Abstract: An apparatus for continuously making extruded pasta products, such as spaghettis, comprising a device (26) for sensing the input power to an electric motor (19) which drives a screw (17) for forcing a dough through the extrusion plate (16), and a circuit (27) which generates a first signal indicative of the instantaneous value of the input power. The apparatus further comprises a circuit (28) comparing said signal with a reference signal whose value is indicative of the power that the motor (19) would absorb where the dough being extruded was in an optimum condition of texture. In the event that, from the comparison with the reference signal, a plus differential appears, the apparatus would operate the valving member (10) of the water feed line (9) to increase the flow, change the water-to-flour ratio, and make the dough texture thinner. On the contrary, the apparatus would operate the valving member (10) of the water feed line (9) to reduce the water infeed and thereby make the dough texture thicker. Thus, consistent quality can be ensured for the product, and the control arrangement, being based on detection of the input power to the motor (19), made to perform accurately and reliably.

Abstract: Devices for exhaust gas purification, in which pollutants in the exhaust gas are reacted or absorbed, for example by catalytic routes, must generally be individually planned and constructed for each plant, which necessitates a relatively high construction and capital expenditure and opposes a relatively rapid availability of the installation. To remedy these disadvantages, according to the invention it is provided that the device for exhaust gas purification is constructed in a modular fashion and includes at least one exhaust gas deflection module (16), at least one reaction module (2), in which the exhaust gas can be contacted with a reaction-inducing material, at least one exhaust gas adaptor module (34) and at least one exhaust gas pipe module (12). As a result, the entire device can be combined from prefabricated modules according to the building block principle, which shortens the planning phase, reduces the capital expenditure and the overall volume and increases the availability of the device. The device for exhaust gas purification, constructed in a modular fashion according to the invention, can be installed in principle into any exhaust gas pipe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to produce serologic variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface proteins in the form of particles with substantially reduced entrapped carbohydrate content, DNA encoding the HBV variant envelope proteins was expressed in a recombinant yeast hosts which are either wild type for, or deficient in their ability to glycosylate proteins. These HBV surface proteins display the variant antigenic sites genetically encoded by the S domain of the HBV virion envelope open reading frame and contain substantially reduced levels of entrapped carbohydrate when compared with HBsAg particles produced in "wild-type" yeast cells. These particles are useful as a vaccine for both the active and passive treatment or prevention of disease and/or infection caused by HBV or other agents serologically related to HBV and as diagnostic reagents and immunogens and antigens for developing diagnostic reagents.

Abstract: Grounding technology is provided for a short-wire, circuit board test fixture (204). As a result of the grounding technology, the ground between a circuit board test system and a circuit board (202) under test can be reliably controlled. The grounding technology provides testing at extremely higher speeds by minimizing ground bounce. An internal ground plane (230) is situated in the test fixture (204). Pursuant to one embodiment of the invention, a coax assembly (208) at ground potential surrounds critical signal paths (216) between the internal ground plane (230) and an alignment plate (210) situated at the bottom of the test fixture (204). Either a conductive alignment plate (210) or a conductive ground comb (412) affixed to a non-conductive alignment plate (410) is implemented to permit conduction of the ground signal between the board test system and the coax assembly (208). In another embodiment (500), an array of ground personality pins (502, 504) provides conduction of the ground signal between the internal ground plane (230) and the board test system. The ground personality pins (502,504) are clustered around critical signal paths to control impedance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a logging method and apparatus using electrodes. The apparatus comprise an array of azimuthal current electrodes (Aaz i ) that are circumferentially spaced apart from one another on a body together with two annular guard electrodes (A2) disposed on opposite sides of the array of azimuthal current electrodes (Aaz i ). Measurement currents (Iaz i ) are emitted by the current electrodes (Aaz i ) and focusing currents are emitted by the guard electrodes (A2). Azimuthal monitor electrodes (Maz i ) are associated with respective ones of the azimuthal current electrodes (Aaz i ). Two annular monitor electrodes (M3, M4) are disposed on opposite sides of the array of azimuthal current electrodes (Aaz i ). For focusing purposes, a servo-control system controls the emission of the currents so as to substantially cancel the potential difference detected between the short circuited monitor electrodes (M3, M4) and each of the azimuthal monitor electrodes (Maz i ). In response to the measurement currents (Iaz i ), output signals (Raz i ) are generated representative of the resistivity of the formations in a plurality of directions around the axis of the borehole. A high resolution output signal (Rhr) is also generated as a function of the sum of the measurement currents (Iaz i ).

Title: Stable polyamide resin dispersions and methods for the manufacture thereof.
Inventor: SMITH GEORGE A
IPC: C08L77/04
Filed: 1992-01-03
Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of polyamide resins having improved stability with respect to gelation and phase separation are provided, along with preparative methods therefor. The improved stability of the provided aqueous dispersions is achieved by the addition to such dispersion of a chemical moiety, such as a water soluble, amphoteric amino acid, anionic and cationic salts of amino acid, or mixtures thereof, in aqueous solutions. In a preferred embodiment, a dispersion-stabilizing amount of glycine is added with the inversion water used to invert an emulsion of water in polyamide resin. The resulting emulsion of resin in water is then cooled below the resin's melting point, causing the emulsified droplets of the polyamide resin to solidify as finely divided particles which are dispersed uniformly through the aqueous phase. The stable, aqueous dispersions of this invention are useful in coatings, inks, and as coatings for hot melt adhesive applications.
