Title: Method for increasing propionate in the gastro-intestinal tract
Inventor: ARRIGONI EVA
IPC: A23L29/269
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A method for selectively increasing the production of propionate in the gastro-intestinal tract of a mammal.

Title: Methods for the processing of hard-shelled crustaceans
Inventor: GALLANT CYRIL G
IPC: A22C29/02
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: Methods are provided for the optimization of the utilization of crustaceans,  e.g., lobsters and crabs, especially through the use of underutilized components thereof. The methods include separating the intact shell of hard- shelled crustaceans from the raw edible meat contained therein which is very  strongly attached to the shells. The methods each include the first step of initiating the detachment of the raw edible meat from the intact shell by several alternative steps. One such step involves the treatment of the crustacean cell with a protease enzyme. Another such step involves the subjecting of the crustacean shell to at least one freeze-thaw cycle. The thawing may be carried out in cold water or in cold brine to minimize deterioration of the flavour of the crustacean meat. Still another step involves subjecting the crustacean intact shell to the action of a superchilled ice/salt mixture which would have a maximum concentration of sa lt which can bring the temperature down to the eutectic temperature, e.g., +3 ~ C to -3 ~C. The intact crustacean shell is then separated from the raw edible meat by several different alternative steps. One alternative step includes subjecting the so-treated intact crustacean shell to vacuum aspiration to separate the intact crustacean shell from the raw edible crustacean meat, so  as to recover the raw edible crustacean meat. Another alternative step includes manually separating the intact crustacean shell from the raw intact  edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw intact edible crustacean me at from the intact crustacean shell. These methods are particularly applicable to the recovery of raw edible crustacean meat from underutilized portions of ha rd- shelled crustaceans, e.g., lobsters of the Homaridae family, as well as for the recovery of raw edible intact crustacean meat from hard-to-process hard- shelled crustaceans, e.g., Spiny lobster, Northern Stone crab (Lithodes maja ), Porcupine crab (Neolithodes grimaldii), Irish crab (Cancer pagurus) and Jona h crab (Cancer borealis). Procedures are further-described for the utilization  of such recovered raw meat fraction, e.g., to provide stuffing for, and to provide stuffed crustaceans, e.g., Homaridae lobsters, Spiny lobsters and cr ab.

Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: Within a process for recycling of PET-material and/or objects of PET, the PET-material to be processed is heated and dried in the course of a pre-treatment step and simultaneously is crystallized at elevated temperature. This pre-treatment step is followed by a main-treatment step under vacuum. In this main-treatment step, the processed material is again dried and crystallized at a temperature that is higher than the temperature of the pre-treatment step. Preferably, also in the main-treatment step no plasticizing of the material takes place, the plasticizing or, respectively, melting of the material takes place only after the main-processing step. An apparatus for performing this process comprises a pre-processing device (3) in which the processed material is dried and simultaneously crystallized at elevated temperature, and, if desired, is also comminuted. A main-processing device (4) is connected to this pre-processing device (3), in which main-processing device the supplied PET-material is dried, crystallized and heated to a temperature that is higher than the temperature within the pre-treatment device.

Patent CA-2397635-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOOLEY KEVIN ALLAN
IPC: H02K1/02
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: An electric machine including a magnetic component, forming part of its rotor or stator that loses its magnetic characteristics above a certain chosen temperature is disclosed. This magnetic material forms part of a magnetic circuit that guides flux about the stator. As a result, any magnetic flux emanating with the rotor stops circulating about the stator above this temperature, and the machine stops acting as generator. The component is thermally coupled to windings carrying current from the machine's stator.  The material forming the component is selected so that the chosen temperature is lower than the temperature at which the machine would be thermally damaged. This, in turn, limits the operating temperature of the windings, and thus prevents overheating of the machine during operation, typically caused by a fault. Preferably this magnetic material is formed from a ferrite material, such as a Manganese Zinc ferrite material.

Title: Inkjet printing with air current disruption
Inventor: HARMON JOHN PAUL
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: An inkjet printer (10/210) includes a printhead (34/234) having a plurality of ink orifices (36/236) formed therein. During printing, ink drops (38/238) are ejected through the ink orifices into a print zone (15/215) between the printhead and a print medium (12/212). An air current disruption system (40/40'/40''/140/240) directs an air stream (42/42'/142/242) through the print zone as the ink drops are ejected so as to disrupt air currents (43/43'/143/243) acting on the ink drops during printing and prevent print defects caused by the air currents. The air stream, however, does not disrupt an intended trajectory of the ink drops during printing.

Abstract: N.E.V.I.S. stays for New Exhaust Valve and Intake System. This invention defines together with a new charge regulating system and a special valve for  the function of the exhaust, several innovative elements that change completely the traditional alternative engine. Thanks to this new concepts, efficiency can be drastically improved, wile the dimensions, the weight and the power are comparable to wankel or to gasturbine and the expectations of the emissions and production cost are very interesting, wile the radically n ew architecture of the block allows to have the advantages of a complete modularity of the cylinders (every block can be associated to another one), the pistons are annular and are provided in the lower part of ball bearing that follow a convenient law of the movement caused by a cylinder surrounded  by an undulated slot where the ball bearings are operatively inserted. The exhaust is timed and variable like the compression ratio; the cleaning phase  happens via the inertia of the fluids in a vast rang of revolutions per minute, differently from Kadenacy system. The lubrication system is of the spraying kind, the cooling system is with circulation of liquid, the injecti on is direct for both the versions diesel or gasoline one. A transmission shaft  can be inserted in the engine shaft, permitting to the engine an axial positioning between two tires, if the number of cylinders adopted is not excessive. It is possible to put on the same axis two, three, four or six cylinders, one after the other one, without having problems of balancing; th e number of maximum revolutions per minute is very low so to have a correct ratio with a propeller or an eventual tire it isn't neede any reducing gear between the transmission and the differential, because the number of cycles are three in one engine shaft revolution instead of half.
