Title: Puff pastry
Inventor: HARLAUX GINETTE
IPC: A21D13/08
Filed: 2001-01-24
Granted: 2002-02-14
Abstract: A method of preparation of a frozen flaky pastry. A mixture of 34-45 wt.% flour, 0.5-1 wt.% salt, 2.5- 5 wt.% sugar 2-3 wt.% buttermilk powder and 0.5-1 wt.% emulsifier is pre-mixed. During mixing 16-20 wt.% water, 3-6 wt.% whole egg and 2-3.5 wt.% yeast are added. At ambient temperature 20-30 wt.% plastic fatty matter is added in pieces and the paste is extruded. Two or more layers of paste are superposed and laminated. The paste is placed in a fermentation chamber, cooked, glazed with a syrup and rapid frozen without cooling and allowing to partially dehydrate. The paste may be frozen between lamination and fermentation and a softening stage may occur between freezing and fermentation. Chopped and/or pureed foodstuffs and/or a sauce and/or a cream may be placed onto the paste before fermentation. Independent claims are included for a fermented, pre-cooked frozen flaky pastry which shows no sign of staling after thawing and has on an upper surface and edible crust, which may contain hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon derivatives (sic) and may be flavored and for a cooked dish containing the claimed flaky pastry.

Filed: 2000-11-22
Granted: 2005-09-08
Abstract: A method for the removal of a substance, which has a negative charge and which is present in an aqueous liquid (I). The method comprises the steps of: (i) contacting the liquid with an anion-exchanger (1) that comprises mixed mode anion-exchanging ligands in which there is a positively charged nitrogen allowing binding of the substance to the anion-exchanger; and (ii) desorbing said substance from said anion-exchanger. The characteristic feature is that (A) the mixed mode ligands have a thioether linkage within a distance of 1-7 atoms from their positively charged atom, and (B) the anion-exchanger (1) (i) is capable of binding the substance of interest in an aqueous reference liquid (II) at an ionic strength corresponding to 0.25 M NaCl, and (ii) permits in the pH interval 2-12 a maximal breakthrough capacity for the substance which is ≧200% of the breakthrough capacity of the substance for Q-Sepharose Fast Flow (anion-exchanger 2).

Title: Methods and apparatus for identifying faulted phases on an electric power transmission line
Inventor: JONES MARTIN STUART
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1995-04-24
Granted: 1998-04-09
Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus for identifying the fault phase on the occurrence of a single phase fault simultaneously on both circuits of a double circuit electric power transmission line using measurements taken at one end only of the line. Using measurements of voltage and current at the one end of the line and a knowledge of various parameters of the line, a signal representative of the travelling wave arriving at the one end of the line in consequence of the faults is derived. This derived signal is used to deduce the values of the components of the derived signal attributable to the different faults for each of a number of assumptions as to which phases are faulted. The deduced values for the different assumptions are then used to determine which assumption is most likely to be correct.

Title: End hook for power return tape measure
Inventor: REEDY MARVIN W
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 1997-06-04
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: An end hook for a power return tape measure includes a shank having a longitudinal axis and a catch extending from the shank at an angle to the longitudinal axis.

Granted: 1999-05-20
Abstract: Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularlycontainers and packaging materials, having a particle packed, highly inorganically filled, cellular matrix are disclosed. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together a starch-based binder, a solvent, inorganic aggregates, and optimal admixtures, e.g., fibers, mold-releasing agents, rheology-modifying agents, plasticizers, coating materials, and dispersants, in the correct proportions to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures have a predetermined viscosity and are heated between molds at an elevated temperature and pressure to produce form-stable articles having a desired shape and a selectively controlled cellular, structural matrix. The molded articles may be placed in a high humidity chamber to obtain the necessary flexibility for their intended use. The articles may be manufactured to have properties substantially similar to articles presently made from conventional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or other organic materials. They have especial utility in the mass-production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers.

Title: Mini-proinsulin, its preparation and use
Inventor: DORSCHUG MICHAEL
IPC: A61P3/10
Filed: 1989-06-22
Granted: 1991-06-06
Abstract: A mini-proinsulin in which the A and B chains are linked by the amino acid Arg in place of the C chain has insulin activity and is suitable for producing medicaments for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It can also be converted straightforwardly with trypsin into an insulin derivative whose B chain is extended by Arg. The latter can be converted with carboxypeptidase B into insulin. However, it is also possible and advantageous to convert the mini-proinsulin directly into insulin in a one-pot process.
