Abstract: In an air-cooled turbine blade which, at the blade tip, has a shroud-band element extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the blade, a plurality of cooling bores passing through the shroud-band element for the purpose of cooling, which cooling bores are connected on the inlet side to at least one cooling-air passage running through the turbine blade to the blade tip and open on the outlet side into the exterior space surrounding the turbine blade, improved and assured cooling is achieved owing to the fact that the cooling bores run from inside to outside in the shroud-band element at least approximately parallel to the direction of movement of the blade and in each case open upstream of the outer margin of the shroud-band element into a surface recess open toward the exterior space.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of producing and pre-distribution preparing unfrozen, expanded ice cream mix with superior storage and shelf-life properties.Starting ingredients necessary for producing the ice cream mix are mixed together, whereafter the mix is heat-treated or otherwise treated so as to exterminate micro-organisms, in particular pathogenic bacteria, present in the mix. The thus treated mix is expanded and subsequently packed in packages ready for distribution.Ice cream mix produced according to this method has extended shelf-life and can be stored in the unfrozen state for long periods of time with retained pristine freshness qualities, without any requirement of cold storage at extremely low storage temperatures.
