  • Publication number: 20220378057
    Abstract: Directly heating a protein-enriched milk product occurs by introducing steam, the direct heating taking the form of an infusion or injection method. The described technique significantly extends service time, ensuring a content of non-denatured whey proteins in the treated protein-enriched milk product greater than that obtained in the prior art. The milk product, which is preheated and kept at temperature is indirectly cooled before direct heating by a recuperative cooling step from the preheating temperature to a cool-down temperature with a temperature difference ranging from 5 K to 10 K. The direct heating from the cool-down temperature to the high pasteurization temperature is controlled by direct heating setting parameters which are known per se. Finally, the milk product is cooled by flash cooling from the high pasteurization temperature to a necessarily required exit temperature.

  • Publication number: 20220258069
    Abstract: The industrial production of an extract by means of solid-liquid extraction improves the exchange of substances during extraction and allows enhanced dehumidification of a raffinate with residual moisture. The extraction is enhanced during a first dwell time by at least partially flooding a vessel in the form of at least one flow discharged with a secondary solvent or the obtained extract, swirling and keeping in suspension the primary mixture within the vessel by supplying the secondary solvent or the obtained extract via a foot area of the vessel, and/or moving the vessel relative to the extraction container within the obtained extract. The secondary solvent or the extract circulates in the extraction container by a circulation guide incorporating the extraction container from top to bottom relative to the extraction container, and the extract freed from raffinate with residual moisture obtained by dehumidification is supplied to the separated or to be separated extract.

  • Patent number: 10675222
    Abstract: A drug dispenser assembly comprising: a drug dispenser for dispensing a drug in a dispense event; and a skinprint analyser configured to receive a skinprint, preferably a fingerprint, of a user. The skinprint analyser is further configured: to perform a verification test regarding the identity of the skinprint; to conduct a chemical analysis for the presence of a metabolite in the skinprint; and to produce data indicative of results of the verification test and the chemical analysis. The drug dispenser assembly further comprises an actuator configured to actuate a dispense event in the event that the results of one or both of the verification test and the chemical analysis meet one or more predetermined conditions.

  • Patent number: 7360443
    Abstract: A test bench for carrying out aerodynamic measurements on vehicles is equipped with at least one contact surface for detecting the vehicle weight, a running belt for simulating the roadway moving under the vehicle, and at least one measuring device for determining forces acting upon the vehicle. According to the invention, the moving belt for simulating the roadway also forms the at least one contact surface for detecting the vehicle weight, and the running belt is in its entirety supported by a weighing plate, which is disposed via a bearing device relative to a stationary environment. At least one measuring device determines the forces acting upon the vehicle as a function of the movement of the weighing plate relative to the stationary environment.
