Abstract: During the fine-milling of sugar, the fine material deposited on the surfaces is amorphous and hygroscopic. Excess water which is taken up is released during the subsequent recrystallisation and can cause the formation of clumps. Conventionally, intricate additional measures have been necessary in order to avoid the above. According to the invention, a nozzle (8) for injecting steam is provided in a mill (3), or in a pneumatic supply line (6), connected thereto. The recrystallisation time is reduced by means of the injecting of steam. A pneumatic mixing head (15) is arranged in the frustum-shaped lower section (16) of a collecting chamber (7). Blasts of air are injected into the collecting chamber (7) at short intervals by means of the mixing head (15). The fine-milled sugar collecting there is thus aerated, whilst the recrystallisation continues. The excess water released during the recrystallisation is thus driven off. The icing sugar can be removed in recrystallised form and can be stored and transported without further treatment.

Abstract: L'invention vise à créer un dispositif compact pour étudier la liaison de substances à des molécules cibles, ledit dispositif comportant de nombreuses zones d'échantillons dans lesquelles sont liées respectivement différentes molécules cibles. L'invention vise à également à minimiser les risques de contamination croisée et d'évaporation, et à accroître au maximum la surface active des zones d'échantillons. A cet effet, on utilise des plaques supports qui présentent une grande densité de structures capillaires et possèdent par conséquent une grande surface intérieure et de faibles dimensions extérieures. Par rapport à une surface extérieure plane, de dimension comparable, 1000 fois plus de molécules peuvent ainsi être liées. L'absence de liaisons transversales entre les capillaires empêche une contamination croisée, et la taille réduite de la surface extérieure minimise l'évaporation. Après silanisation de la surface intérieure des capillaires, des peptides et des analogues de peptides sont synthétisés sur cette dernière, avec une orientation locale. L'étude des interactions moléculaires de composants de la bibliothèque de substances avec des principes actifs en solution ou en suspension s'effectue par des procédés de détection optiques à résolution spatiale. La manipulation, notamment le nettoyage et la mise en place des substances, s'effectue facilement par rinçage de la plaque de capillaires au moyen de liquides.

Abstract: A dual discharge valve for immersion in fluid, in a cistern includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion. An upwardly movable main valve assembly within the housing forms therewith a variable volume upper chamber and lower chamber. A first vent means is between the upper and lower chambers and an outlet leads down from the lower housing portion, which portion contains a seat for the main valve assembly at the entry to the outlet so that in the lowered position of the main valve assembly the outlet is blocked against the ingress of fluid. A central stem extends upwardly from the main valve assembly and is actuable by a first operating means remotely from the upper housing to raise the main valve assembly off its seat, the wall of the lower portion of the housing above the seat having apertures. On raising the main valve assembly immersion fluid can enter the outlet, the net upward force thereby causing it to rise to the top of the upper chamber and permit full flow of the immersion fluid through the outlet. A second operating means is actuable remotely from the upper housing, to separately raise the main valve assembly off its seat and then exert a downward force on the main valve assembly, so that at a predetermined intermediate water level, the main valve assembly re-seats.

Abstract: OPC data is transmitted via data networks, in particular the Internet. A bi-directional data connection via the Internet in both directions is enabled even across firewalls and starting from an OPC client, which is not visible as a server on the Internet. To achieve this, a first connection request for establishing a first transmission channel is sent from a first data processing device of an OPC client, via a data connection, to an OPC server of an automation system. The OPC server responds to the request using a second transmission channel. The data connection is thus kept open permanently, allowing data to be sent and received bi-permanently, allowing data to be sent and received bi-directionally, the operations being temporally independent of each other, between the OPC client and the OPC server by at least one data network, in particular, the Internet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling braking equipment of a motor vehicle. Here, an operating state of a motor vehicle is determined, in which the motor vehicle is to be brought from a state, in which its speed is not zero, into a state, in which the vehicle no longer moves. If such a transition from a traveling state into a state of standstill is determined, braking equipment of the motor vehicle is controlled such that braking forces are produced, which are capable of bringing the motor vehicle into the state of standstill and/or assisting a vehicle driver in doing this. It is also possible to produce braking forces in the state of standstill, which are capable of holding the motor vehicle in the state of standstill. The present invention additionally enables to assist a vehicle driver when starting a motor vehicle. In this case, an operating state of the motor vehicle is detected in which the motor vehicle is to be brought from a state of standstill into a traveling state. If such an operating state is present, the braking equipment of the motor vehicle is controlled such that the braking forces produced by the braking equipment in the state of standstill are reduced in such a way as to allow a transition into the traveling state and/or to assist the vehicle driver in this respect.
