20100104551 | METHOD FOR PROLONGING ACTIVITY OF AUTODEGRADABLE ENZYMES AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF - A composition of a long-acting enzyme comprises the enzyme in a formulation comprising a buffer and an additive selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid, ε-aminocaproic acid, and analogs of L-lysine other than tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid, combinations thereof, and mixtures thereof. The composition can further comprise another additive selected from the group consisting of L-lysine, L-arginine, L-ornithine (or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts; e.g., L-ornithine hydrochloride), γ-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, glycylglycine, triglycine, N-α-acetyl-L-arginine, betaine, sarcosine, gelatin, HSA, streptokinase, tPA, uPA, non-ionic surfactants, glycerin, D-sorbitol, combinations thereof, and mixtures thereof. A method for prolonging the activity of an autodegradable enzyme comprises storing the enzyme after manufacture at a low pH, and reconstituting the acidified enzyme before use with a solution containing at least one of such additives. The method is useful to provide enzyme for wide use, which otherwise would lose activity upon long storage. In one embodiment the method is applicable to provide enzyme for inducing controlled posterior vitreous detachment. | 04-29-2010 |

20110274233 | NUCLEAR VOLTAIC CELL - The invention describes a product and a method for generating electrical power directly from nuclear power. More particularly, the invention describes the use of a liquid semiconductor as a means for efficiently converting nuclear energy, either nuclear fission and/or radiation energy, directly into electrical energy. Direct conversion of nuclear energy to electrical energy is achieved by placing nuclear material in close proximity to a liquid semiconductor. Nuclear energy emitted from the nuclear material, in the form of fission fragments or radiation, enters the liquid semiconductor and creates electron-hole pairs. By using an appropriate electrical circuit an electrical load is applied and electrical energy generated as a result of the creation of the electron-hole pairs. | 11-10-2011 |

20150220869 | EVALUATION OF OUTPUT-PRODUCING ASSET PRODUCTIVITY - Evaluation of output-producing-asset production may be performed at least by incorporating knowledge of operators of the output-producing asset into the generation of values of performance-based metrics for the output-producing asset. Since such knowledge may be only known by the respective operators, mechanisms, such as a graphical user interface (“GUI”), may be provided by which an operator inputs such knowledge and by which such knowledge is incorporated into the generation of values of performance-based metrics for an output-producing asset. A results screen may be generated to display values of performance-based metrics in a configuration that facilitates quick and simple understanding by a decision-maker or other user on how to improve return on the investment (“ROI”) in an output-producing asset. | 08-06-2015 |
