Abstract: In an apparatus (10,100,300,400) for refining a low consistency fibrous slurry, which includes a plurality of refining zones (38,40; 188,128; 324,334; 411,413) within a casing, the improvement comprises providing a unique discharge flow path from each refining zone to a respective unique discharge line (56,58; 130,142; 308,310; 411,413) out of the casing, and means (57,59; 141,143; 344,346; 432,434) for differentially adjusting the flow rate in each discharge line. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, a divider (42,132,340) is provided between the casing and the rotor member, thus dividing the discharge between the two refining gaps, into two separate flow streams. The first and second gaps are monitored in any conventional manner. Under operating conditions, the flow control valves are adjusted for combined flow from the refiner casing as required by the production demands. However, the relative positioning between the two valves is adjusted until the refining gap measurements show equal gaps (within a pre-established tolerance) in the two refining zones.

Abstract: Part of the hollow object (2), either transparent or translucent, is illuminated (8) by an incident light beam (6). The object is rotated (3), relative to the beam, around its central axis (4). The reflected light beam (7) from the object forms successive images at a regular pace. Two successive images are compared to distinguish stationary reflected beams, corresponding to parasitic variable reflections and object defects. Defects are detected by illuminating the object's wall, internally for horizontal and external for vertical, defects. The reflected light is intercepted by a detector (10), for subsequent morphological analysis (11) of the luminosity and temporal and spatial positions of the images. A mirror (9) may change the reflected ray path to the detector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method of destruction of sausage skins and other mainly cellulosic substances by means of dissolution with an enzyme solution. In the method enzymes are added to a reactor that contains a water solution, after or before which the substances to be dissolved are added to the reactor. The substances to be dissolved are dissolved partly or completely, after which a new amount of substances to be dissolved are added to the reactor. When the enzymes have been adsorbed into the new substances to be dissolved, the solution containing the substances dissolved are recovered by separating the solution and the substances to be dissolved from each other, whereby water is added to the substances to be dissolved and if desired, the four foregoing steps are repeated a wished amount of times.

Abstract: A system for manufacturing molded articles and simultaneous engineering of mold cavities, comprising a casting device, a machining device and interchangeable cassettes. The casting device comprises a casting mold having two mold halves, each having cassette receptacles and being moveable against each other perpendicular to a separation surface of the casting mold. The casting device also has interchangeable cassettes inserted into the cassette receptacles of the mold halves so that they abut each other and enclose the mold cavity when the casting mold is closed. The cassettes have positive guides on their sides opposite the separation surface that are insertable into the positive guides on the cassette receptacles of the mold halves. The machining device comprises a machining station such as a drill, a turning tool, a milling tool, a grinder and an eroding tool, and also a clamping device within a working range of the machining station. The clamping device has cassette receptacles with positive guides that correspond to the positive guides of the cassettes. The cassettes can be interchangeably and precisely mounted in the cassette receptacles of the machining device and of the casting device without adjusting the position of the cassettes.

Abstract: A box, formed by folding from a flat creased cardboard blank of thin and resilient material, is of generally polyhedral shape and has an edge (the closure line) (25) at which two faces (the closure faces) (17, 18) meet separately; pressing the vertices at the ends of that line together (at 26) splays those faces resiliently apart (at 27) along that line to allow access to the interior of the box. The closure line may be closed by temporary sealing means (e.g., peelable adhesive tape or a tear-off closure strip) (37-39). The closure faces may have an overlap (Figs. 3A-3C) for firmer closure; the overlap may be initially folded in to form a "pillow pack" (Fig. 4). A variety of shapes are possible, preferably having a flat base with the closure line lying above and parallel to the base. One basic shape is a triangular prism lying on its side (Figs. 2A and 2B); another is a rectangular base with, rising from it, four vertical sides with their top ends sloped in zig-zag fashion, and closed by two sloping triangular top faces - the side faces may be trapeziform (Fig. 5) or triangular (Fig. 6). The boxes may be nested together in partially assembled form with open bases. The boxes may be stored flat, with their bases automatically assembling when they are opened out.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for separating a relatively large volume of blood into cellular and acellular fractions without the need for centrifugation. The apparatus comprises a housing divided by a fibrous filter into a blood sample collection chamber having a volume of at least about 1 milliliter and a serum sample collection chamber. The fibrous filter has a pore size of less than about 3 microns, and is coated with a mixture of mannitol and plasma fraction protein (or an animal or vegetable equivalent thereof). The coating causes the cellular fraction to be trapped by the small pores, leaving the cellular fraction intact on the fibrous filter while the acellular fraction passes through the filter for collection in unaltered form from the serum sample collection chamber.

Abstract: Coat color is important to the pig breeding industry for a number of reasons. It is therefore desirable to develop populations of pigs which will breed true for coat color. However, establishing such populations would be time-consuming and costly using traditional test mating programs. It is therefore desirable to determine the coat color genotype of individual pigs. The inventors have shown that the KIT gene in pigs is involved with coat color determination. Specifically, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I, IP, and i alleles of the coat color determining gene is duplication of at least part of the KIT gene in the I and IP alleles. Further, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I and IP alleles is that, although both I and IP have a duplication in the KIT gene, only I and not IP exhibits a deletion in one of the duplicated regions. These discoveries have allowed the inventors to develop methods for distinguishing between the alleles I, IP, and i, thereby determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color. In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color and kits for use in carrying out such methods.
