IPC: G01N33/14
Filed: 2008-03-07
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of evaluating the foam-holding property of a fermented malt drink wherein the foam-holding property of the fermented malt drink is evaluated by using the concentration of yeast thioredoxin (MT) in the fermented malt drink or the raw material liquid during the fermentation of the fermented malt drink as an indication having a negative correlation to the foam-holding property of the fermented malt drink and also using the concentration of protein Z (MZ) in the fermented malt drink or the raw material liquid before the fermentation or the raw material liquid during the fermentation of the fermented malt drink as an indication having a positive correlation to the foam-holding property of the fermented malt drink. According to this evaluation method, the foam-holding property can be evaluated from the concentrations of the definite proteins in the fermented malt drink or the raw material liquid before the fermentation or the raw material liquid during the fermentation without directly measuring the foam-holding property of the fermented malt drink.

Patent CA-2685827-A1 (CA)
Title: A downhole modulator apparatus
Inventor: BUSS JOHN
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2009-11-12
Abstract: A modulator is disclosed for creating a pressure pulse in a fluid-filled well. The modulator comprises a tool body on which a plurality of extendable arms (6) are mounted. The arms (6) may be retracted into a stowed position substantially adjacent the tool body, or may be extended to meet the wall of the borehole (2). The arms (6) are preferably resilient bowsprings that may be flexed outwards from the tool by means of an actuator pushing on at least one end of the springs. A flexible valve sleeve (5) or bag is suspended between the arms (6) and cooperates with a valve (4) mounted adjacent the sleeve on the tool body. The valve sleeve (5) creates a fluid-flow path through the valve (4), and in operation, the valve (4) closes one end of the valve sleeve (5) to create the pressure pulse. Sealing of the valve sleeve against the wall of the well is a result of the fluid pressure inflating the sleeve against the well wall. As a result, sealing takes place over an extended area of the bag and is dynamically responsive to changes in fluid flow or pressure.
