Patent EP-1406508-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAGER ERNST
IPC: A23K20/147

Abstract: Die steigende Zahl von BSE-Erkrankungen bei Rinder in den letzten Jahren wird mit der Verfütterung von Tiermehl, Tierblutmehl sowie Tierknochemehl in Verbindung gebracht. Schlachtabfälle von Schafen (Scrapie-Erreger), Ziegen (Scrapie-Erreger) sowie von Rindern (BSE-Erreger) werden zu Tiermehl, Tierblutmehl sowie Tierknochenmehl verarbeitet und an Rinder verfüttert. Alle in Europa angewendeten Verfahren zur Tiermehl-, Tierblutmehl- sowie Tierknochenmehl- Herstellung sind erwiesenermassen nicht sicher, um die Erreger abzutöten und so einen Schutz gegen die Übertragung der Krankheit (BSE) zu bewirken. Bei diesen Verfahren wird das Rohmaterial (Tierkadaver und Abfälle) zerkleinert, erhitzt und getrocknet. Nach Abpressen des Fettes wird das Material zu Knochenmehl gemahlen. Die dabei zur Sterilisation aufgewendeten Temperaturen sind jedoch nicht in der Lage, den Erreger zu zerstören. Somit kommt infektiöses Fleischknochenmehl und ebenfalls infektiöses Tierfett in den Futterkreislauf. Tiermehl, Tierblutmehl sowie Tierknochenmehl wird an Rinder, Schweine, Schafe, Geflügel und Zuchtfische verfüttert. Das hier dasgestellte Verfahren und die Methode bildet eine neuen Ansatz zur Zerstörung und Vernictung der im Tiermehl, Tierblutmehl sowie Tierknochenmehl enthaltenen Proteine und damit der Erreger der Prionenerkrankungen. Das Prinzip beruht auf der chemischen Zerlegung der Proteine (Eiweisse) in ihre Einzelteile, die Aminosäuren. Durch diese Methode können keine Information und somit keine Krankheit mehr übertragen bzwl. ausgelöst werden. Auch das bei der Krankheit BSE beteiligte Protein wird in seine Bestandteile zerlegt und kann somit nicht mehr seine schädliche Wirkung entfalten. Nach der vollständigen Aufspaltung wird die Lösung mit den Aminosäuren neutralisiert (pH- neutral durch zusetzen von basischen oder sauren Neutralisationsmitteln) und die Aminosäuren durch Trocknen als Feststoff zurückgewonnen werden. Dieser Feststoff kann dann anstelle des heutigen Tiermehl, Tierblutmehls sowie Tierknochenmehls in der Landwirtschaft eingesetzt werden (z.B. als Tierfutterzusatz).

Abstract: The invention relates to a well tool actuator and method. A fluid pressure intensifier
is placed in the well and coupled to the downhole device to be manipulated. By
using a fluid pressure intensifier the actuation pressure can be increased to a
pressure sufficient to operate or manipulate the downhole device without the
necessity of increasing the tubing pressure. The actuation pressures supplied by the
intensifier can exceed the safe operating rated pressures of the well tubing and
equipment. The well tool actuators of the present invention are self-contained in that
they are powered from the tubing fluid pressure itself without a high-pressure
hydraulic or electrical connection to the surface. Subterranean hydraulically actuated
well tools can be actuated at higher pressures than the supplied pressure. Fluid
pressure intensifiers circuits can be assembled in and carried downhole with the
actuation tool and removed once the actuation process is complete. Also, fluid
pressure intensifier circuits can be assembled as a part of the well tool and operated
remotely.

Abstract: A conventional MPEG video encoder searches forward motion vectors with respect to a previous image and backward motion vectors with respect to a subsequent image in order to provide a motion-compensated prediction image for encoding B-pictures. This requires 2N accesses to the memory in which said images are stored. Searching the motion vectors for P-pictures requires N memory accesses. The invention uses the spare capacity by running a two-pass motion vector search in the P-coding mode. In the second pass, the precision of the motion vectors found in the first pass is further refined. This provides more accurate motion vectors for P-pictures.

Abstract: The invention concerns photvoltaic converters that work under high intensity light and
provide high efficiency. Said converters generate photovoltaic electricity at low costs,
which is very interesting for the photovoltaic industry. They can be used in
thermophotovoltaic systems and remote supply systems via optical fiber. The converter is
characterized by the following features: a) its semiconductor layers are made of
compunds III-V; b) photolithography is used to manufacture it and c) its size ranges from
a few tenths to tens of square millimiters. Other optoelectronic techniques may be used
for manufacturing such as wire welding, separation of the converters on one same wafer
by sawing, point cutting and cleavage. Its design parameters are estimated by means of
multivariable optimization. The situation in which the incident light has the shape of a
cone and originates from a medium with any given refraction index is taken into account
in the operating conditions.
