Abstract: The invention concerns a frozen dessert based on ice cream comprising lactic bacteria, said ice cream being coated over all or part of its surface, and/or provided within, and/or in between, with an edible support, characterised in that the support is substantially devoid of lactic bacteria and that it comprises fermentable fibres specifically stimulating the growth in the intestinal tract of the lactic bacteria initially contained in the iced cream. The invention also concerns the combined use of lactic bacteria and prebiotic fibres for preparing a frozen composition wherein the lactic bacteria and the fibres are not substantially in contact, for treating and/or preventing gastrointestinal disorders, to strengthen the human immune system, or to increase the absorption of minerals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for convergence
correction in a television receiver and to a television
receiver, in particular a projection television receiver
having in each case one monochromatic picture tube for
the three primary colours, red, green and blue, the
images of which can be projected onto a picture screen.
Each picture tube is assigned a correction device which
comprises a convergence circuit. The convergence circuit
is assigned a memory in which correction values for the
convergence correction of the three picture tubes are
stored. In accordance with the correction values, the
convergence circuit generates output signals, which are
output to a correction device, which in each case
comprise at least one correction coil and, for each
correction coil, one driver circuit. A correction current
is applied to the associated correction coil in order to
correct image defects of a picture tube. According to the
invention, the convergence circuit also has control means
by means of which the output signals output to the
correction devices can be influenced in such a way that
the same correction is always effected on the picture
screen for a specific correction value, independently of
the gain of the respective driver circuit.

Abstract: To adjust the maximum torque required to actuate a
hydraulic steering mechanism, the steering mechanism is
first adjusted to provide a relatively high preload on gear
teeth in the steering mechanism. The steering mechanism is
then operated through a predetermined number of break-in
cycles. After oil has been purged from the steering
mechanism the steering mechanism is operated through one
complete operating cycle and the location where the maximum
torque is required to effect operation of the steering
mechanism is noted. Preload between the gear teeth is then
reduced and the steering mechanism is operated to the
position where it was previously noted that maximum torque
was required to actuate the steering mechanism. The
steering mechanism is then dithered to either side of the
location where the maximum torque was required. As this is
done, the steering mechanism is adjusted to obtain the
desired maximum operating torque for the steering
mechanism.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal-based light valve [100] comprising a light input
[106], a light output [108], a polarizing beam splitter [119], a reflective spatial light
modulator [25] and a switchable half-wave plate [102]. Light polarized parallel to a
first direction is received through the light input. Light from the light input and
reflected by the spatial light modulator is output from the light output. The reflective
spatial light modulator is structured as a quarter-wave plate and has a principal axis
that switches through an angle . The polarizing beam splitter has orthogonal
directions of maximum transmissivity and maximum reflectivity, one of which is
parallel to the first direction. The polarizing beam splitter is located and aligned relative
to the light input, the light output, and the spatial light modulator to transmit or reflect
the light from the light input towards the spatial light modulator, and to reflect or
transmit, respectively, towards the light output the light reflected by the spatial light
modulator and having a direction of polarization substantially orthogonal to the first
direction. The switchable half-wave plate is located between the beam splitter and the
spatial light modulator, is structured as a half-wave plate and has a principal axis that
switches through an angle , substantially equal to /2. The switchable half-wave plate
inverts the sense of the light valve during the balance period of each display period to
enable the light valve to generate a positive image, and therefore be illuminated, during
the balance period in addition to during the illumination period.

Abstract: Compositions and procedures that yield sub-micron and micron-size stable particles of water-insoluble or poorly soluble drugs or other industrially useful insoluble compounds are prepared using combinations of natural or synthetic phospholipids, a charged surface modifier such as a highly purified charged phospholipid and a block copolymer coated or adhered onto the surfaces of the water insoluble-compound particles. The combination of charged surface modifier and block copolymer allows the formation and stabilization of the sub-micron and micron size compound particles-stabilized by the charged phospholipid to provide electrostatic stabilization and the block copolymer to provide steric stabilization-and therefore prevents these particles from particle growth, aggregation or flocculation.
