Abstract: Production of L-aspartic acid (I) by aspartase-catalyzed reaction of fumaric acid with ammonia to give ammonium L-aspartate, followed by precipitation of (I) and purification. Production of L-aspartic acid (I) comprises: (a) reacting fumaric acid (II) with ammonia in an inert diluent in the presence of an aspartase or an aspartase-producing microorganism to form ammonium L-aspartate (b) optionally removing excess ammonia from the reaction mixture; (c) precipitating (I) by adding nitric acid and separating the precipitate from the reaction mixture, washing and drying; (d) separating residual (I) and (II) by nanofiltration of the filtrate from step (c) and recycling the retentate to step (c); and (e) concentrating the filtrate from step (d), recycling the resulting distillate to step (a) together with any excess ammonia separated in step (b), and optionally using the concentrate to make a nitrogen fertilizer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un récipient (10) de plastique pour remplissage à chaud, présentant des poignées et un fond (24) piqué haut, ainsi qu'un procédé permettant de produire ce récipient. Ce procédé consiste à placer une préforme (40) dans une cavité (34) de moule défini en partie par des surfaces qui présentent une déviation sensible vers l'intérieur pour former des poignées (14) dans le récipient (10) résultant. Pour commencer on place une base (50) de moule de manière à définir une cavité (34) de moule initiale dont la longueur est supérieure à la longueur finale du récipient (10). On étire la préforme (40) dans cette cavité, dans une direction axiale, de manière que sa longueur soit supérieure à la longueur finale du récipient. Une fois étirée, la préforme (10) est en général expansée radialement vers l'extérieur à faible pression. Le fond (50) du moule est ensuite déplacé dans une position dans laquelle la longueur de la cavité correspond environ à la longueur finale du récipient (10). La préforme (40) est alors expansée une nouvelle fois, à haute pression, jusqu'à ce qu'elle entre en contact avec les deux moitiés (36) du moule, et forme ainsi le récipient (10) fini. Dans ce procédé, la base et l'anneau de contact du récipient (10) est formé intégralement sur tout le tour en dessous des poignées (14). Ce récipient (10) est en outre exposé à un traitement thermique de manière à permettre son remplissage avec un produit chaud.

Abstract: A switch core is set forth that comprises a plurality of duplex switches that are interconnected with an interconnection fabric to implement, for example, strictly non-blocking operation of the switch core for reciprocal traffic. In one embodiment, an N-way reciprocal switch is implemented. The N-way reciprocal switch comprises a plurality of duplex switches numbering N of at least a 1x(N-1) switch type (e.g., the duplex switches have at least N-1 ports available for connection to implement the interconnection fabric). The interconnection fabric interconnects the plurality of duplex switches so that each duplex switch is connected to every other duplex switch used in the interconnection fabric by a single connection. A similar architecture using switches numbering N of at least a 1xN switch type is also set forth. Still further, a plurality of duplex switches are used to implement an (n,m)-way switch that, in turn, can be used to construct a recursive LM-way switch core and/or recursively expand an existing Clos switch core.
