Title: Low isoflavones, high saponins soy protein product and process for producing the same
Inventor: SINGH NAVPREET
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A soy protein material having a very low isoflavones content and a high saponins content is produced by a process that involves removal, by adsorption, of isoflavones from a soy protein material obtained by removing fiber from soy flour or flakes. The soy protein material also has a high Nitrogen Solubility Index (~NSI~). The low isoflavones, high saponins soy protein material has at least about 55.0 wt. % protein, less than about 200 ~g/g isoflavones of total dry matter and at least about 1000 ~g/g soyasapogenols of total dry matter. The process for producing the low isoflavones, high saponins soy protein material involves removing fiber from a defatted soybean material and obtaining a liquor that is subsequently pasteurized. Next, sugars and other small molecular weight components are optionally removed from the liquor using membrane separation to increase the protein content of the final material. The resulting liquor or retentate is subjected to adsorptive removal of isoflavones, and is optionally pasteurized and spray dried.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the structure of and methods of constructing indicating instruments with slim profiles. The indicating instrument comprises a meter movement and a circuit board. The main body of the meter movement is situated in an aperture in the circuit board. With this placement, the front end of the body of the meter movement extends a distance in front of the circuit board and the back end of the meter movement body extends a distance behind the circuit board. Through appropriate selection and arrangement of any components on the circuit board, the circuit board can be constructed such that none of its components extend beyond the distance that the meter movement extends on either side of the circuit board. In this manner the space needed for the meter movement and the circuit board and its components collapses into the same area. A light plate may be added to the circuit board and meter movement. The light plate provides a structural framework for the indicating instrument. The circuit board, and meter movement may be mounted to the light plate. In this manner, the internal components of the indicating instrument are all held together and can be calibrated and tested without the addition of any further components.

Title: Modular system for generating electricity from moving fluid
Inventor: PETROUNEVITCH EDOUARD
IPC: F03B11/02
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A modular system for producing electricity from the channel, river, ocean or tidal water currents and wind is disclosed. The embodiments of the system comprise a set of interconnected modules. Each module contains a fluid flow energy converter positioned in a protecting housing. A converter consists of a vertical axis underwater hydro-turbine or wind turbine, connected to the electrical generator. The turbine is essentially a paddlewheel having an arrangement of attached paddles with mutually perpendicularly oriented asymmetric blades that are fixed to the poles at both ends. Such orientation of blades provides a positive feedback minimizing the blades' friction while maximizing a drag force and maximizing the turbine's efficiency. The electrical generator transforms the rotational energy of the turbine into electricity. An array of modules may be arranged side by side, thus providing versatile configurations of submersible hydroelectric or wind power systems, which are inexpensive to build, install and maintain.
