Inventor: VOLZHENSKY DMITRY SERAFIMOVICH
IPC: A61B5/0408
Filed: 1984-03-21
Abstract: The current collecting element of a second-class electrode is formed from a homogenous mass containing a galvanically treated silver powder in an amount of 70 to 100% by mass, of which the particles are covered with silver chloride and with a gelatin or poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone film by galvanization so that silver, silver chloride and said polymer film are contained, repectively, at the ratio of 69 - 97.9 : 2 - 30 : 0.1 - 1, whilst a rapid-hardening acrylic copolymer is contained in an amount of 0 - 30% by mass. The current collecting element of the second-class electrode is obtained by preliminary galvanical chloridization of the silver powder until obtaining the product of said composition, subsequently mixing the chloridized silver powder in an amount of 70 - 100% by mass and the rapid-hardening acrylic copolymer in an amount of 0 - 30% by mass until obtaining the homogenous mass from which the current collecting element of the second-class electrode is formed.

Patent GB-2174191-A (GB)
Title: Heat store system
Inventor: DUTTON NORMAN
IPC: F28D20/00
Filed: 1986-04-10
Abstract: A method of storing and releasing heat energy uses a reversible chemical reaction in which heating causes dissociation of a chemical compound, the components formed by dissociation being exothermically reactable. An example is calcium hydroxide, which dissociates to calcium oxide and water (in the form of steam) when heated to about 580 DEG C. Apparatus is provided for carrying out the reaction, the apparatus comprising a chamber (22) in which the compound is heated, and separating means (27, 28, 29 and 31) for removing one of the components formed by dissociation (water). On reintroducing the water to the chamber, heat is evolved, which is recovered by a heat exchanger. <IMAGE>

Title: Meat grader
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN GERT STROMFELD
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1986-07-15
Abstract: A meat grader comprises a probe 1 for insertion through a meat carcass to be graded. A light source 8 and a photosensor 9 are associated with the tip of the probe 1 whereby light from the light source reflected from the meat carcass is detected as the probe is inserted and/or retracted through the carcass. A first signal is generated representative of the amount of light detected by the light sensitive means. A second signal is generated designating memory locations representative of locations of the increments of axial movement of the probe through the carcass. The first signal is stored at addresses designated by the second signal. Various rates of change of the first signal with successive memory addresses are used to establish reference signal values, the addresses of which are subtracted to obtain fat and lean meat thicknesses. <IMAGE>
