Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the objective determination of the conformation and fatness classes and other quality properties of individual cattle carcasses. 
     A carcass (19) or half of a split carcass (19c) is placed in a light-­screening chamber (1) in front of a light-emitting, contrasting surface (13), and while the carcass (19, 19c) stands out as a dark silhouette against the contrasting surface, a picture of one entire side of the carcass is registered with a video camera (18). The contour of the carcass is determined by processing the registered picture in a data processing system. On the basis of the determined contour a calculation of the parameters is performed in the data processing system, and the classes and other quality properties of the carcass are determined, and the result is displayed or printed. 
     The apparatus comprises a light-screening chamber having a light-­emitting, contrasting surface (13) and means (7,8,9) for placing the carcass in front of the surface. A video camera (18) is facing the surface registering a picture of the carcass while it stands out as dark silhouette against the surface. A data processing system determines the contour by processing the registered picture. This system calculates the classes and other quality properties of the carcass, and the result is displayed or printed. 
     The classes of conformation and fatness may be determined with sufficient accuracy to replace the subjective classification performed by a classifier.

Abstract: Gaseous metallic and oxidised mercury is removed from gases containing this mercury by contacting a gas stream containing mercury as well as oxygen and sulphur dioxide with a solution containing a copper salt. In order to effect economical removal of the mercury from the gas stream in the case of high gas throughputs, a largely dedusted and cooled gas stream is treated at a temperature from 20 to 100 DEG C, preferably 50 to 70 DEG C, with a washing solution which contains copper(II) ions, sulphuric acid and chloride and which oxidises the mercury. The Hg(I) and Cu(I) compounds formed are oxidised in situ. The Hg(II) is converted into a soluble mercury-chloro complex and the latter is separated from the acidic solution. According to a special embodiment, the washing solution additionally contains mercury(II) ions, preferably as Hg(II) chloride. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for treating foodstuffs, said device being provided with a drum and a transport screw rotatably arranged inside the drum for moving the foodstuffs in the longitudinal direction of the drum, in the direction of a wheel-shaped means provided with blades and being connected to one end of the drum. A discharge chute is located partly inside the wheel-shaped means for receiving the foodstuffs transported upwards by means of the rotating blades and discharging them from the device during operation. The wheel-shaped means is fixed to one end of the transport screw projecting from the drum, by means of a casing fixed to the wheel-shaped means and surrounding the transport screw. The end of the transport screw remote from the wheel-shaped means also surrounds the end of the drum directed towards the wheel-shaped means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved caisson structure (10) which is adapted to support a production platform (40) above the water (20) and has its base on bottom and has a foot print or base which will pass through the drilling slot of a jackup rig (14). The caisson structure includes a large diameter caisson (26) supported in a base structure (24) including at least three base columns (30) through which piling is placed and bracing (50) extending between the columns and the caisson, a platform (40) supported at the upper end of the caisson with production tubing (36) and its casing (48) extending upward through the caisson, and where desired, filled with concrete (46) surrounding the casing within the caisson. The improved caisson structure can be used to surround and support an existing conductor pipe (44) extending from a subsea wellhead to the surface or to surround a wellhead at the surface and the conductor which extends to such wellhead from a subsea well bore. The improved method of setting the caisson structure includes lifting the structure from a barge (12) and lowering to position its base (24) in engagement with the sea bottom (18) in the desired location, piling (28) is placed in and set through the corner columns (30), the wells (34) are drilled through the caisson (10), the production strings (36) are set and the wellhead production equipment (38) are installed on the productions strings at the platform (40). The piling (28) is steel tubular members which can be cut below the sea bottom to recover the caisson structure after the wells are plugged. The caisson structure after retrieval can be reused in a different location merely by adapting its length to be suitable for the water depth in the new location.

Abstract: La présente invention consiste à produire une horloge de données pour des circuits de traitement de données grâce à la mise au point d'un signal d'horloge optimal généré localement qui est choisi avec chaque message de données reçu. A cet effet, on utilise une horloge locale à quartz (10) qui sert d'entrée sur une ligne à retard active à prises parallèles multiples (16). Un registre (34) reçoit les divers signaux de retard, et un générateur de fenêtre (36) échantillonne (42) les entrées dans le registre de manière à traiter les niveaux échantillonnés des divers signaux d'horloge retardés. L'objectif est de détecter un niveau de transition dans l'une quelconque des phases d'horloge. Les circuits de déclenchement (26, 28) choisissent ensuite une phase d'horloge optimale ayant subi une transition dans une direction désirée pendant l'intervalle de temps où les diverses phases d'horloge étaient échantillonnées. Grâce à cette invention, la largeur de bande peut être augmentée, et la distorsion des données est réduite au minimum de sorte que le nombre de stations reliées à un bus de données prévu avec l'horloge de données de l'invention peut être substantiellement accru.

Abstract: A fuel cap (10) has an anti-splash attachment (12) which includes an outer splash-back baffle (54), an inner foam plug element (56) and a retainer post (58) which supports the outer baffle (54) and inner plug element (56) and tethers them by a releasable snap-on connection to an inner baffle-supporting stem (48) of the fuel cap (10). The inner plug element (56) when substantially dry is in a contracted state wherein it is smaller in diameter than the inside diameter of the fuel tank filler neck (16) to which the fuel cap (10) is applied. An annular gap (66) is then present between the exterior side surface of the plug element (56) and the interior surface of the filler neck (16), making it easy to insert and withdraw the fuel cap (10) with the anti-splash attachment (12) thereon into and from the filler neck (16). However, once the inner plug element (56) becomes wetted and soaked by splashing liquid fuel, it expands to completely fill a cross-sectional region of the filler neck (16), closing the annular gap (66) and blocking passage of any liquid fuel past the inner plug element (56) while still allowing passage of vapors due to the porous open-cell nature of its material. The anti-splash attachment can be provided as a separate subassembly allowing retrofitting to pre-existing fuel caps or replacement should the inner plug element wear out over time.
