Title: A process for utilizing mycelium waste from the production of citric acid in the conversion of starch in amylaceous raw material to fermentable carbohydrates
IPC: A23K10/10
Filed: 1956-11-27
Abstract: Mycelium waste from a process for making citric acid using an Aspergillus mould such as Aspergillus niger and containing the enzyme maltase, is washed with water mechanically dewatered, heated to a temperature not exceeding 50 DEG  C. until partially autolysed, dried at a temperature not exceeding 65 DEG  C. and ground. The product may be added to a liquefied mash of amylaceous raw material, such as steamed potatoes, to bring about saccharification.ALSO:A mash comprising amylaceous raw material, such as steamed potatoes is liquefied by adding malt, diastase or Aspergillus oryzae and then saccharified by adding prepared amylolytic mycelium waste from a process for making citric acid using an Aspergillus mould, such as Aspergillus niger.  The saccharified mash is subjected to alcoholic fermentation with yeast, alcohol is distilled off and the residue or stillage constitutes a fodder.ALSO:In preparing amylolytic mycelium waste for use in the conversion of starch in amylaceous raw material into fermentable carbohydrates, mycelium waste, from a process for making citric acid using an Aspergillus mould such as Aspergillus niger, is washed with water, mechanically dewatered, heated to a temperature not exceeding 50 DEG C. until partially autolysed, dried at a temperature not exceeding 65 DEG C. and ground.  In saccharifying a mash comprising amylaceous raw material such as steamed potatoes, the mash is liquefied by mxing it with malt, diastase or Aspergillus oryzae and maintaining the temperature of the mixture at 55 to 60 DEG C for 15 to 30 minutes.  The temperature of the mash is raised to between 65 and 70 DEG C., its pH value is preferably brought to 4,5, prepared amylolytic mycelium waste is then added, e.g. in an amount between 5 and 25% of the weight of starch in the mash, and the temperature is maintained, e.g. for about 1 hour, until saccharification is completed.  The resulting mash may be subjected to alcoholic fermentation with yeast and the residue or stillage, left after distilling off the alcohol, may be used as fodder.

Title: Apparatus for determining the content of given substance in a material
IPC: B43K8/02
Filed: 1971-08-09
Abstract: 1365121 Analyzing substances MAXPLANCK-GES ZUR FORDERUNG DER WISSENSCHAFTEN eV 9 Aug 1971 [7 Aug 1970 14 Sept 1970 25 Nov 1970] 37338/71 Heading G1A In an apparatus for determining the amount of a substance in a material (e.g. CO 2  in a biological substance or blood) light from a laser beam is split into a sample and a reference beam the sample beam being transmitted through the substance, and the beams are received by photo-electric means which produces at least one output signal representative of the attenuation or phase shift produced in the sample beam by its passage through the sample. In Fig. 1 light from a laser beam 10 is split up into a sample and reference beam and passed through a sample cuvette 14a and comparison cuvette 14b to be subsequently united by a semi-transparent mirror 32 and received by a detector 20. A mirror 28 displaceable by a Piezo-electric crystal in an adjusting device 30 varies path length of the reference beam by using the detector 20 output so that the two light beams are always in phase or always completely out of phase, the voltage proportional to the amount of the substance present in the sample cell required to achieve this being represented on a meter 22. In Fig. 2 the laser beam is split up into a sample and reference beam with a Piezoelectrically controlled mirror 15 in the reference beam path, and both beams are passed into a detecting device 17 wherein the reference and sample beams are both split up into two subbeams and directed on to two radiation detectors 20a 20b. A Piezo-electrically controlled mirror 25 is adjusted so that both parts of the reference beam are phase shifted by 90 degrees relative to each other. The overall phase position is adjusted by the mirror 15 so that the output signals of the radiation detectors 20a and 20b correspond to the attenuation and to the phase shift of the sample radiation due to the sample. The output signals of the detectors are amplified and displayed on a recorder, for example, a cathode ray oscilloscope. The embodiment may also include a beam attenuator 33 and/or a beam modulator 35. In Fig. 4 a laser 10 whose oscillation frequency varies with time (preferably linearly) is used. A Piezo-electrically controlled mirror 42 is in the reference beam path and is controlled by the output of a detector 20' (via amplifier 40 and control device 30) which receives the sample and reference beams passing through cuvettes 14'b and 14'a respectively. The position of the mirror 42 is altered until the reference beam and sample beam are in phase and the voltage driving the mirror is fed to one input of a double beam oscilloscope 44 to provide a trace representing the phase shift as the frequency varies. The attenuation of the sample beam is measured by a comparison circuit 48 connected to the output of the radiation detector 20' and the output of a radiation detector 46 receiving a further radiation beam. The output of the comparison circuit is connected to the other input of the double beam oscilloscope 44.

