The mix formulation is whipped up to the obtaining of the meringue mass consistency, there are shaped therefrom the preforms, it is structurized, there are dried the obtained preforms and there are shaped therefrom separate products. The components of the mix formulation are taken in the following quantities, mass %:foaming agent (egg white)  0,5...1,4syrup    50...96including the gelatinous component  0,6...1,4filler the rest.In the capacity of gelatinous component there may be used: I - agar, II - pectin, III - furcelarium agar or mixture of agar with agaroid (carragheen).In the first case as filler it is used a blending mixture of apple pulp, in the second and third molasses. In the meringue production there may be used buffer salt, inverted syrup, aromatizers and colorants. In the preform shaping process in the centre of the meringue mass of at least one preform it is introduced under pressure the filling in the form of fruit broth (fruit jelly) and/or chocolate paste, and/or whipped milky cream.Onto the surface of the product there may be applied a finishing material in the form of powdered sugar or wafer crumbs, or cracked nut, or chocolate, fondant or fatty glaze. The meringue contains one or at least two glued together, shaped and structurized preforms, made in the form of geometrical figures with smooth or relief surface, prepared according to the claimed process. The meringue may have filling, placed into the cavity of at least one preforn thereof. The cavity with filling may be made either in the closed space of the meringue preform or open from one side of the meringue. The meringue may be covered with a layer of finishing material and/or made multicolored.The result consists in improving the product-quality indexes due to the viscosity retention with the given velocity gradient and use of different gelatinous components.Claims: 20

Abstract: A method is disclosed forming a membrane over a standard diaphragm cell foraminous electrode and may comprise the steps of suspending a matting material in a liquid medium, inserting a foraminous electrode into the suspension, vacuum forming a layer of the suspended matting material over the surface of the foraminous electrode so as to substantially reduce the porosity of the foraminous electrode material, applying to the surface of the foraminous electrode with the matting material thereon; a layer of thermoplastic material which includes particles of perfluorosulfonic acid resin in the sulfonyl fluoride form, baking the foraminous electrode with the layers in place until the thermoplastic material is fused into a thin and uniform film on the surface of the matting material which is substantially permeable to hydraulic flow and hydrolyzing the perfluorosulfonic acid resin to change the sulfonyl fluoride form to the cation exchange sulfonic acid form. The forming of the membrane over a standard diaphragm cell electrode assembly eliminates substantial cathode costs involved currently for converting the diaphragm electrolytic cell to a membrane electrolytic cell.

Filed: 1994-09-28
Abstract: A process for separation of gases into two components of different boiling points, for example in the separation of ethane from natural gas, comprises a first separation tower (V1) and a second separation tower (V2). Liquid in stream (5) from a bottom of the first tower is expanded and cooled and is then communicated in stream (6) to the second tower at a lower pressure. Gas from the second tower is communicated back to the first tower so that the first component in stream (10) is extracted from the top of the first tower and the second component in stream (11) is extracted from the bottom of the second tower. A third tower (V3) acts as a recycle fractionator upon the gas in stream (7) extracted from the top of the second tower with that gas being compressed into the third tower which is at high pressure. The liquid in stream (5) from the bottom of the first tower is used to cool a condenser (E6) at the top of the first tower (V1) and to cool the material from the recycle fractionator (V3) as it is returned to the top of the first tower.

Title: Immunosuppression by blocking T cell co-stimulation signal 2 (B7/CD28 interaction)
Inventor: LECHLER ROBERT IAN
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: Disclosed are means and methods for inhibiting T-cell mediated rejection of a xenotransplanted organ by blocking the delivery of co-stimulatory signal 2 (the B7/CD28 interaction) in order to prevent the activation of xenoreactive T-cells in the recipient. In a first aspect, co-stimulation is prevented by administration to the organ recipient of a soluble form of CTLA-4 from the xenogeneic donor organism. This preferentially binds B7 on the xenograft and blocks the interaction between B7 on the xenogeneic donor cells and CD28 on recipient T-cells. In a second aspect, co-stimulation is antagonised by expressing a ligand for CTLA-4 on the xenogeneic donor cells. This ligand binds to CTLA-4 on activated T-cells of the recipient and antagonises signal 2. In a third aspect, co-stimulation is prevented by expressing recipient organism MHC class II on the surface of the cells of the xenogeneic donor organ. The donor cells are thus able to present xenoantigens to a recipient T-cell in the context of self-MHC class II. If the donor cells do not express B7, or if B7 is blocked, the xenoreactive recipient T-cell becomes anergic.

Abstract: A flexible membrane is situated within a rigid or semi-rigid cap. The edge of the cap wall is adhesively fixed to the tissue surrounding the stoma. The interior of the cap is pressurized to press the membrane to seal the stoma against the discharge of solid and semi-solid waste. Gas escapes through a vent with a filter element. The cap can pressurized by an external pump or an integral pump member situated on top of the cap. A relief valve prevents over pressurization. A collection pouch can be provided as part of a device. The device can be removably mounted on a standard two-piece faceplate.
