Patent JP-H09512895-A (JP)
IPC: B21D13/04
Filed: 1995-05-02
Abstract: The invention regards a recuperative heat exchanger for the exchange of heat between two media across a heat transferring wall. According to the invention the heat transferring wall is made from a shaped patterned sheet which is folded repeatedly to form a multi-layered package (12) which is enclosed in a casing (15, 21), so that the sheet, owing to its configuration, after folding forms a package of alternating flow channels with connecting ports (22-25) for the two media at two opposite sides of the sheet package, said sheet being sealed against the casing at the bottom and the top of the package and at the two ends of the package so that leakage between the two media is prevented. The invention also relates to a method of producing such a heat exchanger.

Patent JP-2000511409-A (JP)
IPC: C07K14/52
Filed: 1997-04-30
Abstract: The CC type chemokines belong to a family of polypeptides which have proven to be mediators of immune reactions, and they have recently attracted attention due to their antiviral activity with respect to HIV. The cloning and molecular characterization of a human tandem gene is disclosed which contains the closely linked coding regions for two new CC type chemokines the sequences of which are highly homologous with that of MIP-1alpha. The transcription of the tandem gene leads to a bicistronic mature transcript which contains the non-overlapping open reading frames for the recently described factor HCC-1 and an as yet unknown CC type chemokine, designated as CC-2. Moreover, alternative splicing of the primary transcript yields at least one additional CC type chemokine, cytokine CC-3. Two functional promoter regions were identified within the tandem gene. The disclosed data provide some basic knowledge about the structure and expression of the new human CC-2/HCC-1 tandem gene and describe a mechanism according to which the coexpression of closely linked genes could be regulated in higher eucaryotes.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (10) for use with a pressurized aerosol canister (18) includes a housing (12) defining a conduit (16) with a mouthpiece (56), and an actuator with a nozzle discharge orifice (not shown) arranged to discharge aerosol into the conduit. An air tube (34) is arranged within the conduit with an inlet (38) of the air tube formed in the conduit wall and an outlet of the air tube in opposing relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary air inlets (not shown) in the closed end (24) of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow along the inner wall (44) of the conduit. Vortex generators (54) on the inner wall of the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow.

Title: Moulding confectionery, moulds carried in chilled roller
Inventor: LEADBEATER JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: A23G4/00
Filed: 2000-06-15
Abstract: A machine for moulding confectionery items 1 includes a chilled roller 3 containing moulds 2.  A depositor 4 forces confectionery material in a liquid state into the moulds.  A moving belt  contacts the rotating roller to hold the confectionery material in the mould and prevent it from deformation as the moulds leave the horizontal.  The belt can later be used to collect the confectionery items as they are ejected from the mould.  Alternatively, a chilled plate may be placed in contact with the mould when the confection is deposited into the moulds to prevent distortion of the material in the moulds.
