Abstract: A device for feeding a converting unit with a web substrate, the converting unit converting the substrate when stopped. The device includes a main drive roller rotating on a main shaft a main electric drive motor (14) rotating (T) the main roller (12), a satellite roller oscillating about the main roller (12), between upstream and downstream on the path of a substrate. Two lateral levers secured to the main shaft hold the satellite roller and are mounted on the main shaft. The substrate is maintained between the main and satellite rollers to change cyclically between a constant speed to a zero speed at the exit side of the satellite roller. At least one secondary electric drive motor oscillates the main shaft, the two lateral levers and the satellite roller.

Abstract: A complete and reproducible process for producing novel strains of yeast, comprises making a first screening test and at least one other screening test selected from a group of screening tests which do not resort to any measurement of gas release, selecting by means of said first and at least one other said screening test the desired strains from a group of diploid strains prepared previously either by hybridation, or by mutation of existing strains. The tests are as follows: A first test consists of measuring the average multiplication coefficient of a given strain by following the optical density variation of a standard medium seeded by a suspension of cells obtained from this strain. A second test consists of measuring in the same manner the average multiplication coefficient of the said strain in the presence of an inhibitor acid added to the standard medium.
