Abstract: A B S T R A C T     An improved degerminating process wherein the grain kernels are crushed from the thin edges toward the center while avoiding crushing of the relatively flat side surfaces.  The crushing force fractures the endosperm under and around the germ and squeezes the germ away from the endosperm in a whole condition.  A machine for carrying out the degermination includes relatively rotating discs having corrugations in their facing surfaces in which the kernels are caught and crushed from the thin edges toward the center.  An alternative degerminator machine includes a single rotating disc having curved guide vanes on its upper surface for guiding the kernels as they are propelled outwardly by centrifugal force.  The vanes orient each kernel with its top or bottom edge in position to impinge upon flat impact surfaces which results in a crushing force applied from the thin edge toward the center of the kernel.  Milling processes employing the improved method of degermination utilize, at the front end of the mill, rollers with fine corrugations which are normally used only at the end of a long succession of rollers in a conventional differential milling operation.  The rollers are adjusted to minimize penetration of the germ to thereby maintain it in a whole condition and produce high quality fines that remain in the prime product streams.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         An ultrasonic transducer is provided substantially at the hot spot in an engine manifold for vaporizing the fuel from the carburetor prior to entry of the fuel-air mixture into the cylinders.  The transducer comprises a crystal adapted to be vibrated at a high frequency on the order of at least 1,000,000 Hz and a resonator tuned to the frequency of the crystal and operatively secured to the crystal, said transducer having an active surface adapted to be contacted by the fuel for finely vaporizing same.  The fine vaporization or gasification of the fuel (gasoline, for example) prior to entry into the cylinders causes a more complete burning of the fuel.  As a result, the engine delivers more power with less fuel, while carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions are reduced.  In operation, the ultrasonic transducer enhances cold weather startup and operation, eliminates engine flooding, smooths out engine idle, and improves pick up and acceleration by increasing power at low engine RPM.  Engine power is boosted, while saving gasoline.  The ultrasonic transducer can be installed into the intake manifold below the carburetor without modifying the struc-ture of the carburetor or the intake manifold.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:     A laser-induced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) electric generator, in which the working gas medium is the gas of a gas laser.  The coherent light generated by this gas laser is used for ionizing the gas medium circulated in closed cycle by a compressor through the magnetic gap of the generator, to produce electricity. This MHD generator can be combined with a fuel engine to convert the thermal energy of fuel and/or the thermal energy stored in air into electrical ener-gy by magnetohydrodynamic action. The fuel engine may com-prise a combustion chamber in which fuel is burnt with air, an heat-exchanger in which the thermal energy from the burner is transferred in part to the gas medium of the closed cycle, and at least one heat engine, preferably a turbine, in which the remaining part of the thermal ener-gy from the burner is used to run the compressor used in the closed cycle to circulate the gas medium through the ma-gnetohydrodynamic generator.  The so obtained hybrid engine is particularly interesting because of its high thermody-namic efficiency and its high energy conversion rate.
