  • Method and apparatus for heat treatment of waste
    Patent number: 9555142
    Abstract: The method for the heat treatment of waste includes introducing the waste by into a bag and placing the bag inside an apparatus for treating waste, the apparatus including a cylindrical barrel, a removable closure lid and a bottom moveable inside the barrel, at least in the direction of the lid. After the bag has been placed in the apparatus heat treatment of waste is carried out by raising the temperature of the lid and the bottom and by providing this lid and this bottom with a hold temperature. At least during the rise in temperature of the lid and the bottom, and before the hold temperature is reached, this lid and this bottom are moved towards each other at least once. A temperature conferred on the lid differs by at most 2° C. from the temperature of the bottom.

  • Method for controlling the operation of a heat-disinfecting device for waste, viz. biologically hazardous waste
    Patent number: 7204956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of such a heat-disinfecting device for waste, viz. biologically hazardous waste, on the one hand, including a mold inside which is placed waste and, on the other hand, being designed capable of ensuring compacting, heating and cooling this waste in this mold. This control method is characterized in that during compacting and before applying heating the presence of a non-compactable object in the mold is checked, in order to either complete compacting if no such non-compactable object is detected or to interrupt the process in the event such a non-compactable object is detected.

  • WASP and N-WASP constructs and methods of expressing such constructs
    Publication number: 20060024786
    Abstract: WASP and N-WASP proteins are provided that can be expressed in soluble form, including fusion proteins that contain full-length WASP and N-WASP. The proteins retain at least partial activity of full length WASP or N-WASP and some of the proteins fully recapitulate the activity of full-length WASP and N-WASP. Methods for expressing full-length WASP and N-WASP are also provided.
