Patent EP-0045259-A3 (EP)
Title: Safety device for an offshore platform
IPC: E02B17/06
Filed: 1981-07-27
Abstract: The present invention concerns marine platforms designed for carrying out drilling operations at sea. More precisely, it concerns platforms equipped with a number of retractable pads, which, in the retracted position, allow the platform to be moved by flotation, and, in the support position on the sea bottom, allow the platform to be raised above the surface of the sea by means of elevator devices, consisting of at least a pair of pinions for each pad, these pinions engaging with racks provided for the purpose. According to the invention, the safety device includes, for each pinion-equipped pad (1), at least one pair of pinions (8-9) mounted on a support chassis (12) attached to the platform, together with a brake on each pinion axle (10-11) engaging the same side of the rack. The preferred manner of attaching the support chassis to the platform is by means of a joint mounted on an eccentric (14) which allows for horizontal displacement to compensate for lateral play using a cam, for example.

Title: Structural member with truncated conical portion and composite panel including same
IPC: E04C2/32
Filed: 1982-01-22
Abstract: A structural steel member and composite panel including the same and having a sheet of industrial steel having formed therein a pattern of dome-like projections, extending from the plane of the sheet, and of which at leat the major portion of each projection is substantially circular in plan view and the projections are arranged in a geometric pattern that substantially limits the elongation of the material to the areas defined by the circular configurations, the dome-like projections also having formed in the peak areas thereof small truncated cones having a flattened uppermost surface, parallel to the original plane of said sheet, providing superior overall depth and increased resistance to crushing. When employed in the form of a composite panel, a flat load bearing steel sheet extends across and is fixed to the flattened surfaced of the peak areas, such as by welding, and affords advantageous union of the sheets to form such a composite panel, suitable for use, such as in the art of access flooring.

Title: Enzymatic hydrolysis of granular starch directly to glucose
IPC: C12N9/34
Filed: 1985-07-19
Abstract: It is discovered that certain fungi, particularly members of the genus Humicola, secrete an enzyme mixture or preparation that hydrolyzes raw or granular starch directly to glucose without producing substantial amounts of limit dextrins or tri or higher number saccharides. The fungi is germinated and fermented on carbohydrate substrates, producing a broth exhibiting raw starch hydrolyzing activity. The broth is separated from the fungi annd is added to a slurry of raw starch to hydrolyze the same to glucose. To produce glucose more efficiently, mutuations have been induced in Humicola, and certain mutants produce elevated titers of raw starch hydrolyzing activity.
