into new polyps, a process termed re-morphogenesis. This method can produce genetic clones of model species from single individuals that can be propagated either as undifferentiated tissue calli or as developed polyps. The products of the invention are of value to a number of educational, scientific, and commercial endeavors. Specifically, this method can be used to propagate genetic clones (strains) of a model organism for scientific research, to serve as ‘pro-environmental conservation’ sources of coral stock for educational specimens as well as a rapidly generated inventory for commercial aquarium industry. The method of the invention can produce sustainable test lines of corals that could be used to generate risk assessments for the impact of chemicals/activities on coral reefs, as well as being used as part of a regulatory protocol for testing waste effluent and other discharges. | 07-21-2011 |
20100193035 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OSCILLATING FLUID JETS - A method of causing a fluid flow to oscillate between two exit directions. The method comprises causing a primary flow of fluid through a conduit, the conduit characterized by two exit directions and providing first and second oscillation control ports, said first and second oscillation control ports transverse to said conduit and connected to one another by a feedback tube. | 08-05-2010 |
20090298814 | Novel salts of conjugated psychotropic drugs and processes of preparing same - Novel chemical conjugates of a psychotropic drug residue and an amino-containing organic acid residue selected to reduce side effects induced by the psychotropic drug when administered per se, to enhance the therapeutic activity of the psychotropic drug and/or to exert anti-proliferative activity, in which the amino group is in the form of an acid addition salt thereof and which are characterized by high stability are disclosed. Further disclosed are processes for preparing the chemical conjugates and addition salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing the chemical conjugates and methods utilizing the chemical conjugates for treating various medical conditions. | 12-03-2009 |
20080255431 | Early Detection and Warning of Harmful Agents - A method of detecting the presence of harmful agents in the environment is disclosed. The method comprises: providing a plurality of portable agent detectors, placing the detectors on vectors in the environment, connecting the detectors over a communication network, and, upon detection of an agent by a first detector, signaling detectors identified as being nearby to carry out corresponding agent detection tests, thereby to confirm or localize an initial agent detection. | 10-16-2008 |
