Abstract: Butterlike spread not containing a substantial amount of butter fat which is  prepared starting from a concentrated vegetable fat cream. The surface avera ge size (D3,2) of the fat droplets of the cream being 3-7 .mu.m ensures stabili ty of the supercooled cream, so that it enters with a substantially liquid fat phase the inversion unit, whereafter the major part of the fat crystallizes after the emulsion has left the inversion unit and preferably under quiescen t conditions. The cream is processed in a spread production line which compris es a device for making a O/W-emulsion with the necessary small fat droplets, a pasteurizer, a tubular heat exchanger and, as sole working, a cavity transfe r mixer, which brings about the inversion.

Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: Au cours des trente premiers jours de leur vie, les nouveau-nés sont particulièrement sensibles aux pathogènes car leur système immunitaire n'est alors pas totalement fonctionnel. Les adultes peuvent être parfois sensibles aux pathogènes lorsque leur système immunitaire a été compromis par la maladie ou lorsqu'ils ont été exposés à un bolus de pathogènes gastro-intestinaux. L'invention traite aussi d'un procédé permettant d'immuniser les nouveau-nés et les adultes aux pathogènes en leur administrant par voie orale des bactéries probiotiques de recombinaison qui expriment les anticorps par rapport aux antigènes. Ces bactéries de recombinaison peuvent être éventuellement administrées avec des anticorps présentant une immunité spécifique par rapport aux pathogènes. L'invention concerne aussi une composition de bactéries probiotiques de recombinaison qui expriment les anticorps par rapport aux pathogènes, et un procédé d'utilisation de cette composition pour immuniser les nouveau-nés et les adultes.

IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: Wireless communications for frequency-selective fading channels is realized by employing a system including orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in combination with an at least two antenna transmit diversity arrangement. Specifically, OFDM converts a multipath channel into a plurality of narrowband subchannels each having flat. fading. Then, the signals on the same frequency subchannels of the at least two antennas are grouped together. Considering a first frequency subchannel, during a first OFDM time interval, a first signal and a second signal are transmitted on the first frequency subchannel from a first antenna (0) and from a second antenna (1), respectively. During a second OFDM time interval, a reverse sign (-) complex conjugate of the second signal and a complex conjugate of the first signal are transmitted from the first antenna and the second antenna, respectively. In a specific embodiment of the invention, reduced complexity in the implementation is realized by a reverse order complex conjugate and a reverse order, reverse sign (-) complex conjugate and judicious selection of the processed data signals in order to transmit the appropriate ones of the signals during the first and second OFDM intervals.  Again, if the channel remains constant over the two OFDM intervals, diversity combination is realized for each frequency subchannel. In another embodiment of the invention, antenna-group hopping is employed in conjunction with pairing in time of the OFDM frequency subchannel signals to realize increased transmit diversity without rate loss.

Title: Apparatus and method for yc separation and three-line correlation detection
Inventor: TAKETANI NOBUO
IPC: H04N9/78
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for YC separation and three-line correlation detection with high accuracy, which allow the YC separator to generate reliable Y signals. The correlation detecting apparatus includes a sub-correlation detector. The detector checks input signals for the presence or absence of vertical correlation, and provides the signals with a judgment "high-correlation exists" or "otherwise". According to the judgment, the correlation detecting apparatus changes the process i) when accepted the judgment "high-correlation exists", the apparatus determines the judgment to be reliable and adopts it as the output, ii) when accepted "otherwise", the apparatus increases its detecting accuracy and provides the signals with multi-leveled outputs according to the correlation levels. In this way, the main apparatus switches the detecting mode according to the result from sub-correlation detector, with the detecting accuracy greatly improved. This also allows the YC separator to flexibly cope with input signals.
