Abstract: The teachings herein relate to dried allulose crystals having low water content. The water content of the dried allulose crystals may be at most 0.1 weight percent. Preferably, the water content is at most 0.01 weight percent and more preferably at most 0.001 weight percent. The dried allulose crystals preferably are free flowing. The dried allulose crystals preferably have reduced hygroscopicity and/or improved sensory properties.

Abstract: The teachings herein relate to a process for drying allulose crystals. The process includes a step of providing non-dried allulose crystals. The process includes temperature treating the crystals at a temperature in the range of about 25 to about 70° C. in a drying apparatus to form an intermediate product. The process includes conditioning the intermediate process. The conditioning may be for about 30 minutes to 7 hours at 40 to 70° C. The conditioning may be for about 15 to about 90 hours with air of a relative humidity of about 30 to about 60% at 25 to about 40° C.

Abstract: Non-dried allulose crystals are dried in a temperature treating step (b) in a drying apparatus at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 70° C., and in a conditioning step (c). The temperature treating step (b) may be carried out (b1) at atmospheric pressure and a residence time of about 5 minutes to about 5 hours. The temperature treating step (b) may be carried out (b2) under reduced pressure and constant temperature and a residence time from about 40 minutes to about 5 hours. The conditioning step (c) may be carried out (c1) over a period of about 30 minutes to 7 hours at a temperature from about 40° C. to about 70° C. The conditioning step (c) may be carried out (c2) over a period of about 15 minutes to about 90 hours at about 30 to about 60% relative humidity, and a temperature of about 25 to about 40° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crystalline allulose with a defined particle size distribution, to a process for the production thereof, as well as to the use thereof. The new allulose quality is characterized by the fact that it improves the shelf life of end products made therewith as well as their sensory and taste properties.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a control circuit (202) for a base station (204) for transmitting energy to a receiver (206) by means of an electric resonant circuit (208; 300). The control circuit (202) comprises an evaluation device (210) which is designed to compare energy that has been transmitted to a receiver resonant circuit (212) of the receiver (206) with an energy set value. The control circuit (202) is designed to alter the energy input into the receiver resonant circuit (212) of the receiver (206) by altering a resonant frequency of the resonant circuit (208; 300) on the basis of the result of the comparison.

Abstract: A clamping device (1) for a machine tool (2) for machining at least one dental workpiece (3), wherein the clamping device (1) has at least one workpiece carrier (4) for accommodating the dental workpiece (3) during machining, wherein at least one tool holder (5) for holding at least one, preferably a plurality of cutting tools (6) for machining the dental workpiece (3) is arranged, preferably fixedly, on the workpiece carrier (4), and the workpiece carrier (4) and the tool holder (5) are fastened or fastenable together as one component on a carrier of the clamping device (1) in an exchangeable manner by a fastening device (7) that is non-destructively releasable, preferably without a tool.

Abstract: A crane system for transporting and optionally lifting and lowering a load has an elongated beam, a carriage that can move along the beam, a grab on the carriage for picking up and carrying a load, and an electrical drive for displacing the carriage along the beam. A sensor can detect a force applied to the load to move the load relative to the beam. An electronic controller connected between the sensor and the drive can shift the carriage on the beam by the drive in a direction and at a rate comparable to a direction and magnitude of the force applied to the load carried by the pickup means relative to the carriage and/or beam and detected by the sensor means.

Abstract: A metering device for powdery substances, particularly for preparing dental and dental laboratory powder compounds. The powder compounds can be filled into a storage container (1) and fed from the storage container (1) to a vessel (9) using a discharge device. The lower region (3) of the storage container (1) is tapered, and in the storage container (1) an insert (4) is arranged, which has at least one upwardly tapering section (5), wherein the insert (4) is arranged in the tapered lower region (3) of the storage container (1). A through-passage (7) remains clear between the lower edge (6) of the tapering section (5) of the insert (4) and the tapered lower region (3) of the storage container (1). The insert (4) and/or the storage container (1) is associated with a vibration unit (8). The vessel (9) receiving the metered powder can be placed on a weighing unit (10), wherein the weighing unit (10) and the vibration unit (8) are operatively connected to each other.
