Abstract: An anti-scatter collimator is for arrangement in a stacked construction with an X-ray detector. In an embodiment, the anti-scatter collimator includes collimator walls arranged adjacently at least along a first direction. The collimator walls are mutually spaced to provide a through-channel between each pair of adjacent collimator walls. The through-channels provided by the arrangement of the multiplicity of collimator walls are at least partially filled with a filler material.

Abstract: Residue-free production of ethanol and unicellular protein in a gas-fluidized bed, in which ethanol production takes place in a gas-fluidized bed (stirred fluidized bed, fluid column), the particle fraction of which consists of a wet microorganism mass, e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A nutrient solution with fermentable carbohydrates is sprayed onto the fluidized particles. The ethanol, which evaporates with the water, is precipitated in a condenser on the discharge side, so that the fluidized bed serves as bio-reactor as well as one-stage distillation plant (together with the cooling system). Thus, the mash column, which is normally used for alcohol production with the submersion method, is not needed in the present invention. In place of the residue, a protein-rich product with 30-40% dry mass is formed, which, during continuous operation, can be removed at certain intervals from the bioreactor and can be dried to the desired degree.

Abstract: A method of breeding yeast on residual solution containing lactose from dairies, and ground cereals, leguminous products and/or other raw materials, containing sugars and polysaccharides, ammonia being added as the sole inorganic substance.
