Title: Fluidized bed system
Inventor: BEISSWENGER HANS
IPC: F23C10/20
Filed: 1988-02-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a fluidized bed system which includes a fluidized bed reactor, a solids separator and a return line and serves to carry out exothermic processes in a circulating fluidized bed for large thermal capacities. Secondary gas is introduced into the reactor on a level which is at least 1 meter above the bottom of the reactor. The fluidized bed system is provided with one or more displacing bodies, which cover 40 to 75% of the bottom surface area of the fluidized bed reactor and have a maximum height that is equal to one-half of the height of the reactor to ensure a satisfactory transverse mixing of the oxygen-containing secondary gas and fuel in reactors having large dimensions.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with method for preparing process flavourings, comprising the steps of:   (a) mildly oxidizing fat to such a degree that the anisidine value of the fat is increased by at least a factor 1.5,   (b) preparing a Maillard reaction mixture comprising:   (1) a carbohydrate ingredient selected from the group consisting of reducing carbohydrate, precursors of such carbohydrates, heat-degradation products of such carbohydrates and mixtures thereof,   (2) a nitrogen compound with general formula NHRR', where R and R' represent hydrogen, aliphatic group or aromatic group and where R and R' may be the same or different, and (3) the oxidized fat obtained in step (a), the weight ratio of carbohydrate to nitrogen compound exceeding 1:20, and   (c) maintaining the reaction mixture at a temperature of more than 50 DEG C for at least 2 minutes. It was found the incorporation of mildly oxidized fat in a Maillard reaction mixture upon subsequent heat treatment generates a relatively strong and in addition to that a balanced process flavouring due to the fact that also non-typical Maillard-type process flavourings are formed. n

Patent GB-2373914-B (GB)
Title: Portable terminal equipment and method of controlling backlight display therein
Inventor: SUZUKI MASAKI
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 2000-12-08
Granted: 2003-05-14
Abstract: When the amount of remaining battery power is limited, the battery life can be extended while established functions can be maintained sufficiently available. A battery remaining power amount monitoring portion 4 monitors the amount of battery power remaining. On lighting the backlight within a liquid crystal display 1, when a controlling portion 6 determines that the amount of remaining battery power is higher than a predetermined level, based on the result of monitoring in the battery remaining power amount monitoring portion 4, the controlling portion 6 causes a desired light emitting element to emit light. However, when the controlling portion 6 determines that the amount of remaining battery power is lower than the predetermined level, it causes a light emitting element operable with a lower power consumption to emit light, thereby saving power consumption. With multiple-color light emitting elements, when the battery is low light emitting elements of a selected color operable with lower power consumption are used.

Abstract: This invention relates to arrangements used in lighting pre-mix burners. A gaseous fuel and an oxidant are mixed in a mixer and fed to a pre-mix burner nozzle 10, which opens into a tubular flame screen 1. The flame screen 1 is perforated as shown at 2 to provide flame ports. A pilot gas tube 3 has its outlet end 4 ring positioned inside the flame screen 1 adjoining the internal surface of the flame screen. The other end of the pilot gas tube is connected to a gas supply, the direction of flow being indicated by the arrow B. A spark ignition device 5, 6, 7 is positioned outside the flame screen, close to the outlet end 4 of the pilot tube. To ignite the burner, gas flows through the pilot tube 3 while an oxidant e.g. air passes over the pilot tube 3.
