Title: Production of fructose and useful by-products
IPC: C13K11/00
Filed: 1980-10-03
Granted: 1983-06-22
Abstract: A process for obtaining fructose solutions or solid fructose, a raw material containing sucrose and/or similar fructofuranosides is hydrolyzed to fructose and glucose and treated with a calcium base (e.g. calcium oxide or hydroxide) to precipitate calcium-sugar complexes. The precipitate is slurried in water and then treated with phosphoric acid to liberate (e.g. at a pH of 5.5 to 9) a fructose solution of high purity (i.e. de-complex the calcium-fructose complex), with precipitation of useful calcium phosphate salts. Phosphoric acid has been found to have significant advantages over carbonic acid or carbon dioxide as the fructose-liberating (de-complexing) agent, e.g. better yields and more useful by-products. Solid fructose can be obtained from the fructose solution in a known manner. The filtrate from the calcium-sugar complexing step can be acidified to yield stable, useful, fructose-depleted by-products.

Title: Method of establishing communications in a transceiver network using frequency hopping, and apparatus for carrying out this method
IPC: H04K3/00
Filed: 1982-12-03
Granted: 1987-02-04
Abstract: In order to establish communications in a conference network of transmitter-receiver stations, each station establishes a frequency-jumping standby law while a calling station transmits a frequency-diversity call sequence on said standby law and the other stations are listening in accordance with said standby law. Furthermore, each station establishes a second frequency law which is synchronous with the standby law but the stair-steps of which are of longer duration. At the end of a call sequence, the calling station and the stations which have detected this sequence are put in the listening state over a time interval t1 at the corresponding possible traffic frequency of the second frequency law. Each station which has detected a signal then transmits a jamming signal over a time interval t2 at the aforementioned traffic frequency and the stations which have not detected any signal extend the listening period by the same time interval t2. Non-reception of a signal during the time interval t2 makes it possible to establish a communication at the corresponding frequency.
