Abstract: An aglucone isoflavone enriched vegetable protein whey, whey protein material, high genistein material, high daidzein material, and aglucone isoflavone material are provided, as well as a process for producing the same from a vegetable protein whey. Isoflavone conjugates in a vegetable protein whey are converted to isoflavone glucosides by treating the whey at a temperature and a pH for a period of time sufficient to effect the conversion. The isoflavone glucosides are converted to aglucone isoflavones by enzymatic reaction to produce an aglucone isoflavone enriched vegetable protein whey. Aglucone isoflavone whey protein material is recovered from the aglucone isoflavone enriched vegetable protein whey. A high genistein content material, a high daidzein content material, and an aglucone isoflavone material are produced from an alcohol extract of the aglucone isoflavone whey protein material.

Abstract: The tricycle comprises a front steerable wheel (104) controlled by handlebars (105) and steering column (107), has a handle which projects from the rear of the frame to allow the vehicle to be pushed along by an adult without having to stoop. In this situation the front wheel can be locked in a straight line to prevent the child from steering one way while the adult is pushing in another. The steering lock can be in the form of a sleeve (117) which can be slid down the steering tube (108) of the frame so that recesses in its lower edge engage with the front wheel fork (109). In variants it can be in the form of a sliding bar with a slot in its lower edge engaging with a projection on the forks, a hinged bracket dropping to engage with a projection on the front mudguard, or a lever with a block which locks against the mudguard.

Title: Appareil de triage

Granted: 2004-11-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de triage, qui est muni d'une bande transporteuse ou d'un mécanisme équivalent servant à déplacer des particules à une vitesse suffisante pour produire un courant de particules dans l'air, lesdites particules pouvant être classées de sorte que le matériau sélectionné puisse être extrait. Le classement ou le triage est effectué par un système de balayage principal, qui analyse la lumière réfléchie par des particules du courant sous la forme d'une pluralité de gammes de longueurs d'onde. Des éjecteurs, qui servent à éjecter les particules du courant, sont disposés en aval du système de balayage et obéissent à des signaux émis par le système de balayage. Un système de balayage auxiliaire est destiné à établir la présence de matériau dans le courant. Si un vide est détecté dans une zone donnée, l'analyse de cette zone par le système de balayage principal et toute mise en fonctionnement des éjecteurs sont arrêtées. Si le système de balayage auxiliaire fonctionne sur la base de la lumière émise dans la longueur d'onde infrarouge, le système de balayage peut distinguer une lumière réfléchie par une pièce de produit du courant de produits d'une lumière émise à travers le trajet du courant de produits, en l'absence d'une pièce de produit. Ainsi, la surveillance de la lumière reçue du trajet du courant produit dans la gamme infrarouge peut être utilisée pour exécuter toutes les fonctions.

Abstract: A thermally insulated substrate, e.g. a system of pipes, is maintained above a selected minimum temperature by means of one or more electrical heaters, preferably elongate self-regulating heaters. Each heater is successively switched on for a heat-up period and then off for a cool-down period. The durations of these periods are successively determined by reference to the ambient air temperature adjacent the substrate at an earlier time, e.g. at the end of the previous cool-down period. The method is particularly useful for temperature-maintenance systems in which a number of heaters are used to heat a complex system of pipes. The durations of the heat-up and cool-down periods for each heater (or for a group of two or more heaters) are separately determined by means of a single microprocessor. The microprocessor (a) is linked to an ambient air temperature sensor; (b) contains in its memory the relevant information about each heater, the pipes which it heats, and the thermal insulation surrounding the pipes; (c) is programmed to calculate the durations of the heat-up and cool-down periods; and (d) is linked to a number of switching means, one for each heater or group of heaters.

Abstract: A mixing method and mixer structure provide a circuit topology suitable for use in radio receivers, transmitters, tuners, instrumentation systems, telemetry systems, and other systems and devices performing frequency conversion in either homodyne or heterodyne implementations. The inventive mixer may be used for wireless communication devices including radios, cellular telephones, and telemetry systems whether land, sea, airborne, or space based, and whether fixed or mobile. The mixer provides superior intermodulation and harmonic distortion suppression and features excellent conversion loss, noise figure, port match, and port isolation as a result of its circuit topology. The mixer device circuit combines the advantages of series mixing FETs, a triple balanced design using a balanced passive reflection transformer, a precise local oscillator phase splitter, and square wave gate drive having high slew rate signal characteristics to achieve high levels of performance. It is power conservative and offers the advantage of long battery life in portable devices such as portable radios and cellular telephones as it requires only a modest amount of DC and local oscillator drive power, and is useful for operation over at least a multi-decade bandwidth.

Abstract: A data carrier receives an amplitude-modulated carrier signal that is amplitude modulated in dependence on data to be received. The modulated carrier signal has a high interval of high amplitude and a pause interval of reduced amplitude. The data carrier has a data processor for processing received data. The data carrier generates d.c. power from the received carrier signal and stores the d.c. power, and detects the pause interval. Upon detecting the pause interval, the data carrier generates an identification signal from the received carrier signal. The identification signal is a logic gating signal. In dependence of the identification signal, a controller causes the application of a clock signal to data processor to be inhibited.
