Abstract: A process for puffing vegetables, tuberous plants and pulses, is provided. The invention further provides the puffed vegetables, tuberous plants and pulses obtained. The process includes a drying and a puffing step. After drying the vegetables, tuberous plants and pulses are puffed. In practice, the vegetables, tuberous plants and/or pulses are puffed after drying on a belt dryer. The product to be puffed should expediently be blanched first and/or pre-soaked or steamed. The process according to the invention is particularly suitable for use on carrot slices, potato slices or potato cubes, pieces of celeriac, brown haricot beans, white haricot beans, green peas, yellow peas, red beans, kidney beans and lentils. Pre-drying leads to the formation of a dense surface layer which becomes porous during puffing, but does not lead to irregular formation and does not cause poor rehydration either. The drying time is of course dependent on the product to be dried and the moisture content. The product obtained is especially suited for use in instant food.

Abstract: A dual-chamber AV sequential pacemaker with the capability of automatically adjusting right heart AV interval to optimize left heart AV interval by compensating for pacing-induced inter-atrial and inter-ventricular conduction delays. Depending on the pacing and sensing action, as determined by the patient's native rate, the predetermined threshold rate and intrinsic AV interval, the pacemaker selects the AV interval. Right heart AV interval is adjusted to compensate for the heart's inter-atrial and inter-ventricular delays. Threshold values are previously estimated, using mean values measured using non-invasive techniques. The pacemaker has a dual phase operating mechanism consisting of an analysis phase followed by a pacing phase. The P wave rate is sensed and compared to a predetermined base rate. If the sensed P wave rate is above the baseline, atrial depolarizations will be sensed by the pacemaker and small number (default = 4) of consecutive native AV intervals will be averaged. If this average is less than a predetermined threshold value, the system will continue in the demand mode, sensing P and R waves. If the average is greater than said value, then the ventricle is paced for n number of times the analysis phase (default = 100 cycles), each followed by a short AV delay (Default = 50 ms) that is intended to compensate for the delay introduced in the onset of left ventricular depolarization after pacing the right ventricular apex. When P wave rate is below the predetermined rate, atrial pacing will occur. During the initial analysis phase, the pacemaker AV interval may be extended to a higher value, say 250 ms, to allow measurement of the native AV interval. At least four AV intervals will be averaged to compensate for possible Wenckebach phenomenon. If averaged AV is greater than, say 220 ms, sequential pacing with AV of 160 ms will take place for 100 cardiac cycles. If averaged native AV intervals are less than 220 ms, atrial pacing with ventricular sensing will be continued with the AV interval set at 250 ms for the next 100 cycles. At the end of either 100 cycle period, another 4-beat analyzing phase is started. Both pacemaker phases (analysis and pacing) are programmable. The 4/100 cycle sequence allows rapid pacing mode corrections under situations such as intermittent block due to exercise or other causes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: ClO2 is produced efficiently by the redn. of NaClO3 in an aq. medium. The reaction is carried out at the b.pt. under reduced pressure. Pref. HClO3 and HCl react with consumption of Cl- and formation of HClO, which is reduced to Cl- by MeOH. If HClO is produced more quickly than it is consumed, it reacts with HCl to form Cl2. This hampers prodn. of ClO2 and also contaminates the prod.. Lower acidity with higher ClO3- concn. controls the rate of HClO formation. The concn. of acid (H2SO4) is below 7 N (above 5 N) and that of ClO3- is 2-6 (2.5-4) M. Partic. concns. used are mutually dependent. NaHSO4.Na2SO4 is obtd. as a by-prod.. MeOH consumption is approx. 0.2 (0.13-0.16) tons per ton of ClO2 produced; the latter is admixed with steam. The efficiency of ClO2 prodn. is at least 90% (exceeds 95%).

Date Apr. 16, 1992.Feedstuff is compacted in a tube which lies on the ground by a mobile device which includes a traction vehicle, a trailer unit, and a rotatable feeding screw mounted at the rear of the trailer unit for feeding feedstuff from a container into the tube where it is compacted. The screw is rotated by a hydraulic motor which is driven by hydraulic fluid at a pressure which is proportional to loading of the feeding screw due to compaction of feedstuff by the screw. A brake system brakes the wheels of the trailer unit to produce a braking force while the feedstuff is being fed into the tube. A control unit controls the brake system in response to signals from a transducer which senses the hydraulic pressure at the motor. The braking force is reduced when the sensed hydraulic pressure rises to a predetermined maximum value, and the braking force is increased when the sensed hydraulic pressure decreases to a predetermined minimum value.

The apparatus (10) includes an inclined trough (12) which is supplied with either a fluidization medium, such as sand, or a mixture of articles (22) from which a fluidized bed is formed by forcing gas upwardly therethrough and through the bottom of the trough (12). Where a fluidization medium is used, the mixture of articles (22) is introduced into the fluidized bed medium so as to be entrained therewith to effect separation as the articles travel in the direction of flow of the fluidized bed medium. Essentially only vertical oscillatory movement is imparted to the trough to improve the separation and layering where the mixture is fluidized, or to improve the density uniformity where a fluidization medium is fluidized as the bed.

Abstract: A method and system to immediately connect and reswitch connection configurations through a rearrangeable communications matrix that immediately connects an input gate causing rearrangeably blocked condition through the communications matrix to an output gate through a dedicated or extra switching element of the center. With the rearrangeably blocked condition, the method and system select a set of switching elements pairs from the center stage switches to form a plurality of possible connections from the input gates to the output gates that excludes the dedicated switching element. The method and system then determines from the possible connections a minimum rearrangement connection configuration that excludes the dedicated switch and that requires the minimum number of rearrangements of existing communications matrix connections. Then, the invention reswitches the matrix according to the minimum rearrangement connection configuration while maintaining all signal flow from the input gates to the output gates while removing connections through the dedicated switching element.
