Abstract: A can testing device for measuring pressure and temperature in a sealed container wherein a strap encircles the body of the container circumferentially and a probe affixed to the strap penetrates the sidewall of the container to allow instruments for measuring the temperature and pressure of the container contents to come into physical contact with said contents.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a device for measuring turbidity in static or dynamic streams wherein the fluid has up to 8500 ppm solids and at depth of up to 8". The device contains a high intensity light source, means for controlling the wavelength of the transmitted light to between 550-900 nm to filter out color variables in the streams, and a very sensitive photosensor aligned with the viewing means for picking up the light transmitted through the streams.

Abstract: A process for recovering active gallotannin for reuse comprising the extracting of dried schoene sludge (about 5% moisture) with a mixture of about 88 vol. % acetone--12 vol. % water to solubilize the gallotannins. The solvent is evaporated off, the residue is treated with water to solublize the gallotannins. After filtration, the clarified water solution is extracted with ethyl acetate. Evaporation of ethyl acetate leaves purified gallotannin which can be redissolved in water and spray dried to produce reusable powder. A preliminary step of separating yeast from the gallotannin protein complex involves treating with 60% acetone/40% H.sub.2 O at room temperature before making the solution about 88:12 acetone:water.
