Title: Methods of ensiling algae, ensiled algae and uses of ensiled algae
Filed: 2011-09-30
Abstract: Methods of ensiling macroalgae, ensiled macroalgae and uses thereof are disclosed. One method involves determining whether a macroalgae species supports an epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB)population sufficient to support a fermentation process under anoxic conditions that will lower the pH of the macroalgae effectively enough to ensile the macroalgae species. If it does so support such an epiphytic population of LAB, the method comprises storing harvested macroalgae of that species under conditions that are or will become anoxic to ensile the harvested macroalgae. Optionally, the method includes treating the harvested macroalgae prior to storage with an additive of an inoculant comprising at least one species of LAB capable of contributing to lowering the pH of the macroalgae under the storage conditions used and/or an additive of one or more enzymes capable of releasing soluble sugars from complex carbohydrates. Alternatively, the method involves treating harvested macroalgae with an additive capable of lowering the pH of the macroalgae effectively enough to ensile the harvested macroalgae under anoxic conditions and storing the treated macroalgae under conditions that are or will become anoxic to ensile the harvested macroalgae. In this instance, the additive may be an inoculant of at least one species of LAB capable of contributing to lowering the pH of the macroalgae under the storage conditions used, optionally in combination with an additive of one or more enzymes capable of releasing soluble sugars from complex carbohydrates,or the additive may be an acid or acid salt for effecting a substantially immediate pH reduction in the harvested material. Angiosperm plant material may be mixed with the harvested macroalgae as an additive when rich with epiphytic populations of LAB or as a co-silage component. Ensiled macroalgae and uses thereof as feedstock for human or livestock consumption or bioprocesses or as a soil conditioner or fertiliser or are also described.

Title: Forward progress mechanism for stores in the presence of load contention in a system favoring loads by state alteration
IPC: G06F12/0831
Filed: 2013-01-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a cache coherency protocol for multiprocessor data processing systems 104. The systems have a set of cache memories 230. A cache memory issues a read-type operation for a target cache line. While waiting for receipt of the target cache line, the cache memory monitors to detect a competing store-type operation for the target cache line. In response to receiving the target cache line, the cache memory installs the target cache line in the cache memory, and sets a coherency state of the target cache line installed in the cache memory based on whether the competing store-type operation is detected. The coherence state may be a first state indicating that the target cache line can source copies of the target cache line to requestors. In response to issuing the read-type operation, the cache memory receiving a coherence message indicating the state, wherein setting the coherence state for the target cache line comprises the cache memory setting the coherence state to the first state indicated by the coherence message if the competing store-type operation is not detected.

Title: Method and device for spraying concrete
Inventor: EGGER HANS-RUEDI
IPC: B65G53/32
Filed: 1979-09-07
Granted: 1982-06-09
Abstract: To reduce the impact velocity of the concrete mass upon a surface, such as a wall, a branch line is arranged at the concrete conveying hose and at a point removed from the spraying nozzle. The branch line is intended to carry compressed air and opens into the surroundings. This branch line has a valve for regulating the quantity of compressed air which is to be withdrawn. By means of the branch or withdrawal line there is appreciably reduced the rebound of the concrete mass at the wall. The concrete mixture is initially pre-moistened to a constant moisture content before it arrives along the spraying or injection path and at the spraying or injection nozzle there is added thereto a constant residual water quantity. This method affords a continuously constant water content and renders possible reduced pressure of the conveying air since the concrete mixture is only pre-moistened at the conveying path.

Title: A device for reducing piston velocity in a cylinder
Inventor: TORDENMALM LARS OSTEN
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1980-06-12
Granted: 1984-04-12
Abstract: To reduce the piston velocity in a cylinder as the piston approaches the end positions, a signal transmitter is provided for sensing the position of a part driven by means of the piston and cylinder assembly, and thus of the piston in the cylinder. The signal of the signal transmitter is applied to a control unit in which it is compared with a signal from an actuator means. The signal from the actuator means controls the extension and shortening of the piston and cylinder assembly and the velocity at which this occurs, and may be positive or negative. The comparison of signals is so exploited that if it is established by this comparison that the piston is not in the areas of the end positions or, alternatively is in these areas but is activated by the actuator means to move away therefrom, the signal from the actuator means is not acted upon, whereas if the piston is in these areas and approaches the end positions, the hydraulic fluid supply to the piston and cylinder assembly is continuously reduced.
