Patent CA-2088937-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WU CHIU H
IPC: A23L2/52
Filed: 1993-02-08
Abstract: This invention pertains to a novel process for preserving the quality attributes and ascorbic acid content of fresh fruit juices and fruit juice blends. The process involves sanitizing the outer surface of a fruit, extract-ing the juice from the edible portion of the fruit, gasify-ing the juice with an oxygen-containing, carbon dioxide-containing gas mixture, filling a high gas-barrier con-tainer with the juice; hermetically sealing the container and rapidly cooling the juice in the container. Alterna-tively, the extracted juice may be filled into the high gas barrier container and then gasified prior to hermetically sealing the container.

IPC: H04N1/393
Filed: 1994-02-11
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a light source, generally a laser diode,  providing a beam that is modulated by an input signal and is controlled for scanning,  at a rate fixed by a clock, along a generatrix line of a photosensitive drum which is rotated by a motor: it further includes a  memory for storing input data representing successive pixels of all  lines in a page which were scanned  for transmission, and a computer for determining the length to be reproduced of the transmitted document, and for determining the width, necessary to avoid truncating the information contained in any of the scan lines, in the width direction.  The computer calculates the minimum vertical reduction ratio Rv and the minimum horizontal reduction ratio Rh that should be adopted in order to enable the useful information to be reproduced in length and width and selects the smaller ratios. The frequency of the clock and the motor of the drum are controlled to achieve the smaller reduction ratio both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.

Filed: 1993-07-08
Abstract: A B S T R A C T      A gene to be integrated is bound to pAM.beta.1 plasmid to construct an integration plasmid, which is conjugally transferred into chromosomal DNA of a strain of Lactobacillus delbrueckii species.  Integration of only the objective gene occurs through homologous recombination events (double crossing-over).  According to this method, an arbitrary gene can be integrated into chromosomal DNA of a strain of Lactobacillus delbrueckii species and the DNA sequence derived from the vector, pAM.beta.1, can be completely removed.  Therefore, the obtained gene integrant is widely applicable to the production of foods, medicines, feeds and the like.

Title: Feeding device for gas swept sized reduction machines
Inventor: PALLMANN WILHELM
IPC: B02C18/22
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: A feeding device is disclosed for feeding cellulose material, such as wood chips to gas swept size reduction machines, and wherein the elimination of foreign particles from the material to be crushed is mainly achieved by pneumatic screening. The device includes a screening passage into which widely spread input material trickles slowly over a slide, having an angle of inclination .beta. is slightly greater than a friction-angle whose value is determined from its surface roughness. The screening passage is impacted by an air current generated by a cross current fan and which is directed, along a channel, roughly tangentially onto a guiding wall. The guiding wall is arranged at an angle of inclination ~, selected so that the guiding wall functions as a pneumatic sorting table, and where it forms with the channel a discharge slit for the foreign particles. The lateral spread of the input material is accomplished in the upper area of the feeding device by cascading surfaces which are arranged at an angle of inclination .alpha., and which are covered with fine mesh screens to eliminate foreign particles of such a fine grain that they may not be effectively pneumatically screened.
