Title: Method and device for processing fillets of fish (conveyor belt fillet production)
Inventor: SCHWARZ OLAF
IPC: A22C25/17
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: In order to separate a useful layer of filleted meat in a fillet of fish, from a layer of waste such as skin, fat and nerves, the fillets are supplied to a skinning device, skin side down. Said device comprises a skinning roll (1) and a pressure shoe (2) having a cutter for carrying out the separation, a knife receiving pocket, a cutting blade (14) which can be moved back and forth, and a pressure roll (4) arranged above said pressure shoe and exerting pressure on the meat side of the fillet. When the fillet arrives, the cutting blade (14) briefly makes an oblique cut transversally in relation to the displacement direction of the fillet, said cut being interrupted after a number of strokes, whereupon the pressure shoe cutter continues the separating cut. A proximity switch (17) is provided in order to control the movement of the cutting blade, said switch triggering signals when the pressure roll is lifted, thereby initiating the control of the movement of the blade. Fish fillets can thus be produced, which are free of nerves and carefully skinned, without any loss of quality, said fillets being removed from the device by means of a conveyor belt (13).

Patent CA-2463194-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OTT JOSEF
IPC: B28B7/00
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: Apparatus and method for molding vertically tapered objects, such as concrete blocks, whereby the finished unit is vertically de-molded without the need to flip the mold, and without the need for mechanical power for retracting one or more movable mold walls (liners). A movable actuating member is in contact with each movable liner.  The lower end of the actuating member projects below the adjacent cavity walls when the movable wall is in its open position so that a support surface can contact the lower end of the actuating member and force it upwardly and inwardly as the support surface and the mold are brought together, thereby tilting the movable liner inwardly to its closed position. The lower end of the actuating member moves downwardly and outwardly when the support surface and the mold are separated so as to allow the movable liner to retract to its open position.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de servir de façon optimale des stations (STA) sur un réseau local (LAN) sans fil au moyen d'un protocole de réservation contrôlé de conflit/ressource de la norme IEEE 802.11e. Le LAN sans fil comporte plusieurs STA, mobiles ou fixes, reliées par une liaison aérienne à un point d'accès comme ensemble de services de base (BSS). Un coordinateur hybride (HC) jouxte le point d'accès pour allouer la largeur de bande au BSS au moyen du protocole de réservation contrôlé de conflit/ressource défini dans la norme IEEE 802.11e. Le HC transmet les trames de contrôle de conflit (CC) et lance des intervalles de conflit contrôlés (CCI) présentant un nombre choisi d'intervalles à fentes. Le HC reçoit les réservations de ressources (RR) qui précisent les besoins en largeur de bande de compétiteurs STA pendant une durée spécifiée dite intervalle de conflit contrôlée (CCI). Plusieurs paramètres sont installés dans chaque CC aux fins de contrôle de conflit. Ces nombreux paramètres sont contrôlés afin d'optimiser l'utilisation efficace du support sans fil et de réduire les délais d'accès en matière de conflits de trames pour le support sans fil.
