Publication number: 20120329135Abstract: Disclosed is a process comprising (1) forming an aqueous mixture comprising a microbial composition and solid chitin, wherein said microbial composition comprises one or more microbes that produce chitin digesting enzymes; and (2) fermenting the mixture for a time sufficient to enzymatically digest all or part of the chitin to form a fermented mixture comprising chitosan and glucosamine. In some embodiments, the chitin is derived from the biodegradation of chitin containing marine Arthropods. In other embodiments, the chitin and other components contained in fungi, filamentous fungi and yeast can be obtained, for example, by the biodegradation of chitin containing fungi, filamentous fungi, yeast and/or insects, preferably using HQE for the digestion. In some embodiments, the process is carried out with a solution that already contains chitosan and/or glucosamine such as HYTb, the aqueous fraction obtained from the biodegradation of chitin containing organisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: AGRINOS ASInventor: Jaime López-Cervantes

Publication number: 20120024841Abstract: The present invention provides system for testing an electrical winding element that is usually a stator bar or a stator winding. The stator bar is attached to a short circuit conductive element to form a closed short circuit of a single turn that acts as a primary circuit. The closed short circuit is connected to a step-up transformer that will act as a secondary circuit and which has at least two turns. The step-up transformer uses a controlled variable voltage source that charges the closed short circuit. Charging the closed short circuit creates a current in the stator bar inner conductive element, causing heat on the stator bar by induction. The system of the present invention is suitable for an accelerated thermal aging test that simulates closely how heat is created by induction on stator bars of electric machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Jose Armando Bohorquez Cortazar, Andres Emiro Diez Restrepo, Juan Carlos Toro Londoño, Jairo Leon Restrepo Velasquez, Hector Diego Gonzalez Sanchez, Hugo Alberto Cardona Restrepo, Gabriel Jaime Lopez Jimenez, Idi Amin Isaac Millan, Emiro De Jesus Diez Saldarriaga
