The present invention relates to a composition of substances, preferably obtained from natural sources, effective in the prevention and/or treatment of hepatobiliary conditions and diseases. The composition of the invention comprises an extract of Silybum marianum, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, starch and chitosan. This formulation confers on the composition gastro-resistance properties, increased permeability through membranes and tight junctions, mucoadhesion, controlled release and high bioavailability of the active ingredient silymarin. The composition of the invention is prepared in the form of a solid, semisolid or liquid pharmaceutical dosage form, preferably for oral administration.

The present invention relates to the field of machines for making stoppers formed by cork agglomerate, and more particularly has as its object a dosing device and mold assembly of machines for making cork agglomerate stoppers.

Provided is an item sorting system and method. The system includes: a supply end configured to provide a to-be-sorted item in the first area; a moving transport apparatus configured to transport the to-be-sorted item in a second area; and an item receiving apparatus configured to receive the to-be-sorted item in a third area. The second area and the third are arranged in order without overlapping with each other. Through the solution described above, the transmission efficiency of the item sorting system is improved while the system construction cost is saved.

The present invention relates to a portable system for diagnosing the health status of a patient's skin according to a not invasive mode, based on the analysis of the skin autofluorescence spectrum. The system is configured to emit an excitation light radiation in the ultraviolet at the skin portion to be investigated, to collect the reflected radiation and to analyse the autofluorescence spectra of the skin by means of a spectrophotometer. A microcontroller allows to examine all spectral components, without limiting to specific wavelength ranges, by means of the phasor method. The application of the phasor method returns, as result for each analysed spectrum, the values of the cosine and sine components, which are represented as a point on the phasor plane. The mapping of the phasor plane allows to associate immediately the position of the point in the plane under pathological dermatological conditions.

Method for sanitizing a container (11) for transporting potentially infected or contaminated material which comprises: - step A, of housing the container (11) in the sanitization area (C) of a sanitization apparatus (10) according to one of the preceding claims. - a step B, following step A, of spraying the container (11) with the sanitizing fluid; wherein the sanitization apparatus (10) comprises: - a support (12) designed to hold the container (11) in a sanitization area (C); - at least one ejector assembly (13); each ejector assembly (13) being attachable to the support (12) and fixed to it, in operation, and configured to expel a sanitizing fluid under pressure towards the sanitization area (C) to sanitize a container (11) placed therein. Step B provides for the sanitization area (C) to be subjected to the sanitizing fluid from multiple directions, possibly varying over time, so that the sanitizing fluid intercepts the entire potentially infected or contaminated surface of the container (11), for sanitization thereof.

A transferring robot, including: a master control and processing unit, a pick-and-place mechanism, and a marker detection unit, and wherein the master control and processing unit is configured to: control the robot body to move to a first horizontal position and control the pick-and-place mechanism to move to a first height position; the marker detection device is configured to: detect a target storage position marker, or detect at least two target container edges; the master control and processing unit is further configured to: calibrate a position of the pick-and-place mechanism, and deposit a carried target inventory container at the target storage position; or calibrate a position of the pick-and-place mechanism; and remove a stored target inventory container from a target storage position; wherein the master control and processing unit is configured to: acquire a navigation path of the robot; and control the robot to travel to a first horizontal position.

The present invention relates to a method for extracting tannins from grape seeds, characterized in that it comprises a phase in which a fluid mass containing grape seeds passes through an ultrasonic tube, passing through said ultrasonic tube. Said ultrasonic tube is connected to ultrasonic generators so as to transmit the ultrasound generated by said ultrasonic generators to said fluid mass containing grape seeds. Said ultrasonic generators are arranged outside said ultrasonic tube.

The present invention relates to a method for treating lees, leesy or cloudy liquids from wine-making processes for the extraction of wine and aromas, characterised in that it comprises a transit phase of a leesy fluid mass (M), comprising lees or lees-like liquids or cloudy liquids, inside at least one ultrasonic conduit (21), with said ultrasonic conduit (21), said ultrasonic conduit (21) being connected to ultrasonic generating means (20) so as to transmit the ultrasonic waves generated by said ultrasonic generating means to said fluidous lees mass (M), said ultrasonic generating means (20) being arranged outside said at least one ultrasonic conduit (21).

The present invention relates to a method for refining wine, which comprises a phase in which wine (W) containing wood essences (E) passes through at least one ultrasonic conduit (21), said ultrasonic conduit (21) being connected to ultrasonic generating means (20) so as to transmit the ultrasonic waves generated by said ultrasonic generating means to said ultrasonic conduit (21). said ultrasonic conduit (21) being connected to ultrasonic generating means (20) so as to transmit the ultrasonic waves generated by said ultrasonic generating means to said wine (W) containing wood essences (E), said ultrasonic generating means (20) being arranged outside said at least one ultrasonic conduit (21).

The present invention relates to the field of processing structural slab-shaped elements made of wood or similar materials, and more specifically to a machine for finishing such elements. The invention relates in particular to an automatic edge banding machine for applying and finishing plastic edges on panels of wood or similar material, which can be used for the manufacture of doors, sashes, furniture, partition elements or other furniture components. More specifically, the invention relates to an edge banding machine for applying and finishing edges on panels with a curved profile.
