Patent EP-0473839-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HARWOOD JON W
IPC: F01N1/08
Filed: 1990-12-06
Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a muffler (30) formed from a plurality of stamped components (32,34,36,38). The stamped components (32,34,36,38) include at least a pair of plates (32,34) formed to define an array of tubes (58a-d) therein. The tubes (58a-d) include a plurality of unidirectional flow tubes each of which carries a portion of the exhaust gas flowing through the muffler. The plurality of unidirectional flow tubes (58a-d) communicate with an in-line expansion chamber (54,64) defined within the muffler (30). The in-line expansion chamber (54,64) enables exhaust gas flowing from the unidirectional flow tubes (58a-d) to expand significantly thereby contributing to noise attenuation. The muffler (30) may further include at least one external shell (36,38) defining a chamber (76,82) which communicates with the tubes or the in-line expansion chamber (54,64).

Abstract: In a device for feeding cans to a continuous sterilizer provided with a moving chain with can holders for guiding cans through the steriliser, the cans are supplied in measured quantities according to the capacity of the sterilizer on a can supply belt (10). A counting device (14, 18) disposed near the end of the can supply belt counts out a predetermined number of cans from the supplied cans repeatedly at intervals and forms them into a group (16). The number of cans counted out per unit time is greater than the number of cans supplied per unit time, so that an interval arises between the groups of cans (16). The groups of cans are placed on an intermediate belt (15) for conveying the groups of cans to an insertion device (11a), which places the groups of cans in the can holders of the sterilizer. The number of cans in each group is such that the can holders are always optimally filled.

IPC: C07D301/08
Filed: 1990-01-24
Abstract: An alkane, e.g. propane, is converted to an alkene in a catalytic dehydrogenator. The resulting stream is introduced into an ammoxidation or oxidation reactor. The product formed therein is recovered in a conventional quench tower. The pressure of the gaseous effluent from the quench tower is raised and it is introduced into an absorber/stripper unit employing a liquid hydrocarbon to form a recycle stream containing unreacted alkane and alkene as well as a minor amount of oxygen, typically 1% percent by volume, and a waste stream comprising the remainder of the quench tower gaseous phase. The recycle stream is introduced into a selective oxidation unit to remover the oxygen therefrom and then recycled to the dehydrogenator. Flammability of the waste stream from the absorber/stripper is minimised by appropriately selecting the operating parameters of the process, and if necessary, by the addition thereto of a gaseous flame suppressor. The gaseous flame suppressor is removed with the absorber/stripper unit waste stream which may advantageously be combusted to provide energy for the process. A PSA unit may be utilised to remove excess hydrogen from the dehydrogenator effluent. The dehydrogenator may be a multistage dehydrogenator making it possible to do without the selective oxidation unit.

Title: Protection of growing crops from pathogens by treatment with enzymes
Inventor: KOLATTUKUDY PAPPACHAN E
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1990-10-26
Abstract: A method is disclosed for protecting a growing crop from pathogens comprising applying to the growing crop and to any pathogen present thereon a compound capable of generating an active oligomer elicitor in the crop or the pathogen. The compound is applied with a penetrating agent which aids in the entry of the compound into the cuticle layer of the growing crop or the pathogen. The elicitor is generated in the crop or the pathogen in an amount effective to elicit production in the crop of an anti-pathogenic agent. When the elicitor is generated in a pathogen present on the harvested crop, the elicitor is generated in sufficient amount to transfer into the crop, which transfer may be aided by the presence of said penetrating agent, in order to produce the desired phytoalexins in the harvested crop. Also disclosed is a composition comprising the above compound and a penetrating agent for the compound as well as a growing crop treated with the above composition.
