Abstract: A process for producing a filler from brewer's spent grain. The process comprises a) comminuting the brewer's spent grain, b) heating the brewer's spent grain, c) optionally, fermenting the brewer's spent grain, d) optionally, reducing the moisture content of the brewer's spent grain, and e) optionally, mixing the brewer's spent grain with at least one flavor-modifying food additive, such as a sugar substitute(s) and/or an aroma. The brewer's spent grains may be withdrawn from a mash, such as a beer or a barley mash. The comminuting of the brewer's spent grain in step a) may be a milling. Reduction of the moisture content may be effected mechanically, in a first substep d1), and thermally, in a second substep d2). Also disclosed are a filler obtained or obtainable by this process, a use of such a filler and a foodstuff comprising at least one such filler.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a compressor suitable for delivery of pressurized fluid to a pressurized fluid system, wherein the delivery of the pressurized fluid to the pressurized fluid system can be cycled on and off as a function of a temperature signal received from a temperature sensor. The delivery of pressurized fluid is turned off when the temperature signal exceeds a temperature limit value that is based on the backpressure caused by the pressurized fluid system. Time criteria can be superposed on the temperature limits for controlling the activation and deactivation of the compressor. A preferred area of application of the invention is in vehicle pneumatic suspension systems, including systems having multiple modes of operation.
