Patent EP-0819874-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GRUNDBY MATTIAS
IPC: F15B13/042
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: A valve device (1) for fluid flow control includes two
independent valves comprising two movable valve bodies (4,5)
within two valve spaces (V1,V2), wherein each valve body is
controllable against the force of a return spring (7,8) acting
thereon. The invention is distinguished in
     that the valve spaces (V1,V2) are located axially with respect
to each other in one common housing (2,3),   that the housing between the two valve spaces is provided with
an essentially fixed separating means (6) against which the two
return springs are resting,   that the housing comprises a common discharge channel (11)
which communicates with the two valve spaces, and   that the device comprises a double one-way valve function
(9,10) in the area of the discharge channel in order to prevent
unintentional flow actuation resulting from overflow between the
valve spaces.

Abstract: A process for the isolation of desired compound(s) from a microbial biomass is diclosed, wherein the microbial biomass (which, if necessary, is pretreated to give a dry matter content of from 25 to 80 %) is granulated (e.g. by extrusion) and then dried to a dry matter content of at least 80 %. The granulation of the biomass to granules significantly eases subsequent drying of the biomass (which can be stored as dried granules) and gives higher yields on extraction of the compound(s).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes de traitement de transactions financières. Un mode de réalisation préféré d'un procédé consiste à produire une image optique balayée, d'une partie au moins d'un document contenant des données visuelles, dans un format particulier, représentant des informations relatives à la transaction financière. Les caractéristiques de reconnaissance sont produites à partir de l'image balayée et sont comparées à des ensembles respectifs de caractéristiques de reconnaissance de référence, produits à partir d'autres documents de transaction présentant des formats différents, de façon à déterminer à partir de ceux-ci si le format particulier des données visuelles correspond à l'un des formats des autres documents. Lorsque cette correspondance existe, on détermine une localisation d'un champ dans l'image balayée auquel on applique une reconnaissance de caractères optiques, de façon à produire à partir de ceux-ci les informations, d'après le format correspondant au format particulier des données visuelles. On utilise ensuite la reconnaissance de caractères optiques de façon à produire des données visuelles à partir de ladite localisation.
