Patent EE-201400011-A (EE)
Title: Gravitational impulse method and device for estimation meat shear energy
Inventor: Väino Poikalainen
IPC: G01N21/00
Filed: 2014-04-23
Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of material research and analysis, in particular, to the methods for estimation the mechanical traits of meat, and it can be used for estimation of the tenderness of meat. A characteristic trait of the gravitational impulse method is that a sample segment of meat is cut through with a ^-shaped shear blade at its free-fall to the sample meat piece. In the cutting process, the speed of the ^-shaped shear blade, passing through the meat segment, decreases due to the mechanic traits of meat, including the impact of toughness-deduced resistance force on the shear blade. At the end of the cutting process, the residual force of the shear blade as well as the durability of its impact are measured by a force transducer; thereby the end and start of the residual force impact are fixed, being registered by a data recorder (computer). On the basis of this data impulse and shear energy are measured.

Title: Improvements in Means for Printing Water-proof Fabrics.
Inventor: GOTLIFFE HARRY
Filed: 1898-05-26
Granted: 1899-05-26
Abstract: 11,951. Gotliffe, H. May 26. Printing fabrics.-Lustrous or silky effects are produced upon waterproofed fabrics, in imitation of silk and similar linings, by printing with a composition containing nickel dust and resin upon the rubber-proofed surfaces, which have been dusted with finely-ground dry albumen or resin. The printed surface is protected by a thin layer of rubber solution. Instead of albumen or resin, rubber or gum may be employed. When the vulcanizing process is carried out after the printing operation, the proofed and printed surface is damped with liquid ammonia, and then heated by means of a steam chest or table in order to restore the brilliancy of the metal, which is apt to be dulled in the vulcanizing process.

A rod c is pivoted to an arm g projecting from the hammer butt, and is provided at its lower end with a wire passing freely through a hole in the rear end of the lever d, the play of the rod in the lever being limited by stops. When the blow is delivered on the string, the rod c rises as far as it can, as shown in Fig. 2, and when the hammer recoils, the rod c drops until the upper of the two stops in its lower end engages with the lever d, when its motion and that of the hammer is arrested. To prevent the hammer from rebounding from that position, a surface f<1> on the upper end of the hopper is caused to engage with a button e on the rod c, while the jack is at the same time forced under the shoulder of the hammer butt. A pin m on the jack engages with a fixed stop o when the action is at rest, and limits the downward motion of the jack.
