Abstract: The security paper material has a security strip (7) in a width of more than 2mm, embedded in the first paper layer (6) of a multi-layer paper structure, with openings in the paper surface for at least partial exposure of the strip on both sides. The first paper layer (6) is covered by at least one further paper layer (9), and they are bonded together. The second paper layer (9) has a thickness of 10-50% of the total thickness of the security paper (15), and pref. 20%. Also claimed is a mfg. process where the initial paper layer is formed conventionally, and the security strip is embedded in the paper while it sets into a paper material, with windows formed where the security strip is accessible. The security strip, with a width more than 2 mm, with a width selected for the holes formed on the side away from the rotary fourdrinier while giving a smooth and unbroken paper surface on the side of the paper towards the fourdrinier. At least one further paper layer is produced in parallel with the first stage, to be applied to the reverse side of the first paper layer, to be bonded together covering the openings in the first paper surface or give a defined shape. Similarly, a third paper layer is formed to cover the other side, to be followed by further finishing processes such as calendering, glue application, drying, etc.

Title: Method for determining composition and quality of meat material
Inventor: ROSELL FERRER JAVIER
IPC: G01N33/12
Filed: 1998-03-04
Granted: 2002-12-18
Abstract: Measurement of meat intra- and extracellular water and ratio of lean and fatty contents comprises electrical impedance measurements at four or more frequencies between 1 kHz and 1 MHz. A first evaluation of the ratio between the volumes of total- and extracellular water is made from the quotient K of impedance moduli. The impedances are measured between: (1) 1 kHz and 50 kHz; and (2) 100 kHz and 10 MHz. The value (K) is independent of environmental measurement conditions. In the first stage the experimental results are corrected using the method of least squares. For this, an expression is provided, relating electrical impedance Z with frequency (f), comprising resistances at infinite and zero frequency, frequency of maximum impedance and cell dispersion of the biological system. The resistances are then used to calculate the value E%, related to the ratio of intracellular and extracellular water volumes, using a further equation. In a second stage, the lean meat content is determined. The impedance is determined above 100 kHz. An equation is provided, linking lean mass with the inverse of this impedance, using prior calibration coefficients obtained for meat of similar characteristics and a geometrical factor appropriate to measurement conditions. The total fatty weight is then obtained by subtracting the total lean weight from the total weight of the sample under investigation.

Abstract: The clip-on sunglasses assembly includes four clasps for engaging the frame of eyeglasses. Each includes a screw which secures the sunglass lens within a recess in the clasp. The end of the screw is provided with a central recess defining a circular edge. As the screw is tightened, the edge contacts the lens and forms a circular groove in the lens surface by displacing a small amount of lens material. The circular contact area distributes the stress normally concentrated at a point on the lens by a conventional screw, thereby reducing the chances of cracking the lens. Two clasps are welded to the ends of a bridge member and affixed to pre-shaped lenses at marked locations. Each clasp has a bent tail bar enclosed by a heat shrinkable tube.

Abstract: Oligonucleotides in which one or more purine residues are substituted by pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines exhibit improved hybridization properties. Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine base analogues have higher melting temperatures than unsubstituted oligonucleotides of identical sequence. Thus, in assays involving hybridization of an oligonucleotide probe to a target polynucleotide sequence, higher signals are obtained. In addition, mismatch discrimination is enhanced when pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-containing oligonucleotides are used as hybridization probes, making them useful as probes and primers for hybridization, amplification and sequencing procedures, particularly those in which single- or multiple-nucleotide mismatch discrimination is required.
