  • Method for biocatalysis using filamentous fungi
    Patent number: 11254924
    Abstract: A method is disclosed in which filamentous fungi are macerated and encapsulated in an inert matrix to form beads, which can be used to promote reactions carried out by the fungi. The beads are useful, e.g., for producing compounds and compound libraries.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2022
    Assignee: The University of The West Indies
    Inventors: Paul B. Reese, Patrice Peart, Avril R. M. Chen-Collins
  • Method of treating strongyloides infections and medicaments therefor
    Patent number: 7709534
    Abstract: Infections caused by parasitic nematodes of the genera Strongyloides, Ancyclostoma, Necator, Haemonchus, Ascaris, or Trichuris in humans and other mammals are treated by administration to an infected individual of an amount of a C8-C16-alpha,beta-unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde. Such compounds are useful for killing nematode worms of the genera listed above. A particularly useful compound of this class, effective against S. stercoralis infections, is E-2-dodecenal, having structural formula (1).

  • Pressure limiting propellant actuating system
    Patent number: 4183217
    Abstract: A pressure limiting propellant actuating system includes an outer barrel housing having a combustion chamber formed therein. A main piston is movable in the barrel housing when a pressure is developed in the combustion chamber. A relief piston is concentrically mounted and fixedly movable with the main piston when the gas pressure is exerted thereon from the combustion chamber. The relief piston includes a separation mechanism for limiting the output force and simultaneously, maintaining output pressure from the combustion chamber.
