Patent CA-2698073-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CASHMAN DANIEL J
IPC: E04G21/00
Filed: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A prefabricated corner post (10) and associated method for attachment to an external corner (106) on a building (100). An angled body (12) has adjacent panels (14, 16) that form an inner corner (18) having inner flat surfaces (20, 22) adapted to closely engage the building corner (106), and an outer corner (24) forming an outer flat surface (26) that extends to side edges (28, 30). A nailing flange (32, 34) extends from the inner flat surface of each panel beyond a respective side edge of the outer surface.  A trim piece (36) closely conforms to and is slidable vertically along the outer surface between an installation position (38) and a final position (40). Each panel of the body has a through hole (42) from the outer to the inner surface at the final position of the trim piece. In the installation position of the trim piece the through holes are exposed for receiving screws to secure the body directly to the building walls, and thereafter the trim piece can be slid to the final position to cover the holes and screws.

Title: Decharge d'air de l'essieu pour vehicules a plusieurs essieux
Inventor: STAHL RON R
IPC: B60G11/26
Filed: 2008-09-19
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de réguler le chargement sur un véhicule à plusieurs essieux et d'améliorer la manuvrabilité. Le système comprend un réservoir d'air comprimé et un correcteur d'assiette associé qui utilise une valve relais pour améliorer les périodes de réalimentation lorsque le véhicule revient en fonctionnement normal après un fonctionnement en mode décharge. Le procédé réduit la pression dans un ou plusieurs des essieux lors de la manuvre du véhicule à des vitesses lentes prédéterminées et lors du maintien de cette première pression prédéterminée tandis que le ou les autres essieux sont à une pression supérieure à celle du premier essieu. En empêchant l'épuisement complet de la pression du système de suspension, le rétablissement de la pression de l'air est atteint plus rapidement. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation d'une valve relais permet des débits supérieurs pour améliorer la période de réalimentation du système de suspension pneumatique après un fonctionnement en mode décharge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the automatable production of raw sausage by mincing and mixing parts or pieces of meat and adding starter cultures, spices or similar materials.  According to the invention, the parts or pieces of meat are supplied as feed stock to the mincing and mixing space (14) over a transport system, especially a multi-piston/cylinder system (1, 2), which can be operated separately from the mincer on the drive side, as a function of the capacity of the mincer (5) or mincers (5) in such a manner, that damming up as well as an increase in temperature and, with that, damage to the feed stock, is avoided. A drying container (6), which takes up exchangeable adsorbents in order to take up water or water vapor from the material treated, is coupled to the mincing and mixing space. In the case of one embodiment, the pre-dried material, reduced in volume and having a loose structure, reaches a lower sheet (8) in scooped or weighed out portions;  furthermore, an upper sheet (10) is applied and enclosed air is removed. The material or sausage meat remains exposed to a pressure treatment within a water-permeable film until the isoelectric point is reached in the material. In addition, the sausage meat in the film is subjected to a tempering treatment during the maturing phase, in order to control the activity of the microorganisms responsible for the maturing process. The pre-shaped sausage meat preforms are exposed to a high-pressure treatment in order to inactivate the microorganisms and then removed from the enveloping film, subjected to a drying step and then processed further.
