Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100106551METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESS MANAGEMENT - Process management involves identifying a thread in response to an electronic messaging operation of a process. The thread includes data that collectively describes states and relationships of interrelated tasks of the process. A state of the thread is generated in response to the electronic messaging operation. The state of the thread represents a state of the process. A user interface rendering of the thread is facilitated in response to the electronic message operation.04-29-2010
20100107164Method, System, and Apparatus for Process Management - Process management involves facilitating the application of a user action to an electronic document that changes a state of a thread. The thread includes data that collectively describes states and relationships of interrelated tasks of a process. Metadata of the electronic document is changed to reflect the changed state of the thread. The changed metadata is communicated via an electronic messaging operation of the process to update the changed state of the thread.04-29-2010
20100107165METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESS MANAGEMENT - Process management involves determining a thread from metadata embedded in an electronic document that used in the performance of a process via an electronic messaging operation. The thread includes data that collectively describes states and relationships of interrelated tasks of the process. User role data is determined from the thread, and processing the electronic document by a participant of the process is facilitated. Processing of the electronic document is governed by the user role data relative to a user role of the participant in the process.04-29-2010

20090014386Separation Process - The invention relates to a nanofiltration process for enriching and concentrating a neutral organic compound into the permeated liquid with negative retention.01-15-2009
20090076260HYDROGENATION PROCESS - The invention relates to an improved process for the production of a sugar alcohol from the corresponding sugar through catalytic hydrogenation. Especially, the invention relates to a process for reducing the interference of sugar-derived aldonic acids in the hydrogenation process by adjusting the hydrogenation conditions so that the activity of the catalyst is maintained. In one embodiment of the invention, the process of the invention is carried out by adjusting the hydrogenation temperature by starting the hydrogenation at a lower temperature and then gradually rising the temperature to the final hydrogenation temperature. In another embodiment of the invention, the process of the invention is carried out by adding small-molecular monocarboxylic acids to the hydrogenation solution.03-19-2009
20090173339SEPARATION PROCESS - The invention relates to an improved nanofiltration process of recovering xylose from a solution of a plant-based biomass hydrolysate. The process of the present invention is based on the regulation of the xylose flux in the nanofiltration process.07-09-2009
20090270609SEPARATION PROCESS - The invention relates to an improved nanofiltration process for separating and recovering components, such as sugars and sugar alcohols from multicomponent mixtures. The process of the invention is characterized by collecting the nanofiltration retentate/permeate in several fractions with different purity, optional recycling of at least one of the collected nanofiltration retentate/permeate fractions to the nanofiltration and recovering the desired component from the nanofiltration permeate/retentate fractions by different methods. In one embodiment of the invention, the process comprises a combination of nanofiltration and chromatography.10-29-2009
20100212662SEPARATION PROCESS - The present invention relates to a chromatographic separation process for fractionating betaine-containing solutions by utilizing fractions comprising parts of the separation profile as a substituent of the eluent in a novel and inventive manner. The process provides improved separation capacity and separation efficiency without affecting the yield or purity of betaine or other products. The process can especially be applied to sequential SMB separation systems.08-26-2010
20100213130SEPARATION PROCESS - The present invention relates to a chromatographic separation process for fractionating solutions containing sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar acids and/or betaine by utilizing fractions comprising parts of the separation profile as a substituent of the eluent in a novel and inventive manner. The starting solutions are typically multicomponent plant-based extracts and hydrolysates, stillages, and fermentation products and derivatives thereof. The process prow vides improved separation capacity and separation efficiency without affecting the yield or purity of product components, such as sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar acids, and betaine. The process can especially be applied to sequential SMB separation systems.08-26-2010
20110123692CRYSTALLIZATION OF POLYOL COMPOSITIONS, CRYSTALLINE POLYOL COMPOSITION PRODUCT AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to microcrystallized polyol comprising at least two polyols, wherein said polyols are selected from the group consisting of maltitol, xylitol and lactitol and wherein said composition contains at least 35% by weight of each of at least two of said polyols microcrystallized together into a solid microcrystalline product. The present invention also relates to a process for the microcrystallization of polyols into a polyol composition. The microcrystallized polyol composition can be used in confectionery, foodstuffs, oral hygiene products and pharmaceuticals and in dietetic products.05-26-2011
