Patent EP-0831729-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUSHNELL ANDREW H
IPC: A23L3/22
Filed: 1996-03-06
Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and apparatuses for preserving fluid foodstuffs. More particularly, it is directed to methods and apparatuses for extending the shelf life of perishable fluid foodstuffs such as dairy products, fruit juices and liquid egg products, which contain significant levels of microorganisms. The improved methods and apparatuses incorporate a plurality of electric field treatment zones with cooling units between each pair of treatment zones in order to maintain the temperature of the pumpable foodstuff at a level at which microorganisms are killed in sufficient numbers and at which changes in the flavor, appearance, odor, or functionality of the foodstuff remain within acceptable ranges. For a comparable microorganism kill, foodstuffs prepared by the present process have significantly higher quality than foodstuffs prepared with standard thermal processes (e.g., ultra-high temperature pasteurization).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DK96/00182 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 5, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 5, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 23, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33675 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 31, 1996A garment (1) is disclosed for fixing a urine bag (2) on the leg (3) of a user. The garment includes a tubular part (6) having elastic bands (9, 10) at its ends, said bands fitting tightly around the leg (3) of the user. The tubular part is provided with an integrally formed pocket (11), the tubular part being formed by a dual layer knitted structure except in the area of the pocket (11). At the pocket bottom (13) there is an opening (14) for the discharge pipe (15) of the urine bag. The garment (1) is manufactured easily in endless webs, which are separated, and subsequently the two end edges (31, 32) are knitted together (33) in order to form the tubular shape. The garment provides safe fixing of the urine bag (2) as the latter will be supported inside the pocket (11) and be held against the leg of the user due to the elastic bands (9, 10), which are dimensioned so as to be able to carry a full urine bag. Owing to the use of elastic threads across the height of the garment, the full urine bag is held against the leg of the user without collapsing.

Abstract: Described is a method and a system (5) for detecting the arterial oxygen
saturation of hemoglobin (also called blood oxygenation, SpO2 or SaO2
measuring), comprising a measuring device (10) for performing a blood
oxygenation measurement and a controller unit (40). The measuring device
(10) is controllable by the controller unit (40) so that the blood oxygenation
measurement can be performed non-continuously. In a first step the measuring
device (10) is powered on, in a second step the blood oxygenation
measurement is performed, and in a third step the measuring device (10) or
parts thereof are powered down, whereby the three steps are repeatable
periodically. This provides SpO2 measurement applicable in telemetric or
handhold instruments.

Abstract: A selective calling personal receiver has a special buzz
tone to alert the user of receiving an urgent reminder to a first
urgent message which has not been acknowledged. When a call
is received by the present receiver, a master control section
checks the call number by referencing against the call numbers
stored in its flash memory. If there is a match, the control
section retrieves the just-received message attached to the
call number, and stores the message in its buffer memory. The
just-received message is compared against the stored message,
and if the contents of the two messages are identical, then a
special buzz tone is sounded so as to be certain that the user
realizes that a reminder to an urgent stored message has been
received. The just-received message is displayed on the display
screen. If the just-received message is a new message which
is not identical to the stored message, then the just-received
message is displayed on the display screen and the user is
notified by following a normal reporting protocol.

Abstract: A spin-on water-separating fuel filter has a built-in central drain tube (60) for providing a sump port (63) at the connection end of the spin-on filter located near the fuel inlet and fuel outlet ports. Water removed from the fuel is collected in a sump (36) at the base of the filter. The drain tube (60), supported in the bore of the filter element (40), has a sump end (64) projecting into the sump (36), and an outlet end (62) adjacent to and aligned with a central threaded opening at the connection end of the filter. The outlet end (62) of the drain tube (60), self-centered near the threaded opening, has a captured gasket which forms the sump port. When the filter is installed on the mounting head (11), the outlet end (62) of the drain tube (60) is coupled to a short stub tube (16) projecting from the center of the central threaded neck (14) to form a sealed passage for evacuating water from the sump.

Abstract: Found were a p-aramid microfilament yarn and a process for
manufacturing the same. In the p-aramid yarn, which has a yarn linear
density of at least 300 dtex, comprising a bundle of filaments with a linear
density of less than 0.8 dtex, the g value is higher than 2.5 GPa, the
elongation (EAB) is higher than 3.4%, and the L002 value is higher than
350Å. More particularly, the filament linear density is 0.3 to 0.8. The yarn
according to the invention has surprisingly favorable properties, such as
a high internal shear modulus. The invention also pertains to a process
for manufacturing such a microfilament yarn in which p-aramid is
subjected to an air gap-wet spinning process of the known type, in which
the draw ratio in the air gap combined with the diameter of the capillaries
through which the polymer is extruded ensures that microfilament yarn
having the desired properties is obtained.

Abstract: A reeling machine is claimed capable of working with a coil of aluminium welding wire with a weight equal to or greater than 40 kg, with an ecological coil support and drive mechanism allowing the advance of the wire without sticking. The reeling machine (D) comprises a motor reduction gear (M,20) for the drive mechanism rotating the coil (B), some inlet gates (1,2), an upper wall (7), two lateral walls (4,5) and a bottom (3) extending to a bottom wall (6) opposite the inlet face and where the wire (F) emerges after having followed a given path. The reeling machine incorporates some means that allows the positioning of the bottom (3) in one of two positions corresponding to a position for charging the coil and a working position. Some means for regulating the speed of defilement of the wire (F) incorporates a mobile pulley (15) carried on a shaft (18), of which the mobile axis is mounted in a potentiometer (19), and two pulleys (14,16) with a fixed axis (14 to 16,18), the wire (F) passing around these pulleys. The potentiometer (19) regulates the speed of defilement of the wire (F) as a function of the position of the carrying arm (18). Advantageously the path of the mobile pulley (15) is limited by some thrust blocks in order to prevent this pulley from knocking against the other elements of the reeling machine in case of too brutal a variation in the defilement speed of the wire.
