Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the isolation of total milk protein or whey protein content of milk, in a concentrated and functional form. The protein product is suitable for use in food formulations and dietetic products, where it performs as well as sodium caseinate, but with the added benefit of having more bland flavour characteristics. The product has enhanced nutritional properties and better flavour characteristics when compared to sodium caseinate. The process involves the acidification of skimmed milk or whey to a pH below the isoelectric point, followed by heating to at least 50  DEG C at the acidic pH.

Abstract: A non-invasive physiologic signs monitoring device includes a garment with electrocardiogram electrodes and various inductive plethysmographic sensors sewn, embroidered, embedded, or otherwise attached to the garment with an adhesive. The garment is in the form of a shirt. When the garment is fitted over the torso of the patient to be monitored, the electrodes and sensors generate signals in response to the physiologic signs of the patient. The signals are transmitted to a recording/alarm device where they are monitored for adverse conditions and logged. When an adverse condition or other preprogrammed condition occurs, a message is communicated to the patient by either an audio message or a display. The recording/alarm unit is also connectable to a remote receiving unit for monitoring by a health care professional or other machine.

Abstract: An apparatus for comminuting glass is disclosed having a housing. Within the housing are a plurality of weighted members or hammers, flexibly connected to and spaced about a rotatable shaft. A drive member rotates the shaft, causing the hammers to rotate about the shaft and define a rotation circumference. A glass intake opening located at the top portion of the housing is provided to introduce glass into the apparatus. A first adjustable plate is located adjacent the glass intake opening and positioned to provide a space between the first adjustable plate and the hammers' rotation circumference. A first glass suspension chamber is defined by the glass intake opening, the first adjustable plate, and the rotation circumference of the hammers. In operation, the shaft is rotated, causing the weighted members to spin about the shaft. A quantity of glass is introduced into the apparatus, and the weighted members contact the glass, causing the glass to strike the first adjustable plate. Adjusting the space between the first adjustable plate the weighted members' rotation circumference helps control the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass. Controlling the shaft rotation speed also affects the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass.

Abstract: The calender roller, with a core and an elastic cladding over its working width, has an internal heat compensation system to ensure that the roller temperature at the axial ends is almost equal to the temperature at the axial center of the roller. A thermal insulation (8) is outside the working width (4) of the roller. The thermal insulation (6) covers a section at the periphery (7) of the roller and also a part of the end side (8). The insulation (6) projects from the roller cladding (3), with an increased thickness outside the working width which is thicker than the maximum cladding (3) thickness within the working width. The thermal conductivity of the insulation (6) is less than the thermal conductivity of the roller cladding (3) by at least a factor of 5. The roller has a journal heating, using heat from an axially inner zone (4) of the roller assembly. The roller is tubular, with a closed hollow zone (15) which holds a fluid (16) which can be vaporized. The end sides of the hollow zone (15) each have a roller journal (11), with a heat exchange surface at the inner sides. The heat exchange surface has a larger surface area than the cross-section of the hollow zone (15), on a plane at right angles to the rotary axis (18). The roller has a heat conductor, with inlays of a good conductive material. An external pump recirculates the heat carrier fluid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus allowing for the monitoring and control of electrical appliance or utilities. This is achieved by using a master webserver that can communicate with remote slave nodes using a protocol for control and automation over networks of different media including wire, radio, microwave and powerlines. This Virtual Internet Link (VIL) responds to requests from the server and remotes to replicate information as though the remote node is connected to the Internet. The virtual link is used for remote information reading as well as home automation and security reflected in the master server. Remote nodes act on the Internet database information through a master/slave/exception protocol supporting automation, metering, security, e-cash transfers and Internet back-channel requests.

Abstract: A phosphorescent or light-reflective member is disposed on a holder supporting an elongated light-gathering optical fiber formed of a light-gathering fluorescent plastic material. The sight is adaptable for use on rifles, handguns, bows, and other weapons requiring an aiming indicia. The light-gathering fluorescent optical provides a brilliant dot that is readily identifiable under bright light conditions, and the phosphorescent or light-reflecting member provides a supplemental light source which serves to provide an illuminated dot under low-light or dark conditions. The sight 10 effectively solves the problem of providing electrically-powered light sources for illumination of the aiming indicia under low light or dark conditions, or the requirement to precisely align the fiber or hollow tube with a light source disposed at the distal end of the fiber or tube spaced from the viewing end of the fiber or tube.

Abstract: In methods for screening treatments for, and treatment of, neurodegenerative diseases, aggregation in neurons of NACP/alpha-synuclein is measured and expression of a non-amyloidogenic protein is stimulated in order to reduce the level aggregration. For purposes of screening agents for treatment of neurodegenerative disease, oxidative stress in the neuronal cells is stimulated by introducing a mixture of metal-ions and hydrogen peroxide. Examples of appropriate metals include iron, aluminum, and copper. After introduction of the agent under evaluation for stimulation of expression of non-amyloidogenic protein, the effectiveness is measured by testing for a decrease in the level of aggregation of NACP/alpha-synuclein. In an exemplary embodiment, the non-amyloidogenic protein is beta-synuclein. The aggregation of NACP/alpha-synuclein is dependent upon the concentration of metal ions in the neuronal cells. In addition, the presence of chelating agents appears to modulate the build-up of NACP/alpha-synuclein aggregates which are responsible for synaptic and neuronal dysfunction.
