  • Publication number: 20170000149
    Abstract: The present invention relates to artificial oil bodies comprising oleosin (which, as presently defined, also encompasses caleosin, steroleosin and polyoleosin), a surfactant such as a phospholipid, and an oil comprising fatty acids, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids having four or more double bonds. The present invention also relates to methods of preparing said artificial oil bodies. These AOBs may further comprise other molecules such as bioactive molecules, used in a wide variety of products, and are particularly useful for producing oxidatively stable oil-in-water emulsions in the absence of added antioxidants. The present invention further encompasses a method for the partial purification of oleosin from a plant extract.

  • Patent number: 9419906
    Abstract: A method is provided for congestion control in a network node (114; 510; 700; 900) of a communication network (701). The network node handles a plurality of data connections (DC1-N; RAB1-N) for conveying data between a first side and a second side of the communication network. The congestion control involves associating the data connections with respective target weights (wk; k=1-N) for Quality-of-Service (QoS) bit-rate differentiation. The method comprises the following steps, performed in the network node. Experienced bit-rates (rk=1-N) are obtained (620) for the data connections (DC1-N; RAB 1-N). For each data connection (DCi; RAB i), a time integrated difference is determined (632) between the data connection's targeted bit-rate according to its target weight (wi), and its experienced bit-rate (ri). Then, for each data connection, an adjusted weight (w?i) for QoS bit-rate differentiation is calculated (634) based on the determined time integrated difference and the target weight (wi).

  • Publication number: 20160165935
    Abstract: A method of formulating a foodstuff includes determining a target flavour intensity of the foodstuff, determining one or more concentrations of one or more chemical stimuli to achieve the target flavour intensity of the foodstuff according to a flavour model, determining one or more concentrations of one or more ingredients of the foodstuff to achieve the determined concentrations of the one or more chemical stimuli, and formulating the foodstuff according to the determined concentrations of the one or more ingredients. The flavour model includes one or more stimulus intensity functions, each stimulus intensity function defining a relationship between a concentration of a chemical stimulus and a sensory stimulus intensity, and a flavour intensity function defining a relationship between a sensory stimulus intensity and a flavour intensity.

  • Patent number: 8969748
    Abstract: A switch device including a bus bar, and a switch knife, wherein the knife is arranged so as to pivot around an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bus bar. The bus bar presents a projection which is an integrated part of the bus bar, and the knife is pivotable to a first position, in which it directly contacts said projection, and to a second position in which it is removed from contact with said projection.

  • Patent number: 8875498
    Abstract: A pump system that includes a pump, an injector and a regulator with a calculation unit. The regulator controls the pump to pump a liquid through a hose to the injector which opens and closes in response to an injector control signal, the time for an opening and closing cycle being called injector cycle and designated Ts, and the injector's open period being designated ?. The injector has a pressure sensor to measure the pressure of the liquid in the injector and to deliver to the calculation unit a pressure sensor signal representing the pressure amplitude in the injector. The calculation unit calculates the hose's rigidity B as a function of measured pressured amplitudes A in the injector, the injector cycle Ts and the injector's open period ?, and the regulator determines the basis of B the control signal to the pump.

  • Patent number: 8369058
    Abstract: A Compact Secondary Substation including a fault protection system and a method for fault protection in Compact Secondary Substations (CSS). The CSS includes a Ring Main Unit (RMU), a transformer and a Low Voltage (LV) switchgear. The CSS includes a number of detectors, which detectors can be placed at least in one of the RMU, the transformer or in the LV switchgear, which detectors can be connected to a control unit, which control unit by fault detection by the detectors can activate a fast operating switch for grounding. By using the fast operating grounding switch and controlling this on the basis of the detectors placed inside the CSS, an active arc fault protection is achieved. The control unit also controls the fast operating grounding switch so that it works as a working grounding switch.
