Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous dry spinning process for preparing a fiber from a polymer solution having concentrations of polymer, salt, solvent and water. After the fiber is extruded and quenched, the fiber is placed in contact with a conditioning solution comprising concentrations of solvent, salt, and water. The conditioning solution acts upon the fiber to plasticize the fiber prior to being drawn. The conditioning solution has concentrations of solvent, salt, and water so that the fiber is plasticized to the extent necessary for drawing but does not plasticize the fiber to such an extent as to re-dissolve the fiber into a polymeric solution. A heat-treated fiber manufactured from this process has improved shrinkage and can be colored to darker shades.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing position information from satellite positioning system satellites and from cellular based communication signals. In one example of a method according to the invention, a SPS receiver receives SPS signals from at least one SPS satellite. This SPS receiver is coupled to and typically integrated with a communication system which receives and transmits messages in a cell based communication system. In this method, a message is transmitted in the cell based communication signals between a communication system and a first cell based transceiver. A time measurement which represents a time of travel of a message in the cell based communication signals between the cell based transceiver and the communication system is determined. Another time measurement which represents a time of travel of the SPS signals is also determined. A position of the SPS receiver is determined from a combination of at least the time measurement which represents the time of travel of a message in the cell based communication signals and from a time measurement which represents the time of travel of the SPS signals. The cell based communication signals are capable of communicating data messages in a two-way direction in one embodiment between the cell based transceiver and the communication system.

Abstract: The invention involves obtaining carbohydrates from vegetal raw materials. By the judicious utilization of adequate hydrolases and transferases it is possible to obtain carbohydrates totally crystallizable and soluble that might be stored over long periods without decomposition. Specific enzymes are added to pre-established substrates in four steps for reaction times of from 20 to 90 minutes at temperatures between 18`C to 67`C. Once the initial stage is ended the temperature in the heaters (3) is raised to 90/100`C to clot all impurities that remain then proceeding to a filtration or centrifugation to obtain the clean syrup about 13` Brix; the syrup is led to the vacuum concentrators (5) to eliminate practically all water, at a temperature not beyond 70`C around 70` Brix. Once the adequate saturation is reached to form the crystals, the product is mixed at low speed in the crystallizers (6) till the granules separate by themselves. The end product must have a relative humidity of less than 0.50%, preferably at 0.25%. The obtained concentrate is composed of carbohydrates without liquid stage. The process permits, as an option, that the concentrate be sent to a spray-dryer to form an even powder or granulate to be used directly or for further industrial use. The carbohydrates thus obtained can be used in industrial processes by means of known reactions, for example, oxidation, hydrogenation and fermentation. The latter includes fermentation processes for producing alcohol, yeasts, acetic acid and glutamic acid.
