Abstract: Food products having soft or liquid centers, layers or other areas are formulated by arranging two fat-containing components contiguous with one another. A fat in the first component migrates into the second, forming a mixture having a lower solids content than the second fat, while the structural integrity of the first component is maintained. The process is especially adapted to the formation of soft- and liquid-centered confections. One preferred embodiment employs fats bearing long, saturated C16 to C22 fatty acid residues and a mixture of short C2 to C4 acid residues, preferably containing acetic acid residues, as the migrating fat in a confectionery coating, and hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel oil as the fat in the confectionery center. An especially preferred embodiment employs, as the migrating fat, triglycerides bearing long, saturated substitutents containing at least about 75% stearic acid residues and short residues derived from acetic acid, a mixture of acetic and propionic acid, or a mixture of acetic and butyric acid. Since sucrose and invertase are not essential elements of the center, artificial sweeteners can be used to replace all or part of the sucrose, resulting in reduced calorie confections. Caloric reduction is further enhanced because preferred migrating fats are low in calories.

Abstract: A foldable box with an internal partition contains a partition-wall arrangement (13, 14, 15) of cardboard zones which are integrally connected to the blank of the foldable box. One of the partition zones (16) is bonded to a main zone (4). From the other partition zone, in the lower region of the compartment surrounded by the partition zones, a web extends transversely through the compartments, its upper edge bounding the compartments at the bottom. In this way, two bottles of different diameter and different height can be accommodated securely in the foldable box, their closure caps being located at the same height. The web provides the necessary height balance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Hemoglobin for forming the basis of blood substitute is modified by crosslinking it by reaction with a polyaldehyde produced by ring opening oxidation of a di/tri-saccharide such as raffinose, wherein the o-saccharide solutions are maintained and the reaction is conducted at a pH from about 5.0-7.0, and at a stoichiometry from about 1:1-4:1 based upon the molar ratio of di/tri-saccharide to hemoglobin tetramers, followed by appropriate reduction of the Schiff base linkages so formed to stabilize them. Careful control of the pH of ring opening of the di/tri-saccharide ensures consistent production of the polyaldehyde without unwanted side products and reaction of this product with the hemoglobin at the specified stoichiometry leads to high yields of stabilized, tetrameric hemoglobin and oligomers thereof of predetermined composition and beneficial properties.

Abstract: Un dispositif d'usinage par étincelage permet d'usiner des pièces à l'aide de décharges électriques avec apport d'un liquide d'usinage, renfermant de la poudre, dans l'espace compris entre l'électrode et la pièce à usiner. Un élément approprié situé dans un réservoir est logé dans un élément de recouvrement de sorte qu'il est protégé de la poudre contenue dans le liquide d'usinage. Un dispositif d'apport de liquide amène, lors d'un processus d'usinage par étincelage, non seulement le liquide contenant la poudre, dans l'espace précité, mais également du liquide ne contenant pas de poudre, dans l'élément de recouvrement. Ainsi, la poudre ne risque pas d'adhérer à une partie coulissante telle qu'un guide fil-électrode et un élément conducteur ou bien une partie rotative telle qu'un coussinet ménagé dans des rouleaux disposés le long d'un support, par exemple d'un fil-électrode, ce qui permet d'effectuer un usinage de précision.

Abstract: Block coded digital data is communicated with associated overhead data in a data stream having a succession of coded blocks (106, 108 ... 110). Each block contains N symbols wherein M of the symbols (102) comprise information to be transmitted and the remaining N-M of the symbols (104) comprise error correcting data. The ratio M/N comprises a first information rate. The coded blocks (106, 108 ... 110) in the data stream are divided into a succession of frames (144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154), each comprising F of the coded blocks. A frame overhead symbol (112) is added for each of the frames, to provide data necessary for a receiver function such as synchronization. The addition of the frame overhead symbols effectively lowers the first information rate to a second information rate M'/N', where M/N = (M' + b)/(N' + b) and b is an integer chosen to provide the second information rate at a desired value. N is less than 2<n> + 1, where n is the number of bits in each of the symbols. The number of coded blocks F in each frame is determined from the relationship F = M'P/(N-M)b. P is the smallest value integer that will render F an integer, and is also the number of overhead symbols added per frame. A plurality of X of the frames are formed into a superframe (100) containing FX coded blocks and PX frame overhead symbols. X is chosen to provide enough n-bit frame overhead symbols to implement the desired receiver function. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The refuse treatment process involves burning some refuse in a smouldering drum (10), producing smoulder gas and smouldering residue. A carbon-rich fraction is separated from the smouldering residue. At least part of this is intended as fuel for a support flame to burn another part of the refuse. This combustion takes place in a revolving tubular furnace (2). The smoulder gas and the carbon-rich fraction of the residue not needed for the support flame can be burnt in a post-combustion chamber (3) of the furnace. A quite small tubular furnace will suffice. No external energy is required to heat it. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided an improved method for making synthetic hydrotalcite by first reacting powdered magnesium oxide with a high surface area, transition alumina in a solution or suspension to form a meixnerite-like intermediate. This intermediate is then contacted with an anion source such as an acid, and most preferably carbon dioxide, to form the layered double hydroxide which is separated from the suspension by filtering, centrifugation, vacuum dehydration or other known means. On a preferred basis, the transition alumina combined with activated magnesia consists essentially of a rehydratable alumina powder having a surface area of 100 m<2>/g or greater. To make related double hydroxide compounds, still other reactants such as bromides, chlorides, boric acids, or salts thereof, may be subsituted for the carbon dioxide gas fed into this suspension.

Abstract: A method for making a transdermal drug delivery device for heat sensitive and volatile drugs is disclosed. The device contains a drug-containing adhesive composite layer having an impermeable backing material laminated to the distal surface thereof and a proximal peelable impermeable backing material adapted for removal for administering a drug to the skin or mucosa laminated to the proximal surface thereof. The method comprising the steps of providing first and second adhesive laminates each comprising a drug permeable adhesive layer having laminated to one surface one of said backing materials and having the opposing surface exposed. The drug, in gelled form and optionally containing additives such as enhancers and preservatives, is extruded onto at least one exposed surface of the first or second adhesive laminate followed by laminating together the exposed surfaces of the first and second adhesive laminate such that the adhesive layers and gelled drug are combined to form the drug-containing adhesive composite layer having the distal and proximal surfaces covered by the respective backing materials. The adhesives used in making up the laminates may be the same or different provided the drug is compatible with the adhesive. The process is particularly adaptable to the formulation of nicotine-containing patches. Drug delivery devices made according to the disclosed method and a method of using these drug delivery devices are also described.
