Abstract: Method of casting steel strip in which molten steel solidifies as a shell on a chilled casting surface (100). The casting surface (100) has a texture (101) formed by a regular pattern of surface projections (103) and depressions (102) and the steel chemistry is selected to generate in the casting pool deoxidation products which form on the casting surface (100) a layer of less than 5 microns thickness a major proportion of which is liquid during cooling of the steel to below its liquidus temperature in the formation of said solidified shell. The substantially liquid layer suppresses the formation of surface defects in the solidifying metal surface due to early deposition of solid oxides on the casting surface.

Abstract: Protein isolates having a high protein content and low residual fat content are provided in substantially non-denatured form by extracting an oil seed meal having a significant fat content, particularly canola meal, with an aqueous food grade salt solution to cause solubilization of protein and fat in the oil seed meal and form an aqueous protein solution. Following separation of this solution from the residual oil seed meal, fat is removed from the aqueous protein solution by chilling the aqueous protein solution and removing the fat which separates. The protein concentration of the defatted protein solution is increased while the ionic strength is maintained substantially constant. A further fat removal operation may be carried out on the concentrated protein solution followed by dilution to an ionic strength below about 0.2 to cause the formation of discrete protein particles in the aqueous phase in the form of protein micelles. These protein micelles are settled to form a mass of protein isolate in the form of an amorphous, sticky gelatinous, gluten-like protein micellar mass, which is separated from supernatant and dried to a proteinaceous powder.

Abstract: A method for continuous overall regulation of the headbox/former of a paper or board machine or equivalent. In the method a physical fluid flow model of the drainage and of the flow state of the pulp suspension flow is formed for the headbox (100)/former (100') to be regulated. The model is solved by making use of the data on the geometry of the headbox (100)/former (100') and of the initial and boundary conditions necessary for a solution of the model. The difference between the simulated state, which has been obtained as the solution of said model, and the state adopted as the target is determined as the cost function, wherein the target state is determined by means of the quality requirements of the paper and possibly by means of the costs of operation and the runnability of the paper machine. The cost function is optimized and, thus optimal regulation values and set values (C) are sought for the instrumentation devices and actuators (105) of the headbox (100)/former (100') in view of the given cost function. After the optimization has been carried out in the preceding stage, the headbox (100)/former (100') regulation devices are given new optimal regulation and set values (C).

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp of thermally weldable material for a pipe (10), also of a thermally weldable, material consisting of at least two cyclindrical segments (11, 12). The segments have substantially axially parallel terminal edges (16, 17) and one or more heating mats (20) of coiled, electrically heatable conductors on their inner surfaces facing the pipe. To ensure a perfect weld it is proposed that the heating mat be solidly integrated into the concave inner surface of the segment and that it be given a contour of shreds (24, 26) bordering spaces (25, 29) along the two extreme edges of the segment. The shreds project in places beyond the extreme edges in an extension or shortening of the partial cylindricity of the segment. The gaps between them project beyond the edges at other point. The neighbouring segments in the clamp thus have a mutually complementary contour.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des appareils de nettoyage de canalisations pour oléoducs et gazoducs, dans lesquels un bouclier pourvu d'un dispositif de nettoyage se déplace vers l'avant à travers un courant de liquide dans la canalisation. Ce bouclier forme un ou plusieurs passages destinés au passage d'un courant de liquide au sein de la canalisation afin d'établir une pression souhaitée, et comporte sur sa face arrière un système de freinage, lequel empêche une trop grande vitesse d'avancement grâce au fait qu'au moins un élément de serrage adhère momentanément à la paroi de la canalisation et se déplace relativement au système de freinage. Ce mouvement est transmis cinématiquement à un déplaceur hydraulique générant un courant secondaire de liquide, lequel est freiné par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un point d'étranglement et détermine ainsi la vitesse entre le bouclier et la paroi de la canalisation.
