Abstract: A process for stabilizing a liquid that contains a first type of polyphenol includes measuring the liquid's spectrum, comparing it to a reference spectrum, based on the comparison, estimating an amount of the first type of polyphenol, based on the amount, adding a specified quantity of an insoluble stabilizing agent to the liquid, feeding the stabilizing agent and the liquid to a filter unit, at the filter unit, separating the stabilizer from the liquid, and discharging the liquid. The specified quantity is based on the amount.

Abstract: A device for filling containers with a liquid by supplying the liquid at a predetermined rate of flow, the rate of flow being predetermined as a function of one or more parameter value(s) measured in parallel and in combination with rate values of at least one prior filling operation associated with the parameter values includes a sensor for measuring a parameter value at a fill point, an adjustable valve for presetting the rate of flow, and a control unit that adjusts the valve in accordance with the parameter value, the control unit having a memory in which are stored rate values of a prior fill operation associated with the parameter values, and that predetermines the current rate of flow in combination with the parameter values by making corresponding adjustments of the valve.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is a container, in particular a large-volume disposable container made of plastic, such as a keg (1) for holding liquids of all types, for example, for holding beverages. The container is equipped in general with a connecting fitting (2) having a gasket (3). According to the invention, the connecting fitting (2) and/or the gasket (3) define an unclosable passage (9) for reducing pressure inside the container during the subsequent automatic closing operation after a previously defined opening operation.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing and filling kegs with beer in a keg filling plant, which keg filling plant is disposed within a single building. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

Abstract: The method and the device are used to monitor the intensity of an electron beam. In order to detect changes in intensity of the electron beam, electromagnetic radiation directly or indirectly emitted by the electron beam is detected and evaluated. This particularly refers to the evaluation of ultraviolet radiation and/or radiation in the range of visible light.

Abstract: A beverage bottling plant for filling bottles with a liquid beverage filling material having a device for the feeding and removal of containers, in particular for the feeding of upright kegs, barrels, cans, bottles and similar containers from a conveyor belt to a linear conveyor or revolving carousel turntable or also for the return of said containers to a removal conveyor belt with a star wheel, the star pockets of which or the arms of which can be brought at least partly in contact with the container and which are realized so that they can be adjusted to accommodate different containers The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for identifying objects (1), particularly machines, consumer items, such as bottles (1), and to parts thereof. To this end, a surface of the affected object (1) is scanned entirely, or at least in the area of a partial surface (8), wherefrom at least one result is derived. According to the invention, the natural surface of the object under inspection (1) is converted to digital characteristic values, wherein the said digital values are compiled into at least one key (9, 10).
