Title: A method for the preparation of popped cereal products enriched with vitamins, mineral nutrients and/or trace elements
Inventor: LEMKE STEFAN
IPC: A23L7/183
Filed: 1996-12-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing popped grain products enriched with vitamins, minerals and/or trace elements, especially popcorn.  Before or during popping of the raw grain kernels a predetermined amount of vitamins and/or minerals and/or trace elements dissolved or dispersed for themselves alone or in a suitable carrier substance are placed in a suitable container in which the raw grain kernels are already located.   The added micronutrients are heat treated together with the grain kernels for 1 to 5 minutes at a temperature from 130 to 280°C,  or with microwaves at 400 to 1500 watts, at least most of the amount of micronutrients used being absorbed by the popping grain kernels and being uniformly distributed in them, so that a ready-to-eat popcorn product enriched with micronutrients is obtained.

Patent CA-2195186-A1 (CA)
Title: Systems and methods for estimating platelet counts
Inventor: BROWN RICHARD I
IPC: A61M1/02
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: Systems and methods take into account that the spleen normally holds a number of platelets in reserve out of circulation. During blood procesing, the spleen releases these platelets into the donor's circulatory system, making them available for collection. The systems and methods estimate the number of platelets N SPLEEN held in reserve by the spleen in a human body. The systems and methods derive a splenic mobilization function Spleen, which can be expressed as a function of a precount of platelets Plt PRE. The systems and methods estimate N SPLEEN where: N SPLEEN = Spleen-1 x Plt PRE x DonVol where DonVol is blood volume in the body. The systems and methods can also estimate the total number of platelets N PLT in a human body, taking the Spleen function into account, where: N PLT = Plt PRE x Spleen x DonVol.

Patent CA-2207413-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALLNER FELIX
IPC: C21B11/00
Filed: 1996-10-08
Abstract: The process is used for producing molten pig iron or liquid steel pre-products, from particulate iron-oxide-containing material by fluidization. The iron-oxide-containing material is prereduced in at least one prereduction stage (7) by aid of a reducing gas and subsequently is reduced to sponge iron in a final reduction stage (8), the sponge iron is melted in a meltdown-gasifying zone (11) under the supply of carbon carriers and an oxygen--containing gas, and a CO- and H2- containing reducing gas is produced which is introduced into the final reduction stage (8), is reacted there, is drawn off, subsequently is introduced into the prereduction stage (7), is reacted there, is drawn off, subjected to scrubbing and subsequently is carried off as an export gas and wherein at least a portion of the reacted reducing gas is purified from CO2, is heated and is used as a recycle-reducing gas for the reduction of the iron-oxide-containing material. To ensure reduction while avoiding the occurrence of "sticking", while also minimizing the amount of carbon carriers charged, a portion of the reducing gas flowing from the final reduction stage (8) into the prereduction stage (7) is branched off, washed, purified from CO2 and heated and subsequently is recycled to the final reduction stage (8).

Abstract: A device for puncturing aerosol cans has an enclosure having an aerosol can receiving cavity therein, an aerosol can cradle, for supporting aerosol cans, mounted within the aerosol can receiving cavity, and an aerosol can puncturing mechanism mounted within the aerosol can receiving cavity. The aerosol can cradle and the aerosol can puncturing mechanism are mounted in sliding cooperation wherein a selectively rotatable cam member is selectively rotatable by rotation of a handle, rotatably mounted to the enclosure, in a first direction of rotation. Rotation of the handle in the first direction slidingly engages the aerosol cans held in the aerosol can cradle in puncturing engagement with the puncturing pins on the aerosol can puncturing mechanism. Rotation of the handle in a second direction, removes the puncturing mechanism from puncturing engagement from the cans.

IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1996-06-03
Abstract: A pneumatically-operated gas demand apparatus coupled in interruptible fluid communication between a recipient and a first source of a pressurized first gas controls delivery of the first gas to the recipient and comprises a supply valve and a sensing valve. The supply valve has a first interior chamber divided by a flexible first diaphragm into supply and control chamber regions.

Inventor: SHEARISS SUSAN C
IPC: C08F2/50
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The disclosed method for making hollow shells (e.g. housing for in-ear hearing aids) employs a radiation-curable polymer comprising (a) a major amount of urethane methacrylate monomer (molecular weight 360-950) having a viscosity less than about 15,000 cps at 25 ~C, (b) a viscosity-adjusting minor amount of unreacted hydroxyalkyl-methacrylate monomer, (c) a photoinitiating amount of a photoinitiator of the formula Ar1-CO-C(OR)2-R', where Ar1 is aryl (e.g.  phenyl), R is C1-C4-alkyl (e.g. methyl), and R' is hydrogen or alkyl or, preferably, aryl, and, optionally, (d) a coloring agent, e.g. a pigment concentrate. Viscosity control is of major importance; so the curable composition is generally solvent-free and free of viscosity-modifying solids (other than coloring agents). Acrylates (as distinct from methacrylates) are also omitted. The fully-formulated, curable composition is easily pourable and has a viscosity of less than about 2,000 cps. The hollow shells are made by:  A. pouring the curable composition into the mold cavity of a translucent mold, B. exposing all but the top surface of the mold to 200-450 nm light (e.g. UV  light of 200 to 350 nm), until a solid layer < 3 mm in thickness has formed, and C. pouring out the uncured material. The thin, solid layer is then preferably subjected to a second radiation cure until the layer is toughened by cross-linking.
