Title: Method and apparatus for the manufacture of pharmaceutical cellulose capsules.
Inventor: GROSSWALD RALPH R
IPC: B29C35/04
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing pharmaceutical capsules use an aqueous solution of a thermogelling cellulose ether composition and use capsule body pins and capsule cap pins as molds. The method involves heating the pins, dipping the pins into the solution to cause the solution to gelatinize on the surface of the pins, removing the pins and drying the gelatinized solution on the surface of the pins to form capsule bodies and capsule caps. The capsule parts may have a thick wall and a stiffening ring and the capsule parts are removed by gripping. The invention solves the problem of cracking at the dip-line edge by breaking adhesion between the capsule part and the pin before removing the capsule part from the pin.

Title: Procede et dispositif de moulage par compression et de sechage de pates alimentaires
Inventor: MANSER JOSEF
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 1992-08-20
Abstract: L'invention propose d'introduire les pâtes alimentaires dans un climat de séchage immédiatement après leur sortie du moule. Les pâtes allongées (6) ou courtes (6k) sont directement transférées du moule de compression (7) au séchage (8). Les pâtes allongées (6) peuvent être directement coupées à leur longueur d'emballage en sortant du moule de compression (7) ou après leur séchage, au moyen d'un dispositif supplémentaire de coupe. Il est possible de n'effectuer ainsi que le séchage initial, notamment le chauffage des pâtes, puis d'effectuer le séchage définitif de manière connue en soi, par exemple par portions. On peut toutefois effectuer tout le séchage, c'est-à-dire aussi bien le préséchage que le séchage définitif, notamment de pâtes courtes, selon l'invention. On peut sécher intensivement les pâtes alimentaires à des températures inhabituelles dans l'état antérieur de la technique, comprises entre 90 °C et 120 °C, notamment pendant le séchage définitif jusqu'à un taux d'humidité du produit égal à 15 % ou pouvant descendre jusqu'à moins de 13°. Il est en outre proposé de monter le dispositif de coupe des pâtes alimentaires allongées directement sur le moule, afin de couper des pâtes tant longues que courtes à leur longueur d'emballage. Si la longueur d'emballage des pâtes longues doit être précise, un deuxième dispositif de coupe peut être utilisé après le séchage, ce qui permet d'obtenir une installation très souple de production d'une large palette de produits, comprenant des pâtes très longues et très courtes.

Abstract: A first control data generating circuit (201) continuously controls the output light-amount of a light source (104) with respect to an optical disk (105) that has not been formatted. In contrast, a second control data generating circuit (202) controls the output light-amount of the light source (104) at each of a plurality of sectors with respect to an optical disk (105) that has been formatted. A discrimination circuit (106') discriminates whether or not the optical disk (105) has been formatted according to a detection of a header of each sector. According to a result of the discrimination of the circuit, a switch alley (103') switches controlling operations between the first light-amount controlling operation and the second light-amount controlling operation. The difference between those two types of controlling operations merely lies in whether timing for controlling the light amount is dependent on each sector or not. Therefore, independent of whether or not the optical disk has been formatted, the light-amount control device of the present invention makes it possible to determine an optimum output light-amount by using a similar controlling operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave waveguide with energy losses, produced from a block (1) of highly absorbent material, with large dielectric constant and large loss tangent, wherein is made a hole (2) whose shape and cross-sectional dimensions (a, b) depend on the constraints imposed for the guided propagation of a given wave, and whose depth (e) determines the energy losses. This waveguide can be used in any type of microwave circuit containing waveguides of all kinds, and can play, depending on its position in the circuit, the role of energy attenuator, insulator or even termination. Under these various roles, the waveguide of the invention offers the major advantages of having a length which, for a given attenuation, is much smaller than that of the existing waveguides, and of being simple to manufacture. <IMAGE>
