Abstract: The present invention is directed to medical or dietary treatments comprising administration of a zymogen such as chymosin or other rennins. Embodiments of the invention are directed to treating infant colic, heartburn, gastro-esophageal reflux (GER), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, and recurrent abdominal pain. The invention is also directed to improving absorption of calcium from milk for osteoporosis patients. Further the present invention may have a very positive effect on life quality for groups with different chronic digestion problems such as ulcerous colitis, multiple sclerosis, migraines, weight disorders and diabetes. Infants may be given several drops of a composition containing chymosin prior to every feeding, regardless of whether they are bottle or breast-fed. The composition containing chymosin can also be incorporated into a food product such as drinking milk or baby formula.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming slotted wire screens is provided. According to one embodiment, the method involves the steps of (1) providing support ring material; (2) positioning a wire on the support ring material; (3) joining the wire and the support ring material; and (4) bending the support ring material to form a ring of a radius. The steps of joining and bending are performed at substantially the same time. According to another embodiment, the apparatus includes a device for pushing support ring material; a device for providing the support ring material with an adhesive, such as a brazing compound; a device for positioning a wire on the support ring material; a heating zone for heating the support ring material and the wire; and a device for bending the support ring material.

Abstract: A wear element comprising a wear plate of a hard, typically ceramic material, locked in a dovetail recess of a bracket made of steel. The bracket consists of two initially separate parts comprising a respective one of the two inclined dovetail wedge surfaces of the dovetail recess. The two parts are welded together when positioned with their respective wedge surfaces tightly engaging a respective one of two complementary inclined surfaces formed on the wear plate.
