Title: Continuous enzymatic precooking for the production of an instant corn flour for snack and tortilla
Inventor: RUBIO MANUEL J
IPC: A23L7/104
Filed: 2003-08-28
Abstract: Precooked and partially debranned corn flour is continuously produced by an enzymatic precooking using a commercial endoxylanase and endoamylase blend as a processing aid. The low-temperature and near neutral-pH precooking with an endoxylanase and endoamylase solution effects a partial hydrolysis of bran and starchy cell-walls with a controlled gelatinization and reduced conditioning and corn solid loss in wastewater. Moisture content is then stabilized after washing, followed by milling and drying at a high temperature for a short time to produce a partial gelatinization in the ground kernel, cooling and further drying the dried­milled particle. A fine particle size or flour is separated and recovered from the coarser particle which is also segregated to isolate a light bran fraction for integral flour or feed use, remilling and sieving the coarser particle to produce an instant corn flour for snack chip and corn-based food, and admixing the fine particle with lime to obtain a masa flour for tortillas and the like.

Title: Alkyl push flow for vertical flow rotating disk reactors
Inventor: MURPHY MICHAEL
IPC: C30B25/02
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: In a rotating disk reactor for growing epitaxial layers on substrate or other CVD reactor system, gas directed toward the substrates at gas inlets at different radial distances from the axis of rotation of the disk has both substantially the same gas flow rate/velocity and substantially the same gas density at each inlet. The gas directed toward portions of the disk remote from the axis may include a higher concentration of a reactant gas than the gas directed toward portions of the disk close to the axis, so that portions of the substrate surfaces at different distances from the axis receive substantially the same amount of reactant gas per unit area, and a combination of carrier gases with different relative molecular weights at different radial distances from the axis of rotation are employed to substantially make equal the gas density in each region of the reactor. The system may be applied with a combination or carrier gases at multiple gas inlets, a combination of carrier and reactant gases at multiple inlets, and may be used with an arbitrarily large number of gases, when at least two gases of different molecular weights are provided. A linear flow pattern is achieved within the reactor, avoiding laminar recirculation areas, and permitting uniform deposition and growth of epitaxial layers on the substrate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode visant à améliorer la qualité de la voix synthétisée au moyen de codeurs 'analyse par synthèse' (ABS). Une qualité de perception instable peut s'observer lors du codage de la parole du type 'analyse par synthèse' (p.ex., dans CELP) en raison de possibles variations importantes du degré de périodicité dans un signal de voix parlée, pour différents segments de la voix parlée. De cette manière, la présente invention utilise un index vocal qui peut indiquer un degré de périodicité du signal vocal pour commander et améliorer le codage de la parole du type ABS. L'index vocal peut s'utiliser pour améliorer la stabilité de la qualité par la commande du codeur et/ou du décodeur pour les opérations suivantes: amélioration à court terme pour livre de codes fixes, y compris l'inclinaison du spectre; filtre de pondération de la perception; détermination du livre de codes semi-fixes; interpolation LPC; amélioration de la hauteur du son du livre de codes semi-fixes; amélioration consécutive à la hauteur du son; injection du bruit dans la bande de fréquences supérieures dans le décodeur; fenêtre UP Sinc window; décomposition des signaux, etc.

Title: Solid oxide fuel cell anodes and electrodes for other electrochemical devices
Inventor: MEINHARDT KERRY D
IPC: H01M4/86
Filed: 2004-04-27
Abstract: A method for forming an anode supported electrochemical device, such as a SOFC, is disclosed. A thin layer of electrolyte 310 is supported on an anode layer comprised of an active anode layer 320 and a bulk anode layer 340 . The bulk anode layer includes silicon carbide 340 in an amount between about 0.5 and 10% by weight. A cathode layer on an opposing side of the electrolyte completes the cell. The presence of the silicon carbide 340 in the supporting anode layer 340 has been found to reduce room temperature camber due to thermal expansion coefficient mismatches.

Title: Method for testing efficacy of antithrombotic agent
Inventor: TANAKA KENICHI
IPC: G01N33/86
Filed: 2005-11-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for testing quickly and easily the manner in which an antithrombotic agent inhibits the acceleration of blood coagulation when a platelet agonist causes acceleration of blood coagulation. The invention is a test method wherein a system in which an anticoagulant is added to a portion of blood sampled from a patient being administered an antithrombotic agent(X system blood), and a system in which an anticoagulant and adenosine diphosphate or collagen are added to a portion of the abovementioned blood (Y system blood) are simultaneously measured by thromboelastograph; and the efficacy of the antithrombotic agent is assessed by comparing the R values of the X system blood and the Y system blood. If the R value of the Y system blood is not found to differ significantly from the R value of the X system blood, the drug is judged to be working. Adenosine diphosphate and collagen can be used as the anticoagulant. The present invention provides a heretofore unknown method for easily assessing the efficacy of an antithrombotic agent.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A method for making correspondence between an MPID and a MAC address, including: each MP on the network is allocated a unique MPID at first; to obtain the MAC address of a destination MP, a MEP sends a broadcast query message to all the MPs on the network with the MPID of the destination MP; after receiving the broadcast query message, each MP determines whether the MPID in the message is the same as its MPID; if they are same, returns a unicast response message which includes the MPID and the MAC address; otherwise, no operation is performed; the MEP obtains the MAC address of the destination MP from the received unicast response message. The invention overcomes the problem of the prior art that an MEP cannot know the MAC address of a destination MP. By the present invention, various functions of the OAM can be accomplished and the uniqueness of the MPID and the MAC address of an MP on the network may also be ensured.

Title: Closed radial-cardan coupling used suitably in mohno type eccentric rolling screw pump.
Inventor: NADOR ANTAL
IPC: F16D3/84
Filed: 1981-05-06
Abstract: The screw piston of the Mohno type singlespindle excentric screw pumps as the rotary part performs a complex motion outside the centreline of the pump, for this reason the torque is transmitted from the bearing supported driving shaft with cardan or other coupling realizing eccentric motion. This closed radial-cardan eccentric coupling is formed in such a way, that the torque transmitting elements are radially arranged, thus surrounding each other in annular form, and requiring close installation space. Two carrying bolts fitted opposite each other along the symmetry axis in a tapered, threaded hole on the cylindrical driven head piece. These carrying bolts are tightly fitted in the tapered nest, whereby they ensure constant torque transmission to the carrying ring. The threads ensure the tight fitting of the bolt as well as its tightening in the tapered nest, in order to transmit the torque to the accurately fitting tapered surfaces. The carrying ring transmits the torque through the holes perpendicular to the carrying bolts to the driven eccentric shaft stub with a bolt.
