Abstract: A tube support device is used with tube bundle devices such as heat exchangers or, condensers with in-line tube arrangements (rectangular tube configuration) to mitigate the possibility of tube damage from flow-induced vibration in the tube bundle. The tube support comprises an elongated member or strip which is intended to be inserted in a tube lane between the tubes of the tube bundle. Raised-tube-engaging zones which include transverse, arcuate tube-receiving saddles are disposed along the length of the strip at successive longitudinal locations corresponding to the tube positions in the bundle. These tube-engaging zones extend laterally out, away from the medial plane of the strip, so that the saddles receive and closely hold the tubes on opposite sides of the tube lane. The support device may be made of two strips joined back-to-back with the tube-engaging zones extending out from one face of each strip or, alternatively, by a single strip with longitudinal slits which enable the tube-engaging zones to extend out on alternate faces of the strip at each tube location.

Abstract: A microcontroller system includes a microcontroller, a device which is controllable by the microcontroller, and a monitoring device. Under the control of a normal operation program, the microcontroller outputs a normal operation indicating signal. If the normal operation indicating signal is absent, the monitoring device transfers the device into a secured state and, if it is absent over a predefined period of time, locks the device in that state. When predefined exceptional conditions occur, the microcontroller changes to an operation preparation program, and the monitoring device increments a register. If the contents of the register reach a predefined value, the monitoring device locks the device in the secured state.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of glycine and/or a glycine derivative as antibacterial agent in foods and/or drinks with the proviso that in addition to said glycine and/or glycine derivative no hetero-saccharide containing macromolecule is used, nor 1,5 D-anhydrofructose is used as antibacterial agent in said foods and drinks. Preferably glycine and/or a glycine derivative are used as sole antibacterial agent in foods and/or drinks.  The current preservation methods, e.g. salt addition, pH regulation, nitrite addition and processing techniques as for example heat treatment, are not universally suitable for all food and drink applications because they affect product quality with respect to taste, texture and flavour. Further, they are not effective against most food borne pathogens.  Furthermore, the current preservation techniques do not prevent food-spoilage and/or food poisoning as consequences of e.g. temperature-abuse and/or contamination due to e.g. improper handling or improper preparation of the food and drink products.  It was found that glycine and/or a glycine derivative overcomes the problems of the current preservation methods and further provides a means for prevention of consequences as food spoilage and/or food poisoning by pathogenic bacteria due to e.g. temperature-abuse and/or contamination of food and drink products.

Abstract: A solid concentrate is provided having a combination of a transition metal present in an amount ranging from 1,000 to 40,000 ppm (weight by metal) and a polyester polymer present in an amount of at least 40 wt. % based on the weight of the concentrate. Concentrates made with highly modified polyester polymers are easy to compound with transition metals forming less brittle polymer upon melt extrusion. Bottle preforms and oxygen scavenging bottles can be made from these concentrates by combining solid polyester particles, solid polyamide particles, and solid these concentrate particles c into an melt processing zone, forming a melt, and forming an article directly from the melt. The b* color and the L* color and the haze levels of the preforms are improved over the preforms made with liquid carriers instead of solid concentrates. The particles are also advantageously simultaneously dried in a drying zone under conditions effective to at least partially remove moisture from the blend to thereby further improve the b* color and L* color.
