    摘要: Methods for increasing the growth and biomass of algae and algae lipids by growing the algae in the presence of a polycationic substance such as soluble or insoluble chitosan and/or chitin are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of harvesting algae from an aqueous environment by growing the algae in aggregated clumps and/or mats (formed by the inclusion of soluble or insoluble chitosan and/or chitin or other polycationic or cationic substances) that can be easily removed from the aqueous environment either by filtration, surface skimming, and/or growing in a porous containment device, such as a natural or synthetic fabric, and removing the fabric from the aqueous environment containing the aggregated algae. The methods disclosed have direct applications in biofuel and energy production, agricultural feedstock production, nutrient production, greenhouse gas reduction, removal of microconstituents from water, and water reclamation.

    摘要: Chitosan-containing blends and methods of dissolving and using chitosan are disclosed. A blend includes a solid acid or a solid agent that generates a proton in situ in the presence of water mixed together with a dry solid chitosan, and may optionally contain other components. The blends are in a dry, free-flowing, particulate form. Methods of dissolving a blend typically comprise adding a quantity of the blend to a low volume of water and mixing until the chitosan and solid acid or solid agent are dissolved and then further diluting this mixture by the addition of water, or used as-is. Devices containing the blends are also described along with methods of using the devices, such as for controlled release of solubilized chitosan in a body of water, such as a stream, containing impurities (e.g., particles, sediment, or suspended matter or dissolved substances) to cause flocculation or precipitation of such impurities.

    摘要: A bracket is provided that is rigid and can be attached to a solid surface. The bracket allows a vinyl fence post to be fitted over and locked in place thus avoiding the necessity of pouring concrete into the post to provide a rigid post. The bracket has a base plate with bolts or anchor bolts that connects to a solid surface, an elongated member extends up from the base plate and has a cross-section to provide a sliding fit within a fence post. An expansion mechanism is provided at the top of the longitudinal member with tapered sides extending from within the longitudinal member to a larger cross-section than within the longitudinal member, and a tensioning bolt between the expansion basket and the bracket to force the expansion basket within the longitudinal member and expand the bracket to grip a fence post positioned over the longitudinal member.

    摘要: A cable terminating cabinet for terminating optical waveguide cables contains an array of optical waveguide connectors one side of each connector having a pigtail fiber attached to it, the pigtail fibers being spliced to waveguides of a cable terminated at the cabinet. Waveguides terminating at the other side of the connector are taken to electro-optic units where optical signals within the fibers are converted into corresponding electrical signals. The cabinets find application either at a central office cable terminating frame or in a test access unit at a location remote from the central office. The connectors are mounted in a panel which is exposed when a front cover of the cabinet is removed, the panel being pivoted about a vertically orientated hinge to expose a stacked set of splice organizing trays at the rear of the cabinet. Ready access is therefore possible to both the connector panel and the splice organizing trays. However the frontal area of the cabinet is small and, because access can be gained to both the trays and the connectors from the front of the cabinet, the cabinet can be wall mounted so saving space in a central office or test access location.
