20110020467 | Inhibition of Biogenic Sulfide Production Via Biocide and Metabolic Inhibitor Combination - Biogenic sulfide production is synergistically inhibited by treating sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) with a biocide and a metabolic inhibitor.

20120031093 | Large water turbine - This invention captures hydrokinetic energy to do work such as produce electricity. The hydrokinetic flow exerts a torque on a turbine wheel. The wheel causes a set of tanks to rotate around a horizontal centerline. Working fluid drains from tanks near the top of the wheel to drive a conventional turbine before draining into lower tanks. Although a mechanical power transmission driven by the turbine wheel is simpler in concept, scale up to large slowly rotating wheels encounters increasingly difficult design problems: transmission of 1 kW at 1 rpm requires 6,959 ft-lb. In contrast, the conventional turbine of the fluid drive system provides mechanical power for use at a much higher speed than the turbine wheel. Therefore, very large engines can be built without a step-up transmission or components that must withstand extremely large torque loads. One unit can produce reliable 24/7 utility-scale base-load electrical power. | 02-09-2012 |
20150048200 | HIGH-SPEED VTOL AIRCRAFT - This invention can take-off like a helicopter and then roll forward as a single unit to fly faster and further than any conventional helicopter. Just like the seats in a Ferris wheel, the payload of passengers or freight can remain upright and comfortable as this aircraft rotates from take-off to fast forward and back to landing mode. Prior inventions claiming similar performance generate lift for take-off and landing by relative rotation of major aircraft components or by vectoring a thrust through large angles of deflection which produces inherently unstable flight characteristics. This invention requires neither rotation of major assemblies nor highly vectorable thrust, making it simpler and more reliable than the aircraft with major rotating assemblies and more stable and efficient than aircraft relying on vectored thrust for lift. | 02-19-2015 |

20120309734 | COMBRETASTATIN DERIVATIVES AND USES THEREFOR - Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Although many advances have been made in the treatment and management of the disease, the existence of chemotherapy-resistance means there is still a great need to develop new strategies and drugs for its treatment. Provided herein are synthetic derivatives of combretastatin A-4, in particular those in which the aromatic rings are locked into a non-isomerisable active conformation, thus resulting in improved, stable compounds. The novel compounds are structurally related to combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) and lock the rings into the known active conformation by means of a four membered nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring, such as a beta-lactam ring, incorporated into the standard CA-4 structure. The compounds exhibit potent anti-cancer activity. | 12-06-2012 |
