    Abstract: Mixtures of ethanol and water are dehydrated using starch pearls to adsorb and remove water. Vapor-phase adsorption equilibrium capacities of cassava starch pellets (tapioca pearls) having different particle sizes are disclosed, and tapioca pearl particles are shown to be surprisingly more effective for dehydrating 88 to 97% w/w feed ethanol than corn grits. The adsorption equilibrium curve and BET surface area measurement show that the adsorption capacity of tapioca pearls is a function of surface area available to water molecules. SEM images demonstrate that the particle architecture required for the adsorption and dehydration properties is that of a core- shell configuration with pre-gel starch acting as a central scaffold holding together other particles to the outer layer of the particle. The outer surface area of the pearls, populated with dry starch granules, is the main factor determining the adsorption capacity of the pearls. Tapioca pearls are shown to possess a surprisingly higher adsorption capacity than corn grits of the same particle size. Pearls of 2 mm size in diameter gave 34% higher linear adsorption equilibrium constant ( K ) than grits of 1.7 mm.

    Abstract: A regenerative anti-inflammatory composition is described to include 1 to 2 percent of comenic acid and 0.55 to 1.1 percent of sodium hydrocarbonate in a water solution, with an optional additive of up to 2.5 percent of benzyl-comenic acid. A method of treating a retinal dystrophy by injecting this composition parabulbarly or intravenously in appropriate amounts is also described. A non-peptide nature of the compound allows reducing side effects commonly associated with peptide-based compounds presently used for treatment of such dystrophy. Water-based solution of the composition is stable and amenable for storage in ampoules ready for injection thus obviating a need to make a solution from a powder, which is a common step with current treatment compounds.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to reduce the axial thrust in rotary machines such as compressors, centrifugal pumps, turbines, etc. includes providing additional peripheral restrictive means (7) attached at the peripheral portion of the disk forming the subdividing means (4) on the side facing the rotating rotor (2). An additional ring element at the periphery of the subdividing means forms additional radial (11) and axial restrictive means (15). Such peripheral restrictive means (7, 11 and 15) function as sealing dams, which combined with the outward flow induced by the rotating impeller, form self-pressurizing hydrodynamic bearings in the axial and radial planes, improving rotordynamic stability. Additionally, a stationary ring element in the center of the cavity forms a seal with the rotor, reducing leakage to suction.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (and optical transceiver module) is disclosed employing an optoelectronic thyristor device formed within a resonant cavity on a substrate, and a circuit integrally formed on the substrate. The circuit dynamically switches the thyristor between a transmit mode configuration and a receive mode configuration. In the transmit mode configuration the thyristor is modulated between a non-lasing state and a lasing state in accordance with an input digital electrical sign to thereby produce an output digital optical data signal that corresponds to the input digital electrical signal. In the receive mode configuration, the thyristor device is modulated between an non-lasing OFF state and a non-lasing ON state in accordance with an input digital optical signal that is injected into the resonant cavity, to thereby produce an output digital electrical data signal that corresponds to the input digital optical signal.

    Abstract: An improved THz detection mechanism includes a heterojunction thyristor structure logically formed by an n-type quantum-well-base bipolar transistor and p-type quantum-wellbase bipolar transistor arranged vertically to share a common collector region. Antenna elements, which are adapted to receive electromagnetic radiation in a desired portion of the THz region, are electrically coupled (or integrally formed with) the p-channel injector electrodes of the heterojunction thyristor device such the that antenna elements are electrically connected to the p-type modulation doped quantum well interface of the device. THz radiation supplied by the antenna elements to the p-type quantum well interface increases electron temperature of a two-dimensional electron gas at the p-type modulation doped quantum well interface thereby producing a current resulting from thermionic emission over a potential barrier provided by said first-type modulation doped quantum well interface. This current flows over the p-type channel barrier to the n­type quantum well interface, thereby causing charge to accumulate in the n-type quantum well interface. The accumulated charge in the n-type quantum well interface is related to the intensity of the received THz radiation. The heterojunction-thyristor-based THz detector is suitable for many applications, including data communication applications and imaging applications.
