  • Control of the UV radiation sources for a weathering apparatus on the basis of the averaged radiation intensity
    Patent number: 7544948
    Abstract: The radiation power emitted from the UV radiation sources (2) in a weathering apparatus is controlled such that the radiation power of each of the radiation sources (2) is measured in a predetermined spectral range of the radiation emitted from the radiation sources, with the spectral range being chosen such that the measured radiation power is representative of the radiation power in the UV, an averaged radiation power is calculated from the measured radiation powers, and the averaged radiation power is used for controlling the electrical power to be supplied to the radiation sources (2). In particular, the control process can be carried out in such a way that the same electrical power, within a predetermined tolerance bandwidth, is supplied to each of the radiation sources (2), and the averaged radiation power is kept constant over time at a desired nominal value.

  • Process for obtaining invertase from yeast
    Patent number: 5256556
    Abstract: Invertase is produced by a process wherein, first the yeast cells are disrupted to produce a disrupted cell suspension, second the disrupted cell suspension is adjusted to an acidic pH, third denatured undersired proteins are removed with the cell detritus and lastly the invertase is isolated. The improvement of the invention to the state of the art is that it comprises subjecting the disrupted cell suspension prior to removing the undesired proteins and cell detritus, to a pH of less than 4.5 and to a heat treatment in a continuous thermal denaturation system at a temperature in a range of from 44.degree. C. to about 51.degree. C.
