Abstract: A method for dry peeling potatoes includes punching the periphery of a potato to form a partially peeled potato having a standardized dimension, moving the partially peeled potato under and over other cutting members to remove the remainder of the potato skin. According to a presently preferred method, the potato is punched with an oval-cylindrical punch and the punch is utilized to hold the potato as a workpiece for further cutting operations. An apparatus according to the invention includes a plurality of punches which are arranged in carriers for transport through an assembly line; a plurality of plungers arranged along the assembly line for pushing a potato into a punch, for removing scraps, for repositioning the potato in the punch for further cutting operations, for removing the peeled potato from the punch, and optionally for cutting the peeled potato into a plurality of pieces; a plurality of movable cutting knives arranged along the assembly line for removing skin from opposite sides of the potato as it is held in the punch; and a conveying means for moving the carriers to the plungers and knives along the assembly line. Circular and linear assembly lines are disclosed. The invention produces approximately half the waste as compared to known methods and apparatus. Moreover, the waste is dry and usable for cattle feed, for example, and need not be processed as a pollutant.

Abstract: A nozzle or tube which is useful for pouring molten metal, especially aluminum killed molten steel. The nozzle is formed from a blend of doloma and graphite which is bonded together in a carbonized matrix. Nozzles or tubes made in accordance with this invention have enhanced thermal shock resistance. Furthermore, the nozzles or tubes of this invention resist the formation of aluminum oxide therein when they are used for pouring molten aluminum killed steel. Consequently, these tubes or nozzles can be used in a continuous casting process for a long period of time without having to periodically stop the procedure and change the tubes as they become blocked with aluminum oxide. As a result of the thermal shock resistance, the usual preheating step prior to contacting the nozzle with the molten metal is greatly reduced.

Abstract: The present invention improves performance of the side and/or fin seals of plastic bags through the use of resins that have a narrow molecular weight distribution or polydispersity. The performance of the side seal and/or fin seal of a plastic bag is improved by using body panels which comprise a first resin, and optionally, a second resin. The first resin is preferably prepared in the presence of a single site catalyst. The first resin has a polydispersity of from about 1 to about 4, a melt index of from about 0.2 to about 20, and a melt flow ratio (I20/I2) of from about 12 to about 35. The use of such first resins results in side and fin seals which are stronger, tougher, and less likely to leak. The second resin is a polymer such as LDPE, LLDPE, or a blend thereof In body panels comprising both a first and a second resin, the first resin may be coextruded with LDPE or LLDPE as a thin layer of the body panel or the first resin may be blended with the LDPE and/or LLDPE.

Abstract: The invention involves applying a thermoplastic composition to fibers (10), such as reinforcing fibers (12) suitable for making a composite article, so as to size and/or preimpregnate the fibers. The composition has a relatively low viscosity and is substantially solvent-free and non-radiation curable. Heat energy may be employed to lower the viscosity and improve the wetting ability of the applied composition and/or to increase the molecular weight of, or otherwise cure, the composition with essentially no generation of solvent vapor. The treated fibers (32) are used to form a composite strand (14), which may be subsequently processed in-line or off-line into a composite article having fibers disposed in a polymeric matrix. The invention provides also a thermoplastic composition for use in such a method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the process, limestone is burned at a high temperature to form calcium oxide and, thereafter, calcium carbonate is formed from calcium oxide in the presence of water and carbonate ions and the formed calcium carbonate is recovered. The formation of the carbonate may be performed by carbonating calcium oxide with carbon dioxide gas in the presence of water or water vapour, or by reacting calcium oxide with soda solution. According to the invention calcium oxide is converted to calcium carbonate without separate slaking and essentially without intermediate storage, in particular without intermediate storage between the burning of the starting material and the forming of calcium carbonate. With the aid of the invention a quite advantageous solution in view of heat economy is achieved.

Abstract: An apparatus for loading and unloading leathers, or similars, on, or from, airchain conveyors equipped with horizontal hanging rods, comprises a table, including means for bidirectionally dragging the leather, inclinable, in the whole or partially, and axially extendable until one of its sides is placed in proximity of one hanging rod of said airchain conveyor. The loading operation of the leather on said hanging rod takes place by combining the translatory motion of the leather on said table and the timed back motion on the table itself, or of a portion of it, to the starting position. The unloading operation takes place by just reversing  the translatory motion of the leather on the table and by lifting up one side of the table, or of a portion of it, between the flaps of the hanged leather. The timing of back motion of the table, or of a portion of it, in respect of the leather translatory motion on the table, is controlled by means of sensors that detect the leather position on the table. Suitable means and devices are used to enhace the leather adhesion to the table surface and to facilitate the unloading operation through a separation of the leather flaps.

Abstract: A method for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a patient, comprising the steps of: (1) providing a sample of an appropriate body fluid from said patient; (2) detecting the presence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an altered glycosylation pattern in said sample. It has been established that approximately 75-95% of the AChE in the CSF of AD patients binds to Concanavalin (Con A) or wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) but with different specificity to each. Accordingly, in order to identify the glycosylation pattern of AChE in the sample, the binding to Con A is determined, then the binding to WGA is determined, and a ratio calculated. The ratio is characteristic of the glycosylation pattern. In alternative embodiment of the invention a monoclonal antibody specific for AChE with an altered glycosylation pattern is used to detect its presence.
