  • Patent number: 9777342
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of separating and recovering xylose from a xylose-containing plant-based solution. The method is performed in a chromatographic separation system, which comprises one or more weak base anion exchange resins and optionally one or more other resins selected from strong acid cation exchange resins and weak acid cation exchange resins, by passing the solution through the separation system, followed by recovering at least one fraction enriched in xylose. Optionally, a rhamnose fraction may also be recovered.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8921541
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved nanofiltration process for separating and recovering components, such as sugars and sugar alcohols from multicomponent mixtures. The process of the invention is characterized by collecting the nanofiltration retentate/permeate in several fractions with different purity, optional recycling of at least one of the collected nanofiltration retentate/permeate fractions to the nanofiltration and recovering the desired component from the nanofiltration permeate/retentate fractions by different methods. In one embodiment of the invention, the process comprises a combination of nanofiltration and chromatography.

  • Publication number: 20110205942
    Abstract: A method of reordering and pairing the set of elements, such as Control Channel Elements (CCEs), coming out of an interleaver for a channel, such as the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), in such a way that power balancing provides almost equal impact on all Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols reserved for the control channel, while also taking the suggestions for the power balancing into account is provided. Corresponding apparatuses and computer programs are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7819459
    Abstract: A convertible vehicle having an openable roof structure (1), said vehicle comprising a trunk lid (5), said trunk lid being supported by a guide linkage (6). The roof structure (1) is lowerable into a folding-top compartment (7) located in an upper region of the trunk (8) of the vehicle under said trunk lid. The vehicle also comprises a frame (9) on which said trunk lid (5) is articulated via said guide linkage (6). The frame (9) is supported to the lower rear end region of the bodywork by a flexural spring (10) enabling turning of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20070112187
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process of recovering arabinose and optionally other monosaccharides from vegetable fiber rich in heteropolymeric arabinose, such as gum arabic. Said other monosaccharides are typically selected from galactose and rhamnose. The process of the invention comprises controlled hydrolysis of the arabinose-rich vegetable fiber and fractionation of the hydrolysis product to obtain a fraction enriched in arabinose and optionally other product fractions followed by crystallization of arabinose. The invention also relates to a novel method of crystallizing arabinose from biomass-derived material. Furthermore, the invention relates to novel crystalline L-arabinose.

  • Patent number: 4593517
    Abstract: Packing method and apparatus for packing consumer packages directly onto a pallet. First the packages are arranged to form a load layer on a support plate, which plate and load layer is supported at its sides by a guide plate. Then the support plate is removed so that the load layer is immediately slid onto the empty pallet located below the support plate or on top of a previous layer located on the pallet. Now the pallet together with its load layer, is lowered the height of one load layer so that the load layers are supported on all sides by the guide frame and as new packages emerge from below the guide frame they are simultaneously wrapped in the final wrapping material. The method can be modified so that after the load layer supported by the guide frame is formed on the support plate, the plate is lowered and removed so that the load layer is slid onto the pallet located at standard height below the support plate or on top of the previous load layer located on the pallet.
