Title: High unsaponifiables and methods of using the same
Inventor: BROWN JAMES H
IPC: A61K8/73
Filed: 2000-12-28
Abstract: Materials with high levels of unsaponifiable matter result in Hydrolysates with unique properties. It has been found that the application of a hydrolysis process to materials, particularly materials with a high level of unsaponifiables (e.g. at least 6%  by total weight of the material) produces a product with properties significantly different from those products resulting from the con-ventional saponification of materials with less than 6% by weight of unsaponifiables. The resulting Hydrolysates resist both physical and aqueous-based removal from skin and hair, exhibit a very unique surfactant property, and are not foaming agents with water.  Hydrolysates according to the present invention may thus be used to enhance the performance of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.  These Hydrolysates are bioactive agents and alternative natural carrying agents for topical application of materials, particularly for application of materials to the skin or hair of subjects, and provide a substantive support for the materials carried.

Title: Multi-reservoir pressure control system
Inventor: CHIEN RING-LING
IPC: B01L9/00
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: Improved microfluidic devices, systems, and methods allow selective transportation of fluids within microfluidic channels of a microfluidic network by applying, controlling, and varying pressures at a plurality of reservoirs. Modeling the microfluidic network as a series of nodes connected  together by channel segments and determining the flow resistance characteristics of the channel segments may allow calculation of fluid flows  through the channel segments resulting from a given pressure configuration a t the reservoirs. To effect a desired flow within a particular channel or seri es of channels, reservoir pressures may be identified using the network model. Viscometers or other flow sensors may measure flow characteristics within th e channels, and the measured flow characteristics can be used to calculate pressures to generate a desired flow. Multi-reservoir pressure modulator and  pressure controller systems can optionally be used in conjunction with electrokinetic or other fluid transport mechanisms.

Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: A system (30) and method for determining stock consistency and for using consistency as a process variable to control some aspect of operation of a refiner (32) used to refine stock. The system includes at least one sensor (70 or 180) from which some refiner characteristic is obtained that is used by a processor (38) in determining consistency. The method uses the characteristic, such as temperature or pressure inside the refiner or in a refining zone (304) of the refiner, along with at least one other refiner parameter in determining consistency. A controller (274) uses the consistency determined in controlling some aspect of refiner operation. In one preferred controller, consistency is compared with a consistency setpoint and adjustments are made to try to converge consistency with the setpoint. The controller can be paused to accommodate other changes made to refiner operation and released when steady state refiner operation is achieved.

Abstract: A pressure operable liquid pumping system for pumping liquid from a container comprises a liquid intake hose having a liquid inlet end insertable into liquid in the container, a fitting for engaging the aperture of the container in sealed relation, and a liquid transport hose having a liquid outlet end. A pump is used to pump air into the container. The pump is also connected in sealed air-delivery relation to the container at the aperture, thereby permitting delivery of air from the pump into the container through the aperture, so as to thereby effect a positive air pressure in the container, thus causing the liquid to flow from the container, through the liquid intake hose, the fitting, and the liquid transport hose, to the destination. The pump may also be connected in sealed air-delivery relation to the container at a second aperture.

Title: Method for producing a fiber composite structural component
Inventor: FILSINGER JUERGEN
IPC: B29C70/34
Filed: 2003-03-10
Abstract: A fiber composite structural component such as a fitting, bracket, mounting or the like is produced by applying fiber material such as fiber threads or fiber yarns in an automatic circular weaving operation to a core that has at least two sections, to form a fiber material body. One core section is removed from the fiber material body when the weaving is completed. The body is then deformed in a mold that has the contour of the finished structural component with at least one mold core section still in the fiber material body. The deformed configuration of the structural component is then impregnated in an RTM device with a resin and hardener followed by curing. Reinforcements may be inserted or secured to the fiber material body prior to the impregnated and curing step.

Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: According to a known method for producing a component by means of a powdery starting material, powder is mixed with auxiliaries comprising binding agents, whereby a free-flowing mass is produced. A green body is produced from the mass by means of powder injection moulding. A portion of the auxiliaries is extracted by heating the green body in a container and exposing said body to a stream of solvents. The green body is sintered, whereby the component is produced. The aim of the invention is to enable fast and gentle extraction for releasing green bodies which are produced by means of powder injection moulding. According to the invention, the extraction comprises a heating-up phase during which the temperature of the green body is permanently or gradually increased and the green body is overflown by a solvent in the form of a compressed, supercritical treatment gas. Preferably, the direction of flow of the treatment gas is changed at least once during the heating-up phase. An extractor that is suitable for carrying out said method is characterised by a pressure sealed housing that is provided with at least one lateral limiting wall and encloses a treatment chamber for receiving a carrier element which is loaded with a plurality of green bodies. Said housing is provided with a lock-up load and removal opening for the green bodies. Said opening is configured in the lateral limiting wall as a passage for the carrier element.
