Inventor: HETHERINGTON STEPHEN WARREN
IPC: C07C67/54
Filed: 2002-07-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour extraire des impuretés de sec-butanol contenues dans de l'acétate d'éthyle (EtAc), ce procédé consistant à acheminer l'EtAc impur dans une colonne de distillation fonctionnant à une pression inférieure à 1 bar absolu pour produire (1) un flux comprenant de l'EtAc comme composant majeur et (2) un résidu ou un second flux comprenant au moins une partie du sec-butanol provenant de l'EtAc impur. Ce procédé peut être mis en oeuvre pour purifier de l'EtAc dérivé (a) de la réaction catalytique d'éthylène avec de l'acide acétique, suivie (b) d'une étape d'hydrogénation. Les impuretés de 2-butanone produites lors de l'étape (a) sont difficiles à séparer de l'EtAc. L'étape (b) les convertit en sec-butanol, qui peut être séparé par le procédé de fractionnement à pression réduite mis au point selon l'invention.

Patent CA-2457917-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOH JIMBAY P
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: This invention relates to non-brittle dried fruits and vegetables, especially non-brittle freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, and methods for preparing such fruits and vegetables. More specifically, this invention relates to non-brittle dried fruits and vegetables prepared by applying a surface coating of an aqueous solution of a polyhydric alcohol (preferably glycerol) prior to drying. Application of the aqueous solution of the polyhydric alcohol prior to drying appears to allow sufficient migration of polyhydric alcohol into the cellular structures, thereby plasticizing the cellular structures and minimizing damage to the cellular structures of the fruits and vegetables during and after drying and post-drying activities. The resulting plasticized product is rendered non-brittle as indicated by a drastic reduction of fines and/or broken pieces after drying and/or packaging, shipping, and storage as compared to conventionally dried fruits and vegetables.

Title: Lit inclinable grand public manuel ou electrique
Inventor: BOUDREAU MARTIN
IPC: A61G7/012
Filed: 2004-06-23
Abstract: On sait que les lits inclinables sont habituellement composés d'un matela s, d'un ou de plusieurs moteurs et d'une structure permettant l'inclinaison du lit dans différentes positions. Le fait que les matelas utilisés sur de tels lits doivent plier limite le genre de matelas pouvant être utilisés; plus ils son t épais, plus ils résistent à plier. Cette contrainte impose des concessions s ur le plan du confort, le meilleur matelas pouvant difficilement être installé sur un lit inclinable. Par ailleurs, pour que l'inclinaison du lit soit possible , les fabricants utilisent un ou plusieurs moteurs électriques. Ces deux aspects d u lit inclinable conventionnel, soit les contraintes au niveau du choix du matelas et l'obligation d'utiliser des moteurs électriques contribuent à son coût élevé de fabrication et décourage le plus souvent le consommateur à se procurer ce genre de produit.
