Title: Method for the leaching of solid matter from sludge
Inventor: TAKALA HEIKKI
IPC: B01F23/00
Filed: 2000-08-10
Granted: 2004-11-11
Abstract: Leaching of solid matter from a sludge uses a tubular reactor which is equipped with a concentric central pipe and a double-action mixer. The mixer is located in the vicinity of the central pipe's lower edge. Leaching solid matter from a sludge with the aid of an oxygen-containing gas uses a tubular reactor. The reactor is equipped with a concentric central pipe (2), and a double-action mixer (5) in the vicinity of central pipe's lower edge (7). With the aid of the mixer, the sludge flows downward in the central pipe, and then turns upward outside the central pipe as the gas is fed at the same time into the sludge and dispersed into small bubbles. The mixer preferably has nearly rectangular straight lower blades which facilitate the dispersion of the gas and the turning of the discharge sludge into the upward flow. It has curved upper blades which facilitate the downward flow of the sludge in the central pipe. It is preferred that the cross-section area remaining between the mixer and the central pipe is adjusted to be less than half (preferably at most one third) of the flow cross-section area in the central pipe and the lower edge of the central pipe is at a height (measured form the reactor bottom) of 0.7-1.3 times that of the reactor diameter, preferably the same as the diameter. The cross-section ratio of the central pipe and its surrounding reactor casing is preferably below 0.1.

Title: Reduced calorie potato chips and other low moisture fat-containing foods having less waxiness and improved flavor display
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 1991-04-08
Granted: 1993-08-12
Abstract: Reduced calorie potato chips, and other low moisture fat-containing foods having less waxiness and improved flavor display are dislosed. These benefits are typically obtained by applying to the surface of the potato chip, or other food, fat compositions having certain thixotropic areas that correlate to reduced waxiness impressions. These fat compositions comprise a nondigestible fat component, and optionally a digestible triglyceride fat or oil. The nondigestible fat component comprises a nondigestible oil and preferably low levels of certain solid polyol fatty acid polyesters having ester groups comprising combinations of unsaturated (C12 or higher) and/or short chain (C2-C12) saturated fatty acid radicals and long chain (C20 or higher) saturated fatty acid radicals.

Title: Wound drain catheter
Inventor: BLAKE LARRY WEBSTER
IPC: A61M27/00
Filed: 1982-02-22
Granted: 1987-02-12
Abstract: The wound drain catheter of the present invention is comprised of a drain portion connected to an outflow tube portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for providing unique templates for DNA sequencing and to a kit, which can be used, when employing the selection method of this invention. The examined DNA is subjected to a DNA transposition reaction and to an amplification reaction. The amplification reaction is carried out in the presence of a fixed primer and a selective primer having a complementary sequence to the end of a transposon DNA. A transposition reaction can be carried out also in the presence of a transposon or transposons, which have different ends enabling the design of selective primers for both ends. Each size of the amplification products represents one template for a sequencing reaction.
