Title: Portioning device for portioning pieces of food and for transferring food into aheated cooking area
Inventor: BREITBACH ROLF
IPC: A47J37/12
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: A portioning device for portioning pieces of food and for transferring food into a heated cooking area. The portioning device has an insulated housing to ensure thermal insulation from the cooking area. The insulated housing has at least one closing slider which is located in the bottom of said housing and seals off a transfer opening when in a closed position. A weigher fitted with a funnel is arranged inside the insulated housing and receives pieces of food. The funnel of the weigher consists of two halves that can swing apart. Both halves can swing apart when a given weight of food pieces inside the funnel has been reached, whereby an exit opening that is associated with a transfer opening is formed. When the two halves of the weigher funnel swing apart, a catch element belonging to the closing slider is impinged upon by one of said halves. The closing slider can move into an open position, freeing the transfer opening so that the food can be transferred into the cooking area. The two halves of the weigher funnel swing back together again when the food has been transferred and the closing slider can automatically return to a closed position.

Date Dec. 9, 1993A process for forming a screw thread on a corrugated bar used in concrete reinforcement joints such as anchor bolt joints. The ribs and flank fillets are removed from the end portion of the corrugated bar to be threaded. The end portion is then heated in a controlled manner such that the temperature of the end portion is highest at the end and falls smoothly toward the beginning of the ribless portion of the bar. The bar is immovably locked in place and the end portion is pressed by a movable cylindrical mold. Due to the temperature difference along the end portion, hot upsetting sets in at the end and advances toward the beginning of the ribless portion and the cross-sectional area of the end portion expands to become equal to an inner diameter of the mold. A screw thread is then formed on the end portion of the bar, the cross-sectional area of the screw thread being at least equal to the cross-sectional area of a remainder of the bar and the thread being longer than a diameter of the bar.

Title: Treatment for cardiovascular and related diseases
Inventor: CHAM KARIM ROUAN
IPC: A61M1/34
Filed: 1995-12-22
Abstract: A method for the removal of cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids from animal plasma, serum or other suitable blood fractions, as a discontinuous flow system, the method comprising withdrawing blood from a subject, separating the required fraction from the blood and mixing with a solvent mixture which extracts the lipids from the fraction, after which the delipidated fraction is recombined with the blood cells and returned to the subject, wherein the solvent extraction step is carried out separately and remote from the subject. The delipidated fraction is washed with a second solvent before being recombined with the blood cells. To ensure that the delipidated fraction is free from all extraction solvent, the fraction is mixed with an absorbent specific for the solvent that is being removed. The preferred absorbent is a macroporous polymeric bead contained in the pores of a sintered glass or plastic sphere, the being capable of absorbing organic molecules from an aqueous solution. By treating the plasma, serum or other suitable blood fraction of a patient by these methods, the blood rheology of a patient with impaired blood circulation can be improved. Further, a rapid regression of coronary atherosclerosis occurs.

Title: Membrane cleaning
Inventor: POTTINGER JOHN STEWARDSON
IPC: C25F1/06
Filed: 1985-06-13
Abstract: @ A porous electrically conducting filter, e.g. a membrane for filtration equipment, is cleaned by setting up an electrochemical cell comprising the membrane as a first electrode (usually the cathode), a second electrode, and an electrolyte capable of being electrolysed to a gaseous product at the first electrode. When a potential is applied across the cell, the gaseous product of electrolysis (e.g. in the form of microbubbles) cleans the surfaces of the membrane by forcing foulant material therefrom.The electrolyte is constituted by the liquid being filtered (with the possible addition of a salt to increase electrical conductivity, if necessary) thus enabling filter cleaning to be carried out in situ whilstthe liquid being filtered continues to be passed through the filter.

Title: Novel methods and interferon deficient substrates for the propagation of viruses
Inventor: PALESE PETER
IPC: A61K39/145
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated negative-strand RNA viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also relates to the development and use of IFN-deficient systems for selection of such attenuated viruses. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated influenza viruses having modifications to the NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. The mutant viruses replicate in vivo but demonstrate reduced pathogenicity, and therefore are well suited for live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Title: A method and flow system for spectrometry and a cuvette for the flow system
Inventor: FRANDSEN ANDREAS SKAARLUND
IPC: G01N21/359
Filed: 1997-10-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to an on-line method and a flow system as well as a cuvette for carrying out IR spectrometry for analysis of liquid food products, possibly containing dissolved gases, in a process line in a liquid food product processing plant, especially a dairy processing milk and milk products. A liquid sample is extracted from the process line to a measuring branch, the sample is thermostated and passed to a measurement cuvette. The IR-absorbance spectrum is measured, e.g. in the MID-IR or NIR-range. In order to obtain an on-line monitoring of the process line the liquid food sample is extracted directly from the process line into the measurement branch, in which the pressure is maintaining at least as high as in the adjacent process line. The high pressure ensures that dissolved air will stay dissolved in the liquid food. Before each new sample the measurement branch and cuvette are flushed by high flow rates with a part of the new sample to clean the cuvette. The measurement cuvette has strong windows, preferably diamond windows to stand a high pressure and high flow rates. The on-line system is arranged to carry out eg. 120 measurements per hour.

The transverse element comprises two end parts between which are disposed support beams of the lateral moulding walls. Jacks each fixed on an end bearing part of the structure element are connected via their movable rod to the beam in zones which are distant from the longitudinal ends of the beam. The jacks make it possible to achieve both the displacement of the walls between their opening and closing positions and the clamping of the mould. Restriction of the clamping stresses is provided by the structure element. The bending moment of the beams remains low since the points of application of the stresses on the beams are distant from the ends of these beams and chosen as a function of the clamping conditions of the mould.
