Abstract: The present invention relates to a blade ring saw assembly in which the blade is a narrow, flat-sided metal ring having a radial width at least twice, and preferably four to six times, its thickness and has a diamond abrasive coating covering its outer peripheral edge and a portion of each sidewall of the ring. The blade ring is supported on a base from beneath the working surface, and projects upwardly to expose more than one-half of the blade ring for cutting of hard and thick workpieces, such as tile and stone, including both curved cutting and straight cutting. The blade ring is supported beneath the work surface by a plurality of roller guides above its radially inner edge and an endless drive belt having a run that extends beneath the blade ring so as to both support and drive the blade ring. Side-motion inhibiting roller guides are positioned immediately beneath the primary cutting area, to restrict lateral displacement of the blade ring during cutting, and similar roller guides optionally are provided on a stabilizer arm over the blade ring, also having a wiper serving to block coolant carried by the blade ring from a reservoir in the base.</PTEXT>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for converting liquid products for the cheese making or casein producing industry into substantially free-flowing powdery products, by subjecting the liquid product to heating to a temperature above the crystallisation temperature of any component in the liquid product in a heat exchanger, flash separating volatile components from said heated liquid product to obtain a past concentrate, pre-cooling a fraction of said past concentrate, and drying said combination product. By the pre-cooling it is possible to create lactose crystals by an extremely rapid in-line pre-cooling without any significant increase in viscosity (which would lead to an un-pumpable paste). It is assumed that only a fraction of the paste gets into contact with the walls of the cooler causing a rapid formation of a high number of seed crystals. Further, it is assumed that the seed promote the formation of lactose crystals during the subsequent drying process.

Title: Pulse oximeter
Inventor: RANTALA BOERJE
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2001-05-03
Granted: 2006-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to pulse oximeters used to measure blood oxygenation. The current trend towards lower power consumption has brought a problem of erroneous readings caused by crosstalk, i.e. errors due to the coupling of undesired capacitive, inductive, or conductive (resistive) pulse power from the emitting side of the pulse oximeter directly to the detecting side of the oximeter. The pulse oximeter of the invention is therefore provided with means for detecting whether crosstalk is present and whether it will cause erroneous results in the oxygenation measurements. The pulse oximeter is preferably further provided with means for eliminating crosstalk which are adapted to control the measurement so that measurement signals can be obtained which are substantially void of crosstalk components. <IMAGE>
