Title: Method and apparatus for stunning of slaughter animals
Inventor: KILDEGAARD LARS JACOB
IPC: A22B3/00
Filed: 2004-01-15
Abstract: In stunning of slaughter animals by means of a box stunning apparatus with stunning atmosphere, boxes (1, l a, l b, l c, l d) are conveyed around after one another to various stop positions by means of a transport system (11, 12 ). Animals to be stunned are driven forwards in a driveway (2) and into an entrance area (3). The animals in the entrance area are separated from other animals after a group of animals has passed into the area. The group is driv en into an empty box (1) that is brought to a halt in the first stop position a t the entrance area. The box is then conveyed into the stunning atmosphere. After the animals have been in the atmosphere the box is conveyed out of the atmosphere and is brought to a stop at an emptying area (13) to empty the bo x of stunned animals. The present method comprises the steps of: measuring a time period comprising a separation time that elapses from a first state, at which the animals pass or are allowed to pass into the entrance area (3), an d to a second state occurring during the period from the time when a group of animals has passed into the entrance area to the time when the group has bee n driven into the box or the filled box is ready for transport, calculation of a desired box transport time to a third state, at which the filled box has bee n lowered into the atmosphere and a certain event occurs, which calculation is performed on the basis of the time period measured, and controlling the transport system with a view to obtaining the desired box transport time to the third state. The method makes it possible to achieve a more optimum stunning process and operation of the apparatus compared with current practice, which employs fixed time intervals and box transport time. Operations are more stable, and CO2 consumption is reduced.

Abstract: A replaceable applanation prism for an eye examining instrument is made to be discarded after each use. A bendable tab molded on the prism is deformed by a strain gauge as the prism is inserted into a prism holder, and a signal from the strain gauge is used to verify that a previously unused prism has been inserted into the holder. A microprocessor is programmed to recognize the signal produced by initial deformation of the prism tab so as to proceed with an eye examination only after receiving the strain gauge signal verifying that a previously unused prism has been inserted.

IPC: G01N33/66
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dosing telluric acids most often present in a residual form, in a preparation originating from a culture of Gram+  bacteria. This method firstly requires a hydrolysis controlled by hydrofluoric acid at a temperature lower than or equal to 40 ~C in order to liberate the specific oligosaccharides from the telluric acids. The dosing of the specific oligosaccharides can then be carried out by employing diverse techniques, particularly by high-performance chromatography coupled with a pulsed field amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The inventive method can, in particular, serve to dose residual quantities of telluric acids present in preparations containing capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae that can be used as vaccines.
