A data cartridge handling apparatus comprises a ring-shaped carousel (40) rotatably mounted within a housing (22). Cartridge-accommodating cells (52) are angularly arranged about the carousel between an inner periphery (48) and an outer periphery (50) of the carousel. A transducing drive (70) is mounted within the housing and outside the outer periphery. A motor (60) rotates the carousel to facilitate selective alignment of a selected cell (52S) with the drive (70) along a radial dimension (106) of the carousel. A picker (100, 200) is mounted within the housing at a point within the inner periphery of the carousel (40). The picker (100, 200) has a picker arm (104, 204). A distal end of the picker arm has a gripper (110, 210) which selectively engages and disengages a data cartridge (72). The picker arm linearly translates in the radial dimension for the purpose of moving an engaged data cartridge from the selected cell (52S) to a loading position of the drive (70), and conversely for unloading a data cartridge from the drive and withdrawing the same into the selected cell. The gripper comprises a thumb (112, 230). One of the gripper and the thumb is pivotally connected to the picker arm to allow the thumb to selective engage and disengage a feature (160) on the data cartridge. A trip member (150, 250) is mounted in the housing between the outer periphery of the carousel and the drive for actuating pivoting of the gripper, and thereby actuating the selective disengagement of the picker thumb with the feature on the data cartridge for loading of the data cartridge into the drive.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for treating milk products to reduce the bacteria and fat therein and/or to recover proteins therefrom. In particular, the present invention provides a method of treating a milk product comprising dynamically filtering the milk product (particularly skim milk or whey) through a filtration medium having a pore rating of about 0.1-1 .mu.m to produce a fat-depleted milk product permeate. The present invention also provides a method of concentrating a protein in a milk product comprising dynamically filtering the milk product through a filtration medium to form a protein-enriched retentate or a protein-enriched permeate. This method can be repeated with the protein-enriched fraction using filtration media of increasingly smaller pore ratings in order to recover particular proteins or combinations of proteins (from among many proteins in the milk product).

The present invention provides a method of reducing the butterfat content of a liquid milk product comprising (a) providing a coalescing medium having a critical wetting surface tension of no more than about 50 dynes/cm, preferably a fibrous coalescing medium with an average fiber diameter of up to about 50 microns and a sheet weight of about 5 to about 30 oz/yd.sup.2, (b) passing a liquid milk product containing butterfat through the coalescing medium at a flow rate of about 1 to about 20 gpm/ft.sup.2 coalescing medium surface area to form coalesced butterfat particles and reduced-butterfat content liquid milk product, and (c) separating the coalesced butterfat particles from the reduced-butterfat content liquid milk product.

摘要:
A method of treating wastewater by passing wastewater into a dynamic microfiltration assembly to form a first concentrate stream and a filtrate stream and then passing the filtrate steam into an ultrafiltration assembly to form a second concentrate stream and a purified water stream.
摘要:
A container for foodstuffs and beverages comprising a vessel having a mouth surrounded by a rim presenting an upper surface of plastics material, and a lid, comprising a diaphragm secured by an endless weld to the upper surface and covering the mouth. The diaphragm has a perforation consisting of at least one through hole and a peel strip sealingly but peelably secured over the perforation. The peel strip has a pull tab formed by a portion of the peel strip folded back on itself and situated outside the perforation. Further, the peel strip has a transverse cut across part of its width at the junction of the pull tab with the remainder of the peel strip on the side of the pull tab remote from the perforation.

An air purification system and process are provided that are capable of ensuring oil-free moisture-free and particulate- and microbial contaminant-free pharmaceutical quality air, the air purification system comprising, in combination, and in the sequence indicated:(1) an oil and water coalescer filter;(2) an adsorbent or desiccant dryer;(3) an oil vapor adsorber;(4) an after-filter; and(5) a bacterial-retentive final filter.
摘要:
A semiconductor inspection apparatus performs a hybrid inspection process including cell-to-cell inspection, die-to-die inspection and die-to-golden or die-to-database inspection. The apparatus creates a golden image of a reticle complimentary to portions of the reticle that can be inspected by cell-to-cell inspection or die-to-die inspection. Alternatively, the apparatus creates a reduced database complimentary to portions of the reticle that can be inspected by cell-to-cell inspection or die-to-die inspection.
