Abstract: An apparatus useful for continuous pan coating of edible 
cores which includes a coating drum arranged for rotation around 
an inclined axis and having an inlet opening at the upper axial end 
of the coating drum for reception of the edible cores, and a 
discharge opening at the lower axial end of the drum, so that the 
force of gravity urges the cores through the drum. The apparatus 
also includes a means for continuously driving the drum, means 
for providing coating material to the cores at a controllable rate, 
and means for delivering drying gas, such as air, to the cores also 
at a controllable rate while the cores are in the drum. The present 
invention has at least one after-treatment drum likewise arranged 
for rotation around an inclined axis and having an inlet opening at 
the upper axial end of the after-treatment drum and a discharge 
opening at the lower axial end, as well as a means for continu­
ously driving the cores from the coating drum to the first after-­
treatment drum. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus also 
includes a second after-treatment drum similar to the first after-­
treatment drum.

Title: Purification and activation of proteins from insoluble inclusion bodies
IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 1986-08-18
Abstract: Purification and solubilization of a protein produced in a transformant microorganism as insoluble, biologically inactive inclusion bodies can be effected by extracting the inclusion bodies into a buffered solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to solubilize the protein; treating the SDS-protein solution with urea; removing the SDS and purifying the protein by chromatography on an anion-exchange column; and dialyzing the solution obtained from the anion-exchange column to remove urea, thereby allowing the protein to fold into its native conformation. The solution thus obtained can be activated by removing soluble protein aggregates by, for examble, ultrafiltration or chromatography on a weak anion-exchange column.

Patent EP-0309065-A3 (EP)
IPC: B60J7/185
Filed: 1988-09-22
Abstract: A latch mechanism (10) for convertible vehicles, detaches 
from the header by a manually-applied, moderate, releasing 
force applied in the downward direction. This detachment is 
further enhanced by a unique mechanical linkage that employs 
cam action between the engaging member and the releasing 
member.  
     The latching mechanism is mounted in the side-rail of 
the foldable top of a convertible vehicle. The latch mechanism 
includes a stationary member (20), a release member (40), and 
an engaging member (60). The stationary member has a pedestal 
(30) and a foot (38) extending from the pedestal. The engaging 
member has a keeper (70) which attaches to the header, and a 
lip (80) opposite the keeper. The release member is rotatably 
mounted to the stationary member and pivotally mounted to the 
engaging member.  
     To detach the latch mechanism from the header, the 
release member is actuated by applying a disengaging force to 
the release member in a downward direction. The release 
member (40) is swingably rotated relative to the stationary 
member (20) as the lip (80) on the engaging member is aligned 
with the foot (38) of the stationary member. The engaging 
member is pivoted relative to the stationary member, resulting 
in a caming action between the lip and the foot, which causes 
the keeper to detach from the header in the extreme 
disengagement position.

the second microinstruction sequences from the external memory to 
the internal memory (102, SPAD 128) and (b) to read the second 
copy of the second microinstruction sequences for the internal 
memory to the writable microcode memory.

Abstract: A modular electric appliance comprises an appliance module 
(202) which carries contacts (220) on its exterior and may 
be inserted within a tubular portion (103) of the handle 
portion (106) of the appliance. Preferably the appliance 
module carries two different appliance portions at its 
opposite ends such as a drill chuck (213) and a socket 
wrench (212). If these appliance portions are rotary 
tools, they may be driven by a common electric motor 
(201). The appliance module is energised from annular 
contacts (208) formed on the interior surface of the 
tubular portion (103). In an alternative embodiment, the 
module (202) may carry three or more contacts (220) so 
disposed that only one pair of these contacts is energised 
according to the orientation of the modular when it is 
inserted into the tubular portion (103). This ensures 
that only the appliance portion protruding from the 
tubular portion (103) is energised.

Title: Optical measurement of wall thickness of transparent articles
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1988-11-22
Abstract: Method and apparatus for accurately measuring 
the wall thickness of transparent containers at high 
speeds using a beam of collimated light such as a 
laser beam. A laser diode (81) and associated op­
tics (83, 85) projects the beam of collimated light 
along a horizontal incident line intersecting the 
outer wall (12) of the container at a measurement 
point. Most of the beam enters the wall and is 
refracted while a small portion is reflected towards 
an external linear sensor array along a "reflectant 
ray" (18). A lens system (60), such as a Fresnel 
lens, is placed in the path of the reflectant beam 
(37) between the outer measurement point and the 
sensor array (70), the long axis of the sensor line­
ar array being defined by the intersection of a 
horizontal measurement plane and an image plane. 
The refracted portion of the beam intersects the 
inner wall at an inner measurement point where a 
small portion of the beam reflects back toward the 
outer wall; most of this reflected portion refracts 
outwardly at the outer wall as a "refractant ray" 
(37), where it passes through the lens (60) and is 
detected by the linear sensor array (70). The sepa­
rations of the reflectant (18) and refractant (37) 
rays detected by the linear sensor array (70) are 
substantially proportional to container wall thick­
ness

extracting the dc component thereof and summing such a dc 
component to a dc control signal generated by a narrow 
band AGC and applying such a sum signal in lieu of the 
sole narrow band AGC system's control signal.
