  • Patent number: 9623057
    Abstract: The method of making a fermented dairy product from camel milk includes heating camel milk at 85° C. for thirty minutes, cooling the milk to about 60° C. and adding a stabilizer or hydrocolloid (preferably 0.02% by weight ?-carrageenan) to avoid whey off (whey separation) problems, then cooling the milk and adding a probiotic bacterial culture. The camel milk is fermented at between 40° C. and 45° C. for a time ranging between 4 and 12 hours, depending upon the particular bacterial culture used. The fermented camel milk is subjected to three successive storage steps to enrich the D-amino acid, antioxidant and antimicrobial content, storing the fermented camel milk at a temperature of 10° C. for 14 hours, then storing the fermented camel milk in a cold room at a temperature of 4° C., and then storing the fermented camel milk in a refrigerator at a temperature of 4° C. for between 1 and 15 days.

  • Publication number: 20160040528
    Abstract: A tapered magnetorheological (MR) valve includes a first fixed housing that remains in a fixed position along a central axis of the tapered MR valve. The first fixed housing defines a first surface of a MR fluid channel that is at an angle with respect to the central axis of the tapered MR valve. A second housing moves linearly along the central axis of the tapered MR valve. The second housing defines a second surface of the MR fluid channel that is at the angle with respect to the central axis of the tapered MR valve. The first fixed housing and the second housing together define a first MR fluid chamber and a second MR fluid chamber interconnected by the MR fluid channel. The second housing moves linearly between a first position and a second position along the central axis of the tapered MR valve.

  • Publication number: 20160024893
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable medium having one or more computer programs stored therein, and computer-implemented methods are provided to enhance probing of hydrocarbon reservoir simulation models. Embodiments can utilize an application programming interface (API) to interrogate one or more different hydrocarbon reservoir simulation response surface model proxies (surface model proxies) associated with hydrocarbon reservoir simulation models. The API (a proxy API) can be configured to include preselected operations, and surface model proxies can be in a common image format. Surface model proxies can be interpreted to retrieve simulation data associated with the surface model proxies responsive to operations of the proxy API. Results of operations of the proxy API can also be displayed to probe a hydrocarbon reservoir simulation model associated with a surface model proxy and to thereby estimate probabilities of simulation outcome for potential simulation scenarios yet to be run.

  • Publication number: 20140296528
    Abstract: The 4-aryl-1-(biarylmethylene)piperidine compounds are piperadine compounds having a biaryl substituent linked to the nitrogen atom of the piperidine ring by a methylene (—CH2—) group, and an aryl moiety attached to the 4-position of the piperidine ring. The aryl moiety may be a methoxy quinoline group, a 2-oxo quinoline group, or a 2-oxo, 3,4-dihydroxy quinoline group. The biaryl substituent may be biphenyl, fluorophenyl benzene, 3-phenyl pyridine, 3-(4-fluorophenyl) pyridine, phenyl cyclopentene, or 3-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl) pyridine. The compounds are believed to be suitable for anti-psychotic medication, since they are structurally related to SLV-313, a potential atypical antipsychotic having potent D2 receptor antagonist and 5-HT1A receptor agonist properties.
