Abstract: The flights or blades (20, 21), at least two of them, rotate low in the mash tun, turned by a rotary drive. Each has a number of holes (24) in it. The height h, of the mixing flights (20, 21), projected in a plane at right angles to the plane of rotation (28), increases at least locally, towards the rotation axis of the mixer flight arrangement. The two segments (22, 23) of the flights, are set at differing angles (alpha 1, alpha 2) to the plane of rotation (28), to direct flow down to the floor (11) of the mash tank (10); and up and away from it. In addition to the mixing flights, a stirring system, is also claimed.

Abstract: A malodorous component is eliminated using a catalytic composition comprising a phosphate of a tetravalent metal (titanium or other Group 4 elements of the Periodic Table of Elements), a hydroxide of a divalent metal (copper, zinc or other transition metal), and a photocatalyst. The photocatalyst includes sulfide-semiconductors, oxide-semiconductors and other photo-semiconductors, e.g. titanium oxide. The composition may further contain silicon dioxide and/or a silver component. The catalytic composition insures efficient elimination of not only acidic components and basic components but also neutral components over a long period, irrespective of with or without a light irradiation.

Abstract: Fat-based confectionery masses, e.g. chocolate confectionery products, in which the fat can exist as a  beta  polymorph are treated to retard bloom formation by undercooling the composition by at least about 3 DEG C and subjecting the composition to pulses of ultrasonic energy in amounts sufficient to generate stable crystals of the desirable  beta  polymorph. Typical products contain cocoa butter and, in some embodiments, milk fat, and stable  beta polymorphs are generated by application of ultrasonication. The method is less sensitive to process deviations than other methods, and products so treated exhibit optimal shrinkage, gloss, and snap. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 10-hydroxy 7-ethyl camptothecin (HECPT), an active metabolite of the camptothecin analog CPT-11, is poorly soluble in water. Because of its poor water solubility, HECPT has not been directly administered by parenteral or oral routes in human patients for the purpose of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. There is also unpredictable interpatient variability in the metabolic production of HECPT from CPT-11 which limits the utility of CPT-11. This invention overcomes these limitations by teaching novel pharmaceutically acceptable lactone stable HECPT formulations for the direct administration of HECPT. The claimed invention also describes novel dosages, schedules, and routes of administration of the lactone stable HECPT formulations to patients with various forms of cancer.

Abstract: A method for cleaning cylinders of a rotary printing press having washer and suction devices and an adjacently mounted dryer which shortens the down time during the cleaning operation and at the same time satisfies safety requirements. At the beginning of a cleaning process, the dryer is reduced from its normal operating output level to a predetermined lower operating output level which eliminates the risk of combustion with cleaning fluid vapors. At the end of the cleaning process, the operating output of the dryer is increased from its reduced level to its normal operating level in a significantly shortened period of time, as compared to conventional practice, resulting in reduced down time for the printing machine during the cleaning operation.\!

Abstract: The method involves determining the transition times of the vehicle (FZ) axles between the counter devices from the times of signal generation of the individual counter devices. An average speed is determined from the transition times of at least two axles between the counter devices (k1,k2) bounding a first section (A12) in the direction of travel and the distance between the counter devices. The maximum speed or minimum transition time between the counter devices in the next section (A23) is derived from the average speed and a maximum acceleration value. A fault is signalled if the maximum speed is exceeded or if the transition time is less than the minimum time.

Abstract: The machine uses human muscular energy, e.g. for propelling a bicycle. It uses a pair of foot pedals (2), one for each foot. The pedals are constrained to remain at a constant angle to the frame of the machine and have toecaps to keep the user's feet from sliding off to the front. The pedal assemblies have two pairs of wheels running in two spaced-apart slots (4) in a sloping frame member. When the pedals are depressed by the weight of the user they slide downward and backwards at an angle of approx. 45 deg, returning forward and upward when released. There is a one-way coupling (3) on each pedal, engaging and driving a chain (1) connected by further sprockets and chains to the rear wheel of the bicycle.

Title: Narrow field electromagnetic sensor system and method
Inventor: MCEWAN THOMAS E
IPC: H04B1/7163
Filed: 1996-03-15
Granted: 2002-05-22
Abstract: A narrow field electromagnetic sensor system and method of sensing a characteristic of an object provide the capability to realize a characteristic of an object such as density, thickness, or presence, for any desired coordinate position on the object. One application is imaging. The sensor can also be used as an obstruction detector or an electronic trip wire with a narrow field without the disadvantages of impaired performance when exposed to dirt, snow, rain, or sunlight. The sensor employs a transmitter for transmitting a sequence of electromagnetic signals in response to a transmit timing signal, a receiver for sampling only the initial direct RF path of the electromagnetic signal while excluding all other electromagnetic signals in response to a receive timing signal, and a signal processor for processing the sampled direct RF path electromagnetic signal and providing an indication of the characteristic of an object. Usually, the electromagnetic signal is a short RF burst and the obstruction must provide a substantially complete eclipse of the direct RF path. By employing time-of-flight techniques, a timing circuit controls the receiver to sample only the initial direct RF path of the electromagnetic signal while not sampling indirect path electromagnetic signals. The sensor system also incorporates circuitry for ultra-wideband spread spectrum operation that reduces interference to and from other RF services while allowing co-location of multiple electronic sensors without the need for frequency assignments.

Abstract: Alkaline solutions of hydrogen peroxide or compounds capable of providing peroxide ions are used to bleach cellulose and other fibrous materials in the manufacture of paper. Owing to the transition-metal ions contained at low concentrations in the cellulose fibres, the peroxides undergo homolytic decomposition, thus leading to considerable losses of peroxide and, owing to the reactivity of the oxygen radicals formed, cleavage of the carbohydrate chains. To stabilize such bleach liquors, the method proposed uses, alone or in the form of a mixture, a combination of a type 1 complexing agent consisting of a phosphonate and/or poly- alpha -hydroxyacrylic acid and/or an aminopolycarboxylic acid and a type 2 complexing agent consisting of oxy and/or polyoxy compounds with 2 to 7 C-atoms in the carbon chain and/or protein derivatives. This stabilizer is suitable for use in stabilizing alkaline bleaching solution containing oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and/or compounds capable of providing peroxide ions and can be used, under oxygen pressure, under ambient pressure or under hydrostatic pressure, to bleach aqueous fibre suspensions in the manufacture of paper or in the processing of fibrous materials (synthetic fibres) used in the chemical industry. The stabilizer mixture gives an excellent degree of bleaching, at the same time enabling hydrogen peroxide consumption to be significantly reduced, the fibres are damaged much less by the bleach and the stabilizer mixture is more readily biodegradable than type 1 complexing agents.
