  • Publication number: 20240129599
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to methods, systems and computer-readable media for generating overlay graphics for a broadcast transmission or generating broadcast augmentation instructions. An example method comprises: receiving a broadcast transmission stream of an event from a camera, the broadcast transmission stream comprising a series of images; receiving a stream of event data corresponding to the series of images, the stream of event data comprising object information regarding an object in the series of images; defining an overlay element based on the stream of event data, the overlay element being associated with the object in the series of images; augmenting the broadcast transmission with the overlay element to generate an augmented broadcast transmission, the augmented broadcast transmission comprising the series of images overlayed with the overlay element.

  • Publication number: 20240003790
    Abstract: A method of extracting a substance comprising the steps of: placing a substrate on which a substance has been adsorbed into a container; feeding a solvent into the container whilst restricting its exit to achieve a predetermined pressure of the solvent in the container, wherein the solvent has a critical point and the predetermined pressure is above the critical point of the solvent; releasing the solvent and an extract comprising extracted substances into a separator; reducing the temperature and pressure in the separator to remove a gaseous portion of the solvent from the extract; collecting the extract remaining from the separator.

  • Patent number: 10259837
    Abstract: A method of extracting at least one rhamnolipid compound from a rhamnolipid fermentation mixture, the method comprising the steps of: (a) admixing an inert adsorbing support with a rhamnolipid fermentation mixture; (b) dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent at a temperature higher than 31° C. and at a pressure higher than 73 bars; (c) separating at least one fatty compound; (d) adding a co-solvent to said organic solvent; (e) modifying temperature and/or pressure; (f) separating a first rhamnolipid compound; and (g) separating a second rhamnolipid compound.

  • Patent number: 10017710
    Abstract: A method of fractionating a mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) containing composition by loading the composition onto an adsorbing support, separating a fraction which is enriched in MELs from the support using supercritical carbon dioxide, and optionally separating one or more further fractions enriched in MELs from the support using supercritical carbon dioxide and an optional co-solvent. The MELs can be obtained at high concentration by using only “green” solvents.

  • Patent number: 8128898
    Abstract: A process (10) for at least partially removing hydrogen cyanide from synthesis gas includes feeding a synthesis gas (30) containing hydrogen cyanide to a gas-liquid contacting stage (18) and, in the gas-liquid contacting stage (18), contacting the synthesis gas with an aqueous washing solution (36) comprising at least one dissolved metal salt, with metal cations of the metal salt being capable of forming metal cyanide complexes and/or metal cyanide precipitates, and weak acid anions of the metal salt serving to buffer the pH of the washing solution in a range between 6 and 10. Hydrogen cyanide is washed from the synthesis gas by the washing solution to form a treated synthesis gas (38) and a spent washing solution (40). From time to time or continuously, at least a portion of the spent washing solution is withdrawn from the gas-liquid contacting stage. The treated synthesis gas (38) is also withdrawn from the gas-liquid contacting stage.

  • Publication number: 20100055235
    Abstract: A mixture of the hard resins, lipids and waxes obtained by solvent extraction of hops can be effectively utilized in brewing processes to suppress foaming. The mixture is typically the residue obtained by extraction of hops with liquid carbon dioxide, or other solvents, followed by extraction of alpha acids, beta acids and essential oils from the whole hop extract. The mixture of natural products is at least as effective as silicone antifoams, and has been shown to improve fermentation rates because the presence of hop lipids has a positive effect on yeast metabolism.

  • Publication number: 20080302752
    Abstract: A beverage container for the storage of a carbonated drink comprising a container body (10) including an opening (11) and removable closure means (12) for closing the opening (11), the closure means comprising a foil (20) which provides a gas tight seal for the opening (11). The arrangement may be such that a tendency of forces acting on the foil (20) due to pressure within the container to separate the foil (20) from the container body (10) by peeling away therefrom is reduced e.g. by the provision of a collar (12A) to limit deflection of the foil (20) adjacent the bond therebetween and/or by the shape of the rim (15) of the container body (10), so the closure is capable of withstanding higher internal pressures than would otherwise be the case.

  • Patent number: 6595597
    Abstract: For indicating relative rotational displacement between a fixed first member, such as a stud (20) on a wheel hub, and a second member, such as a wheel nut (22), which is rotatably engaged with the first member, a safety device (24) comprises a body (26) having a bore formed with equispaced grooves enabling the device to be releasably secured to the second member (22) in one position of a plurality of positions and having indicating means, such as a pointer (28), to indicate the position of the device (24) relative to a reference, such as a mark (32) on the rim (16) covering the wheel hub (14). The bore within the body (26) is closed at one end, e.g. by bevelled top wall (36), so that the body additionally serves as a dust cap for the conjoined first and second members (20, 22).

  • Patent number: 6561124
    Abstract: In order to provide a visible indication of loosening of a nut or a bolt relative to another member to which it is threadably engaged, a rotation indicator assembly comprises a first element, which is permanently secured to the nut or bolt and a second element which is adapted to be releasably and non-rotatably mounted in or on the first element, e.g. by interengagement with teeth in any chosen rotational position, and incorporates means, such as pointer, for indicating its rotational position relative to a fixed reference. The first element may take the form of an insert, an integral formation, or an external fitment. The fixed reference may be provided by an independently mounted marker secured by the nut or bolt.
