Patent EP-0979313-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BEYZAVI ALI
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 1998-04-17
Abstract: Le minerai de fer humide granulé est tout d'abord guidé à travers une zone de séchage, d'où le fer ressort à une température comprise entre 120 et 400 °C. Le fer est ensuite mis en contact direct avec un gaz chaud pour être porté à des températures comprises entre 700 et 1100 °C, avant d'être placé dans une zone de réduction. Le fer qui sort de la zone de séchage est guidé en totalité ou en partie à travers un dispositif de séparation, pour dissocier le minerai en une fraction à gros grains et en une fraction à grains fins. La fraction à grains fins est placée dans un dispositif de granulation pour produire un granulat de minerai de fer qui est guidé dans la zone de séchage. La fraction à gros grains est portée à des températures comprises entre 700 et 1100 °C, avant d'être acheminée dans la zone de réduction.

IPC: H04N7/26

Abstract: In an embedded DCT-based (EDCT) image coding method, decoded images which give better PSNR over earlier JPEG and DCT-based coders are obtained by a scanning order starting, for each bitplane, from the upper left corner of a DCT block (corresponding to the DC coefficient) and transmitting the coefficients in an order of importance. An embedded bit-stream is produced by the encoder. The decoder can cut the bit-stream at any point and therefore reconstruct an image at a lower bitrate. The quality of the reconstructed image at this lower rate is the same as if the image was coded directly at that rate. Near lossless reconstruction of the image is possible, up to the accuracy of the DCT coefficients. The algorithm is very useful in various applications, like WWW, fast browsing of databases, medical imaging, etc.

Abstract: The present invention features vanilloid receptor polypeptides and vanilloid receptor-related polypeptides, specifically the capsaicin receptor subtypes VR1 and VR2 (VRRP-1), as well as the encoding polynucleotide sequences. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. In other related aspects, the invention features transgenic animals having altered capsaicin receptor expression, due to, for example, the presence of an exogenous wild-type or modified capsaicin receptor-encoding polynucleotide sequence. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a capsaicin receptor polypeptide, and methods for producing these polypeptides. Further, the invention provides methods for using capsaicin receptor, including methods for screening candidate agents for activity as agonists or antagonists of capsaicin receptor activity, as well as assays to determine the amount of a capsaicin receptor-activating agent in a sample. In other related aspects, the invention provides methods for the use of the capsaicin receptor for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease and painful syndromes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel low-flavor cocoa, a method for its production and a use thereof. The novel low-flavor cocoa is obtainable from unfermented cocoa beans by a two step process. In the first step the unfermented beans are treated to destroy the cellular and subcellular structures and then in a second step they are subjected to an oxidation treatment. This method suppresses the formation of flavor and hence low-flavor cocoa is obtained which is e.g. useful as substitute for cocoa butter in the manufacture of chocolate and for the compensation of variations in the flavor intensity of untreated cocoa.

Abstract: A securement device (8) includes a simply-structured retention mechanism that permits a portion of a catheter hub or a similar medical article to be easily anchored to a patient, without the use of tape or needles and suturing. A unitary retainer (30) desirably includes a base (34) defining a locator mechanism (28). The locator mechanism interacts with a fitting (12) of the medical device so as to position the medical device relative to the retainer. The locator mechanism also desirably guides the medical device fitting into contact with an adhesive member (24) mounted on an outer surface of the retainer. The locator mechanism may include one or more posts (28) that engage mating holes (20) defined in the medical device fitting (12). The locator mechanism includes a cradle defining an arcuate channel to receive a convex surface of the medical device, or a recess shaped to matingly receive the fitting. The retainer is attached to a flexible anchor pad (32) that includes an adhesive bottom surface, which can be attached to the patient's skin. In use, a health care provider positions the medical device fitting on the retainer in a position established and guided by the locator mechanism, and attaches the fitting to the retainer via the adhesive member.

Abstract: We have developed a chicken (Gallus domesticus) Z-chromosome-specific DNA library in a phage vector, by means of chromosome microisolation and microcloning. The chromosomal origin, specificity and purity was evaluated by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on chicken metaphases. Heterologous chromosome painting, using this Z-chromosome-specific probe on turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) metaphases identified its homologous Z-chromosome, under the same stringent conditions as that used in the chicken, indicating a high degree of Z-chromosome sequence homology among these two species. This chicken Z-chromosome library will facilitate the development of Z-chromosome-specific DNA markers that will be useful for genetic mapping in the domestic chicken and related avian species. The Z-chromosome-specific DNA probe will also be useful for studies pertaining to the sex chromosome evolution in avian species.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes at least one polarizer (17) located interior or internally of substrates (13,29) of the display. In certain embodiments, the polarizer may be spin-coated onto the interior of one of the substrates (29), preferably the passive substrate of the display. Such a polarizer may also be located interior of color filters (23,25,27) on the copassive substrate. Thus, light being transmitted through the display proceeds through the front polarizer (17) prior to being de-polarized by the color filters. The result is improved contrast ratios in the display due to the minimization of the de-polarizing of color filters. In certain embodiments, the internal polarizer(s) may be photo-patternable by way of ultraviolet photo-imaging.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the
freezing of frozen goods (1), for example fish or meat,
by means of thermodynamic exchange processes and to a
freezing apparatus, in particular for carrying out the
method. 
     Since the goods (1) transported on a conveyor
band (2) dip at least partially, and preferably also to a
variable depth, depending on the goods, into an accessory
trough (5) filled with liquid nitrogen, a greater
freezing depth can be achieved in the goods (1), with the
result that a subsequent dwell time in a freezing chamber
for freezing through is advantageously reduced, so that
the goods (1) can be frozen through and delivered for
further processing altogether more quickly. In addition
to storage costs which can be saved, shorter transit
times advantageously lead to higher productivity.
Moreover, advantageously, distortion of the goods (1)
and/or separation of layers or part-layers of the goods
(1) are avoided. 
     The invention can also be used in existing
freezing apparatuses by the retrofitting of an accessory
trough (5), for example above collecting troughs (9)
which are conventionally present.
