Patent EP-0550836-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GOLLASCH RAINER DIPL-ING
IPC: A23K30/00
Filed: 1992-12-08
Abstract: Sterilisation of pumpable treatment goods by the heat sterilisation process meets with difficulties, in particular whenever it is to be carried out in an continuous operation and at the same time reliably and economically. For this reason, the treatment goods are initially exposed to saturated steam pressure, heated to the sterilisation temperature and freed from inert gases, and then kept at the sterilisation temperature for a sufficient sterilisation time during passage through a sterilising vessel. In this case, sufficient sterilisation time means that every part is reliably sterilised but is not treated longer than necessary, that is to say, that there is a low residence time spectrum as regards the sterilisation conditions. To this end, the treatment goods are passed through the sterilising vessel in several part-amounts which are consecutive in the passage direction, the part-amounts being separated from one another by saturated water vapour. The sterilising vessel is designed as a spiral tube (12) rotatably driven about its longitudinal axis and is a component of three sections which follow each other in the longitudinal direction and are enclosed by a vessel jacket (9), specifically a charging chamber (11), the adjoining spiral tube (12) and an emptying chamber (13), the amount of treatment goods charged and the speed of rotation being suited to each other in such a way that in each case only the lower half of the spiral tube (12) is filled with treatment goods. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electroconductive material has at least one portion in which the electrical resistance varies continuously along a gradient. Accordingly, since the material is not formed by directly bonding different elements, it does not have a weak joint portion. Further, since other material characteristics besides electrical resistance also vary along a gradient, for instance, when the material is used at a high or low temperature, a large thermal stress does not generate at an interface between different elements of the material due to a difference of thermal expansion coefficients of such elements. A method of producing an electroconductive material comprises the steps of adding an additive to a base material, producing plural alloy materials having different compositions, respectively, overlapping the produced plural alloy materials, and joining the overlapped materials by plastic processing. A motor uses the above electroconductive material as a conductor provided in a plurality of slots. Consequently, starting characteristics of the motor are improved due to the skin effect, and internal stress of the motor due to the thermal expansion of the conductor is decreased. Moreover, the reliability of the motor is improved.

Abstract: A low-inductance package for multiple paralleled devices (Q1-Q8) includes an electrically insulating substrate (20) having three power terminals direct-bonded to the upper surface thereof and a conductive pad (22) direct-bonded to the lower surface thereof for connection to a heat sink. Two groups of multiple parallel-coupled devices are each soldered to one of the three power terminals and are further connected in a half-bridge configuration such that one of the three power terminals is common to both groups of devices. The package further includes a pair of first Kelvin terminals, i.e., a first Kelvin control terminal (G1) and a first Kelvin source terminal (SK1), and a pair of second Kelvin terminals, i.e., a second Kelvin control terminal (G2) and a second Kelvin source terminal (SK2). The Kelvin terminals are soldered to the appropriate power terminals, depending upon the particular circuit configuration. The multiple parallel-coupled devices of each group are aligned such that the lengths of the wire bonds to the respective control and power terminals are substantially the same and furthermore are shortened. As a result, the stray inductance due to the wire bonds is the same for each group of devices and is minimized. Current sharing and simultaneous switching of devices within each group are thus ensured.

Abstract: Methods of making shelf stable condensed sweetened dairy concentrates, and thereby preserving the dairy fat while retaining the flavor and texture characteristics of fresh dairy products, involve mixing together fat and non fat milk solids including a fresh dairy component, and sugar, to make a blend, evaporating the blend to at least 70% total solids, and recovering the product as the dairy concentrate. The concentrates so made comprise, in combinations, about 15% to about 37% fat, 4% to about 17% non fat milk solids, and enough sugar to avoid deleterious effects related to growth of pathogenic organisms based on activity internal to the concentrate. Sandiness due to lactose crystallization at above 7% non fat milk solids can be avoided by seeding the evaporated blend. The concentrate can be used in a variety of applications, including the production of frozen dairy desert mixes made by adding sugar and non fat milk solids as desired to the concentrate. Typically, all the fat is provided by the concentrate, such that no other fat is added in making the mix, the mix being the formula ultimately consumed by a consumer.

Abstract: The apparatus operates on a time division multiplex communication system and includes a power amplifier circuit (12), signal processing circuit (11, 15), battery (20), stepping up circuit (23), storing circuit (24), and a switch circuit (21). The power amplifier circuit amplifies a transmitted signal intermittently transmitted at predetermined periods to a radio transmission power level. The signal processing circuit is operated by a voltage lower than the operating voltage of the power amplifier circuit. The battery is for example a battery constituted of a lithium ion battery, of which the unit cell has a full-charged voltage lower than the operating voltage of the power amplifier circuit and an ultimate voltage higher than the operating voltage of the signal processing circuit, with a large voltage difference between the full-charged voltage and the ultimate voltage. The stepping up circuit is a circuit with small output current capacity, operating at the voltage within the range changing from the full-charged voltage to the ultimate voltage of the battery, and amplifies the output voltage of the battery at least to the operating voltage of the power amplifier circuit. The storing circuit stores power of which the voltage is stepped up by the stepping up circuit. The switch circuit is provided between the storing circuit and the power-supply terminal of the power amplifier circuit and supplies the stored power in the storing circuit to the power amplifier circuit only while the power amplifier circuit is amplifying the transmitted signal in substance.
