Title: Apparatus and methods of stuffing food casings to provide dimensionally uniform products
Inventor: STANLEY THOMAS R
IPC: A22C11/02
Filed: 1988-01-12
Granted: 1991-11-12
Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHODS OF STUFFING FOOD CASINGS     TO PROVIDE DIMENSIONALLY UNIFORM PRODUCTS     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    Apparatus and methods for stuffing rood casing to produce sausage products with a high degree of dimensional uniformity for prepackaging applications.   Substantially flat terminal end portions for higher product yields are prepared by a stuffing sequence which includes a time delay from shut down of the meat pump to actuation of the end-closure device.  The length of the delay in actuating the end-closure device is dependent on the time required for pressure in the stuffing horn to dissipate after shut-down of the meat pump.  Substantially flat terminal ends may also be made by introdcing a time delay from actuation of the end-closure device to removal of the sizing ring from the end of the horn so that the length of the delay is also directly proportional to the viscosity of the meat emulsion.

Title: Crf analog conjugates
Inventor: VALE WYLIE W JR
IPC: C07K14/575
Filed: 1988-06-21
Granted: 1995-04-11
Abstract: Agonists and antagonists of rCRF are disclosed that exhibit good binding affinity to CRF receptors.  One exemplary agonist is:  H-Ser-Gln-Glu-Pro-Pro-Ile-Ser-Leu-Asp-Leu-Thr-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Arg-Glu-Met-Leu-Glu-Met-Ala-Arg-Ala-Glu-Gln-Glu-Ala-Glu-Gln-Ala-Ala-Leu-Asn-Arg-Leu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Glu-Ala-NH2. In the agonists, one or more of the first five N-terminal residues may be deleted or may be substituted by a peptide up to 10 amino acids long.  A number of other substitutions may also be made throughout the chain.  Similar peptides which function as CRF antagonists are created by deleting the first 7, 8 or 9 N-terminal residues.  These analogs are coupled to a cytotoxin, such as gelonin, by a dialdehyde or the like, e.g., glutaraldehyde.  The conjugates may be used to eliminate CRF Target Cells, and thus to regulate secretion of ACTH, .beta.-lipotropin and the like.  Such conjugates can also be administered to alleviate conditions associated with hyperactivity of the hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal axis as well as neoplastic diseases associated with tumors that express CRF receptor.

Abstract: OPTICAL DEVICE WITH DIELECTRIC HEATING Abstract of the Disclosure In an optical device containing material which is dielectric wherein the device is switchable between an inactive relatively opaque state and an activated relatively transparent state in response to the application of a driving electric field of sufficiently low frequency, a problem may arise in that the switching time between the inactive-opaque state and the activated-transparent state is increased and/or the light transmissivity in the activated-transparent state is decreased when the device is at a relatively low temperature.  This problem is alleviated by applying a heating electric field of sufficiently high frequency as to heat the dielectric material while not switching the device to the activated-transparent state thereby raising the temperature of the device to decrease the switching time between the inactive-opaque state and the activated-transparent state and/or to increase the light transmissivity in the activated-transparent state.  The dielectric material may be a polymer film containing dispersed liquid crystal droplets.
