Abstract: A process for conducting vapor phase deposition is disclosed. The process separates a series of reactions through a sequence of reaction reservoirs. In some particular embodiments, the reactor includes a reactive precursor reservoir beneath a powder reservoir separated by valve means. A reactive precursor is charged into the reactive precursor reservoir and a powder is charged into the powder reservoir. The pressures are adjusted so that the pressure in the reactive precursor reservoir is higher than that of the powder reservoir. The valve means is opened, and the vapor phase reactant fluidized the powder and coats its surface. The powder falls into the reactive precursor reservoir. The apparatus permits vapor phase deposition processes to be performed semi-continuously.

Abstract: Triethylboron is a useful precursor for depositing films in an atomic layer deposition process. This precursor is useful for depositing boron containing films. Boron containing films are excellent lubricating coatings for zinc powders, improving their flow properties and simplifying powder handling. This makes the coated zinc powders especially useful for battery applications in which a zinc powder is used as an anode material.

Abstract: A cartridge microreactor includes a tubular heater, a metal capillary reaction tubing and a brazing alloy. The tubular heater includes an inner tube surrounded by an outer heater sheath. The metal capillary reaction tubing has a high aspect ratio, an inlet port and an outlet port and is wrapped around the tubular heater so that it is in intimate thermal contact with the heater sheath. The brazing alloy permanently bonds the tubular heater with the metal capillary reaction tubing. The metal capillary reaction tubing is configured to be heated by the tubular heater and is configured to receive one or more reactants through the inlet port and to allow the reactants to react under a selected temperature and pressure and to produce one or more products exiting through the outlet port.

Abstract: Titanium dioxide particles are coated first with an interstitial coating and then with silicon dioxide or alumina. The coatings are suitably applied via an atomic layer deposition process. The interstitial coating preserves the bright white coloration of the particles after they are coated. The particles therefore can be used as pigments and white fillers in polymers, paints, paper and other applications.

Abstract: A frozen dough which does not need to be thawed and proofed prior to baking. The dough includes a specific leavening system consisting of sodium or potassium bicarbonate and a leavening acid wherein sodium or potassium bicarbonate is present in the amount of from 3.2% to 3.7% and the leavening acid is present in such an amount as to completely neutralize the bicarbonate. The dough also includes yeast in the amount necessary to impart aroma and flavor of a proofed product.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with water-continuous non-dairy creams (NDC) with 20-50 wt. % of fat and optionally thickeners and emulsifiers. These NDC's are stable and spoonable and display preferably Stevens values of 10-500 g.

Abstract: Substitute milk fat especially as a replacement fat in infant formulations comprises 2-saturated glycerides especially 2-palmitic acid glycerides, in which the 1, 3 positions are randomly occupied substantially by different shorter chain and/or unsaturated fatty acids. These glycerides are prepared by selective rearrangement of glycerides using 1, 3-regiospecific lipase enzymes as rearrangement catalysts, preferably in acidolysis rearrangement using unsaturated acid or alkyl ester thereof.

Abstract: A pneumatic exercising device for the development of muscles, the maintenance of muscle tone, and for the medical rehabilitation of muscles affecting the movement of a person's limbs and the like, comprising a vertically rising frame member including two air pressure controlled work stations, each work station being adapted for multiple exercises, a source of compressed air, and a plurality of members extending outwardly from the vertically rising member. The exerciser works against a constant pressure applied to a pneumatic cylinder and depending on the exercise, is either pulling or pushing against the cylinder. The exercising machine is designed to allow a person to do a plurality of workouts on one machine. Some of the workouts that can be done with this exercising machine are bench, incline bench, decline bench, military press, squats, leg press, leg extension, leg curls, dead lift, shrugs, pullups, arm curls, lat pulldowns, and incline sit ups.
