Abstract: An apparatus for determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties of a viscoelastic material includes means for imparting a torsional stress in a viscoelastic material; means for measuring the relaxation of the torsional stress over time and converting the relaxation stress to a representative waveform; and processing means for determining the frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties of the material based on the shape of a portion of the waveform. Preferably, the processing means includes a first dedicated processor for producing a digital representation of the waveform and a second general processor, such as an IBM compatible microcomputer for determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties from a portion of the digital representation. To facilitate automating the determination of the fundamental viscoelastic properties of the test material, the first processor examines the waveform and aborts the determination if the digital waveform is atypical of an expected waveform for a viscoelastic material subjected to a torsional stress. A method of determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties of a viscoelastic material includes the steps of imparting a torsional stress in a viscoelastic material; measuring the relaxation of the torsional stress over time and converting the relaxation stress to a representative analog waveform; digitizing the representative analog waveform to produce a representative digital waveform; and, determining the frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties of the material based on the shape of a portion of the representative digital waveform. To facilitate automating the method, the shape of the waveform may be analyzed to detect the start of a test, the end of the test, and whether the test is a valid test. Preferably, the fundamental viscoelastic properties of the test material are determined by converting the torque based amplitudes of the waveform to shear relaxation modulus values, such as by multiplying the torque amplitudes by the geometric form factor of the test material, and then by transforming the shear stress modulus values to frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties through the known Yagii/Maekawa approximation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for distinguishing between a full thickness and a partial thickness skin burn in a patient having a skin burn. The methods includes administering a fluorescent compound, which is excited by infrared light, to the patient to cause the compound to enter one or more capillaries below and adjacent the skin burn. The compound is then excited with infrared light, and the amount of fluorescence of the compound caused by the infrared light detected at the skin burn and at unburned skin adjacent the skin burn. The ratio of fluorescence detected at the skin burn and at the unburned skin is an indication of the thickness of the skin burn, e.g., a ratio of less than 0.4 indicates a full thickness skin burn.

Abstract: Coffee aroma gases are conveyed to a cryogenic collector in which liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly into the aroma gas stream to rapidly condense the aroma gas and form finely divided particles of coffee aroma frost suspended in a stream of nitrogen gas, while minimizing contact of the cooled gas with the walls of the collector. The suspension of aroma frost particles in gaseous nitrogen is passed through a tubular porous filter to remove the aroma frost particles which collect on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the nitrogen gas passing through the porous filter and being exhausted from the collector. The porous filter is periodically back pulsed to dislodge aroma frost particles collected on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the particles being recovered for incorporation in soluble coffee products. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Synthesis gas production comprising primary catalytic steam reforming (20) a first stream (c) of desulphurised hydrocarbon feedstock, optionally followed by secondary reforming using an oxygen-containing gas, and then cooling; adiabatically low temperature steam reforming (76) a second stream (u) of the feedstock, preferably adding a hydrogen-containing gas (v), and then subjecting the product to partial oxidation (82) with an oxygen-containing gas, and then cooling; and mixing the cooled products. For methanol production, the partial oxidation step pressure may be greater than the primary reforming pressure, and the hydrogen-containing gas is taken from the methanol synthesis loop: if the partial oxidation step is non-catalytic and in the absence of steam, the pre-reforming stage can be omitted. Methanol can be synthesised from the reformed first and/or second streams in an auxiliary synthesis stage at an intermediate pressure before the relevant stream is added to the synthesis loop.
