  • Publication number: 20240132293
    Abstract: A feeding screw machine for feeding a processing screw machine comprises a housing with at least two housing bores formed therein and screw shafts rotatably arranged in the at least two housing bores. The at least two housing bores and the at least two screw shafts define a free volume in a respective cross-sectional plane, which decreases monotonically at least in some regions for continuous compression of a material in a conveying direction. This enables an improved supply of material with a low bulk density.

  • Patent number: 10228145
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a cooking chamber having a loading opening which is closable by a door. A light pattern projector is arranged in a fixed manner relative to the cooking chamber and configured to generate and radiate a light pattern into the cooking chamber. A camera captures images from a region being irradiated by the light pattern projector when the cooking chamber is closed, and is arranged in a fixed manner relative to the cooking chamber, Coupled to the camera is an analysis facility which repeatedly calculates a three-dimensional shape by light pattern analysis of an object located in the region being irradiated by the light pattern projector during operation of the cooking appliance.

  • Patent number: 8141051
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to perform runtime trace filtering associated with application performance analysis are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves generating a first performance value based on first performance data associated with a first function of a first application process. A difference value is generated based on the first performance value and a historical performance value associated with the first function. The difference value is compared to a threshold value, and first trace data associated with execution of the first application process is collected based on the comparison of the difference value to the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20110034678
    Abstract: The present invention provides large-scale methods for renaturation of proteins comprising adding a solution of denatured, chemically modified or reduced proteins to a refolding buffer containing sulfate derived from H2SO4 and/or MgSO4 in the presence of guanidine. The present invention further provides methods of isolating a refolded protein at a concentration of about 0.4 to 3.0 gm/L by using a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) column.

  • Publication number: 20050216383
    Abstract: Telecommunications customers must frequently utilize the facilities of many different telecommunications service providers in order to transmit data from one location to another. When a telecommunications customer encounters a network problem, that customer usually must navigate a complicated web of service providers and equipment owners in order to receive meaningful technical assistance from a human technician. The present invention is designed and intended to facilitate human interactions for technical support and administrative tasks by associating customer, contract, circuit, equipment, key personnel, billing, and telco information in a database for efficient data presentation and information retrieval. Resolution of the logistical problem of tracking circuit information is achieved by organizing the information and displaying important data concurrently.
