Patent number: 6174700Abstract: A compound having a polysaccharide binding domain such as contained by a cellulose and essentially lacking in polysaccharidase activity is purified from other ingredients in a mixture using an affinity partition system. A mixture containing the compound is contacted with a system containing as a first phase an aqueous solution of oligosaccharide polymer such as cellulose and as a second phase a solution of a polymer such as a poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(propylene glycol) copolymer. The compound petitions into the first phase and binds to the oligosaccharide polymer, preferably with a Ka of 103 to 107, to form a complex. The complex is collected, and the compound is dissociated from the oligosaccharide polymer. The compound may be formed of a non-peptide chemical moiety or a peptide moiety linked to a polypeptide having the polysaccharide binding domain.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1995Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: University of British ColumbiaInventors: Charles A.

Patent number: 6096119Abstract: In a two-stage, electrostatic precipitator for extracting airborne particles, charged plates are electrically connected to each other and physically separated from each other by ferrite spacers so that an impedance of the spacers limits an amount of arc discharge current that will flow when an arc discharge occurs from one of the charged plates. Ferrite spacers can also be provided to electrically connect and physically separate grounded plates in the precipitator. In addition, aluminum spacers can be provided to adjust the impedance of the series of spacers through which an arc discharge current flows, so that the current is a minimum necessary amount for an arc detection circuit to detect.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Trion, Inc.Inventors: Chi-Pai Ho, Ronald D.

Patent number: 6048715Abstract: A two-phase partition system is provided for affinity separation of a composition containing a polysaccharide binding peptide from a mixture such as a fermentation broth. The peptide may be from an enzyme and lacking in polysaccharidase activity such as the binding domain of cellulase that binds to cellulose. The system contains a phase-forming oligosaccharide polymer such as a cellulose derivative to which the peptide binds with a Ka of 10.sup.3 M to 10.sup.7 M, and a phase inducing agent such as a polyethylene glycol polymer, or a salt present at sufficiently high concentration to induce phase separation. If the oligosaccharide polymer is thermoseparating, phase separation can be induced by heating. Using the system involves contacting a composition containing the peptide such as a fusion protein with the system, partitioning the composition into a phase containing the oligosaccharide polymer by binding to the polymer and recovering the polymer containing the bound composition.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1996Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: Univ. of British ColumbiaInventors: Charles A. Haynes, Peter Tomme, Douglas G. Kilburn

Patent number: 4270519Abstract: A solar heating system adapted to provide heated air and water to a building structure with simple yet efficient components. The solar heating system comprises an air heating chamber which is exposed directly or indirectly to radiant solar energy, and air heated therein is directed to a heat exchange tank. The heated air from the air heating chamber is directed through bubble producing means, the bubbles rising through water contained in the heat exchange tank. Upon escaping from the heat exchange tank, the air may be directed to any one of three locations; firstly, the air may be directed back through the bubble producing means and into the water in the heat exchange tank, secondly, it may be directed to a building structure to provide heated, humidified air, and thirdly the escaping air may be directed to ambient atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1979Date of Patent: June 2, 1981Inventor: Charles Haynes
