Title: Process for the recovery of alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin from a whey protein product
Inventor: WIT JACOBUS NICOLAAS DE
IPC: A23L1/305
Filed: 1993-12-23
Granted: 1995-12-07
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the recovery of  alpha -lactalbumin and/or  beta -lactoglobulin enriched whey protein concentrate from a whey protein product. The process comprises the following steps:   a) incubating a solution comprising said whey protein product with a calcium-binding ionic exchange resin in its acid form to initiate the instabilization of  alpha -lactalbumin, b) adjusting the pH of the treated protein product solution to a value between 4.3 and 4.8, after separation of said resin, c) incubating said protein product solution at a temperature between 10 and 50 DEG C to promote the flocculation of  alpha -lactalbumin, d) fractionating the proteins in said protein product solution at pH 4.3-4.8, providing an  alpha -lactalbumin enriched fraction and a beta -lactoglobulin enriched fraction, e) raising the pH of the  alpha -lactalbumin enriched fraction sufficiently to solubilize the  alpha -lactalbumin fraction, and f) optionally raising the pH of the  beta -lactoglobulin enriched fraction sufficiently to neutralize the  beta -lactoglobulin fraction.

Title: Ocular biometer
Inventor: HORWITZ LARRY S
IPC: A61B3/107
Filed: 1999-07-27
Granted: 2004-07-01
Abstract: An ocular biometer utilizing a light emitting source (7) and corresponding optics to illuminate areas of the eye in order to analyze the wavefront of t he reflected light. Aperture sharing elements, such as "hot mirrors" (4) are us ed to allow the eyes (1) to view the world, as the ocular biometer measures various characteristics of the eye such as the refractive (i.e., accommodative) state, the gaze angle and the pupil diameter at any instant o f time and continuously. Optical wavefront conditioning and wavefront sensing techniques are used to determine the refractive power of the eye and the instantaneous accommodative state. Reflected light is projected through a reticle (26) or plurality of reticles (26, 28). Spatial characteristics of t he resulting shadow pattern uniquely determine the characteristics of the eye. These shadow patterns can be measured directly or by causing a modulation of  the lines with a second identical reticle placed appropriately between the first and the imaging plane. The bright pupil and a Purkinje image may be us ed to compute the gaze angle (or, line-of-sight). A bright pupil on a dark background will provide the pupil diameter measurement. The ocular biometer can be configured in a binocular manner so that both eyes can be investigate d simultaneously for strabismus, stereopsis and convergence measurements. The depth of modulation of the modulated shadow pattern provides an indication o f the acuity of the ocular media and the retinal surface thus providing a mean s for screening such medical anomalies as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.

Title: Three laser optical disk drive system
Inventor: GOLDSMITH PAUL
IPC: G11B7/13
Filed: 1990-12-12
Granted: 1994-04-21
Abstract: An erasable optical disk drive system is disclosed which utilizes an electron trapping media coated on the disk surface to store data in the form of light energy and which utilizes three laser beams, each having a wavelength range distinct from each other as well as distinct from the wavelength range of the emission produced by the impingement of the read laser onto the electron trapping media. Data is written onto the disk, which is contained in a light-tight contamination-free environment, using a visible light laser beam. Data is read from the disk and the disk is erased by using a near infrared light laser beam. The focus and tracking functions of the disk drive system are accomplished by using a laser beam having yet another range of wavelengths, which are greater than those of the visible light laser beam and those of the photon emission from the electron trapping optical memory media, but less than those of the read/erase laser.
