  • Nutritional composition which contain non-digestible polysaccharides and use thereof to reduce transport through tight junctions
    Patent number: 6730661
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of one or more non-digestible polysaccharides selected from the group consisting of dextrans having a molecular weight of 8 kD to 40,000 kD, hydrolysed (gluco)mannans having a molecular weight of 0.5 kD to 1,000 kD and hydrolysed (galacto) mannans having a molecular weigth of 0.5 kD to 1,000 kD for the preparation of a nutritional composition to reduce the uptake of high molecular weight substances, allergens and microorganisms through the intestinal wall, more particularly to reduce transport of high molecular weight substances, allergens and microorganisms through the tight junctions in the intestines, the rise in the viscosity of the nutritional composition caused by the polysaccharides being less than 20 mPa.s.

  • Nutritional compositions which contain slightly negatively charged, non-digestible polysaccharides and use thereof for reducing transport through tight junctions
    Patent number: 6686341
    Abstract: A nutritional composition which contains slightly negatively charged non-digestible polysaccharides having a molecular weight of 8 kD to 40,000 kD, characterized in that the rise in the viscosity of the composition caused by the polysaccharides is less than 20 mpa·s. This nutritional composition is used to reduce the uptake of high molecular weight substances, allergens and microorganisms through the intestinal wall, more particularly to reduce transport of high molecular weight substances, allergens and microorganisms through the intestinal wall, ore particularly to reduce transport of high molecular weight substances, allergens and microorganisms through the tight junctions in the intestines.

  • Press tool and an adaptor and a press therefor
    Patent number: 5245854
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press tool with a receiving structure end for receiving into a receiving structure of a folding press, which end is connected via a central portion to a tool end, comprising at least one safety member which can protrude out of a side surface of the receiving structure end, to an adaptor therefor and to a press equipped therewith.

  • Clamping device
    Patent number: 5022256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device for the clamping of at least one piece of tooling, for instance an upper tooling or a press, which device comprises:two clamping jaws moveable towards and away from one another, between which the tooling can be clamped,pressure means, for instance at least one hydraulic cylinder for pressing the clamping jaws towards one another with force at energizing thereof, andat least one locking element present between the clamping jaws for co-action with an edge present on the tooling,such that the tooling in the absence of energizing of the pressure means can be pushed with at least one edge over the locking element, hook over the edge, and thus prevents the tool from falling,and is characterized in thata resilient strip, which is attached between the clamping jaws to one clamping jaw and which as a result of its own resilience lies in untensioned state at a distance from a pressure surface of this clamping jaw, whereby in the absence of energizing of the pressure means, the
