Abstract: Procedure for treating residual serum in the fabrication of cheese, thereby eliminating its contaminating power and obtaining L-lactic acid, characterized in that it comprises initially a fermentor with temperature and pH regulation for seeding and inoculum; a second industrial fermentor connected to an alkali container through a metering pump actuated by a pH-meter and, finalyy, the process gives successively passage to the fluid coming from the industrial fermentor through a press filter, through a hollow fiber microfilter and through ion exchange resin colums. The resulting final product has a pH lower than 2, free of nitrites and toxic substances, lactic acid with a high content of isomer l is obtained.

Abstract: A domestic article, for example a valet, a lamp foot, a curtain rod, or a curtain tie back is bent into shape from a straight and stiff but bendable rope. The rope is made up of a steel tube as a core around which a number of strands of hemp or the like are firmly twisted simultaneously with each strand being firmly twisted around itself. The ends of the strands are firmly fixed to the tube and because of the frictional interaction between the strands and the core, the rope will be stiffer than the core. The rope will be bendable and the tube will substantially maintain its cross section in the bends.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a dish-washer wherein a dryer fan is used in order to dry such objects as dishes, glasses, etc., after being washed and the humidity control is made by using a temperature sensor, for an improved drying process. A temperature sensor (8) placed in the fan channel (7) used to discharge air from the wash machine tub during the drying cycle, gives information about the dryness of the objects within the machine by determining the changes in the temperature of air inside the channel. With the dish washing machine of the present invention wherein a method based on the fact that an increase in the temperature shows the degree of dryness of the objects inside the machine, is used, hence the need to use a humidity sensor for the control of dryness is eliminated and to use a temperature sensor which is a cheaper method, is proposed.

Abstract: A corrosion-resistant and fire-resistant pipe system suitable for sprinkler systems and the like in the offshore industry and also on military and civilian seagoing vessels, and generally as sprinkler systems in official buildings and in industrial buildings. The pipe system is characterized in that the pipe system includes rigid and cold-formable pipe sections (10) that have one or more tubular rubber layers (11, 13, 15) and reinforcement layers (12, 14) that surround or embrace one or more of the tubular rubber layers (11, 13, 15). The reinforcement layers are comprised of wires or ribbons that have been wound, braided, knitted or formed in some other way so as to cross each other, wherein each of the wires or ribbons defines with the longitudinal axis of the pipe section a winding or spiraling angle that imparts the greatest possible strength to the reinforced, tubular rubber layers (11, 13, 15). In the present case, the system also includes branch connections (18) for connecting a pipe section (10) to another pipe section in a multi-path coupling.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for selective collision-induced dissociation of a substance, by resonance excitation of ions. An ion stream is supplied into a quadrupole ion guide operated at elevated pressure with a buffer gas. In addition to a radio frequency field for guiding ions through the ion guide, an extra field or other excitation is provided. This field is selected to cause resonance excitation of parent ions of interest. These ions gain kinetic energy and undergo enhanced collision-induced dissociation with a buffer gas. This generates fragment ions, so that the resultant ion stream, containing remaining parent ions and fragment ions can be analyzed in a suitable analyzer. The method essentially enables the two steps of selection of a particular parent ion and generation of fragment ions by collision-induced dissociation to be carried out in a single step, giving a simpler apparatus and enhanced efficiency.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating artificial atmospheres in a furnace (100) for the heat treating of materials. The furnace (100) includes a substantially isolated chamber (102) having a discharge receiving orifice (103) for accepting a bi-phasic cryogen into a hot/work zone (111) of the chamber. A low pressure cryogen source (114) feeds a bi-phasic inert gas into the chamber (102) in order to allow the volumetric expansion of the evaporating liquid constituent of the bi-phasic cryogen to purge a substantial portion of the ambient oxygen from the chamber and to allow a substantial residual concentration of the inert gas to blanket the process area without significant dissipation during the heat treating process. Oxidizable materials heat treated in artificial atmospheres generated by use of bi-phasic cryogens show no signs of scaling or staining through the process and thus do not need to undergo acid bathing prior to subsequent processing.
