Abstract: A method of and apparatus for the automated manufacture of a liner of a cargo container has a work area (35) over which tubular plastics material (15) may be drawn out, for forming the liner. A shuttle (39) is disposed between the layers (18, 19) of the material and is maintained stationary as the material is drawn out, until a portion of the liner (15) to carry an attachment is disposed over the shuttle (39). The shuttle provides a counter-force for the bonding of the attachment (23) (such as an access pipe) to the liner and also serves to hold apart the upper layer (18) of the material from the or each other layer during the bonding operation. The shuttle may have rollers (41) which run on an internal surface of the liner material and may be maintained stationary with respect to the work area by magnets (52, 53) on the work area (35) and the shuttle (39) respectively. Following the drawing of a sufficient length of material while holding the shuttle stationary, the drawn length may be welded across (FIG. 9) to form and end panel for the liner and severed from the remaining material, with the shuttle (39) disposed in the remaining material.

Abstract: Simulated egg patties and simulated egg yolks, and methods of
preparing them, are provided. The simulated egg patties and
simulated egg yolks have superior mouthfeel and texture
characteristics which are similar to a fried egg prepared
from a fresh, natural egg. The simulated egg yolks are
prepared by freezing a predetermined amount of egg yolk in a
predetermined shape whereby the egg yolk structure is
modified so that, upon thawing, the egg yolk is gel-like and
essentially maintains its shape. The frozen egg yolk can be
combined with, or essentially surrounded with, egg white and
then cooked to form a simulated egg patty. Preferably the egg
yolk is pre-cooled prior to freezing and the frozen egg yolk
is tempered prior to cooking. Upon cooking, the egg yolk
portion of the simulated egg patty or the simulated egg yolk
has similar mouthfeel and texture to cooked fresh egg yolk.

Abstract: A power transmission system wherein drive power is transmitted
from a drive source to an auger transmission (318) for rotating
an auger, and a snow blower (321) is provided. An overload protecting
mechanism (317) is located between the snow blower and the auger
transmission, thereby absorbing overload to be exerted on a power
delivery path between the drive shaft and the auger transmission.
Thus, snow-removing operation is not interrupted even when the
power delivery path encounters overload. The overload protecting
mechanism may comprise, for example, either a friction coupling
(317) employing a plurality of friction plates or a rubber coupling
employing cushion rubbers. The overload protecting mechanism is
located in a large space between the auger transmission and the
snow blower, allowing existing space to be effectively utilized.

Abstract: Methods for analysing waveguide couplers are non-destructive, and comprise
introducing probe light into a coupler; providing a source of perturbing radiation;
presenting the coupling region of the coupler to the perturbing radiation to generate a
temperature gradient across the waveguide, either from a direction so as to expose one
waveguide before another waveguide and perturb the coupling region asymmetrically,
or from a direction so as to expose the waveguides together and perturb the coupling
region symmetrically; monitoring the power and/or phase of transmitted probe light,
and repeating the presenting and monitoring along the length of the coupling region.
Theoretical modelling shows that the transmitted probe light contains information
from which can be derived the coupling profile, and power evolution and distribution
along the coupling region, including location of the 50-50% points.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system and a method of radio communication between a plurality of mobile units ( 6 ) and a stationary system ( 1, 3, 12, 14 ) comprising one or several transmitter units ( 3 ), wherein radio communication to one or several mobile units ( 6 ) is effected by broadcasting from one of said emitter units ( 3 ) on a first, public frequency. The stationary system further comprises a plurality of stationary receiver units ( 12 ), said units being connected to a central unit ( 1 ) via a common data communication network ( 14 ), radio communication from the mobile units ( 6 ) being effected by transmitting on a second, public frequency a burst of radio messages ( 25 ) that are receivable only by a small number of receiver units ( 12 ). From the receiver units ( 12 ) the messages are forwarded via the data communication network ( 14 ) to the central unit ( 1 ), which selects one of the forwarded messages and reads the data contained in the message. The system in accordance with the invention therefore does not require that designated communication paths be established with each communicating unit, and since only a small number of receiver units ( 12 ) receive each transmitted message, all messages may be transmitted on the same frequency. Alternative frequencies could however be utilised, for example when longer messages are to be transmitted.

Abstract: A new valve device adapted specifically for use with hot erosive flow streams is provided. This valve device has an inner plug head, which modulates and throttles the amount of flow passing through the valve when the valve is open. The inner plug head is shaped so that as the valve plug approaches the closed position, the inner plug head blocks most of the flow path, reducing the flow to a small amount. The valve of this invention has an outer plug head the contacts the valve's outer ceramic seat as the valve reaches the closed position. Contact between the outer ceramic seat and the outer ceramic plug entirely shuts off flow through the valve.
