Patent CA-2582660-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONES GERALD S JR
IPC: C12P7/64
Filed: 2005-10-17
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel approach for the preparation of fatty alcohol esters of .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acids. In one form of the invention, the target fatty alcohol ester of .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acid is produced by converting a lower alkyl ester of .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acid into a fatty alcohol ester of .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acid via alcoholysis (i.e., transesterification). The transesterification process is an equilibrium reaction, catalyzed chemically (i.e., with acids or bases) or enzymatically, that is shifted in the desired direction to produce the desired product. One preferred way of shifting the reaction in the direction of the desired product is by reducing the concentration of one of the products (e.g., distillation of a lower-boiling alcohol as soon as it is formed). Another preferred way of shifting the reaction in the direction of the desired product is by increasing the concentration of one of the reactants (e.g., adding more of the starting ester).

Title: Frequency modulation method and device for high intensity discharge lamp
Inventor: MEUHLSCHLEGEL JOACHIM
IPC: H05B37/00
Filed: 2005-09-20
Abstract: An electronic control gear for a HID lamp receives an input signal for operating the lamp and frequency modulates the input signal to generate a frequency modulated output signal that drives an arc of the lamp. The frequency modulation of the output signal sweeps continuously between a low frequency modulation and a high frequency modulation, the low frequency modulation being a frequency f1 in a range of 125kHz to 150kHz and the high frequency modulation being a frequency f2 in a range of 230kHz to 300kHz, where f2 - f1 is at least 0.4 * f1. A power amplifier changes an amplitude of the frequency modulated output signal during the low frequency modulations so that a current amplitude of the frequency modulated output signal is substantially constant, and a variable gain transformer adjusts a voltage of the frequency modulated output signal during starting of the lamp.

IPC: A23L2/38
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: Lactic acid bacteria are screened by the surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy with the use of human intestinal tract mucin and blood type antigens as probes. To fit to the large-scaled screening, attempts are made to specify selection standards in the screening of lactic acid bacteria. Thus, it is found out that lactic acid bacteria fitting to ABO blood types can be screened by using 100RU as a standard for judging the binding of the bacteria under certain conditions. 238 strains of lactic acid bacteria are subjected to this screening. Further, a test for judging the suitability for yogurt production is performed. As a result, strains fitting to the blood types A and O are found out in practice.
