Patent EP-0421200-B1 (EP)
Inventor: FRAESSDORF DIETER DIPL-ING
IPC: C13B30/06

Abstract: 2.1 A method in which two or more centrifuging stages situated spatially one above the other with intervening mashing are carried out in a common housing has not hitherto been possible in the case of highly viscous suspensions or/and suspensions which tend to form lumps. Such a method is used, for example, in the sugar industry, to treat the second sugar massecuite, and the object of the invention is to make it usable also for such highly viscous massecuites. 
<??>2.2 This object is achieved in that, before it enters the first centrifuging stage, the material to be centrifuged is viscosity-reduced and homogenised by the action of shearing force to such an extent that it can be fed to the centrifuging as a creamy massecuite and distributes itself uniformly on the screen of the first centrifuging stage. 
<??>2.3 This method is suitable for all highly viscous suspensions or/and suspensions which tend to form lumps, in particular in the sugar industry for treating the low-grade sugar massecuite, the so-called C sugar.

Abstract: The conductive film, in this case in the form of a mask (1), is used for the application of pulsed electric currents, delivered by the generator (9) and applied via conductive plates (4a, 4b) at the ends of an elastic hoop (3), to the facial skin. The mask (1) is formed by application of a polymerisable gel consisting typically, by weight, of 20% of polyvinyl alcohol (Rhodoviol TM  30/70), 10% of ethanol, 2% of water-soluble lanolin and 1% of glycerol. The gel remains conductive until polymerisation is complete, in the space of approximately half an hour, which corresponds to the normal treatment period. When polymerised, the mask (1) is insulating and flexible, and is removed in one piece.

Abstract: A family of metalloproteinases exist which cleave extracellular matrix molecules. These metalloproteinases are secreted in a latent inactive form and require activation in order to specifically cleave the preferred substrate. A series of peptides have been prepared based on the complete sequence analysis of type IV procollagenase. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to cysteine repeat regions and histidine containing regions; the mechanism of action of these peptides involves inhibition of binding of the enzyme to the substrate. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to the peptide cleaved off during activation, and constitute a novel class of metalloproteinase inhibitors. These inhibitors are members of a series of peptides which contain the core amino acid sequence RKPRC or analogs thereof. The cysteine residue is required for activity. Affinity purified antibodies directed against specific peptides can be used to a) detect any general metalloproteinase enzyme with the sequence in part VAAHE or PRCGNPD, and distinguish it from other known members of the metalloproteinase family, b) block functional domains resulting in the inhibition of enzyme activity, and c) distinguish latent from activated forms of the enzyme.

Date Sep. 7, 1990.Identification system constituted by an interrogation station or interrogator 1 itself formed by a radio frequency wave transceiver and preferably on an ultra frequency wave length 5, and, on the other hand, by a responder unit 2 adapted to receive the wave and to re-emit (echo) it following the given coded modulation to the responder unit. The interrogator is adapted to receive this echoing wave 11 and to demodulate it in order to derive the identification code therefrom. The interrogator has an emission antenna adapted to emit an inquiry signal constituted by a radio wave emitted in plane polarization. The responder unit has two adjacent antennas, respectively, for the reception of the inquiry wave and for its re-emission (echo) after modulation. The two antennas are of the circular polarization type and each functioning in a direction of rotation of the polarization opposite with respect to each other. This allows a differentiation between the emission inquiry signal and the response signal, since the inquiry signal wave is received by a circular polarization-type antenna of the responder unit according to a first rotation direction of the polarization. The responder unit is adapted to re-emit a modulated response signal constituted by a radio wave of the same kind as the inquiry wave of circular polarization-type according to a second rotation direction of the polarization in the opposite direction to the first rotation direction.

Abstract: Process for making a beverage or ingredient therefor comprises forming an alcoholic solution of at least one flavoured component comprising alcohol-soluble oil, e.g. citrus fruit oil, diluting the alcoholic solution with water or water/alcohol mixture to form an emulsion which is then filtered through a static filter system to separate the emulsion and the filtrate collected. The static filter system used comprises a composite filter bed incorporating solid filter aids A and B to be used in a sequence A first and then B, filter aid B being more compact and having a finer filtering action than A. The process is especially applicable to naturally occurring flavoured substances, preferably in the form of an alcohol-extracted oil and flavour transfer to an aqueous alcoholic medium can be more efficient than counter-current extraction or tincture techniques.
