Patent EP-0522208-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TORNAY EDMUND G
IPC: B63B11/00
Filed: 1991-10-14
Abstract: Outflow of oil from a damaged tanker (10) having some tanks dedicated for carriage of oil (C) and others for sea water ballast (B) is minimized by transferring oil out of the upper part of any damaged tank to one or more empty ballast tanks. This is accomplished by installing a passageway (60) in bulkheads common to a cargo tank and a ballast tank which is normally closed by at least a one-shot valve (80) including a blank flange (82) bolted to a section of pipe (60) and a hydraulic hose (92) compressed by the flange which (86), when pressurized, breaks the bolts (84) to release the flange and open the passageway (60) to allow oil to flow from the damaged cargo tank (C) to a ballast (B) tank.
Patent EP-0454304-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SORENSEN CHARLES MITCHEL JR
IPC: C10L1/02
Filed: 1991-03-27
Abstract: Light olefins are converted to gasoline with a high enough content of ethers to provide a significant octane improvement over a base ('or cracking') gasoline (clear RON = 90-92; clear MON = 79-80). One portion of the olefins is hydrated to produce alcohols, and the other is used to synthesize an olefin-rich gasoline. The alcohols are used to etherify the gasoline. The combination of unit operations minimizes the energy needed to run the process for which no external solvent is needed. The process capitalizes on the higher solubility in gasoline of ethanol, propanol, and butanol, compared to methanol. Besides having very low solubility in gasoline, etherification with methanol or ethanol produces an inadequately rewarding increase in octane number, compared to propanol or isopropanol. Taking advantage of the inherent chemical and physical properties of C 3 -C 4  alcohol/gasoline mixtures results both in an unexpectedly high octane number for the ether-rich gasoline as well as an effective and economical process for producing it. The improvement in octane is particularly noteworthy because the weight percent of oxygen in olefinic gasoline etherified with C 3 -C 4  alcohols is less than one-half that of gasoline etherified with either C 1  or C 2  alcohol.

Title: Process for producing lime hydrate-rich binders for concretes and mortars, and use of the binders thus produced.
Inventor: MOSER JOHANN AUGUST
IPC: E04C5/01
Filed: 1991-07-04
Abstract: There exists today no possibility to add larger amounts of commercially available lime hydrate to concretes or mortars. Lime hydrate (Ca(OH)2?) is required on the one hand to maintain in reinforced concretes and mortars an alcalinity at a pH value higher than 9, even during long steel passivation carbonation processes, on the other hand in wall and plaster mortars to allow sealing, crack-healing transformation processes to take place. By producing and using pressed lime hydrate it is possible to obtain lime hydrate-rich binders for concretes and mortars. For that purpose, commercially available lime hydrate is pressed into moulded pieces of various forms and sizes, then crushed and sifted if necessary. The lime hydrate-rich binders produced with pressed lime hydrate require less water during their processing in concretes and mortars, so that shrinking is essentially reduced in comparison with the use of commercially available lime hydrate. These lime hydrate-rich binders are useful for reinforced and non-reinforced concrete and mortar constructions, in new buildings as well as in building renovation, and for wall and plaster mortars, especially in the field of the preservation of monuments.

Abstract: A novel method for detecting and quantifying cariogenic bacteria is provided, said method being characterized by the following steps:
     (a) Streptococcus mutans in a sample to be examined is reacted with at least one polyclonal or monoclonal antibody having a specific reactivity to the microorganism;   (b) the antibody bound to the microorganism is separated from the unbound antibody by filtration through a membrane filter; and   (c) the bound antibody captured on the filter is detected by a suitable means.   
     The present method enables to rapidly and conveniently detect S. mutans in a high sensitivity, without the need of selective cultivation of a sample before detection, and without the problem of decrease of survival rate of bacteria caused by the time-lag between collection of a sample from a subject and its detection.
