  • Patent number: 5927332
    Abstract: The device for distributing a "secondary" fluid resulting from a mixture of at least two "primary" fluids is of the kind comprising a body in two parts separated by a flexible sealing-tight wall, connected at one side to "inlet" ducts, each for one of the primary fluids, and an "outlet" duct for the secondary fluid, the ducts all communicating with one another via a mixing chamber and each comprising a means for monitoring the flow rate of fluid which they contain, the means being situated on the other side of the flexible sealing-tight wall and controlled by drive means.

  • Patent number: 5882765
    Abstract: An element made of a reinforced low density heat protective material including an elastomer and/or a silicon resin matrix loaded with organic and/or inorganic components, wherein the reinforcement is formed of glass or ceramic thread sections or the like or organic materials fitted in the mass of the matrix along directions approximately orthogonal to at least one of the faces of the element and being flush, at least at one of their extremities, with at least one of the faces. The method for obtaining this element, includes, after molding to the general dimensions and shapes of the element with the aid of a loaded silicon matrix, placing the thread sections by stitching.

  • Patent number: 4232598
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for the separation and isolation of coffee aroma constituents from roasted coffee, combining the aroma constituents with an edible substance and subsequently incorporating the aromatized substance in a food product.The process involves improving the condensation of vapors generated from the distillation of coffee oil by condensing the distilled aroma constituents onto a sleeve cooled by and snugly surrounding a container filled with coolant. The sleeve is removed and the aroma constituents condensed thereon are then preferably combined with an edible substance by manipulating the condensed constituents quickly and efficiently thus minimizing aroma loss and degradation caused by undesirable prolonged contact with air.
