  • Patent number: 9512382
    Abstract: In alternative embodiments, the invention provides phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes, nucleic acids encoding them, antibodies that bind specifically to them, and methods for making and using them. Industrial methods and products comprising use of these phospholipases are also provided. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for hydration of non hydratable phospholipids (NHPs) within a lipid matrix. The methods enable migration of NHPs to an oil-water interface thereby allowing the NHPs to be reacted and/or removed from the lipids. In certain embodiments, provided is a method for removing NHPs, hydratable phospholipids, and lecithins from vegetable oils to produce a degummed oil or fat product that can be used for food production and/or non-food applications. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for hydration of NHPs followed by enzymatic treatment and removal of various phospholipids and lecithins.

  • Publication number: 20150330295
    Abstract: A method of controlling the operating speed of an engine accessory driven by a belt connected to an engine crankshaft. A planetary gear set is interposed between the belt and the accessory, the planetary gear set having a planet gear carrier, at least one planet gear, a sun gear, and a ring gear. The sun gear is connected to an input mechanism of the accessory. The planet gear carrier is connected to the belt, via a pulley. The ring gear is connected to a generator. An excitation current is applied to the generator, which loads and slows the ring gear. This excitation current can be varied to provide a desired operating speed of the accessory.
