Title: Method of producing food flavoring agent
Inventor: KOFOED LENE VENKE
IPC: A23L27/21
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of a food flavoring agent. More particularly the invention provides a process for producing a food flavoring agent, which method contains the steps of preparing an aqueous slurry of plant protein and insoluble plant material, treating the slurry with a protease to hydrolyse the protein, maturation, wherein no separation of insoluble material is done between the first two steps. By this method the flavor of a plant protein hydrolysate can be intensified and improved.

Title: Method and device for process control during bleaching of fibrous materials
Inventor: FURUMOTO HERBERT
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: As a rule, installations for bleaching fibrous materials are arranged in several stages, whereby in each case a suspension of the fibrous material is treated with chemical bleaching agents. According to the invention, continuous spectrums of electromagnetic radiation are detected in at least one point of the bleaching agent and/or continuous spectrums of mechanical properties are detected in the material, suspension or sample sheets made from the material suspension. The continuous spectrums (Q; 21, 22) are evaluated by means of suitable methods and characteristic quantities (PC1, ..., PCn) are formed. If necessary, discrete mechanical and/or chemical properties are also measured. The characteristic quantities are used to establish a state model (30) and then, together with product and/or process characteristics, to create a process model (40), both of which are used for process optimization.

IPC: B41M5/52

Abstract: A thermal transfer image receiving sheet is provided
which, when used with various printers, can be carried with
improved accuracy, can form an image without
misregistration, can prevent a trace of a spike of a
metallic roller in the printer from reaching the image
receiving surface and hence can form an image having
quality not significantly influenced by the trace of the
spike. 
     The thermal transfer image receiving sheet 1 comprises
a substrate 3, a receptive layer 4 provided on at least one
side of the substrate 3, and a grip layer 2 provided on the
other side of the substrate 3. In this case, the grip
layer 2 is constituted by an unstretched synthetic resin
layer having a softening point of 110°C or above. This
constitution permits a spike of a metallic roller in a
printer to satisfactorily bite the unstretched synthetic
resin layer having a softening point of 110°C or above as
the grip layer 2. This prevents slippage between the
metallic roller and the thermal transfer image receiving
sheet 1 at the time of a reciprocation for image formation
and hence can prevent misregistration. Therefore, the
thermal transfer image receiving sheet can be carried with
improved accuracy, and a thermally transferred image can
be formed without misregistration.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a plumb-bob device for
vertical pointing operation with a beam-casting housing (1)
supported vertically by a plurality of legs (2) via a GIMBAL
mechanism (3). The device has a reduced size, so that it can
be handled quickly and conveniently on a construction cite.
The legs (2) are mounted for expansion and contraction in and
around an upper end portion (1a) via the GIMBAL mechanism
(3) on and around an upper end portion (1a) of the housing (1).
The legs (2) each have an inner surface (2c) complementary to
the outer periphery (1c) of the housing (1). The device thus
can assume a shape just like a long pencil when the legs are
contracted. For vertical pointing operation, the housing (1)
is held vertically by the legs (2) in an expanded state. The
device can be used as an inverted plumb-bob device and also as
a pointer by mounting a retaining member (5), which has a
string, on lower end portions (2c) of the legs (2) in the
contracted state thereof.

Abstract: An aqueous electrolyte ozone generating system (100)
comprised of electrolyte tank 12 and liquid-vapor
separator tank 1. Electrolyte tank 12 has a liquid supply
port located at its upper part which allows the ozone
gas-containing liquid (generated at anode 9) to be
supplied to liquid vapor separator tank 1. The water at
the bottom part of the separator tank flows back to the
anode chamber of the electrolyte tank through a return
port, and fresh water is replenished to the system
simultaneously while the temperature of the water in the
separator tank is controlled. Liquid-vapor separator
tank 1 is thin in horizontal width and long in the vertical
direction. Heat exchanger wall 1a is installed to and
covers most of the surface area of at least one side of
the separator tank. A temperature control means 2,
capable of providing a cooling effect, is integrally
installed to the heat exchanger wall. As water is
consumed by the electrolytic reaction, the water level
in the separator tank is kept constant by the addition
of replenishment water to the top of the tank. Both the
recirculated and replenished water are cooled when they
flow to the bottom of the separator tank, and temperature
control is executed based on the temperature of the water
at the bottom of the separator tank as monitored by
thermocouple 7.

Abstract: Method of adaptive differential pulse code modulation, ADPCM, which
fundamentally satisfies the recommendations G.726 or G.727 of the CCITT,
being implemented in an ADPCM encoder whereby, given an input sample,
a quantified difference signal (DQ) is obtained by subtracting from the input
sample an estimated value of this sample, the estimated signal (SE),
whereby a feedback loop is formed which includes a prediction module (27).
The prediction module (27) calculates, in the preceding frame, the estimated
signal (SE) and a partial estimated signal of the sixth order prediction for the
current frame sample. Consequently these operations are carried out in
parallel with other of the algorithm, resulting in an overall speeding up of the
encoding process.
