Title: Granulates containing feed-enzymes
Inventor: ANDELA CARL SIDONIUS MARIA
IPC: A23K1/165
Filed: 2000-02-10
Granted: 2004-06-24
Abstract: A process for the preparation of an enzyme-containing granulate is disclosed where an aqueous enzyme-containing liquid is mixed with a solid carrier and optionally additive ingredients and is mechanically processed into granules, dried and subsequently coated with polyethylene glycol. The solid carrier preferably essentially consists of an edible carbohydrate polymer. Additive ingredients that could be further incorporated in the formulation of the granules are a gel-forming or slow dissolving compound such as polyvinyl alcohol, water soluble inorganic salts comprising divalent cations and trehalose. This enzyme granulate is suitable for the manufacture of animal feed compositions by mixing feed ingredients with the granulate, treating with steam and pelleting. The compositions show improved enzyme stability during the pelleting process and during storage. At the same time, the dissolution time of the granule is very short so that the bioavailability of the enzyme to the animal is improved.

Title: Process and apparatus for the gas-phase polymerisation of olefins in a fluidised-bed reactor
Inventor: CHINH JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 1989-06-20
Granted: 1991-06-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for the gas-phase polymerisation of olefins in a fluidised-bed reactor maintained at a temperature T1. A gaseous reaction mixture comprising the olefins to be polymerised passes through the reactor and is recycled to the reactor by means of a recycling line comprising successively a first heat transfer means, a compressor and a second heat transfer means. The present invention consists in introducing a readily volatile liquid hydrocarbon into the inlet of the first heat transfer means or into the recycling line, upstream and in the vicinity of the first heat transfer means. The first heat transfer means cools the gaseous reaction mixture to a temperature T2, below T1, while volatilising the readily volatile hydrocarbon and without condensing a constituent of the gaseous reaction mixture. The second heat transfer means cools the gaseous reaction mixture to a temperature T3, below T2, for maintaining the fluidised-bed at the desired temperature T1.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE86/00117 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 19, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 19, 1986 PCT Filed Mar. 19, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO86/05511 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 25, 1986.The present invention concerns a process for secondary purification and stabilization of liquids containing polyphenols and/or proteins. The liquid to be treated is first subjected to a centrifuge, or similar apparatus, which performs the primary purification of the liquid. The treated liquid is then mixed with stabilizing means that adsorb the polyphenols and proteins and filter means that retain the fine turbidities contained within the liquid. The liquid mixture is then transferred to an alluvial filter apparatus in laminar flow wherein the filter means and stabilization means along with the adsorbed polyphenols and proteins form a filter cake. The purified liquid is then transported to subsequent treatment while the filter cake is subsequently treated with a solution which dissolves the polyphenols and protein thereby regenerating the stabilization means and the filter means.

Title: Breaking a hard material
Inventor: EDNEY BARRY E
IPC: F01B11/00
Filed: 1980-10-22
Granted: 1984-03-22
Abstract: A liquid jet cannon having a reciprocably movable piston device (6). The piston device is held in cocked position against the action of a gas pressure accumulator (19) by liquid pressure in a first chamber (15) until initiation of a power stroke. The power stroke is initiated by depressurization of a control chamber (16), whereby a valve (11) is moved to its open position so that a flow communication (39) is created between the first chamber (15) and a second chamber (17). The first chamber is thus rapidly depressurized so that the pressure in the gas pressure accumulator (19) drives the piston device (6) into a liquid chamber (14) to produce a liquid jet pulse for breakage of the hard material.

Title: Rotary sliding closure unit
Inventor: MEIER ERNST
IPC: B22D41/26
Filed: 1981-05-21
Granted: 1984-04-12
Abstract: A rotary sliding closure unit for use in a liquid melt container extends inwardly through the jacket of the container and into the lining thereof to selectively block and unblock a pouring opening of the container. The unit includes a stationary refractory plate positioned within the lining and having therethrough a flow passage in communication with the pouring opening, and a rotary refractory plate positioned in sliding abutting contact with the stationary refractory plate and having therethrough at least one flow passage to be selectively moved into and out of alignment with the flow passage of the stationary refractory plate. The two refractory plates have complementary abutting relative sliding surfaces located within the interior of the jacket of the container. A stationary tube member extends through the jacket and into the lining and has an inner end grasping the stationary refractory plate. An intermediate member fixes the rotary refractory plate, and a rotary tube member extends through the jacket coaxially within the stationary tube member. The intermediate member is fixed with respect to the inner end of the rotary tube member to rotate therewith, but to enable relative axial movement therebetween. The intermediate member is axially urged away from the rotary tube member to thus urge the rotary refractory plate into pressure contact against the stationary refractory plate.

Title: Chemical cleaning of biological material
Inventor: ABRAHAM GINGER A
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1998-05-08
Granted: 2001-07-26
Abstract: The invention is directed to collagenous tissues which have been treated to remove non-collagenous components such as cells, cellular debris, and other extracellular matrix components, such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, normally found in native tissues. Treatment of the tissue with alkali, chelating agents, acids and salts removes non-collagenous components from the collagenous tissue matrix while controlling the amount of swelling and dissolution so that the resultant collagen matrix retains its structural organization, integrity and bioremodelable properties. The process circumvents the need to use detergents and enzymes which detrimentally affect the cell compatibility, strength and bioremodelability of the collagen matrix. The collagenous tissue matrix is used for implantation, repair, or use in a mammalian host.
