Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for collecting, visualising and/or modifying operating data of at least one machine (10) pertaining to the tobacco processing industry. The method involves calling up the operating data by at least one computer (14, 17-20), and a bus system (15, 16) is provided for the system and the device, by which means the operating data can be transferred between at least one control system (13) and at least one computer (14, 17). The inventive method is characterised in that at least some of the operating data is placed on a web server (18) and can be called up via the Internet (21, 31) and/or at least one intranet (16, 32) by at least one other computer (19, 20) which can be connected to the Internet (21, 31) and/or intranet (16, 32). The inventive device is characterised by a data connection (21) enabling at least some of the operating data to be collected, visualised and/or modified via the Internet (21, 31) and/or at least one intranet (16, 32).

Abstract: A water-based composition having increased pesticidal effect is comprised of (a) glyphosate and (b) cationically derivatized sorbitol and/or cationically derivatized cyclodextrin.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of inulin and/or inulin derivatives for producing skincare products.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a new fractionated polydisperse carbohydrate composition having the following definition: an av. DP which is significantly higher than the av. DP of a native polydisperse carbohydrate composition, significantly free of low molecular monomers, dimers, and oligomers, significantly free of impurities chosen among the group consisting of colourings, salts, proteins and organic acids, significantly free of technological aids such as solubility affecting products. The present invention concerns also the preparation process of the composition according to the invention.

Abstract: A cigarette rod wherein a flexible tubular insert is surrounded by smokable material which, in turn, is surrounded by a wrapper of cigarette paper is formed by advancing the insert from a source at a variable speed toward one or more stations where the running insert is confined between two layers of smokable material. A combined monitoring and regulating system is provided to monitor the extent of sag of the insert between the outlet of the source and the confining station(s), to generate signals denoting the extent of sag, and to regulate the speed of a motor for the insert at the outlet of the source in response to such signals. The purpose of the combined signal generating and regulating system is to maintain the extent of sag of the insert between an upper threshold value and a lower threshold value.
