Abstract: Process for decreasing the viscosity in fermentation processes, this viscosity being due to the production by the microorganisms in the culture of viscosity-enhancing polymers besides the desired product, which consists in introducing into the fermentation media an enzyme or mixture of enzymes which acts on the viscosity-enhancing polymers. 
<??>The enzymatic treatment may be performed during fermentation, at the end of fermentation before separation of the microorganisms, or after their separation before the concentration or during the concentration of the medium by ultrafiltration. 
<??>Use in the production of a milk-coagulating protease by Endothia parasitica.

Title: Multi-article packaging
IPC: B65D5/48
Filed: 1989-02-06
Granted: 1992-01-29
Abstract: A ready-for-sale, portable, multi-article packaging for containers requires only a minimal quantity of packaging material, reveals the packaged contents such as cans and glasses over their entire height, is convenient to handle, and possesses goods inherent stability for the transfer of goods from the manufacturer to the consumer via the retailer. This packaging for a plurality of containers of identical shape and size comprises a cut-out cardboard piece (10, 12, 20) with a flap in each corner which can be folded through 90° and arranged between the walls (13a) of two containers. The surface of the bottom (11, 21) of the cardboard cut-out piece (10, 12, 20) is less than or equal to the surface of the base of the four or six containers (13, 14) and includes the area of the bottom of the containers (13, 14) or at least part thereof. A hoop-casing strip (15) surrounds the multi-article packaging at approximately mid-height of the walls (13a) of the container and binds the cardboard cut-out piece (10, 12, 20) and the containers into a solid multi-article packaging.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a procedure for bleaching cellulose pulp obtained from hardwood, wherein bleaching chemical containing chlorine is used. The essential feature of the invention is that the residual chlorine content of the bleached pulp is reduced by subjecting the pulp to enzyme treatment. With the enzyme especially the removal from the pulp of chlorine-binding extractive substances present in hardwood pulp is promoted. The invention furthermore concerns the use of enzyme towards lowering the residual chlorine content of bleached cellulose pulp made from hardwood. Such cellulose pulp is particularly contemplated which will be converted into foodstuff package cardboard or paper, which are commonly disposed of by burning. Lowered chlorine content reduces the risk of producing toxic dioxin at the incineration step.

Abstract: An automatic food dispenser for dispensing hot ready-to-serve meals, in particular pizza, has a cooling space (8) and at least one oven (31). The deep-frozen ready-to-serve meals are stored in tubular magazines (11) which are arranged inside a rotatable drum store (10) on a circular path. The oven (31) has a horizontally extendable slide frame (32) with a slide front (33) which forms the oven door. On the slide frame (32), a cooking tray (39) is arranged raisably and lowerably in such a manner that, when the oven (31) is opened, it is automatically moved from a lowered cooking position inside the cooking space (41) upwards into a feeding position and, when the slide frame (32) is pulled out fully, further upwards into a dispensing position inside a dispensing space (42) which is accessible to the operator. A ready-to-serve meal selected by the operator is removed in a deep-frozen state from the corresponding tubular magazine (11) by means of a removal device provided on the underside of the cooling space (12) and placed on the cooking tray (39) situated in the feeding position. The slide front (33) subsequently closes, the cooking tray (39) moving automatically back into the cooking space (41) of the oven (31). After expiry of the necessary defrost and cooking time, the hot ready-to-serve meal is conveyed directly from the oven (31) into the dispensing space (42) by means of the movable cooking tray (39). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A line unit, used in a line shelf having a line shelf processor and common logic, is provided with an EEPROM device for storing information relative to the line unit. The stored information includes line unit type identification codes, auto provisioning data, gain and equalization adjustment data and signaling translation tables. The data contained within the EEPROM may be utilized by the line shelf processor to provide automatic initialization and provisioning of the line unit when first inserted into the line shelf, and automatic signaling translation so that line unit signaling becomes compatible with a transmission facility connected to the line shelf. The need for factory preset resistors installed in the line unit may be eliminated by storing within the EEPROM a required gain setting. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shield blocks passage of electromagnetic energy through a seam of indefinite length between conductive elements and is adhesively attached to at least one of the elements. A preferably non-conductive adhesive is disposed on a conductive surface of a seal in a discontinuous pattern along the length of the seam, defining areas of 5-40% adhesive for physically attaching the conductive surface, separated by 60-95% exposed areas for direct electrical contact. The seal can include a compressible body or can be defined by a conductive sheet, for example a fabric provided with a plating or other conductive coating. The areas of adhesive preferably define longitudinally non-overlapping inclined lines extending laterally across the seam. A release liner can removably attach to the adhesive. In a preferred embodiment the conductive surface is the surface of a compressible seal body, such as a conductive sheath on a compressible core. A conductive path extends without interruption along the length of the seam and across the lateral width of the seam at the adhesive lines, providing improved physical attachment and conductivity characteristics for the shielded seam as a whole. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Système informatique permettant de visualiser toutes les pages, ou au moins un grand nombre de pages, d'un document et comprenant des moyens permettant de faire défiler le document afin de le consulter ou de le modifier. La plus grande partie de l'affichage présente le texte sous une forme 'condensée', dans laquelle une ligne de pixels représente une ligne de texte. Bien que la forme condensée soit illisible, elle reproduit la forme du texte dans le document en indiquant la présence ou l'absence de texte. Deux fenêtres de texte lisible se présentent comme si l'on plaçait deux loupes linéaires sur le texte condensé illisible. On peut déplacer une fenêtre vers un nouvel emplacement en effleurant une tablette à numériser avec un stylet (ou en cliquant à l'aide d'une souris) ou en faisant glisser la fenêtre à l'aide du stylet (ou de la souris). Lorsque les deux fenêtres sont adjacentes, elles deviennent verrouillées et peuvent être déplacées comme s'il ne s'agissait que d'une seule grande fenêtre. Les mots présentant une signification spéciale (par exemple les labels intégrés ou les résultats d'une recherche) peuvent être affichés sous la forme d'étiquettes lisibles là où ils apparaissent, dans le texte condensé aussi bien que dans le texte lisible. Le texte condensé se compose de pixels disposés en échiquier, qui produisent une couleur grise faisant ressortir nettement les étiquettes noires. Etant donné que les étiquettes apparaissent dans tout l'affichage à des emplacements correspondant à leurs emplacements dans le document, elles ajoutent des informations utiles au contexte présenté par le mode de visualisation condensé, et permettent à l'utilisateur de s'orienter et de localiser les parties désirées du document visualisé. En outre, les étiquettes permettent à l'utilisateur de déterminer rapidement l'emplacement et la signification des résultats de la recherche.
