Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement (200) for protecting a measuring transducer (202). The invention relates specifically to an arrangement for protecting a measuring transducer (202) from the effect of a measured quantity whose magnitude and/or direction exceeds/goes below a predetermined measuring range. The arrangement comprises a means (102) made at least partly of functional metal, the means (102) being deformed with the aid of a magnetic field generated in connection with the means. When a measurement signal proportional to the effect of the measured quantity exceeds/goes below a predetermined measuring range, the magnetic field and consequently the shape of the means (102) containing functional metal can be varied such that the access of the effect of the measured quantity to the measuring transducer (202) is limited at least partly as a result of deformation of said means (102) containing functional metal, either directly or indirectly.

Abstract: A method for the  in situ  production of an emulsifier in a foodstuff, wherein a lipid acyltransferase is added to the foodstuff. Preferably the emulsifier is produced without an increase or without a substantial increase in the free fatty acid content of the foodstuff. Preferably, the lipid acyltransferase is one which is capable of transferring an acyl group from a lipid to one or more of the following acyl acceptors: a sterol, a stanol, a carbohydrate, a protein or a sub-unit thereof, glycerol. Preferably, in addition to an emulsifier one or more of a stanol ester or a stanol ester or a protein ester or a carbohydrate ester or a diglyceride or a monoglyceride may be produced. One or more of these may function as an additional emulsifier.

Abstract: A biodegradable and toilet-flushable body waste collection pouch (10), and an appliance and method in which such pouch constitutes the inner pouch of a peelably separable pouch-in-pouch system, are disclosed. The walls (11, 12) of the inner poudh are composed of an ultra-thin, heat-sealable film impermeable to body wastes comprising a plasticized biodegradable polyester or copolyester film (23) externally covered by a soft, porous, water-­disintegratable cover layer (24) of biodegradable and water-dispersible fibers. The cover layer and film are weakly bonded together in such a way as to avoid pinholes in the film that might otherwise be caused by the fibers. When used as the inner pouch of a pouch-in-pouch system, the film of the outer pouch is selected to have a melting temperature higher than that of the inner pouch film, with the result that a peripheral heat seal joining the walls of the two pouches together will allow the walls of the outer pouch to be peeled away without delaminating the film and cover layers of the inner pouch.

Abstract: Analysis and synthesis filter banks such as those used in audio and video coding systems are each implemented by a hybrid transform that comprises a primary transform in cascade with one or more secondary transforms. The primary transforms for the filter banks implement an analysis/synthesis system in which time-domain aliasing artifacts are cancelled. The secondary transforms, which are in cascade with the primary transforms, are applied to blocks of transform coefficients. The length of the blocks is varied to adapt the time resolution of the analysis and synthesis filter banks. One or more sets of hybrid-transform coefficients resulting from a secondary transform are enoded the. The length of the secondary transform is adapted in response to the block-length control signal. One or more sets of hybrid-transform coefficients are quantized according to a perceptual model to generate encoded information.
