Abstract: Chilled or shelf stable beverage products which are physically stable, visually opaque and do not precipitate over time are disclosed. These products contain from about 5 to about 99.8 % milk, from about 0.05 to about 0.8 % of a food stabilizer and a food acid. The first step of the process involves mixing milk with a food stabilizer under high shear mixing conditions to form protein/stabilizer particles having a median particle size of less than about 0.8 microns. Then, while still maintaining the particle size of the protein/stabilizer particles at less than about 0.8 microns, the protein/stabilizer mixture is acidified to a pH ranging from about 3.2 to about 4.5. In order to maintain the requisite particle size of the protein/stabilizer particles during the acidification step, the protein/stabilizer mixture is maintained under high shear mixing conditions at a temperature ranging from about 4 to about 30 °C.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heat engine (10) which operates on the Stirling principle, with a working gas circulation (12) in which the working gas as a drive agent is strongly heated in a first heat exchanger to make it capable of doing work, and with a heat-carrying circuit (14) with a second heat exchanger in which spent working gas is cooled. The first and second heat exchangers are designed as zeolite heat accumulators (16, 18), working gas from a working gas expansion machine (11) being alternately supplied to and drawn from the latter by a switch control (67); the zeolite heat accumulator (16, 18) can be brought into heat-exchanging connection with the heat carrying circuit (14) by the switch control (67). The heat engine (10) operates with a considerably better thermal energy balance that conventional Stirling engines since it is hardly affected by thermal wastage. When working gas is adsorbed in one zeolite heat accumulator, heat is transferred to the heat carrier; when working gas is de-sorbed from the zeolite of the other heat accumulator, the heat transferred to the heat carrier is re-used. The heat engine (10) can be used advantageously in a block heating power plant.

Title: POST-TRANSLATIONAL ACTIVATION OF TGF-$g(b) 1? INVOLVING THE TSP-1 RECEPTOR CD36
Inventor: KHALIL NASREEN
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 1996-05-17
Abstract: A protein called transforming growth factor-beta (TGF- beta ) is important in causing the inflammation and progressive scar tissue in pulmonary fibrosis. The TGF- beta 1 isoform is important in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. It is usually secreted non-covalently bound to a latency associated peptide (LAP) which renders it biologically inactive. The inactive form is called latent TGF- beta 1 (L-TGF- beta 1). Activation of L-TGF- beta 1 involves L-TGF- beta 1/TSP-1 complex which interacts with the TSP-1 receptor, CD36, to process L-TGF- beta 1 to the mature form in the presence of plasmin. Synthetic or natural CD36 peptides or fragments thereof can be used to prevent activation of TGF- beta 1, in mammalian alveolar macrophages, thereby controlling the inflammation process.

Abstract: Dans un réseau de télécommunications, une pluralité d'abonnés appelants (CLI#1, CLI#2, CLI#3), qui effectuent des appels en direction d'un fournisseur de services (180), produisent des enregistrements d'appel qui sont stockés dans une base de données (145) qui fait partie de la fonction de facturation (140) du réseau. Les enregistrements d'appels à destination du fournisseur de services (180) sont interclassés et transmis au fournisseur de services en vue de leur traitement. Le fournisseur de services dispose d'un système d'analyse des enregistrements d'appels qui lui permet d'établir le nombre d'appelants perdus, plutôt que le nombre d'appels perdus. Ceci est possible du fait que les enregistrements d'appel incluent des informations relatives à l'identité des lignes appelantes (CLI) associées aux abonnés appelants. Ces informations, recueillies au cours d'un laps de temps préétabli, permettent au fournisseur de services (180) d'estimer le nombre de stations jouant le rôle de répondeurs (170) qui sont nécessaires à l'optimisation des réponses et à la minimisation du nombre des appelants perdus.
