Competitive Technologies Adds New Technologies to Portfolio.FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange : CTT CTT Correios (Portuguese Postal Service) CTT Certified Technical Trainer CTT Charity Technology Trust CTT Cholesterol Treatment Trialists' (collaboration) CTT Common Task Training ) today announced that it has selected several new and promising technologies for its portfolio. The first is a robust intellectual property in the area of metallurgy metallurgy (mĕt`əlûr'jē), science and technology of metals and their alloys. Modern metallurgical research is concerned with the preparation of radioactive metals, with obtaining metals economically from low-grade ores, with . This patent pending process greatly increases the efficiency in the forming of thin-walled, hollow structures, such as those used to form certain high value fuel tanks used in shipping, aerospace and energy applications. Also selected is a process for trapping trapping, most broadly, the use of mechanical or deceptive devices to capture, kill, or injure animals. It may be applied to the practice of using birdlime to capture birds, lobster pots to trap lobsters, and seines to catch fish. and removing cholesterol from dairy foods, particularly milk. CTT was asked by its strategic alliance partner, the Korea Technology Transfer Center (KTTC KTTC Korea Technology Transfer Center KTTC Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre (Toronto, Canada) KTTC Kent Technology Transfer Centre (UK) KTTC Keesler Technical Training Center ), who has exclusive worldwide rights to this technology, to assist in the commercialization of this exciting technology from a premier university in South Korea. The technology has the advantage of being a much more economical method than other existing methods to remove cholesterol from dairy foods and processed meats. The technology removes the cholesterol but leaves intact the natural components of the food especially those that impart texture and taste that are usually removed in cholesterol-free products. CTT plans to commercialize this technology in the North and South American markets. Competitive Technologies, Inc. has also signed an agreement with New England New England, name applied to the region comprising six states of the NE United States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The region is thought to have been so named by Capt. Medical Center Hospitals, Inc. (NEMCH), a world-class, academic medical center, to exclusively market and commercialize three U.S. patents assigned to NEMCH. The patents relate to methods for identifying cardiovascular therapeutic agents, vasoprotective agents and cardiovascular agents. The invention allows for more specific screening assays to identify vasoprotective and cardiovascular agents, such as a candidate agent's effect on cell proliferation proliferation /pro·lif·er·a·tion/ (pro-lif?er-a´shun) the reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells.prolif´erativeprolif´erous pro·lif·er·a·tion n. and/or cell activation activation /ac·ti·va·tion/ (ak?ti-va´shun) 1. the act or process of rendering active. 2. the transformation of a proenzyme into an active enzyme by the action of a kinase or another enzyme. 3. , or a candidate agent's effect on the expression of a gene which is responsive to estrogen. "Each year over 1.5 million Americans suffer heart attacks and approximately 500,000 die of that first attack. The economic impact of cardiovascular disease Cardiovascular disease Disease that affects the heart and blood vessels. Mentioned in: Lipoproteins Test cardiovascular disease is enormous. Total direct and indirect costs Indirect costs are costs that are not directly accountable to a particular function or product; these are fixed costs. Indirect costs include taxes, administration, personnel and security costs. See also
