Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the detection of microorganism relevant to brewing, as well as to nucleic acids and combinations thereof which can be used in this method.  The invention further relates to the use of the nucleic acids according to the invention or combinations thereof for the detection and/or for the identification and/or characterisation of different genera or species of microorganisms relevant to brewing. Hence the problem to be solved by the present invention was to provide a method and means which make possible a rapid test of beer and brewing raw materials for contamination with micro-organisms, the test being required to detect the whole range of possible beer-contaminating microorganisms. This problem is solved according to the invention by a method which comprises the following steps: (a) bringing the sample into contact with a combination of at least two first nucleic acid molecules (primers), which hybridise with a region of a microbial nucleic acid conserved in microorganisms relevant to brewing; (b) amplification of the microbial nucleic acid or a portion thereof to produce at least one amplification fragment; (c) bringing the amplification fragments obtained in step (b) into contact with at least one second nucleic acid molecule (probe), which specifically hybridises with at least one amplification fragment that comprises a sequence of the microbial nucleic acid specific for all microorganisms relevant to brewing or for one or several families, genera or species of microorganisms relevant to brewing; and (d) detection of at least one hybrid nucleic acid which consists of an amplification fragment and a second nucleic acid molecule introduced in step (c). Further, nucleic acids are provided, which can be used in the method according to the invention.

Abstract: An improved method and system for logging transaction records in a computer system. The method may include writing a confirmation log record to the log file for a transaction that completes normally, and not writing a confirmation log record for transactions that are aborted. The log file may be unloaded periodically by an unload program. The unload program may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file and transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record to a suspended output file. On a subsequent execution, the unload program may combine the log records in the log file and the suspended file. The unload program may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file. The unload program may write transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record and which have not exceeded a transaction time limit to a suspended output file. The unload program may write transaction log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record and which have exceeded a transaction time limit to a disposal output file. The transaction log records in the good output file may

Title: Insulation carrying and cutting device
Inventor: GHARST THOMAS
IPC: B26D9/00
Filed: 2002-10-29
Granted: 2008-06-10
Abstract: A device and method for simultaneously cutting and scoring pieces of insulation consisting of thick fiber on a foil backing, for joining pieces of insulation. A dolly is provided for carrying a fifty-pound roll of insulation so that insulation can be pulled from the roll and over an attached cutting surface. Two parallel rotary knives move together across the insulation on the cutting surface. One knife cuts through both the fiber and foil. The other knife simultaneously makes a parallel cut 1.5 inches from the first, through the fiber but not the foil, so that the fiber between the two cuts can be removed from the foil. The foil from which the fiber has been removed, can then be overlapped onto the foil of another piece of insulation to join the two pieces.

Abstract: Disclosed is a conveying and diverting apparatus for selectively discharging conveying parcels having a lower surface from a conveying path. The conveying and diverting apparatus comprises a conveyor configured for conveying parcels along the conveying path by supporting the lower surfaces of the parcels, the conveyor defining an elongate gap transverse to the path. A substantially planar disc is rotatably mounted about an axis substantially parallel to the conveying axis, the disc having a substantially circular periphery. A disc supporting shaft is substantially rigidly attached to and supports the disc, and means rotatably mount the disc supporting shaft relative to the conveyor gap along an indexing rotational axis such that the disc supporting shaft pivots about an axis substantially perpendicular to that of the conveying axis such that the when the disc is at a first indexed position, the disc interferes with the parcels in the conveyor path, but when the disc is at a second indexed position, the disc does not interfere with the parcels in the conveyor path. Means selectively index the disc supporting shaft about its longitudinal axis while the disc supporting shaft is rotating such that parcels on the conveyor may be correspondingly selectively discharged from the conveying path upon the indexing of the disc supporting shaft which causes the disc to contact the lower surfaces of the parcels and to discharge the parcels.

Granted: 2010-11-09
Abstract: A liquid treatment process is described for sequential removal of ionic species of progressively decreasing ionic strength without precipitation or "scaling." An embodiment of the invention includes dual electrodeionization operations. The first electrodeionization operation is performed at a voltage calculated to remove strongly ionized species such as calcium and magnesium from the feed water without scaling. The product of the first electrodeionization operation is then subjected to a second electrodeionization operation. The second electrodeionization operation is performed at a voltage greater than the first electrodeionization operation, and is designed to remove more weakly ionized species such as silica and atmospheric carbon dioxide. The danger of precipitation or "scaling" normally present during electrodeionization of weakly ionized species is not present in this invention, because the strongly ionized species responsible for scaling at higher voltages have already been removed from the feed stream through the first electrodeionization operation. More than two successive electrodeionization operations may be performed if desired. Multiple electrodeionization operations may occur in a single electrodeionization stack or in multiple electrodeionization stacks.

Title: Coupling low molecular weight compounds to hydroxyalkylstarch via a terminal aldehyde group on the starch
Inventor: ORLANDO MICHELE
IPC: A61K47/36
Filed: 2003-02-28
Granted: 2012-07-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coupling low-molecular substances to a starch-derived modified polysaccharide. The binding interaction between the modified polysaccharide and the low-molecular substance is based on a covalent bond which is the result of a coupling reaction between the terminal aldehyde group or a functional group of the modified polysaccharide molecule resulting from the chemical reaction of this aldehyde group and a functional group of the low-molecular substance which reacts with this aldehyde group or with the resulting functional group of the polysaccharide molecule. The bond directly resulting from the coupling reaction can be optionally modified by a further reaction to the aforementioned covalent bond. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise conjugates formed in this coupling process and to the use of said conjugates and compositions for the prophylaxis or therapy of the human or animal body.
