Poulain - Hg Reduction using anoxygenic bacteria

MERCURY CLEAN UP This technology transforms mercury from the toxic form typically present in waste (Hg[2]) to its gaseous form that can be easily trapped (Hg[0]). It includes a bioreactor and methods to clean up soil contamination, or industrial effluent, using common bacteria that already exist in the environment. Details:Our bioreactor has been optimized...

Antioxidants to preserve lipids

This technology targets free radicals, the molecules that cause substances to break down when they are exposed to ultraviolet light. The antioxidants are stable at room temperature or under mild heating, and do not turn brown over time as is seen with comparable antioxidants. The compounds would be a suitable replacement for BHT and tocopherol in fine...

An Improved PCR-Based Method for DNA Assembly

The improved PCR-based method for DNA assembly allows for the assembly of DNA molecules in the 4-10 kb range from monomers or dimers with improved efficiency and in a shorter time compared to the methods currently available in the field. The method allows for the assembled DNA molecule to be integrated directly into a plasmid (e.g. E. coli shuttle vector)...

Efficient Cooling for Refrigeration, Ventilation, and Industrial Process

This evaporative cooling system provides a compact heat sink for chillers used in ventilation, appliances, and industrial process. The cooling systems includes a standard condenser set up that is cooled using evaporation rather than ambient air, and therefore efficiency is not reduced in hot environments. This membrane system brings the benefits of...
