Publication number: 20120128840Abstract: Method of preparing an edible oil, characterized by an increased shelf-life, and edible oil obtainable by such method is provided. A method of preparing an edible oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, is described, including the operation of introducing a predetermined number of olives having a polyphenolic content ranging between 1000-3000 mg of polyphenols/kg of olives in a predetermined volume of oil. In a preferred embodiment, the olives are preventively treated with an anti-mould agent, and are dehydrated, preferably by thermal treatment in an oven at a temperature ranging between 80° C. and 160° C., so as to achieve the elimination of a water amount ranging between 1% and 30%, preferably between 7% and 15%, more preferably of about 10%. The method of the invention allows obtaining an edible oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, having an increased polyphenolic content, thereby an increased shelf-life, while maintaining the organoleptic characteristics unaltered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2012Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: COSTA D'ORO S.P.A.Inventors: Umberto Bracco, Giovanni Morchio, Mauro Leonardi, Ivano Mocetti

Patent number: 7963565Abstract: An adapter (1) for cleaning a medical appliance comprises a fluid channel (2) with an inlet (3) and at least one outlet (4.1), at least one outlet being provided with a coupling unit (5.1) for an opening of a medical device. The coupling unit (5.1) is designed as a single-use coupling which, after the medical device has been coupled for the first time, generates a leak in the fluid channel at the time of uncoupling. This ensures totally hygienic cleaning of medical devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Oro CLean Chemie AGInventor: Ursula Suter

Patent number: 7955633Abstract: There is disclosed an edible oil composition, particularly for use in frying and cooking foods, which has a high stability under thermal stress, with less development of degradation products during frying and cooking and less absorption of these degradation products on the surface of the food. The composition consists of a mixture of vegetable oils characterized by a ratio by weight (R) of monounsaturated fatty acids to polyunsaturated fatty acids in the range from 5 to 8, a percentage by weight of saturated fatty acids (S) in the range from 18 to 22%, and a content of antioxidants in the range from 50 to 500 ppm. Advantageously, these antioxidants are produced by molecular distillation from natural lipid starting materials.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2006Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Costa D'Oro S.p.A.Inventors: Umberto Bracco, Mauro Leonardi, Giovanni Morchio

Patent number: 7813540Abstract: A system and method for detecting metal contraband such as weapons related material in shipping containers where a container is scanned with at least one penetrating beam, preferably a tomographic x-ray beam, and at least one image is formed. The image can be analyzed by a pattern recognizer to find voids representing metal. The voids can be further classified with respect to their 2 or 3-dimensional geometric shapes. Container ID and contents or bill of lading information can be combined along with other parameters such as total container weight to allow a processor to generate a detection probability. The processor can use artificial intelligence methods to classify suspicious containers for manual inspection.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Oro Grande Technologies LLCInventor: Clifford H. Kraft

Patent number: 7611611Abstract: There is disclosed a structure of an electrode for use as an anode and/or a cathode in an electrolytic cell. The electrode structure is characterised by a conductive frame (10) having a number of liquid through flow openings (18) and including means (20) for connection to current a supply, in that one or both plane sides of the frame is covered with a conductive perforated foil or a wire mesh, and the wire mesh includes spacer means (18) being adapted to cover the surface structure of the frame (10). A method for preparing said electrode and use of the anode and cathode are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2003Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: ORO, ASInventor: Jarle Belt

Patent number: 7558671Abstract: A handheld personal unit that can estimate a user's position in 3-dimensional space by determining a horizontal position and an altitude. GPS or assisted GPS can be used to determine the horizontal position, while barometric pressure assisted altimetry can be used to determine altitude accurately enough to localize the user to a particular floor of a particular building, and many times to a particular room. An artificial intelligence system can access one or more databases to provide data to the user that is related to the user's position in 3-dimensional space. This data can come from a database either stored in the handheld device or stored at a separate remote location. If a remote location is used to provide data and current barometric pressure (and possibly GPS assist), this station can access other remote stations, as needed, to supply the information. The handheld unit and/or the remote station can optionally access the internet to seek information related to the user's location in 3-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Oro Grande Technology LLCInventors: Vasilios D. Dossas, Clifford Kraft
