Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel organic peanut butter formulation and method for production. The peanut butter includes an organic, non-hydrogenated palm stearin oil stabilizing agent that reduces or prevents separation of oils from the peanut butter during storage. Peanut butter incorporating the palm oil, methods for manufacturing the peanut butter, and foods incorporating the peanut butter are also disclosed.

Abstract: A sleeve comprising a hollow elongate body (3) have two ends, which sleeve is suitable for elastically gripping a rolled smoking article or a filter rod for rolled smoking articles in an airtight or substantially airtight fashion; characterized in that the sleeve is formed by molding whereby each end is molded with an annular portion (4, 6) which can be folded circumferentially outwardly without imposing substantial strain on the material of the sleeve. The invention further provides a head assembly for a pressure drop and/or ventilation measuring device comprising such a sleeve, and a method for measuring the pressure drop or ventilation of a roller smoking article or a filter rod, using a pressure drop and/or ventilation measuring device having such a head assembly.

Abstract: A balloon dilatation catheter has a flexible, hollow inner shaft and an outer, braided shaft with a balloon that is inflatable by fluid introduced between the outer and inner shaft. The inner shaft is fixed relative to the outer shaft at both ends such that, when the balloon is inflated, the outer shaft shortens and the excess length of the inner shaft is accommodated by the inner shaft bending into a coil within the balloon.
