Granted: 1985-12-04
Abstract: Method and apparatus for facilitating the sitting of the ratio between front and back illumination of a document (6) to be photographed to optimise the definition on the eventual image (microfilm) obtained. The overall brightness of the illuminated image can be set to an optimum level determined by an operator and adjustment of the ratio between front and back illumination can be optimised without changing the set level of the overall brightness. Following setting of the ratio, the exposure can be made (possibly at a different brightness level) without affecting the preset ratio.

Abstract: A method of producing a chromium yeast product having a high intracellular chromium content which is useful as a dietary chromium supplement is provided by treating an aqueous suspension of live yeast cells adjusted to an acidic pH in the range of 4 to about 7 with a water-soluble non-toxic chromium salt under essentially non-growth conditions for a period sufficient to permit the absorption of a significant amount of intracellular chromium ion by said yeast cells. The yeast cells so treated may be concentrated, washed free of extracellular chromium salts and dried or further grown by the addition of nutrients to the media, said growth period being of sufficient duration to reduce the intracellular chromium content of the yeast to a predetermined level followed by recovery, washing and drying of the chromium yeast as aforesaid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the clarification of juices and other similar beverages such as wine, beer, cider, etc. . . . which comprises a flotation stage. All known clarification processes used in the commercial production of beverages are discontinuous in that they rely on a sedimentation stage and/or require the use of expensive centrifugal equipment which require regular cleaning and maintenance. The use of the invention allows the commercial clarification of beverages without the necessity of going through a sedimentation stage or the use of centrifugal equipment. The process comprises three essential stages, i.e.: the formation of a flotable floc in the untreated beverage, the continuous introduction of the coagulated beverage in a flotation vessel, the flotation of the floc by microbubbles formed in the beverage and the continuous removal of the clarified beverage.

Abstract: The cover sheet which is to be placed, is brought into a waiting position above a predetermined conveying path of the stacks of flat articles. The cover sheet is displaced from this waiting position onto one stack by means of a placing element arranged at the end of a piston rod of a piston cylinder unit. The piston-cylinder unit is pivotably mounted about an axis which extends at right angles to a predetermined travel or movement direction of the stack. In its rest position the piston-cylinder unit lies against a pad or buffer which keeps the piston-cylinder unit in an inclined position. By extending the piston rod, the cover sheet is placed onto a stack. The placing element which presses on the stack, is entrained by the further moving stack. Thus the piston-cylinder unit is deflected from its rest position. As soon as a detector detects such a deflecting movement, the detector generates a signal which triggers retraction of the piston rod. The reversal of the movement of the piston rod is thus effected in a simple manner. The inclination of the piston-cylinder unit together with the placing element permits positionally correct placement of cover sheets onto stacks of various heights without requiring a special control arrangement.

Abstract: Les corps de végétation connus, comme le gazon en rouleaux, présentent une résistance réduite à la rupture et ne peuvent en outre pas être utilisés, en raison de la terre arable, dans des endroits extrêmes où l'eau fait défaut.

La hauteur de remplissage (18) est inférieure à l'épaisseur du substrat, si bien qu'il reste une zone libre (20). Il est possible d'appliquer sur le substrat des spores, des semences et des pousses, de manière à former une couche de mousse (24), respectivement des plantes plus grandes.
