  • Patent number: 7137518
    Abstract: A telescopic crane, includes a substructure, a superstructure rotatably mounted onto the substructure, a counterweight and a telescoping boom structure which includes a main boom slewable about a luffing plane. The main boom has a boom base and at least one telescope section received in the boom base and displaceable between retracted and extended positions. At least one guy support is mounted to the boom structure and connected to a guy rope which extends substantially longitudinally in the direction of the boom structure. The guy support is oriented with respect to the luffing plane at an inclination which is so selected that a lateral load acting on the boom structure is partially or entirely received by the guying.

  • Patent number: 6787151
    Abstract: Ingestable products for lowering blood total cholesterol, including isoflavone, vegetable protein such as soy protein and phytosterol. The combination of phytosterol with soy protein (which includes isoflavone) is superior to the individual components alone in improving plasma lipid profiles. Preferably the products are food products. The invention is also a method for lowering plasma cholesterol in animals, preferably humans, by feeding compositions having plasma cholesterol-lowering, synergistically effective amounts of isoflavone, soy protein and phytosterol.

  • Patent number: 6036986
    Abstract: An aqueous based tea solids containing beverage is taught which also contains a sufficient amount of cinnamic acid its salts and esters as a flavoring/antimicrobial compound and employs a hurdle approach with selected levels of water hardness, polyphosphate, sequestrants, pH adjustment, benzoic acid and sorbic acid to prevent microbiological outgrowth while simultaneously contributing to the pleasant flavor of the beverage thus making the beverage acceptable both organoleptically and microbiologically.
