Title: Method of control of microorganism growth process
Inventor: HUNTLEY MARK E
IPC: C12R1/89
Filed: 1995-07-21
Granted: 1998-11-05
Abstract: A control method for operating aqueous microorganism growth processes is disclosed which can maintain viable growth conditions for many types of microorganisms which have heretofore not been easily reproduced in commercially valuable quantities. The primary control parameters are the degree of turbulence in the aqueous growth medium and the scale of the apparatus relative to the scale of the turbulent eddies in vessels which are partially filled with the aqueous medium directly affect conditions which are required for optimum growth: light exposure, nutrient supply, sedimentation rate, bulk temperature, gas exchange rate and cell integrity. These control elements can be cast in terms of the Reynolds number (NRe) and controlled dimensions of the apparatus (LK) in relationship to the scales of turbulent eddies to define the dissipation  lambda K as LK/L. Alternatively, these can be recognized to show that the delivery of nutrients to the microorganism mass is dependent upon the dissipation rate  epsilon  in the fluid, which allows a definition of Lk to be quantified. The broadest ranges generally useful in this invention are NRe=2000 to 106, preferably 4000 to 250,000; apparatus scale relative to eddy scale is such that the level of fluid in the reaction chamber relative to eddy scale is 10-1:1 preferably 10-1.2:1; and turbulent energy dissipation rate  epsilon  between 10-3 and 10 W/kg. The invention is particularly useful in controlling growth processes in which the microorganisms are unicellular algae, phytoplankton, issues of vascular plants, tissues of macroalgae, and the like.

Title: Methods of and apparatus for laying turf
Inventor: CASIMATY GABRIEL
IPC: E01C19/20
Filed: 1995-11-06
Granted: 1999-07-08
Abstract: An apparatus, and related method, for laying sand and/or a sand reinforcement matrix onto a pre-prepared surface, includes an apparatus having a hopper for providing a matrix to be laid, a plunger at the forward end, in the sense of direction of movement of the apparatus, of the hopper and an element for reciprocating the plunger for taking material from the hopper and delivering it through an extrusion aperture in the rear thereof to an extrusion mold. The extrusion is effected by moving forwardly as pressure is applied to the matrix to be extruded and as the mold passes over the matrix. The extrusion of a sand, or a sand reinforcement, is compacted in the extrusion by using the weight of the apparatus against which the extrusion plunger acts together with the impaction of previously extruded material. The plunger moves forwardly so that material in the hopper can fall in front of the plunger; the plunger is moved rearwardly causing this material to move into the extrusion mold until compaction commences to take place, at which time compaction is increased until the pressure on the plunger is sufficient to physically cause the apparatus to move.

Title: Coating method
Inventor: NISHII HIROYUKI
IPC: B05D7/24
Filed: 1993-04-27
Granted: 1995-10-05
Abstract: A coating method characterized in that, when the surfaces of solid particles kept flowing are spray-coated with thermally melted wax, a two-fluid nozzle adapted to mix thermally melted wax with a heating gas in and eject the resultant mixture from one flow passage and eject the heating gas from the other is used, the two-fluid nozzle having spray ports the diameter of which is in the range of 1.5 - 5.8 mm, the two-fluid nozzle having no needle valves. According to this method, the use of an organic solvent for melting wax is omitted, and complicated operations for pulverizing wax and thermally melting wax powder after it has been deposited on solid particles are not required. This method also prevents the clogging of the nozzle, the powdering of melted wax and the forming of agglomerated particles of wax, and permits simple and easy production of sustained release medicine and medicine for masking materials of unpleasant and bitter tastes.
