Date Jun. 9, 1994An asymmetric membrane, osmotic, delivery device having coated macroparticulate solubility modifiers. The device comprises a beneficial agent, an osmagent, a coated macroparticulate solubility modifier and an asymmetric membrane that surrounds the device components. The device is useful for dispensing a beneficial agent to an aqueous environment of use. The coated macroparticles modify the solubility of the beneficial agent so that it's release can be controlled. The larger size of the solubility modifier macroparticles provides, for example, a longer release duration than would have been possible with a smaller size.

Abstract: The filter device (10), provided for the filtration of fluids, comprises two interconnected material structures (14, 16) forming a filter unit (12). The two material structures (14, 16) are mechanically stable, at least one of the two material structures (14, 16) being elastically deformable. The two material structures (14, 16) are connected to each other at opposite connecting sites, with one (16) of the material structures forming an arch between the connecting sites. This arch has been generated by elastic deformation of the respective material structure (16) so that this material structure (16) is mechanically biased. A stretching movement of this material structure (16) is prevented by the connection of this material structure (16) to the other material structure (14) which in turn is of substantially plane configuration and is tensioned. Each thus constructed filter unit (12) offers high stability against the forces generated by the fluid flow so that a filter element (10) comprising such filter units can be inserted without additional constructions or elements which maintain the arched structure of the curved one material structure (16).

The process comprises several rinsing stages consisting in draining the lubricant present in the cooling circuit, filling said circuit with a rinsing fluid, then homogenizing the residual CFC lubrifying mixture with the rinsing fluid by switching on the cooling system, and optionally measuring, in the rinsing fluid, the percentage of lubricant to be eliminated. The method is characterized in that an intermediate fluid compatible with the CFC fluid and capable of solubilizing the CFC lubricant and itself soluble in the HFC lubricant, is added into the first rinsing stage. In a subsequent stage, the intermediate fluid is replaced by the HFC lubricant, preferably when the CFC lubricant in the intermediate fluid is 15% or less. Rinsing with the HFC lubricant is discontinued when the intermediate fluid content in the HFC lubricant is 5% or less.

Abstract: A powder dispersion system, including a powder disperser and a control unit, supplies a controlled particle stream to a particle sizing system, instrument, or other processing device The powder disperser includes a dynamic shear dispersion assembly and may include a fluidization assembly. An impact surface for deagglomeration of particles is located within a rapid acceleration chamber of the dynamic shear dispersion assembly. The particles are accelerated from the impact surface through an annular nozzle. A feedback loop dynamically controls the dynamic shear force applied to the aerosol transport gas, which in turn places reaction forces upon the particles, within the annular nozzle. The fluidization assembly includes a primary chamber for holding a powder sample and a secondary chamber for entraining particles of the powder sample in a transport gas stream. A pulsed gas jet directed into the primary chamber disperses particles of the powder sample into the secondary chamber. Particles are transported from the secondary chamber to the dynamic shear dispersion assembly through a controlled velocity momentum tube.

Abstract: A method for dry peeling potatoes includes punching the periphery of a potato to form a partially peeled potato having a standardized dimension, moving the partially peeled potato under and over other cutting members to remove the remainder of the potato skin. According to a presently preferred method, the potato is punched with an oval-cylindrical punch and the punch is utilized to hold the potato as a workpiece for further cutting operations. An apparatus according to the invention includes a plurality of punches which are arranged in carriers for transport through an assembly line; a plurality of plungers arranged along the assembly line for pushing a potato into a punch, for removing scraps, for repositioning the potato in the punch for further cutting operations, for removing the peeled potato from the punch, and optionally for cutting the peeled potato into a plurality of pieces; a plurality of movable cutting knives arranged along the assembly line for removing skin from opposite sides of the potato as it is held in the punch; and a conveying means for moving the carriers to the plungers and knives along the assembly line. Circular and linear assembly lines are disclosed. The invention produces approximately half the waste as compared to known methods and apparatus. Moreover, the waste is dry and usable for cattle feed, for example, and need not be processed as a pollutant.