Abstract: 900,706. Disc brakes. GOODRICH CO., B. F. Nov. 9, 1959 [Nov. 10, 1958], No. 37943/59. Class 103 (1). In a spot-type disc brake, two brake pressure plates 24, 25 are slidably mounted on mounting pins 28a, 28b secured to a non-rotatable wheel axle 11 and the pressure plates are urged by piston and cylinder devices 36 into frictional contact with a rotatable brake disc 13 secured to the vehicle wheel 12. Each piston and cylinder device 36 comprises a piston member 38 and a cylinder member 37, the arrangement being such that when fluid under pressure is introduced into chamber 40, the piston 38 urges the pressure plate 24 towards the disc 13 and the reaction on the cylinder member 37 urges pressure plate 25 against the disc by means of draw-rods 27 which are bolted at one end to a screwed closure member 37a of the cylinder member 37 and at the other end to the pressure plate 25. The draw bolts 27 and the piston shank 50 are arranged to exert actuating force on their respective pressure plates at localized spots radially inwards from the radially innermost regions of the friction linings 26 carried on the pressure plates to deflect the latter at these spots to engage the brake disc in such a manner that the radially outer regions of the linings press less tightly against the disc than the radially innermost regions of the linings to achieve uniform wear. Springs 48 separate the pressure plates when the brake is in the inoperative position and adjustment for wear of the friction linings is compensated for by adjustment of the screwed closure member 37a. In the embodiment disclosed, there are two piston and cylinder devices 36 disposed to coact with diametrically opposite parts of the disc.

Filed: 1961-10-25
Abstract: A method of making a collagen sponge, having interconnected pores, comprises freezing an aqueous dispersion of collagen fibres, removing the water by immersing the frozen mass in a water-miscible, dehydrating solvent, and drying the resulting collagen mass.  The dehydrating bath contains sufficient quantity of a base, such as ammonium hydroxide, to neutralize the acid present in the collagen dispersion.  In one example, cattle tendon is cleaned and sliced and then treated with an enzyme solution to dissolve elastin.  It is then swollen by the addition of cyano-acetic acid and forced through a series of screens.  After being frozen in steel moulds the blocks are removed and immersed in a series of baths of isopropanol containing a small proportion of ammonium hydroxide, to dehydrate the mass, which is finally air dried.  Acetic acid, cyanoacetic acid and lactic acid are referred to as suitable for use in producing the collagen dispersion and either acetone or isopropanol may be used for dehydration.

Abstract: Green clay is reduced to particle form, e.g. cylindrical pieces 0.1-1 cm. in diameter by 0.1-1 cm. in length, the particles are heated in e.g. a rotary tube furnace to incipient fusion, e.g. 1100-1300 DEG C., and then pressed together whilst still hot in a heated press mould to form a brick or aggregate.  Bloating agents and/or thermite substances and crystal seeds such as basalt bodies may be added to the green clay.  The light bricks produced with added bloating agents have low water absorption. Concrete made from such aggregate requires less cement than normal.
