Abstract: A compact, high efficiency, non-interruptible ac motor-generator power system unit for generating and supplying to a load ac of a substantially constant frequency and voltage, wherein a high efficiency, high torque synchronous permanent magnet ac motor has a common rotor with the ac generator, and both motor and generator rotors comprise magnetic cores each with a layer of magnetizable permanent magnetic material on the surface. The stators of both the motor and generator have an excitation coil energizable with single phase ac about a pole piece juxtaposed with the respective layer whereby to magnetize the layer into a selected pattern of north and south magnetic poles. Both of the stators also have feedback windings, however the motor feedback winding is in a resonant circuit with its excitation coil so that when ac potentials are induced therein during rotation they are combined to provide a high ac single phase potential, while in the generator, there is a circuit to have the feedback coil substantially suppress the induced ac potential in the excitation coil, and single phase ac from a separate source is supplied to the excitation coil in the generator. The layer of magnetizable permanent magnetic material preferably comprises a material having a coercive force, Hc, in oersteds that is less than about 0.45 of the numerical value of the residual induction Br, in gauss of the fully saturated material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a family of materials useful for removing immune complexes from blood preferentially to soluble antibodies. The material comprises analogs of proteins which bind to the Fc region of immunoglobulin. The analogs are produced by truncating or otherwise altering the amino acid sequence of the binding protein to reduce their affinity for Fc. An array of such analogs disposed about the surface of an insoluble matrix has the ability to form multiple points of attachment to the multiple Fc's in a complex so as to bind complex strongly, whereas only weak associations are developed between the Fc region of soluble IgG and individual analogs. The preferred analogs are truncated proteins homologous to a portion of the domains of Protein A or Protein G which bind with Fc. Complex may be removed from whole blood or serum using the material and conventional plasmapheresis techniques.

Abstract: A roasting apparatus for coffee beans comprises a housing and a horizontal drum on the housing rotatable about an axis with an opening on a first end thereof for receiving and discharging beans and a plurality of openings on a second end opposite the first end of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass the beans. The apparatus includes a heater in the housing capable of heating the drum to roast the beans and a fan adapted to move air through the first and second ends of the drum. A pair of doors pivotally mounted on a common hinge between the fan and the drum are movable between a closed position during roasting substantially blocking passage of free flow of air through the drum and an open position permitting free flow of the air once the beans are sufficiently roasted. A chaff collector is secured to the housing at an end opposite the drum first end. The collector has a plurality of openings of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass chaff from the beans. When the beans are sufficiently roasted, the fan moves air through-the opening in the first end of the drum and the open doors and cause chaff to be removed from the roasted beans or other food and carried with the air through the openings in the second end of the drum. The chaff is then collected within the chaff collector as the air passes through the openings therein.
