Abstract: Described is a method for effectively separating bacteria and bacterial spores from milk, wherein microfiltration using a thin membrane filter with pores of a precisely determined size and a smooth membrane surface is applied with low casein retention. Higher flux levels are herein reached than reported in the use of known microfilters, while it is not necessary to skim the milk beforehand. Sterilized milk with an improved taste and pasteurized milk with an improved shelf-life an/or taste are also obtained.

Abstract: A bumper comprises a hat beam (11) adapted to have its crown directed towards the vehicle body, a cover (20) attached to the side flanges (17, 18) of the hat beam and having a longitudinal recess (21) that extends into the hat beam, and an energy absorbing foamed body (22) that fills out the recess and extends with its major part out of the recess. If the foamed body widens out over the side flanges (17, 18) of the hat beam, these widened parts (25) should have recesses (31) that prevent these parts from being fully compacted before the part therebetween is compacted if the bumper hits a pedestrian's leg. A closed cross-section beam having a longitudinal recess can also be employed in the present invention.

Abstract: The invention refers to an absorbent article (10) such as a sanitary napkin, where said article comprises an elongate absorbent core (12) delimited by an upper surface (14) and a lower surface (16). A pair of opposed longitudinal edge portions (18, 20) terminates in longitudinal edges (22, 24), and a pair of opposed transverse edges (26, 28). Said core has a first end portion (30), a second end portion (32) and a central portion (34) located between said end portions. A liquid permeable topsheet (36) extends over said upper surface (14), and a liquid barrier backsheet (42) covers said lower surface (16) of said absorbent core (12). Barrier strips (46, 48), each strip covering a respective longitudinal edge portion (18, 20) forms liquid-retaining pockets (64, 66) along each longitudinal edge portion. A pair of longitudinal elastic members (50, 52) is arranged along said barrier strips (46, 48) that are placed along each longitudinal edge portion (18, 20) of said absorbent core in at least said central portion (34) of said absorbent core. The invention is characterized in that the elastic members (50, 52) include spacing means (60) arranged at a distance from each other along the length of the elastic members (50, 52) to create fluid conducting channels (62).

Abstract: Aluminum alloy compositions are disclosed, which include small amounts of calcium that result in improved surface properties of the cast aluminum. The calcium, and up to 0.25% grain refiners, are added along with alkaline earth metals, transition metals and/or rare earth metals to the aluminum alloy as a melt. The addition results in improved appearance, substantially reduced surface imperfections and reduced surface oxidation in cast ingot aluminum and aluminum alloys. The addition of small amounts of these additives, surprisingly were found to substantially eliminate vertical folds, pits and ingot cracking in more than one ingot casting technique. The additions also improved the appearance of the ingots, including reflectance. As a result, the ingots could be reduced or worked essentially right out of the casting without first conditioning the surface by, for example, scalping. Also disclosed is a method of improving the surface properties and preventing surface imperfections and cracking of cast aluminum alloys. The method includes the steps of adding calcium to a molten aluminum alloy that is essentially free of Be casting the aluminum alloy using any commonly used technique.

Abstract: Method to perform link adaptation at the radio interfaces of an enhanced packet data cellular network handling several Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) for maximizing data throughput. In a preliminary off-line step behavior in terms of net throughput of the various available MCSs is simulated for different C/I conditions. From the simulation two sets of tables are obtained, each table including upgrade and downgrade thresholds expressed in terms of Block Error Rate (BLER). Thresholds correspond to switching points from an MCS to the two available MCSs having the immediate less or more protection. The two sets of tables are referred to higher or lower diversity RF environments and are further specialized for taking into account EGPRS type II hybrid ARQ, namely Incremental Redundancy (IR). During transmission the transmitted blocks are checked for FEC and the results are sent to the network. The network continuously updates BLER using exponential smoothing. In order to achieve the correct time response, in spite of that RLC blocks can be received or not, a reliability filter is provided whose output is used to decide the weight between the new and old measurements to make the BLER filter impulse response exponentially decreasing with time. The IR efficiency is tested for each incoming block and an indicative variable IR_status is filtered using the same approach used for BLER. Each actual threshold of BLER to be used in link adaptation is obtained by a linear interpolation between the tabulated threshold without IR and with perfect IR, both weighed with filtered IR_status. Filtered BLER is then compared with said interpolated thresholds for testing the incoming of a MCS switching condition. Power control pursues the goal of maintaining constant QoS peak throughput per time slot. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for purifying electrical filter ash from chlorides, in particular, by means of leaching and subsequently separating off crystallized substance, which crystallized substance is returned to the process for forming black liquor. A good separation of solid phase in the form of crystalline Na2S04 is obtained by means of a repeated gentle agitation of slurried electrical filter ash in a leaching tank with a total dwell time of between 1 and 5 hours, directly followed by centrifugation of the leached electrical filter ash. The solid phase is supplied to the black liquor prior to final evaporation and/or recovery in the recovery boiler. More than 70 % of the chloride content in the electrical filter ash and 70 % of the potassium content are efficiently leached out, and an improved utilization of process chemicals is obtained.

Abstract: A process for the production of water-soluble pouches. The process comprises the steps of drawing a first film into a mould to form a first compartment, adding composition to the first compartment, drawing a second film into the mould to form a second compartment which comprises a composition and, preferably, sealing. The first film is perforated and the second film is drawn into the mould by means of suction applied through the first film. This eliminates the need to align separately formed pouches or containers. This also reduces the total amount of film needed to produce a multi-compartment pouch. Furthermore, it is very easy to vary the film material used according to what properties are desired. Since the different compartments may require different properties this adds flexibility to the process. Process particularly suited for the production of water soluble pouches such as cleaning or fabric care pouches.
