Filed: 2001-11-23
Granted: 2006-03-21
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrochemical cell having plate electrodes housed inside mating "clam shell" casing components. When mated together, the casing components are form-fitting with respect to the internal battery structure so as to reduce the overall size of the electrochemical package.      A one piece header containing both a glass-to-metal seal opening for a terminal lead and an electrolyte fill opening is used in conjunction with the clam shell casing.

Title: Improved process for mozzarella cheese
Inventor: THAKAR HIREN H
IPC: A23C19/00
Filed: 2002-01-09
Granted: 2010-06-15
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved process of producing natural mozzarella cheese. The process starts with a liquid dairy substrate that is cultured and coagulated. The resulting curd is cut and salted. The resulting curd (i.e., base curd) may be frozen or refrigerated and stored until needed. Once needed, the stored base curd is ground and treated in a blender where it is partially standardized to form a "partially standardized base curd." The partially standardized base curd is then cooked in a cooker or cooker/stretcher (preferably in a lay-down cooker) where standardization is completed by the addition of a cultured or uncultured skim milk retentate. No emulsifying salts are used in the cooker/stretcher. The cheese mass is then rapidly cooled to produce the mozzarella cheese. The conventional brine cooling step normally used in mozzarella cheese production is not used in the present invention. In an especially preferred embodiment, starch is also added to the standardized, cooked, stretched mozzarella prior to the cooling step. Such starch is typically added at a level of up to about 10 percent of the finished product and, more preferably, at a level of about 0.1 to about 2 percent. The added starch serves to bind the moisture in the product and results in a firmer cheese which is easier to shred.

Title: Novel inhibitors of formation of advanced glycation endproducts (ages)
Inventor: RAHBAR SAMUEL
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2002-03-06
Granted: 2010-11-23
Abstract: The nonenzymatic glycation and crosslinking of proteins is a part of the aging process with the glycation endproducts and crosslinking of long-lived proteins increasing with age. This process is increased at elevated concentrations of reducing sugars in the blood and in the intracellular environment such as occurs with diabetes. The structural and functional integrity of the affected molecules become perturbed by these modifications and can result in severe consequences. The compounds of the present invention can be used to inhibit this process of nonenzymatic glycation and therefore to inhibit some of the ill effects caused by diabetes or by aging. The compounds are also useful for preventing premature aging, spoilage of proteins in food and can prevent discoloration of teeth.

Abstract: A new shaped activated carbon and the method of its manufacture are disclose d. The invention resides in the crosslinking of a polymeric cellulose, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), within the carbon bodies after they are shaped, employing the CMC as a binder for the activated carbon. The approach to attain product mechanical strength and water stability by crosslinking rather than high temperature heat treatment is not obvious from the prior ar t teaching. The crosslinking reaction occurs at temperatures below 270 ~C. In addition, this new binder technology produces shaped carbon bodies having ke y properties beyond the best level that has been accomplished with other binde rs.
