Abstract: Compositions, particularly foodstuffs, were thickened by the inclusion of an
effective amount of a stabilized waxy potato starch, particularly a stabilized,
crosslinked waxy potato starch, more particularly a hydroxypropylated waxy potato
distarch phosphate. Compositions which include the starch may be thickened using
less starch than if other starches were used. Foodstuffs prepared using the starch
were improved in that they have better flavor, texture, and appearance.

IPC: A61P1/14
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: Disclosed is an intestinal juice level regulator
comprising, as the active ingredient, creosote or phenolic
derivatives constituting creosote. As having the
activities to promote the absorption of intestinal
juices and/or to retard the secretion of intestinal
juices, the active ingredient lowers the intestinal
juice level in intestines. As the phenolic derivatives,
usable are one or more of guaiacol, creosol, phenol,
cresol and xylenol. The regulator is especially effective
for retarding the hypersecretion of intestinal
juices to be caused by heat-labile or heat-stable enterotoxin
of enterotoxigenic  Escherichia coli .

Abstract: A new method is indicated for the restore of bitlines and datalines
from memory-cells. All bit- and datalines are switched
together during the restore activity so that all restore-FETs
can be prepared with the necessary re-charging current. The non-addressed
bitlines are then switched off through their bitswitches.
In this manner, the dimensions of the re-charging devices
can be considerably reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a sequence of calls
directed to different destination sites (22, 24 and 26) from a single calling site
(10, 12 and 14) via a provider (18) having a connection-based tariff structure
that employs first and second levels of connections in order to increase cost
efficiency. The first level connection (30, 36 and 38) is from the provider to
an intermediate site (28), such as a server, with the first level connection
being maintained throughout the sequence of calls. The second level
connection (34, 40 and 42) is formed from the intermediate site to the
destination sites in the sequential order determined by the calling party.
Each call to a destination site includes a different second level connection
that is terminated from a completion of the call, without affecting the first level
connection. The call information relating to the different calls in the
sequence is transmitted from the calling site to the intermediate site by
techniques such as the transmission of DTMF signals or conventional digital
call setup signals. In one embodiment, the provider is an exchange carrier of
air-to-ground telecommunications capability.

Abstract: Messages are selectively transmitted from a transmitting
means to at least one mobile means when inside a first area, the
mobile means roaming around a second area which includes the
first area. A control signal is sent from the transmitting or
the receiving means for pick-up by the other whenever the
receiving means substantially enters the first area. In response
to the pick-up signal, the information message is transmitted
from the transmitting means into the first area. The receiving
means is enabled to receive this message. Reception of the
information message at the receiving means is detected and in
response to this the control signal continues to be sent. The
information message continues to be transmitted into the first
area while the control signal is picked up and the link between
the transmitting and receiving means is terminated when the
control signal stops being received. The system is particularly
suitable for use in a supermarket in which the mobile receivers
are mounted on the shopping carts. Other uses include public
galleries and museums where the receiver is carried by a visitor.

signal previously stored in the detecting apparatus, setting the
detecting apparatus in its mode for registering an

Abstract: A method and apparatus of printing an image on a recording medium with a liquid ink
printhead moving in a scanning direction having drop ejectors depositing ink drops on a recording
medium at or about pixel locations of a predetermined resolution. The method includes the steps of
determining a drop ejection frequency necessary to eject drops on the recording medium at the pixel
locations of the predetermined resolution, increasing the drop ejection frequency, depositing a
plurality of ink drops having a reduced drop volume at or about one of the pixel locations at the
determined drop ejection frequency. Drops are deposited in rapid succession and grouped within a
pixel at subpixel (74) locations. The ink of the grouped drops (74, 76) spreads and approximates the
size and shape of a single drop (78, 80, 81, 82).

Abstract: A ballast circuit for a gas discharge lamp of
the type including resistively heated cathodes includes a
resonant load circuit incorporating a gas discharge lamp
(48) and including first and second resonant impedances
(L R , C R ) whose values determine the operating frequency of
the resonant load circuit. Further included is a d.c.-to.a.c.
converter circuit coupled to the resonant load
circuit so as to induce an a.c. current in the resonant
load circuit. The converter includes first and second
switches (S1, S2) serially connected between a bus
conductor at a d.c. voltage (VBUS) and ground (14), and
has a common node through which the a.c. load current
flows. A feedback circuit (R F ) provides a feedback
signal (V F ) indicating the level of current in the
resonant load circuit. A high voltage IC drives (16) the
first and second switches at a frequency determined by a
timing signal which predominantly comprises the feedback
signal (V F ) during lamp ignition, whereby during lamp
ignition the feedback signal causes the high voltage IC
to drive the first and second switches towards a
switching frequency which promotes resonant operation of
the resonant load circuit. A circuit (42) isolates the
feedback signal from the timing signal for a
predetermined period of time upon energizing of said
converter circuit so as to allow the cathodes to become
heated during such period of time, prior to lamp
ignition.

Abstract: A process for the fluid catalytic cracking of heavy feeds under a heat
balance regime, where at least one catalyst cooler 19 external to the
regenerators cools a stream of regenerated catalyst. A portion of said stream
returns to the regenerators and a portion of the cooled regenerated catalyst is
admixed to the non-cooled regenerated catalyst at a temperature substantially
lower than the regenerator temperature, said admixture being brought into
contact with the hydrocarbon feed to be cracked. As a result, the control of the
catalyst circulation is rendered independent from the heat balance of the unit,
with minimization of the thermal cracking, and therefore lower coke and fuel gas
products.

Anordnung reduziert. Deshalb war Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Aufhängung
anzugeben, welche die Nachteile im Stand der Technik vermeidet. Dazu wird
angegeben, die Aufhängung aus der Kernschicht 11 und/oder wenigstens einer
der Deckschichten 12 zu bilden. Wird die elastische Befestigung aus der
Kernschicht 11 selbst gebildet, wird es ohne großen Aufwand möglich, das
jeweilige Paneel 10 auch entfernt von Randbereichen elastisch zu befestigen.
Hierzu wird die Elastizität Lochstruktur der Kernschicht 11 als Federelement

Abstract: The simultaneous synthesis of diverse organic compounds is performed in stackable
modules which are moveable among nesting sites located on work station platforms.
The reactor module includes a block (A) adapted to receive an array of tube-like
reactor vessels (10). The vessels (10) are sized to optionally accept porus
polyethelyene mircocannisters with radio frequency transmitter tags. Each vessel has a
bottom port connected to an outlet tube. A valve block (C) located below the reactor
vessels (10) simultaneously controls discharge through the outlet tubes. The valve
block (C) includes plates (39,40) with aligned, relatively moveable sets of rib surfaces
which act through Teflon encapsulated silicone o-ring cord sections to simultaneously
close rows of outlet tubes. By first utilizing reactor vessels in one set of 48 positions,
out of the possible 52 reactor vessels positions in the reactor block (A), and then
utilizing reactor vessels in the other set of 48 positions and shifting the relative
position of the collection plate, a single reactor can be employed to discharge into all
of the wells of a standard 96 well microtiter collection plate. The apparatus can be
used to perform the entire synthesis or only the final cleavage step of a radio frequency
tagged synthesis.
