Abstract:

A new method is described of providing mental stimulus to a subject suffering significant cognitive and/or sensory impairment or deterioration, for example a subject having a medically diagnosed dementia such as Alzheimers disease, and thereby enhancing the subjects psychological condition. The method of the invention comprises causing the subject to handle an article comprising a plurality of pieces that (a) individually have a surface layer formed of a soft fabric, and (b) collectively exhibit differing tactility when handled by the subject.

International Classification:

A23L003/16

US Classification:

426/521000

Abstract:

A continuous method using gaseous carbon dioxide or a pressurized flow of liquefied carbon dioxide is described to reduce microbial and/or enzymatic activity in a liquid product. The carbon dioxide is combined with a pressurized flow of the liquid product, or the mixture is pressurized after the mixture is formed. The pressure and temperature in the flow regions are maintained at a level which is sufficient to keep the carbon dioxide in a continuous liquid state, but which does not freeze the liquid product. The pressurized mixture of the carbon dioxide and liquid product flows through a reaction zone for a sufficient time to reduce harmful microorganisms and/or inactivate enzymes and then enters one or more expansion stages wherein the pressure of the mixture flow is sufficiently decreased to vaporize the carbon dioxide for separation from the liquid product. If necessary, heat is applied in at least one of the expansion stages to prevent a freezing of the mixture.

Abstract:

A new method is described of providing mental stimulus to a subject suffering significant cognitive and/or sensory impairment or deterioration, for example a subject having a medically diagnosed dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, and thereby enhancing the subject's psychological condition. The method of the invention comprises causing the subject to handle an article comprising a plurality of pieces that (a) individually have a surface layer formed of a soft fabric, and (b) collectively exhibit differing tactility when handled by the subject.

Filed:

Dec 20, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/451513

Inventors:

James T. Forbes - Arlington Heights IL

Assignee:

UOP Inc. - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

B01J 800
C01B 2100
C01B 1700

US Classification:

423239

Abstract:

A process is disclosed for treating particle-containing gas streams by removing particles and gaseous atmospheric pollutants. Parallel passage contactors are utilized to remove the gaseous pollutants. The minimum required gas flow rate for effective operation of these contactors is maintained by recycling a variable amount of low temperature gas which has been passed through a particle removal zone. The recycled gas is reheated by heat exchange against a portion of the treated gas.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

An improved sulfur recovery process is disclosed. Sulfur oxides are removed from stack gases with an acceptor. Sulfur oxides are recovered from the acceptor in a periodic regeneration step. The sulfur oxides in the regeneration off gas are concentrated by use of an absorber-stripper. The absorber absorbs sulfur oxides with an absorbent, and the stripper liberates concentrated sulfur oxides from the absorbent. Key feature of the process is use of two vessels to contain absorbent. Only when significant amounts of sulfur oxides are being absorbed is absorbent sent to a rich absorbent holding tank. Regenerated absorbent and absorbent from the absorber which does not contain much sulfur oxides are sent to the lean absorbent tank. Main advantage of operating with two tanks is optimum use of the stripper, which is fed with absorbent containing a constant and high concentration of sulfur oxides.
