Title: Process for producing ethanol
IPC: C12P7/06
Filed: 1992-05-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing ethanol from raw materials, that contain fermentable sugars or constituents which can be converted into sugars, comprising the steps of: a-liquefaction of the raw materials in the presence of an alpha-amylase for obtaining liquefied mash, b-saccharification of the liquefied mash in the presence of a glucoamylase for obtaining hydrolyzed starch and sugars, c-fermentation of the hydrolyzed starch and sugars by yeast for obtaining ethanol, and d-recovering alcohol, a protease being introduced in the liquefied mash during the saccharification and/or in the hydrolyzed starch and sugars during the fermentation. The invention relates also to a composition containing a glucoamylase and an acid fungal protease.
Patent AU-2309688-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for assessment and modification of circadian phase and amplitude
Inventor: CZEISLER CHARLES A
IPC: A61M21/00
Filed: 1988-06-27
Abstract: A method for accurately assessing and rapidly modifying the phase and amplitude of the endogenous circadian pacemaker is disclosed. A circadian cycle modification capacity assessment method comprises (before and after a stimulus) eliminating activity-related confounding factors associated with the sleep-rest cycle which otherwise mask the state of the endogenous circadian pacemaker. Based on either individual or normative assessment data, the circadian phase and amplitude modification method involves the application of bright (about 9,500 lux) light and, advantageously, episodes of imposed darkness, at critically chosen phases to achieve rapid and stable changes in phase and amplitude. The timing of the episodes of bright light may be chosen either by reference to empirically-derived phase response data, or by using a mathematical model in which the endogenous circadian pacemaker is a van der Pol oscillator. A forcing function in the model is substantially proportional to changes in the cube root of the surrounding illuminance, in lux. The amplitude of the endogenous circadian pacemaker may actually be reduced to substantially zero, so as to bring about dramatic phase modifications in diminishingly small periods of time. The methods find special utility in treating "jet lag" sufferers, shift workers, advanced circadian phase experienced by many elderly subjects, and those afflicted with delayed sleep phase insomnia.

Title: Method and device for monitoring temperature distributions on the basis of distributed fiber-optic sensing, and use of same
Inventor: GROSSWIG STEPHAN
IPC: G01M3/02
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring, also permanently and automatically, temperature distributions and/or temperature anomalies on the basis of distributed fiber-optic temperature sensing as well as to the use of such methods. According to the invention the detection of local temperature extremes, i.e. minimums or maximums, in view of the evaluation is performed by an evaluation without numeric derivations. With the device for monitoring ascending and supply pipes surrounded by an annular space it is possible to check the safety of pressurized installations, particularly in the field of low-pressure gas storage, in a cost-efficient manner. Moreover, the position of an underground watershed or respectively the direction and flow rate of the flows in flooded drift sections can be determined on the basis of fiber-optic temperature measurements. The defined arrangement of preferably vertical sensor cables inserted into the bores also makes it possible to examine the tightness of base sole and lateral walls in building excavations. Finally, the virtually horizontal, meander-shaped arrangement of fiber-optic cables situated in several levels makes it possible to evaluate and control the efficacy and homogeneity of leaching processes in leaching dumps and fills.
