Publication number: 20110200718Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for producing a composite dairy product by co-filling viscous components and obtaining a spiral or spiral-like product aspect. Advantageously, the method does not require rotational movements of filling nozzles for obtaining the product aspect and thus provides a reduction in the overall complexity of the filling equipment. The composite dairy product comprises a container comprising at least one transparent portion, and wherein a viscous component is visible as a substantially discontinuous stretch on said transparent portion of the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2009Publication date: August 18, 2011Applicant: NESTEC S.A.Inventors: François Swertvaegher, Jean-Marie Delattre, Jean Moreau

Publication number: 20050235192Abstract: At the receiver in a wireless communications system, the likelihood of a false CRC pass that can occur when a weak received signal produces an all ZERO output from a convolutional or a turbo decoder is minimized. To prevent an all ZERO output, a convolutional decoder selects from among those determined equally most likely transmitted sequences of bits in a data block one that has a weight greater than the one having the minimum weight. A turbo decoder selects a ONE rather than a ZERO as the value of a transmitted bit in a data block when for that bit a bit value of a ZERO and a ONE are determined to be equally likely.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2004Publication date: October 20, 2005Inventors: Pierre Bernadac, Peter Gunreben, Hongwei Kong, Jean Moreau

Patent number: 6171634Abstract: To prepare a food product, dehydrated pregelatinized starch and a mixture of hydrated gelatinized starch, fat and water are introduced into an apparatus for mixing and cooling the same to a temperature between −8° C. and −3° C. so that a frozen mixture is obtained from the apparatus, and then the frozen mixture is cut into portions and the portions are frozen. The hydrated gelatinized starch may be prepared by treating a dehydrated pregelatinized starch in admixture with water and fat so that it hydrates and swells, or it may be obtained by heating native/raw starch in admixture with water and fat by heating to hydrate and gelatinize the starch.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Nicolas Marjanovic, Alfred Morand, Jean Moreau

Patent number: 5401698Abstract: In ceramic welding processes, oxidizing gas and a mixture of refractory and fuel powders are projected against a surface and the fuel is burnt to generate sufficient heat that the refractory powder becomes at least partially melted or softened and a cohesive refractory weld mass is progressively built up against that surface. In order to reduce any tendency for the weld mass to include a low-grade refractory phase and thus promote the refractoriness of that weld mass, the fuel powder is present in a proportion of not more than 15% by weight of the total mixture and includes at least two metals selected from aluminum, magnesium, chromium and zirconium, in that at least the major part by weight of the refractory powder consists of one or more of magnesia, alumina and chromic oxide, and in that the molar proportions of silica and calcium oxide present in the refractory powder (if any) satisfy the following expression:molar concentration of SiO.sub.2 in %.ltoreq.0.2+molar concentration of CaO in %.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1993Date of Patent: March 28, 1995Assignees: Glaverbel, Fosbel International Ltd.Inventors: Leon P.

Patent number: 5001949Abstract: An apparatus is used for cutting guide tubes of a nuclear fuel assembly below an end-piece and removing the end-piece. The apparatus includes a mount which may be removably locked and centered on the end-piece. Cutting tools insertable in the guide tubes each include a hollow shaft whose end part is split by longitudinal slits into radially expandable fingers each having a cutting edge. A stem movable axially along each shaft cooperates therewith for spreading the fingers out radially and retracting them. The shafts are mounted for rotation on a plate which is vertically movable with respect to the mount by a jack and carries a motor for simultaneously rotating all shafts. The shafts are carried by an expansion unit movable vertically with respect to the plate by a jack and including the stems. A method for separating the end-piece with the apparatus is also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1988Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: FramatomeInventors: Jean-Albert Beneck, Claude Quayre, Jean Moreau, Daniel Vermeille
