    摘要: A process for the direct hydrogenation of hop resin acids in the absence of a liquid, organic solvent by reacting the hop resin acids with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst at a temperature at which the resin acids are sufficiently fluid to allow easy mixing with the catalyst and suitably facilitate the hydrogenation reaction. Alternatively, the necessary fluidity may be achieved at relatively low temperature by subjecting the reactants to a high pressure of CO2 gas such that the quantity of this gas that dissolves into the resin is sufficient to substantially reduce its viscosity, the pressure of the CO2 gas being either less than the liquefaction pressure at temperatures below the critical temperature or less than that which would cause the density to exceed that at the critical point for temperatures above the critical temperature. A further variant allows for the hydrogenation of the resin acids as a suspension in water and is considered most appropriate for the processing of resins that are of relatively more viscous nature in circumstances where the application of a high pressure of gas may not be possible for mechanical reasons. Particularly useful applications for the process are the conversion of iso-α-acids to tetrahydroiso-α-acids and rho-iso-α-acids into hexahydroiso-α-acids. The resinous products of the hydrogenation process may be readily converted to aqueous, alkaline solutions suitable for use in brewing beer. The process may also be worked in a continuous manner, wherein hop resin acids in suitably fluid state and under high pressure are contacted with hydrogen gas and the resultant mixture passed over a bed of noble metal catalyst particles. The necessary fluidity is achieved either by heating the hop resin acid or by dissolving CO2 gas into it or a combination of both. The resinous product of the hydrogenation reaction is collected by depressurisation of the fluid exiting the catalyst bed, conveniently causing release of any excess dissolved gas.

    摘要: An injection molded container closure with a continuous internal projection, in particular a rib having a length-to-width ratio of at least one and one-half, is formed with a mold cavity between a pair of mold halves. One mold half includes a core forming the interior of the closed annular structure of the container closure, wherein the core is separated into a movable core portion and a remaining core portion at a separating line defined at the internal rib for forming the same.

    摘要: A database of call information may be generated based on called numbers. When a called number is received from a user, the present invention determines whether the called party associated with the called number is a business. If the called number is associated with a business, information about the call is stored. If the called number is not associated with a business, the information is not stored, so as to protect privacy. The present invention may determine not only that the called number is associated with a business, but also what type of business. The call information, or information about a plurality of such calls, may be shared with a third party. The third party may or may not be a competitor of the business that was called. Armed with the call information, the third party may generate advertising directed at the calling party in response to being informed about the call. For instance, a third party competitor may email the calling party an electronic coupon or a notice about a current or upcoming sale.
