Patent CA-2282665-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHULZ PHILIPPE
IPC: G01N25/04
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for determining the temperature stability of a water-hydrocarbon emulsion capable of phase separation by monitoring the weight variations of a gravimetric sensor part of which is immersed in said mixture. The method consists in a first step of cooling or heating the emulsion to a predetermined temperature; and a second step during which the emulsion is maintained at this temperature, the time-dependent variation curve of said weight in time enabling the determination of the solid mass collected and the separation speed into two phases by determining the slope of this curve, the stability of the emulsion being obtained by comparison with reference emulsions known to be stable.

Title: Dispositif non letal pour arme a feu
Inventor: LUDAESCHER EDWARD C
IPC: F41H9/10
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif mixte létal/non létal pour armes à feu selon lequel une arme à feu létale telle qu'un pistolet (10) ou un fusil prévu pour tirer classiquement des projectiles solides du type balle, peut être transformé en une arme défensive non létale (20) grâce à l'adjonction d'une cartouche d'un type nouveau qui projette un fluide chimique non létal, un gaz lacrymogène ou un gaz annihilant par exemple. Cet appareil non létaI comporte une partie supérieure (24) qui vient se placer sous le canon (12) et une partie arrière (22) reliée au pontet (18) de l'arme à feu. Le distributeur de fluide (28) se commande selon une nouvelle technique, qui consiste à appuyer sur un patin poussoir (128) près du pontet (18), lequel patin (128) est solidaire d'un bras pivotant (122) lui-même relié à un bouton de commande (32) sur la cartouche (28), le résultat étant la libération à force de l'agent chimique hors de l'appareil.
Patent CA-2286359-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrical safety device with conductive polymer sensor
Inventor: MORRIS SHELBY J JR
IPC: H02H5/04
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: An electrical safety device comprises a sensor strip (123) disposed in the insulation (121) of an electrical power cord (101) or other electrical apparatus. The sensor strip is made of a conductive polymer with a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity which increases with temperature. The sensor strip forms a series connected loop (137) connected to an impedance measuring circuit (139). A relay (115) interrupts current to the conductors (107, 109) of the cord when the impedance of the sensor strip increases due to an overtemperature condition. The sensor strip is positioned between the conductors of the cord and the outside surface of the cord. The position of the sensor strip allows the strip to act as a mechanical damage sensor, opening the series connected loop before an energized conductor is exposed.

Title: Process for producing milk infused cereal grain ready-to-eat products
Inventor: ZUKERMAN RACHEL B
IPC: A23L1/164
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: RTE, dry, puffed cereal pieces and refrigerated fluid-milk have traditionally been consumed from a bowl with a spoon. They cannot be picked up and consumed hand-held because the RTE, dry, puffed cereal pieces absorb the fluid-milk and become soggy. In addition there always remains an excess amount of fluid milk in the bowl because the RTE, dry, puffed cereal pieces have a very small and limited fluid-milk absorption capacity. The present invention relates to a process for producing a ready-to-eat cereal and fluid-milk breakfast food product having a firm surface and an interior comprised of fully cooked, soft and moist, fluid-milk-infused cereal grains joined together. The cereal and fluid-milk products of the present invention can be picked up and eaten hand-held because their textures do not become soggy even when the cereal grains have been infused with all the added fluid-milk. In the process of the present invention, 200 to 400 lbs. of a fluid-milk solution which contains starch complexing agents, flavors and sweeteners, are infused into each 100 lbs. of cereal grains at temperatures above 180 F until the cereal grains become infused with all the fluid-milk solution, fully cooked, and soft and moist in texture. The proteins of the cooked fluid-milk together with the gelatinized starch of the cooked cereal grains provide the needed fluid-binding and cohesive properties which synergistically act together to both cause the individual fully-cooked cereal grains to become joined to one another and in addition, to bind and retain all the infused fluid-milk solution within the cereal grains' interiors. The fluid-milk-infused cereal grains are then shaped into units with low shear forming equipment, and oven-baked to firm their surface texture and develop their golden brown surface color while still retaining their soft, moist, fluid-milk-infused interior texture.

Title: Vehicle information acquisition system including capability to obtain information in blind spots
Inventor: HASHIMOTO TAKAHIRO
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: A system for acquiring map information reliably even when a vehicle is running in a blind area where the map information is not acquirable in real time, assisting the vehicle to keep running smoothly. In this system, necessary map information can be acquired from an external information center upon request via a communication device. Specifying data of a blind area in which the map information is not acquirable in real time is previously stored in a memory. Based on the specifying data stored in the memory and a current position of the vehicle detected as by GPS, a processor acquires the map information of the blind area from the information center upon request when the vehicle approaches the blind area. The acquired map information is stored in the memory and is read out for use in navigation.

Title: Treatment of plant protein extract by ion exchange to remove phytic acid and phytates
Inventor: BATES GREGORY A
IPC: A23J1/14
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: An improved method for separating phytic acid and phytates from plant protein involves contacting a clarified protein extract with an ion exchange resin, allowing phytic acid and/or phytates to bind with the ion exchange resin whereby the protein extract is depleted of phytic acid and/or phytates, and separating the protein extract which has been depleted of phytic acid and/or phytates from the ion exchange resin. In accordance with the method, only soluble proteins are contacted with the ion exchange resin.  As a result, problems associated with insoluble protein accumulating on or in the ion exchange resin are eliminated, thereby providing an efficient, economical method of producing low-phytate protein isolates on a commercial scale.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de décomposer une émulsion aqueuse contenant de l'huile, selon lequel l'émulsion aqueuse contenant de l'huile est soumise pendant une durée déterminée à l'action d'une pression et à celle d'une température élevées, est mélangée à du dioxyde de carbone, puis est détendue. La décomposition s'effectue dans un autoclave. Une détente de la pression qui intervient par à-coups produit un courant de bulles de gaz de dioxyde de carbone, dirigé vers le haut, à travers lequel est séparée une phase très huileuse. L'émulsion appauvrie en huile ainsi préclarifiée est séparée dans un séparateur et la fraction aqueuse qui en résulte est décomposée par ultrafiltration en un rétentat et en eau. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif permettant de mettre ledit procédé en oeuvre, qui comprend un autoclave, un séparateur et un système d'ultrafiltration. Dans la zone de la base inférieure de l'autoclave, il est prévu un dispositif permettant d'injecter du dioxyde de carbone sous forme de fines bulles.
