Abstract: A photonic AC-DC voltage and current equivalence converter includes: a photonic chip; a weak thermal link; an isothermal region; a resistive electrode; an isothermal region photonic nanoresonator; an isothermal region waveguide; a chip photonic nanoresonator; and a chip waveguide, such that an ac voltage is determined from matching a temperature rise of the isothermal region due to a primary elevated temperature of the isothermal region when ac voltage is received by the resistive electrode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protein powder which contains at least one protein source and a stabilizer, selected from esterified pectin and/or carboxymethyl cellulose, which is obtainable by mixing a protein source with a stabilizer, heating the mixture, homogenizing the mixture, and drying the mixture, thereby obtaining a powder. The invention also relates to a method for producing said protein powder, a method for producing a protein-containing drink using said protein powder and a protein-containing drink obtained by said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extract obtained from by-products of hard-shelled fruit and pulse processing characterised in that the by-products are selected from membranes and fruit residues of hard-shelled fruit, pulses or mixtures thereof, a method for producing the extract and its use as a colorant or additive, especially in foods, and for the production of coating films.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a water-dispersible formulation containing carotenoids. The ?-carotene was dissolved in n-isobutyl acetate and the hot solvent phase was dispersed in a modified water starch solution. The isobutyl acetate was then evaporated. The solvent traces were removed by water vapor distillation at low pressure. The dispersion as then dried. The ?-carotene thus obtained is used as colorant, particularly in the food industry. It has improved characteristics in terms of stability, solubility, color transfer to polar and apolar media and possibility of compressing into tablets with reduced porosity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of generating an application for a control system. A control process is defined by a physical model and a topological model. An application generator utilizes the physical and topological models to generate an application for the control system.

Abstract: Derivatives of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin having the following structural formula: ##STR1## where R is 2-acetyl, 3-propionyl, 4-butyryl or 5-valeryl and X is an unlabeled or radioiodinated amino radical; e.g., (tyrosine, histidine, tyrosinol, histamine). A preferred compound is radioiodinated 5,5-diphenyl-3-(5-valeryl-N-tyrosine) hydantoin. The iodine isotope may be iodine -125 or iodine-131.
