Patent number: 6518443Abstract: The oil seed is first of all comminuted and then formed into flakes by means of rolling, before it is supplied to the recovery of oil. The flakes are charged into a transporting mixer, to which steam and/or water are supplied at the same time, and the flakes in the mixer are transported to the outlet of the mixer with a dwell time of 5 to 50 seconds. With a moisture content of 8 to 20 wt-% and with temperatures in the range from 90 to 110° C., the flakes are withdrawn from the mixer and passed through an annealing zone, in which the flakes are moved over heated trays with dwell times of 15 to 50 minutes and temperatures in the range from 90 to 110° C. The flakes are withdrawn from the annealing zone with a residual moisture which still amounts to at least half the moisture content at the inlet of the annealing zone, and are passed through a drying and cooling zone in which the flakes are converted to granules which are supplied to the recovery of oil.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: MG Technologies AGInventors: Wolfgang Beyer, Rüdiger Heilmann

Patent number: 6390373Abstract: A chip card comprising a memory chip and/or processor chip is characterized by the presence of a mirror memory to which any new internal stored data are transferred by an external read or write device whenever the memory chip and/or processor chip carry out an operation. The mirror memory thus has stored data corresponding to the stored contents in the memory chip and/or processor chip, and an LCD display or similar device with a voltage supply from at least one solar cell or the like. The mirror memory is lined to the LCD display or similar device with a voltage supply from at least one solar cell or the like. The mirror memory is linked to the LCD display in such a way that the data stored in said memory can be displayed by the LCD display.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1999Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Inventors: Wolfgang Beyer, Klaus Nolte, Heinz Karl Peppler
