摘要:
A fan powered by a controlled external energy source and a flow measurement device measure the airflow exiting or entering grilles/registers of an HVAC system without impeding the airflow being measured. A flow straightening element is preferably employed to overcome any effects of a non-uniform or swirled airflow profile on the fan. Preferably, the RPM of the fan is measured to determine the airflow. The RPM/flow calibration of the fan is insensitive to pressure differentials or the fan is a pressure-sensitive fan submitted to appropriate pressure differentials. Alternatively, the voltage or current supplied to the external energy source is used to determine the airflow. Finally, the pressure differential across the flow straightening element can be measured to determine airflow, eliminating the impact of pressure differential across the flow measurement device and fan.

One aspect of the present invention is concerned with a method of treating or preventing pulmonary inflammation as a complication ensuing from physical trauma, bacteraemia or viral inflection, said method comprising enterally administering at least one or more glutathione promoters selected from: −0.3-20 g, preferably 0.5-5 g pyruvate equivalents; −0.1-5 g, preferably 0.2-2 g oxaloacetate equivalents; −0.01-1 g, preferably 0.02-0.5 g lipoic acid equivalents; and at least 20 g of digestible water soluble carbohydrates, in the form of an aqueous liquid composition containing at least 10 g/l of said digestible water soluble carbohydrates. Another aspect of the invention relates to an aqueous liquid composition suitable for enteral administration containing: 2 to 20 wt. % digestible dissolved carbohydrates; two or more glutathione promoters selected from: 0.5 to 50 g/l pyruvate equivalents; 0.05 to 20 g/l oxaloacetate equivalents; 0.05 to 5 g/l cystein equivalents; and at least 45 wt % water.

The invention pertains to a method of treating or preventing pressure ulcers, comprising enterally administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising proteins, carbohydrates, fats, arginine or equivalents thereof, ascorbic acid equivalents and α-tocopherol equivalents, wherein arginine or equivalents thereof is administered in a daily amount of 3-15 g, ascorbic acid equivalents are administered in a daily amount of 180-840 mg and α-tocopherol equivalents are administered in a daily amount of 50-400 mg.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of specific protein and/or peptide fractions having a high aspartate content for regulating plasma glucose concentrations and increasing insulin sensitivity in a mammal. It has been found that high amounts of aspartate equivalents, especially in relative absence of glutamate equivalents, increase the glucose uptake of peripheral cells and improve the reaction of the liver on dietetic glucose consumption. As a result it has a favourable effect on the blood glucose levels of a person suffering from hyperglycaemia, in particular postprandial and post-surgery hyperglycaemia and/or insulin resistance. The invention relates to a complete food fortified with aspartate equivalents as well as a supplement rich in aspartate equivalents that is given simultaneously with or even minutes up to an hour prior to the consumption of a meal comprising glucose. The nutritional or pharmaceutical composition contains at least one protein having a high aspartate content, preferably of soy or dairy origin, which is further enriched with aspartate equivalents from another protein and/or free aspartate equivalents. The protein fraction comprises glutamate equivalents in a weight ratio of aspartate equivalents to glutamate equivalents (asp:glu) between 0.41:1 and 5:1.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preventing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in a mammal suffering from trauma, said method comprising enterally administering to said mammal, within 24 hours of the occurrence of the trauma, (i) digestible water soluble carbohydrates and (ii) a liver guanosine-5′-triphosphate (GTP) increasing component and/or peptides with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibiting activity. Another aspect of the invention relates to an aqueous liquid composition containing: −20-200 g/l digestible dissolved carbohydrates; −5-5000 mg/l guanosine equivalents in combination with 1-100 g/l ribose equivalents and/or 2-2000 mg/l flavonoides; or 0.01 to 10 mM of peptides with ACE inhibiting activity; and −45 to 97.95 wt. % water.
摘要:
An accessory device for use with at least one toy vehicle is provided, wherein the accessory device includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes a first passageway configured to permit the toy vehicle to pass entirely through the first housing. The first housing may further include a second passageway configured to permit the toy vehicle to completely pass through the first housing. A sensor may be positioned along the first passageway, the second passageway, or both. The sensor may be configured to detect the passage of the toy vehicle through the passageway and activate a sensory output generating device. The accessory device further includes a second housing attachable to the first housing and includes a passageway configured to permit the toy vehicle to pass entirely through the second housing.
