| 20090291021 | Methods for Preventing Microbial Colonization of Gas Cylinders and Coupling Components - This invention relates to the field of gas-containing storage vessels, and more specifically to the provision for antimicrobial surfaces within such vessels and in the connecting hardware associated with various applications of such vessels, so that microbial colonization of the interior of such vessels may be eliminated or retarded. This antimicrobial feature may result in improved safety in the use of such vessels, with reduced risk of the transmission of infection to a user. The invention further includes methods to provide gas-containing storage vessels with antimicrobial surfaces, so that microbial colonization of the interior of such vessels may be eliminated or retarded. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090289071 | Flow Through Components with an Antimicrobial Lining - This invention relates to the field of gas-containing storage vessels, and more specifically to the provision for antimicrobial surfaces within such vessels and in the connecting hardware associated with various applications of such vessels, so that microbial colonization of the interior of such vessels may be eliminated or retarded. This antimicrobial feature may result in improved safety in the use of such vessels, with reduced risk of the transmission of infection to a user. The invention further includes methods to provide gas-containing storage vessels with antimicrobial surfaces, so that microbial colonization of the interior of such vessels may be eliminated or retarded. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20080308468 | Ore Beneficiation Flotation Processes - A method for optimizing an ore beneficiation flotation process through which a comminuted ore slurry, which includes a sulphide mineral, passes to produce a final flotation concentrate and a final flotation tail. The method comprises measuring oxygen demand in two or more locations in one or more of ore slurry, the final flotation concentrate and the final flotation tail, the locations being based on the potential for oxygen demand in the locations to be significantly different from each other, which would indicate that sulphide mineral particle oxidation can be manipulated. If sulphide mineral particle oxidation can be manipulated, flotation of the sulphide mineral is either promoted or suppressed (activated or deactivated) by manipulation of sulphide mineral particle oxidation depending on whether or not the sulphide mineral includes a valuable metal. | 12-18-2008 |
