Title: Unflavored Psyllium Drink Mix Compositions
Inventor: BARBERA MELVIN A
IPC: A23L29/238
Filed: 1992-10-19
Abstract: Unflavored psyllium husk-containing drink mix compositions are prepared consisting essentially of small particle size psyllium husk comprising less than about 10 % of psyllium husk having particle sizes larger than about 60 mesh screen, less than about 2.0 % edible acid, and sugar. Such compositions are unflavored so as to permit mixing small particle size psyllium, which is readily suspended in a liquid without a gritty texture, with a broader selection of liquids, such as milk and fruit drinks, without rapid gelling of the psyllium husk.

Title: Circuit arrangement for mitigating power switch capacitance
Inventor: HARRIS WILLIAM A
IPC: H02P29/02
Filed: 1993-04-20
Abstract: A circuit arrangement is provided to mitigate the parasitic capac-itance that typically is associated with solid state switches which are de-signed to carry high current magnitudes. By disposing a capacitive com-ponent in series with a power switch which, in turn, is connected in series with an inductive component, the overall capacitance of the switch and capacitive component are significantly reduced. In a preferred em-bodiment of the present invention, the capacitive component is a diode with a voltage potential provided at the cathode of the diode so that the parasitic capacitance of the diode can be varied to tune the total circuit for the purpose of achieving a specific resonant frequency. In applica-tions where high frequency signals are injected into the circuit for pur-poses of measuring a parameter, such as rotor position, the present in-vention is beneficial because of the ability to tune the frequency resulting from the residence of the series LC circuit which comprises a conductive component, such as a motor stator winding; and a capacitive compo-nent,such as a power switch which possesses an inherent parasitic cap-acitance. Another benefit of the present ivention is the fact that it makes possible the use of smaller components in a snubber network associated with the inductive component because of the increase in resonant fre-quency achieved by the decrease in capacitance of the series LC circuit.

Patent CA-2132032-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FANKBONER PETER V
IPC: A01K61/56
Filed: 1994-09-14
Abstract: The process includes the step of forming an opening in the shellof a host mollusk, such as an abalone, at a location covering a soft tissue thereof, such as the mantle-covered gonadal tissue. A pearl nucleus is then inserted into the opening. The pearl nucleus comprises a nucleating portion, typically semispherical in configuration, and a nut portion. The pearl nucleus is either threaded or configured to provide a tight frictional fit with the peripheral edge of the opening. The pearl nucleus is inserted into the opening and then turned by means of the nut portion to provide a very tight fit in the opening . In another embodiment, a pearl nucleus is drawn into the abalone in the vicinity of the head region, or through an opening formed in the abalone shell, by means of a probe which is introduced into the abalone through another smaller opening. The pearl nucleus is pulled into the abalone until it is seated adjacent the smaller opening, where it is held by tissue pressure and glue. The larger opening drilled in the abalone shell may be closed with an elongate pearl nucleus having a size and shape sufficient to pass through the opening in a first orientation and capable of substantially occluding the opening in a second orientation. In a further alternative embodiment, a pearl nucleus and piece of graft tissue are secured to one end of a curved, elongate probe and threaded through a soft tissue of the abalone to an implanted position. The same procedure may be employed for implanting graft tissue absent a pearl nucleus to form non-nucleated pearls. In a further alternative embodiment of the process, a pearl nucleus may be formed in a soft tissue of an abalone, such as the aductor muscle, by using a hypodermic syringe to inject a fast-setting resin into a cavity formed in the muscle tissue.

Abstract: Procédé de culture d'un nématode, Steinernema kushidai, dans un milieu de culture. Ce nématode a un puissant effet insecticide sur les larves de coléoptères et il nécessite, pour sa culture à grande échelle, des conditions de culture différentes de celles des autres nématodes parasites des insectes. L'activité de S. kushidai pour l'élimination des insectes nuisibles pour les végétaux, tels que les cultures de plein champ, peut être accrue s'il est cultivé sur un milieu contenant des stéroïdes. Il peut être cultivé avec un rendement élevé à l'aide d'un stratifié dans lequel le milieu contenant les stéroïdes est fixé sur un support par adsorption et plusieurs supports de ce type sont empilés les uns sur les autres en ménageant des espaces entre eux. Il est en outre possible de produire des S. kushidai ayant un taux élevé de prolifération et un fort pouvoir insecticide par culture dans un milieu liquide contenant des stéroïdes dans lequel de l'oxygène est amené sous agitation. Le S. kushidai obtenu est utilisé comme pesticide biologique pour réduire les dommages causés par les insectes aux cultures en plein champ, par exemple aux pommes de terre.

Abstract: Adjustable axle or similar telescoping structure includes an outer frame tube of square section which telescopingly receives an inner tube having a top shim-contacting surface, two parallel side surfaces, and a lower wall of inverted V-shaped section defining two additional downwardly directed shim-contacting surfaces. Three flat plates of a polymer material are supported between the three shim-contacting surfaces and the outer frame tube. One pad is attached to the upper surface on the inside of the outer tube. The remaining two pads are connected to a wedge-shaped steel bar and are oriented upwardly by the bar to contact the two shim-contacting surfaces on the inverted V- shaped section . The bottom wall of the outer frame tube is drilled and nuts are welded onto the outer surface to receive bolts which are screwed into the nuts to contact the bottom of the bar. When the bolts are tightened, they force the inner tube upward so it contacts the upper pad. Counter bores in the bottom of the bar prevent the bar from moving while axle length is being adjusted.

Abstract: The machine of the invention comprises downstream a squeezing device defining portions (P), successive pairs of first and second plates (1), 1') disposed parallel inside which the portions (P) are engaged. The first and second plates (1, 1') of each pair move forward in the machine by keeping their spacing and remaining longitudinally in coincidence, whilst moving transversally at the same speed but in opposite directions so as to make the portion (P) they enclose rotate. Secondly, the transversal movement directions are alternate between the first successive plates (1) and between the successive second plates (1'). Consequently, the continuous filled-up casing (B) driven by the pairs (1, 1') advances inside the machine in the form of successive portions (P) between which a twist is formed.
