Patent EP-0638401-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHEDLBAUER KARL
IPC: B30B11/26
Filed: 1989-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for profile extruding or tube extruding a mixture of plant particles, in particular wood particles, with binding agents, the mixture being compressed by the ram of an extruder in a filling space and solidified in the curing channel. The filled material is forced through a filling and pressing space, this space widening in the form of a wedge towards the curing channel, so that the filled material experiences uniform compression in the pressing direction. Due to the uniform compression in the length of each extruded piece produced with the pressing stroke, the pressure acting on the bounding walls of the filling and pressing space will be approximately uniform over the length when the final compression of the extruded part is reached. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of controlling the amount of used catalyst to be recycled to a hydrogenation reactor, used to produce fatty alcohols from fatty acids, or their derivatives
Inventor: STOENNER HANS-MARTIN
IPC: C07C29/149
Filed: 1994-01-13
Abstract: Fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives as well as hydrogen, fresh catalyst and a dispersion which contains used catalyst are supplied to the hydrogenating means, which are operated at temperatures in the range from 100 DEG  to 400 DEG  C. and under pressures in the range from 20 to 400 bars to produce a product stream, which contains fatty alcohols and used catalyst. A part of the product stream is circulated. A first partial stream Is withdrawn at a controllable rate from the circulating stream and is passed through a separator. A product which is rich in fatty alcohol and a dispersion which contains used catalyst are separately delivered by the separator. The dispersion is recycled to the hydrogenating means. A second partial stream is withdrawn at a controllable rate from the circulating product stream. Used catalyst is separated from the second partial stream and is removed from the process. The rate at which used catalyst is fed to the hydrogenating means can be increased in that the rate of the second partial stream is decreased.

Abstract: Methods of using, storing and transporting a metal protease enzyme in stabilized form in which an N-protected amino acid is present in or added to an aqueous solution or a slurry containing the protease, and metal protease compositions stabilized by the presence of N-protected amino acid. 
     Effect: 
   deactivation of metal protease is inhibited and the heat stability and storage stability of the enzyme are especially noticeably improved. Due to addition of an N-protected amino acid such as an N-benzyloxycarbonylamino acid to a metal protease, the enzyme may be stabilized even in the absence of excess Ca ion. 
Accordingly, storage of metal protease for a long period of time has become possible and transportation and storage of a liquid enzyme has become easy by the present invention. 
     The recovery of metal protease is improved by the presence of NPAA when a said enzyme is used in a coupling reaction between N-protected amino acid and amino acid ester. 
     This effect is most notably when N-benzyloxycarbonylaspartic acid is used as N-benzyloxycarbonylamino acid and phenylalanine methyl ester is used as amino acid ester in aspartame production.

Abstract: A sheet media realignment mechanism (10) is described for use in, for example, a printer. Preferably, the mechanism includes a lever (22) located in the sheet-feeding path adjacent and beneath a rotatable member (15) that mounts a plurality of sheet-feeding rollers (16, 18, 20). At the beginning of a sheet-feeding cycle, the lever is urged from its extreme upstream pivotal orientation by a pivot-mounted strut (12) into a downstream orientation in which a top sheet (S1) of the printer's infeed stack is fed by frictional forces into the feed zone (30). Upon release of the lever (22) by the strut (12) at a predefined pivotal orientation of the rotatable member (15), the lever (22) is urged farther into an extreme downstream orientation by the sheet being advanced. After the sheet (S1) passes by, the lever (22) is returned to its extreme upstream orientation in which it urges upstream and away from the printer's feed zone (30) any sheets (S2, S3) of the stack that inadvertently may have been dislodged and partly advanced downstream and toward the feed zone (30) by frictional forces between the fed sheet (S1) and those beneath it (S2, S3). Thus, the lever (22) realigns the sheets of the paper stack after each single-sheet feed into the printer or other sheet media-processing equipment to permit the addition of sheets to the top of the stack without pulling the stack away from the feed zone (30) and to reduce the likelihood of undesirable multiple-sheet picks and feeds.

Abstract: Macrocyclic polyetherimide oligomer compositions are prepared by the reaction of an alkali metal salt of a dihydroxyaromatic compound, preferably of bisphenol A, with a substituted bis-phthalimide, typically a chloro-, fluoro- or nitro-substituted o- or m-phenylene bisphthalimide. The reaction takes place in a substantially non-polar solvent such as o-dichlorobenzene and at temperatures in the range of about 180-225°C in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst which is stable at such temperatures, such as a guanidinium salt. The concentration of phase transfer catalyst is such as to maintain the alkali metal salt at high dilution in the solvent, and the substituted bis-phthalimide is preferably also maintained at high dilution by portionwise addition.

Abstract: The thermal-bonded interlining material of the invention comprises at least one non-woven layer (4) of tangled fibres (2) or filaments which has a given general direction and one face of which is covered with spots of heat-meltable polymer. Moreover, it comprises so-called weft threads (3) which are continuous textured filament threads arranged transversely to the abovementioned general direction and linked to the said layer as a result of the tangling of the fibres or filaments of the layer. Since the interlining material comprises only a single non-woven layer, the spots of heat-meltable polymer are arranged on the face of the layer on which weft threads are partially visible. Since the interlining material comprises two non-woven layers (4, 23) of tangled fibres or filaments (2), between which the weft threads (3) are sandwiched, the number of spots of polymer is of the order of or greater than 60 per square centimetre. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for AC power regulation primarily intended for inductive loads (e.g., fluorescent lights, motors, etc.) which provide substantial reduction in power consumption while also providing a leading power factor, reduced harmonic distortion, reduced crest factor and reduced noise. The system is self-adjusting for a wide range of loads and can reduce power consumption by 25 percent in lighting loads while producing minimal reduction in light output. The system utilizes a Triac and parallel capacitor bank in series with the load. The Triac is turned on in response to a near-zero differential voltage measured across the Triac and is turned off near the peak of each AC half cycle by shunting current around the Triac. The capacitor absorbs the inductive turn-off voltage spike caused by the collapsing magnetic field in the ballast at the instant of Triac turn-off. This energy, in turn, provides longer on-period for the lamp, thereby permitting more light and increased operating efficiency. The turn-off time is adjusted to regulate power at a reduced level responsive to line voltage, load current and load power-sense signals.

Abstract: Novel bifunctional reagents useful in providing extended in vivo lifetimes of physiologically active agents are provided. The reagents comprise conjugates of a first binding member specific for a target in a mammalian host, such as a toxin, drug of abuse, microbe, autoreactive immune cell, infected or tumourous cell, antigen presenting cell, or the like, joined to a second binding member specific for a long-lived blood component, including cells, such as an erythrocyte, platelet or endothelial cell, and plasma proteins. These conjugates find use by extending the lifetime and availability of the target binding member for coupling the target and the blood component and thereby reducing the concentration free target, modulating the volume of distribution of the target, targeting the target to sites of enhanced immune response, facilitating target clearance from the bloodstream, or extending the stimulation of an immunogen.
