the biomass in the slurry thereby creating a sheared slurry. The device has a chamber containing a fixed stator equipped with coaxial toothed rings meshing with opposing coaxial toothed tings coupled to a rotor that is coupled to a rotatable shaft.
5370994 5371004 SOLID PHASE ASSAY FOR UREA Stewart Thomas; Vonk Glenn; Mapes James P Durham, NC, UNITED STATES Assigned to Becton Dickinson and Company A method for detecting urea in a liquid sample in which urease is adsorbed on a solid support such as a membrane and contacted with a solution suspected of containing urea, a pH-dependent reducing agent and a teu'azolium salt. When urea is present in the solution, the adsorbed urease converts it to ammonia, thus raising the pH and causing the pH-dependent reducing agent to reduce the tetxazolium salt to an insoluble colored formazan. The formazan precipitates as a detectable spot on the solid support, indicating the presence of urea in the liquid sample.
5370999 TREATMENT OF FIBROUS LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS BY HIGH S H E A R F O R C E S I N A TURBULENT COUETTE FLOW TO MAKE THE BIOMASS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HYDROLYSIS Smart Earnest D Brenham, TX, UNITED STATES Assigned to Colorado State University Research Foundation High-shear, microcavitation is used to shred and disintegrate fibrous lignocellulose-containing biomass to make the biornass more susceptible to hydrolysis. This process is preferably done with the biomass particles dispersed in a slurry created using only water. The process can be performed on slurries created with other liquids such as liquid ammonia, aqueous solutions of acid or alkali reagents, or enzyme solutions containing cellulase. High-shear microoavitation is carried out by subjecting the slurry to high-shear forces by injecting the slurry cross currently into a turbulent Couette flow created in a highfrequency, rotor-stator device. This microoavitation shatters the fibrous structure of
BIOLOGICAL DETECTION RADIATION
OF
Quintern Lothar Bornheim, GERMANY Assigned to Deutsch Forschungsanstalt fur Luftund Raumfahrt E V The present invention relates to a method and a device for the biological detection of radiation by microorganisms in form of a microorganism coating provided on a sheet substrate, which microorganism coating is exposed, optionally after calibration by exposure to a defined radiation dose, to the radiation to be detected. The principle of evaluating the biologically weighted quantification of the radiation dose consists of photometrically determining the decrease in response to the radiation dose of the amount of synthetically formed products upon selectively staining the biosynthesis products.
