Abstract: A valve includes an inlet and outlet housing, a flexible one-way valve, and a collar. The flexible valve is locked between the housings. The collar is attached to the inlet housing and extends into the flexible valve. As fluid flows through the valve, the collar supports the flexible valve and prevents collapse due to back flow pressure.

Abstract: Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polyester is extracted from biomass by dissolving the PHA in a non-halogenated solvent which comprises a PHA-poor solvent that dissolves less than 1% of the PHA at temperatures less than the solvent boiling point, or a mixture of a PHA-poor solvent and a PHA-good solvent. Following extraction of PHA under pressure at a temperature above about 80 DEG  C., typically above the boiling point of the PHA-poor solvent, PHA polymer is precipitated by cooling the PHA-enriched solvent mixture. Suitable PHA-poor solvents can include linear and branched R1-OH alcohols and R2-COOR3 esters where R1=C1-C4, R2=H, C1,C2, or C3, and R3=C1-C5.

Abstract: A modular blood filter device and delivery system, comprising an arterial cannula with a modular filter device. The arterial cannula includes a distal end adapted to enter an artery, and a side port for receiving a modular filter cartridge. The modular filter cartridge includes a tubular cartridge, and a shaft having a handle on one end and an expandable filter device on the other end. The expandable filter device includes filter mesh and an expansion frame capable of assuming enlarged and contracted conditions. The shaft is inserted into the cartridge, thereby containing the expandable filter device therein. The cartridge may then be removably received by the side port on the cannula. The cannula may be introduced into a blood vessel, and the expandable filter device may be deployed through the cannula into the vessel. The expansion frame may be expanded to the enlarged condition to capture embolic material in the mesh, may be collapsed to the contracted condition, and may be removed from the vessel. The modular filter cartridge may be removed from the cannula, and a new modular filter cartridge may then be received therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grinding grains, as well as to a device for implementing such a method. According to this method, the grains are humidified with a liquid, and compression and shear forces are applied to the grains with a first pair of rollers (4), so that the grain core internal structure (endosperm) is modified and the grain skin undergoes little or no damage. The grains are then transferred to another pair of rollers (5) having a ribbed surface for grinding. This is followed by grinding by another pairs of rollers (6) and/or sieving of the ground products, so that the final product is substantially in the form of flour. The inventive method is a low grinding method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying and sorting objects which are conveyed on a belt, especially for sorting waste. The nature of the material that the objects consist of is determined spectroscopically using an NIR measuring device (13) and the objects are sorted according to the result of the spectroscopy in that they are removed from the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9). According to the invention, the shape and/or the nature of the surfaces of the objects and the position of the objects on the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9) are determined (12) before the nature of the material that they consist of. The objects are then scanned by the measuring point (19) of the NIR measuring device (13) according to at least their position and removed from the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9). This guarantees a high identification and sorting rate and ensures that the system functions reliably.

Abstract: A flake-based pigment is provided having improved specular reflectance characteristics in the visible wavelength range. The flake-based pigment has a plurality of core flake sections each formed of a central reflector layer and dielectric support layers on opposing sides of the reflector layer. The resulting core flake section is a very thin three-layered structure that exhibits a uniaxial compressive strength much greater than a corresponding uniaxial tensile strength. This structure provides the benefits of rigidity and brittle fracture during manufacturing and application processes, which ultimately provides favorable planar and specular reflectance characteristics for the pigment in the visible wavelength range. A variety of outer coating layers can be formed around the core flake sections, such as various dielectric and absorber layers having thicknesses dependent upon the desired optical characteristics of the pigment.
