  • Patent number: 9434461
    Abstract: A device for treating ballast water includes a housing having a ballast water inlet and a ballast water outlet, a hydrocyclone connected to the ballast water inlet and having a particle outlet discharging particles from the device and an outlet carrying particle-depleted ballast water, a filter surrounding the hydrocyclone, which filter divides the device into an intermediate chamber disposed between hydrocyclone and filter and an outer chamber disposed between filter and housing. The intermediate chamber is communicatively connected to the outlet of the hydrocyclone carrying particle-depleted ballast water. Ultrasound is generated to act on the outer chamber and/or the filter, UV light is generated to act on the outer chamber and/or the filter, and a gas is introduced into the outer chamber of the device.

  • Publication number: 20080050351
    Abstract: The invention relates to genetic approaches to supply nucleotide sequences encoding modified forms of the native forms of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I): mature ApoA-I, reproApoA-I and proApoA-I; including native ApoA-I modified to contain ApoA-I agonists, peptides which mimic the activity of ApoA-I; ApoA-I superagonists, peptides which exceed the activity of native ApoA-I; and modified native ApoA-I having one or more amphipathic helices replaced by the nucleotide sequences of one or more ApoA-I agonists; for the treatment of disorders associated with dyslipoproteinemia, including cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, restenosis, hyperlipidemia, and other disorders such as septic shock.
