Patent GB-2183439-A (GB)
Title: Textured proteinaceous food
Inventor: IKOMA MITUGI
IPC: A23L17/00
Filed: 1986-10-23
Abstract: The textured proteinaceous food is made by heating a marine animal meat so as to gel to such an extent that the meat material does not lose its binding capacity, and the gelled proteinaceous material is force-extruded under pressure from a die having a predetermined configuration and a predetermined number of orifices. 
<??>Also disclosed is food extruding apparatus including a food receiving member (42) having a through-hole (40) receiving a food which is to be extruded and an extruding means inserted into the through-hole from one end thereof and moved toward the other end, thereby extruding the food from the through-hole, the extruding means comprising outer and inner extruding members (50 + 52). After an extruding operation, these extruding members are not pulled back simultaneously, but the outer extruding member is first pulled back slowly, and then the inner extruding member is raised, which prevents any vacuum being produced between the upper surface of the food and the extruding member when pulled back.

Title: Thermally insulated piston
Inventor: ZERNIG NORBERT
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1987-03-20
Abstract: In a thermally insulated piston (1) for use in a direct fuel injection compression-ignition internal combustion engine in which, during injection, the fuel and/or air is swirled, the crown (6) and the bottom (8) of the combustion space are thermally insulated but not the side wall (10) of the latter. The advantages of such a restricted insulation are a decrease of the extent of cooling required-and thus a temperature reduction of the components-, reduced fuel consumption and a reduction of the volume of the exhaust emission. <IMAGE>

Title: Vacuum electronic device
Inventor: CADE NEIL ALEXANDER
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 1987-05-18
Abstract: A cold cathode for a vacuum electronic device is formed by depositing a coating of an organic material, such as 22-tricosenoic acid, on the emission surface of a cathode body. The presence of the organic coating, in use of the cathode, enhances electron emission from the emission surface. The coating is preferably deposited by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.

Title: Fe-Cr-Ni-Al ferritic alloys
Inventor: HAMADA TADASHI
IPC: C22C38/40
Filed: 1990-10-31
Abstract: Fe-Cr-Ni-Al ferritic alloy capable of forming hot oxidation/corrosion resistive aluminum oxide scale in the surface thereof by exposure to oxidation environments at elevated temperatures. Due to the ferritic structure, the aluminum oxide scale is formed uniformly and densely to improve scale adherence, or prevent scale flaking. The mechanical properties of the ferritic alloy are considerably improved by incorporation of controlled amounts of Cr, Ni, and Al relative to each other, which are added to precipitate minute Ni-Al intermetallic compounds in the alloy matrix while retaining the ferritic structure. Such minute Ni-Al intermetallic compounds are thought to be responsible for improved mechanical properties, including high temperature strength, tensile strength and hardness. The composition claimed is Cr 25-35%, Ni 15-25%, Al 4-8%, one or more of Zr, Hf, La, Ce, Nd and Gd in a total amount of 0.05-1%, the balance being iron. Optical additives of up to 0.1% Y and/or up to 0.5% Ti may be made.
