Abstract: The invention concerns homogeneous at least partial sterilisation or homogeneous complete pasteurisation of a substrate. In a first step of the method, the substrate is loaded via a loading area of a sealed hollow vessel at a first end of the vessel. A fluid for moistening said substrate may be introduced into the vessel, the vessel being further provided with means for at least partly sterilising or pasteurising the moistened substrate. In a second step, the substrate is passed through a bounded zone of transport towards the front of the machine until it reaches the other end of thereof. In a third step, the substrate is passed through a zone of transport towards the rear of the vessel so as to return the substrate to the first end, the zones of transport towards the front and towards the rear being separated from each other by a tubular partition. During the return transport the substrate may be subjected to tumbling. The second and third steps are repeated as many times as necessary to obtain homogeneous and at least partial sterilisation or homogeneous and complete pasteurisation of said substrate. A machine is also described for carrying out the method. Application to sterilising or pasteurising organic substrate such as growth media for plants or mushrooms.

Abstract: An optical body includes a substrate and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer disposed on the substrate. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer has a non-uniform pitch along a thickness direction of the layer and comprises a crosslinked polymer material that substantially fixes the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. The crosslinking hinders diffusion of cholesteric liquid crystal material within the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. In other methods of making an optical body, a reservoir of chiral material is provided during the process over a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer to diffuse into the layer and provide a non-uniform pitch. Alternatively, two coating compositions can be disposed on a substrate where the material of the first coating composition is not substantially soluble in the second coating composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing strength and/or reducing strength variations in multi-layer wood, plywood, and the like sandwich material. The method comprises measuring wood veneers (10) for dry substance density ( rho ) with high-frequency electromagnetic resonance (TEM) and additionally analyzing the homogeneity and/or grain structure of wood veneers from a wood veneer surface in the way of its darkness (R). If the wood veneer comprises a number of local first regions, which are darker than a predominant darkness of the veneer surface, the wood veneer in question has its calculated dry substance density ( rho C) established to be lower than its initially measured value (  rho M ). On the other hand, if the wood veneer has a substantially uniform darkness, the wood veneer in question has the longitudinal and lateral distribution of its dry substance density evaluated and, if those are substantially uniform, the calculated dry substance density ( rho C) of the wood veneer in question is established for a sorting process to be higher than its initially measured value ( rho M). Wood veneers are sorted on the basis of said calculated dry densities for at least two different density categories. In a first density category (A), the dry substance density is higher than in a second density category (B). Wood veneers are laid on top of each other for multi-layer wood, plywood, or some other sandwich material (20), the veneers included in the first density category serving as surface veneers (13) and the veneers included in the second density category serving as middle veneers (14). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
