Title: Production of grappa/brandy using distillation
Inventor: ZIGERLIG MAX
IPC: C12H6/02
Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: Fermented grape husks are introduced to de-alcoholizer 1 <I>via</I> screw conveyors. Steam passes in a counter-flow manner over said grape husks, extracting the alcohol content. The husks are then discharged. The extract is condensed in condenser 5 to form a mixed component "alcohol phlegma" of low strength. Said phlegma is conveyed to expansion tank 8, and then by pump 9 to collecting tank or tanks 10. The phlegma is then conveyed by pump 11 to water-bath distiller 2. Heat is supplied to distiller 2 and distillation takes place. Alcohol vapour from distiller 2 pass to cooling unit 12 directly or indirectly, where the liquid is collected. Residual phlegma is conveyed from distiller 2 <I>via</I> pump 16 to continuous distillation column 4, from which neutral grappa is extracted by offtakes 3s and liquid of higher proof is extracted by offtakes 18i. These grappa offtakes may be mixed with other grappa.

Title: Connecting a generator to a a circuit with existing alternating current
Inventor: ALDRIDGE WAYNE KENNETH
IPC: F02G1/045
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A generator 10 can be connected into a circuit with existing AC 20 across nodes 21, 22 without complex synchronising arrangements. A first resistor 41 of low value such that when it is initially connected across the generator output with switches 51 and 52 closed the load on the generator is large enough to prevent the generator from being turned by the prime mover (not shown) driving it. When this circuit is connected to the existing AC supply by opening switch 52 and closing switch 43 (see figure 3) the generator begins to be turned by the prime mover. Once the generator is operating in synchronisation the resistance 41 and 42 can be bypassed by closing switch 31 and opening 43. The prime mover is a Stirling engine and the generator is a liner alternator.

Title: Board game
Inventor: SHIMMIN CARL
IPC: A63F3/02
Filed: 2001-08-04
Abstract: Apparatus for playing a game, comprises a board 2 with a rectangular array of playing positions, a first set of playing pieces 4 and a second set of playing pieces 4, the first and second sets containing equal numbers of playing pieces 4. Within each set, each playing piece 4 has a first face identifiable as the first face and a second face identifiable as the second face, each of face bearing one symbol 6 selected from a predetermined set of three or more symbols, and the arrangement of symbols is the same on corresponding pieces 4 of the first and second sets. The distinctive feature that each playing piece 4 is double-sided, with symbols 6 on both faces allows for a rule in which, when a piece 4 is captured, it is turned over to convert it to a piece 4 of the capturing player; but at the same time the symbol 6 that was previously visible is changed to a symbol 6 that was previously hidden. Thereby an element of unpredictability is introduced into the game. The symbols may represent a value dictating which pieces can capture one another. The capturing of pieces may follow the rules of the game 'Scissors, Paper and Stone'.

Title: Formation of bag with gusset and / or transverse seal between two end openings
Inventor: PAPINEAU PIERRE
IPC: B31B37/00
Filed: 2001-11-26
Abstract: Two methods, and apparatus suitable for forming bags, and the bags formed thereby are disclosed. The first method comprising drawing a folded film sheet (29, fig. 4) through a gusset forming station (fig.5), the pre-folded sheet comprising opposed film panels (12,13, fig.4), an open edge and an opposed closed parallel edge which is folded through the gusset former (fig.5). The gusset folding produces a double offset outer folded edge (39, 40 fig,6) and inwardly spaced folded inner edge. A tear line 20 is serrated adjacent a portion of the outer folded edge (39,40 fig.6) between which and the gusset inwardly spaced folded inner edge is then attached a zipper 45, 46 or the like closure. The bag under formation then undergoes cutting and edge sealing operations to produce a bag with a gusset between to opposed open ends with the gusset generally adjacent the end with the zipper 45, 46. The gusset or a portion of the bag adjacent thereto might be transversely sealed to another portion of the bag to produce two separate bag compartments, each with an opening. In the second disclosed apparatus and method, the gusset formation step is absent, but a transverse sealing step to provide a twin compartments of the bag is explicit. Further disclosed are two opening bags featuring, a transverse seal alone (fig.16A) and both a gusset and transverse seal. The bags may be closed at one end by a engaged zipper closure 18, and at the other by such as a closure tag 25. Compartments of the bags may be used for the separate storage of food items (fig. 14A).

Title: Modular and portable deployment of a resource adapter in an application server
Inventor: SHARMA RAHUL
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: A system by which resource adapters may be utilized in client server computer configurations utilizing enterprise information systems is disclosed. A connector provider develops a set of Java interfaces and classes as part of its implementation of a resource adapter. These Java classes implement connector architecture specified contracts and implement EIS specific functionality provided by the resource adapter. The development of a resource adapter can also require use of native libraries that are specific to the underlying EIS. The Java interfaces and classes and native libraries, help files, documentation and other resources (as necessary) are then packaged together with a deployment descriptor to create a resource adapter module. The resource adapter module defines the contract between a connector provider and deployer for the deployment of a resource adapter in the client server environment. In order to facilitate the configuration of the resource adapter in an operational environment, the present invention specifies the following interfaces and classes. A class that implements a managed connection factory class supports a set of properties that provide information required by the managed connection factory for the creation of physical connections to the underlying EIS. This implementation class provides getter and setter methods for each of its supported properties. The supported properties are consistent with the specification of configurable properties specified in the deployment descriptor.
