Abstract: A process for removing ions of dissolved heavy metals and complex heavy metals comprises provides a treatment zone in which is contained an extraction material having an activated surface that has an affinity for heavy metal ions and complex heavy metal ions. The activated surface is the reaction product of a polyamine with a covalently anchored trifunctional hydrocarbyl silyl that yields non-crosslinked amino groups to which functional chelator groups can be covalently attached. The activated surface of the extraction material is formed by first hydrating the extraction material surface and then silanizing the hydrated surface with a short chain trifunctional silane having a hydrocarbon substituent containing 1-6 carbon atoms and a terminal leaving group, and then reacting a polyamine with the hydrocarbylsilyl from the silanization of the hydrated surface so as to form an aminohydrocarbyl polymer covalently bound to the extraction material surface. The extraction material surface yields amino groups that are available for bonding to chelator groups. As thus formed, the polymer may be alkylated with a carboxyl or sulfur containing alkylating reagent on at least some of the amino groups to enhance and specialize the chelating ability of the extraction material's activated surface.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of a starch ester, in particular a starch acetate, wherein a starch-based feedstock is reacted with an organic carboxylic acid anhydride in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction of the starch-based feedstock and the anhydride is performed at an excess pressure of about 0.1 to 50 bar in an essentially anhydrous medium containing 10% by weight of water at the most. As catalyst, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide or sulphuric acid is used, and as the reaction medium, acetic acid or excess acetanhydride is used. By means of the invention, the duration of the esterification reaction can be significantly shortened, the separation of the product can be facilitated, and the recirculation of the waste solutions can be rendered more efficient.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the treatment, such as anaesthetization or killing, of poultry by using gas. The gas comprises oxygen and carbon dioxide, among other components. During the treatment, the oxygen concentration is kept constant at a normal level (18-22 vol. %). This is important as it allows the poultry to breathe normally while the natural body functions can be maintained in their normal state until anaesthetization takes place. The concentration of carbon dioxide is increased either continuously or discontinuously. Accordingly, it is possible to anaesthetize poultry before slaughter in a way which produces low levels of stress and discomfort in the poultry while, at the same time, the quality of the meat is better than with the use of traditional methods. In the apparatus, the poultry are exposed to the gas in a chamber (1). The apparatus may include a belt conveyor (5) and can be separated into three treatment zones (2, 3 and 4).

Abstract: An ironing table having an ironing board which possesses at one end two sections extending side by side, approximately in one plane, specifically a clothes ironing section and a sleeve ironing section narrower than the latter, the two sections being separated from one another by a gap. The gap extends approximately to the height of the center of the ironing board, the clothes ironing section admittedly having the width of a conventional ironing board, so that the overall width of the ironing board in the region of the clothes ironing section and sleeve ironing section is greater than the width of a conventional ironing board. In addition, the longitudinal side of the ironing board assigned to the sleeve ironing section extends from approximately the center of the ironing board to the other end of the ironing board, so that the width of this end of the ironing board approximately corresponds to the width of the clothes ironing section, in other words to a conventional ironing board.

Abstract: A method and system for providing seamless interoperability and integration between a plurality of devices in a network using a common protocol, wherein at least one of the devices is a legacy device which commmunicates with the network using a proprietary protocol. When a legacy device is coupled to the network, one of the plurality of devices on the network queries the legacy device via the proprietary protocol to determine a set of basic capabilities supported by the legacy device. The set of basic capabilities are then mapped from the proprietary protocol to a set of basic commands from the common protocol. A control module is generated for the legacy device, wherein the control module is based upon the set of basic commands. The set of basic capabilites of the legacy device are then accessed via the control module, thereby providing seamless interoperability and integration of the legacy device with the plurality of devices.

Abstract: Chip cards are used to secure credit and debit payment transactions. To prevent fraudulent transactions, the card must protect cryptographic keys used to authenticate transactions. In particular, cards should resist differential power analysis and/or other attacks. To address security risks posed by leakage of partial information about keys during cryptographic transactions, cards may be configured to perform periodic cryptographic key update operations. The key update transformation prevents adversaries from exploiting partial information that may have been leaked about the card's keys. Update operations based on a hierarchical structure can enable efficient transaction verification by allowing a verifying party (e.g., an issuer) to derive a card's current state from a transaction counter and its initial state by performing one operation per level in the hierarchy, instead of progressing through all update operations performed by the card.
