  • Publication number: 20170183611
    Abstract: Barley based beverages are produced in large quantities, employing highly energy consuming methods, for example in the malting and brewhouse facilities for kiln drying and wort boiling operations, respectively. The present invention relates to energy saving methods for preparing barley based beverages, as well as to barley plants useful in such methods. In particular, the invention describes barley plants with combined traits of null-lipoxygenase-1 (null-LOX-1), null-lipoxygenase-2 (null-LOX-2) and null-S-adenosylmethionine:methionine S-methyltransferase in one plant, which is particularly useful for energy saving methods to prepare barley based beverages, such as beer.

  • Patent number: 8307598
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an insulating wall system for a building structure, wherein the wall system comprises a first wall having an exterior surface with insulation material attached to the exterior surface of the first wall by elongated fastening members extending through at least one wall member of a second wall and the insulation material and being fixed to the first wall, wherein the elongated fastening members are mounted substantially perpendicular to the exterior surface of the first wall and that the elongated fastening members are mounted pre-stressed with a predetermined amount of tension so that frictional forces between the insulation material and the exterior surface of the first wall and the inner surface of the second wall, respectively, are established. A wall system according to the invention includes fewer components and may provide an improved insulation as the components constituting thermal bridging may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080104919
    Abstract: A mineral fibre board having at least two resilient edges in order to prevent any small gaps in the joints between two adjacent boards when these are installed. The purpose of the invention is to improve the effect of the insulation layer and thereby either reducing the heat loss to a minimum in order to comply with new standards for low energy consumption buildings or to improve the fire properties of a fire protection insulation layer on e.g. steel constructions. The invention also concerns a method for producing the mineral fibre board by mechanical compression by rollers.
