Abstract: The procedure according to the invention for filling a syringe, and more particularly a syringe for medical purposes, with a substance, which once filled into the syringe undergoes a volume-reducing step in the process, and more particularly alyophilization. To achieve this a dose dispenser which is open to the syringe barrel and which is sealed against it is first placed at the end of the syringe barrel which is to be filled. Next the substance is introduced into the dose dispenser as well as the syringe barrel and the substance filling the syringe barrel and the dose dispenser is submitted to the volume-reducing process. Then the dose dispenser is removed from the syringe barrel and the syringe barrel is sealed or else conveyed along to further steps in the process.

Title: A system for converting a routing address within a telecommunications network
Inventor: LINDQUIST JAN E
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1997-05-22
Abstract: A point code and subsystem number (PC/SSN) representing a first application layer node within a first Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) network is not defined within a second SS7 network. While transmitting a first signal from the first node to a second node within the second SS7 network, the PC/SSN representing the first node is utilized as the calling party address (Cgpa). A converter signal transfer point (STP) interfacing the first SS7 network with the second SS7 network intercepts the transmitted signal, converts the specified PC/SSN to a corresponding global title number. The first signal containing the converted Cgpa is then forwarded to the second node. Whenever the second node within the second SS7 network transmits a return signal back to the first node, the converted Cgpa is then used as the called party address (Cdpa). The converter STP once again intercepts the return address and converts the intercepted global title number back to the original PC/SSN value. The return signal with the converted Cdpa is then routed back to the first node.

Title: Apparatus, tool and method for mechanical removal of a spinal column part from a part carcass
Inventor: POST ERLING
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for mechanical removal of a spinal column part from a part carcass (12), such as a fore-end of a pig carcass, comprising tools for separating the spinal column part from the part carcass by cuts along the spinal column part, and conveyor and guide arrangements for providing a relative movement between the tools and the part carcass during cutting. A first cutting tool (18, 49) is used for mechanically separating the meat on the part carcass from the spinous processes and the dorsal side of the spinal column. The tool has a tapering knife blade (19, 50) with a cutting edge (22) along a first edge and a knife part (20, 51) along a second edge of the tapering blade (19, 50). The knife part (20, 51) is mounted mainly at right-angles to the blade and has a cutting edge along the edge closest to the tip of the tapering blade (19, 50). A second cutting tool (28, 55) is used for mechanically separating the meat on the part carcass from the lateral side of the spinal column and may also cut off the ribs from the spinal column. The tool has a cutting blade (29, 56) lying mainly in parallel with the tapering blade (19, 50) of the first tool and is positioned on the same side of the blade (19, 50) as the knife part (20, 51). The two tools perform cuts which go close to the spinal column bone and can be guided so as not to leave more bone remnants in the meat than is known from manual boning of fore--ends. After removal of the spinal column part, the meat can be further processed in cutting rooms into usual meat cuts, skin, bone parts etc.

Title: Continuous on-demand manufacture of process cheese
Inventor: HYDE MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: A23C19/06
Filed: 1999-10-27
Abstract: A two stage, on-demand, commercially-viable method for producing process cheese or process cheese-type products by the direct conversion of milk is provided. This method does not require fermentation, enzymatic treatment, and/or intermediate steps of forming and separating curds and whey. In the first stage, a powdered milk protein concentrate is form by ultrafiltering liquid milk, preferably skim milk, and then spray drying the concentrated ultrafiltered milk. The powdered milk protein concentrate, which is storage-stable, may be converted to process cheese or process cheese-type product immediately or may be stored for later conversion. The powdered milk protein concentrate can be used to produce fat-free, reduced-or low-fat, and/or full-fat cheeses having similar organoleptic properties to cheeses prepared from conventional curds and whey processes. The present two stage process is especially adapted for semi-continuous or continuous manufacture of process cheese-type products. The present two stage process is especially adapted for on-demand manufacture of process cheese or process cheese-type product since the milk protein concentrate can be stored for later conversion to cheese product. By converting the milk to a storage-stable milk protein concentrate, the manufacturing of cheese products is uncoupled from, and is independent of, the milk supply.
Patent CA-2287708-A1 (CA)
Title: Continuous manufacture of process cheese
Inventor: MORAN JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: A23C19/082
Filed: 1999-10-26
Abstract: A method for producing a cheese product directly from milk in a short period of time is provided. In the method, pasteurized milk is treated with lactic acid to provide an acidified milk product. The resulting acidified milk is then subjected to ultrafiltration (UF), and optionally diafiltration (DF), to form a UF retentate (or UF/DF retentate if diafiltration is used) which is concentrated by about a factor of about 4 to about 7 and which has a lactose concentration of about 2.5 to about 4.0 percent (UF retentate) or about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent (UF/DF retentate). After adding lactic acid and salt, the OF or UF/DF retentate is subject to an evaporation step to form a precheese. The resulting precheese has a total solid content of about 30 to about 70 percent. The precheese, with added flavorants and other additives (including, for example, emulsifying salts) is then subject to conventional cheese processing conditions in, for example, a laydown cooker. The resulting process cheese or process cheese-type product is ready for immediate packaging and does not require a separate curing step. The process cheese or process cheese-type product is similar in flavor and texture characteristics to conventional process cheeses.

Title: Multiple-sail wind energy concentrator
Inventor: COUTURE MARC JOSEPH
IPC: F03D1/04
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: The proposed apparatus is a means for concentrating wind energy in view of generating electricity, with such a means being capable of converting winds of moderate speed. The apparatus is meant for wind farm applications, where relatively large installations are set up in fields, on hills or on ridges. The proposed apparatus features multiple funnel-shaped sails that concentrate natural wind into airstreams whose velocities are of a higher order of magnitude. These individual airstreams are collected through a conduit that feeds a single, relatively massive, high-velocity airstream into a turbine and through a box-shaped, sound-insulated terminus. Thus, the proposed apparatus is a means for having a series of wind capturing devices produce one large high-speed flow of air suitable for power generation.
