20110136187 | Process - A process of water degumming an edible oil (preferably a crude edible oil) comprising the steps of: a) admixing approximately 0.1-5% w/w water with an edible oil (preferably a crude edible oil) and a lipid acyltransferase, b) agitating the admixture for between about 10 minutes and 180 minutes at about 45 to about 900 C, and c) separating the oil phase and the gum phase. Preferably said lipid acyltransferase is a polypeptide having lipid acyltransferase activity which polypeptide is obtained by expression of the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 49 or a nucleotide sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith; and/or is obtained by expression of a nucleic acid which hybridises under medium stringency conditions to a nucleic probe comprising the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ No. 49; and/or is a polypeptide having lipid acyltransferase activity which polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 68 or an amino acid sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith. In one embodiment the lipid acyltransferase is preferably used in combination with a phospholipase C enzyme. A process for modifying the gum phase of a degummed oil using a lipid acyltransferase is also taught herein. | 06-09-2011 |

20120184772 | ALKYLATION OF TRIIODO-SUBSTITUTED ARYLAMIDES IN AN AQUEOUS MIXED SOLVENT SYSTEM - The present disclosure is directed to a process for preparing an alkylated triiodo-substituted arylamide, such as iodixanol, the process comprising contacting a triiodo-substituted arylamide, such as 5-acetamido-N,N′-bis(2,3-dihydroxylpropyl)-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide, and an alkylating agent in the presence of a base and a mixed solvent system comprising a non-aqueous solvent and water, wherein the volume ratio of the non-aqueous solvent to water is greater than 1:1. The process advantageously enables the concentration of any impurities or undesirable byproduct from the reaction to be reduced, while increasing the yield of the desired reaction product. | 07-19-2012 |

20090263256 | HEAD FOR A PERISTALTIC PUMP - A head for a peristaltic pump that may be used for delivering ink to a flexographic printing press includes a housing and a roller assembly. The housing is adapted to receive a flexible tube. The housing has a curved wall and a clamp. The clamp secures the flexible tube within the housing. The clamp has an open position and a closed position. The clamp is in the open position when the flexible tube is able to move through an entrance and exit in the housing. The clamp is in the closed position where a first section of the flexible tube is secured in the entrance and a second section of the flexible tube is secured in the exit. The first and second sections are secured where they are not able to be pulled into the housing but are able to gradually slip out of the housing allowing the head to pump in both directions. The roller assembly is rotatable within the housing. The roller assembly rotates about an axis through the housing. The axis is coaxial to the curved wall in the housing. The roller assembly includes at least two compression rollers and at least one guide roller. The compression rollers are peripherally spaced where each of them come successively into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. Successive compression rollers compress two portions of the flexible tube against the curved wall to confine a finite volume of fluid in the flexible tube. The guide rollers are peripherally spaced between the compression rollers where each of them comes into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. The guide rollers guide the flexible tube to stay centered with the compression rollers and initiate decompression of the flexible tube to return to a partial compression dimension. Fluid is moved through the flexible tube by rotation of the roller assembly. | 10-22-2009 |

20110094602 | Swivel safety breakaway connector - A safety breakaway connector has a male fitting and a female fitting inserted into one another. The female fitting includes a swivel that rotates about an angle to a breakaway portion of the invention. The swivel has a female portion connected to the breakaway portion and a male portion that pivotally connects to a nozzle. The male portion has an axis spaced apart from the axis of the breakaway portion. The male portion rotates or pivots about the female portion subject to a biased cam. The biased cam has a ball bearing that travels within a race formed in the male swivel. The biased cam provides an offset to the connector so that a fuel line in communication therewith avoids an orientation perpendicular to the direction of travel of a vehicle. The breakaway portion then detaches the fuel line cleanly from the swivel that remains with the fuel nozzle. | 04-28-2011 |
20130180600 | ORVR valve assembly - An ORVR valve assembly operative of relatively few movable components includes a valve body, having conduits to provide for routine passage of vapors therethrough through operations of a vacuum assist system. This is when a non-ORVR vehicle is being replenished with fuel. But, when a vehicle equipped with ORVR vapor recovery is being fueled, vacuum is generated above a piston supported diaphragm, attracts the diaphragm upwardly, plugs off the vapor passage conduits, and allows the ORVR system of the automobile to exclusively treat the generated vapors at the location of the vehicle and its fuel tank. Simultaneously, air is vented into the valve body, below its diaphragm, and into the vapor return line of the vacuum assist system, to prevent it from being subject to excessive vacuuming. Thus, vapor recovery or treatment can be achieved through the use of the ORVR valve assembly of this invention, regardless whether the automobile being refueled is an ORVR equipped vehicle, or one that is not equipped with vapor recovery. | 07-18-2013 |
