Patent NZ-203682-A (NZ)
Title: Purifying metals by segregation
Inventor: WINTENGERGER M
IPC: B01D9/00
Filed: 1983-03-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for purifying metals, such as aluminum, by segregation, wherein, by controlled cooling in the upper part of a volume of liquid metal to be purified, which is contained in a crucible and disposed in a furnace, small crystals are caused to form, the crystals falling towards the bottom of the container under the force of gravity. The small crystals are compacted so as to cause the formation of a compact layer of large purified crystals. This process is distinguished from the known processes in that, to enhance the purification effect, the thermal flux is so adjusted as to completely and progressively re-melt the lower part of the mass of large crystals which are formed, with the re-melting action being propagated upwardly so as permanently to maintain a layer of large crystals which separates the re-melted liquid entirely disposed in the lower part from the remaining mother liquor. That process makes it possible to attain extremely high levels of purification, in relation to very high fractions of the initial mass of aluminum which is to be purified. The process can be applied to metals such as aluminum, lead, zinc, magnesium and silicon containing eutectic impurities in hypoeutectic amounts.

Inventor: WARREN SIMON JAMES
IPC: A23L13/70
Filed: 1991-07-30
Abstract: A method of pre-tenderising meat is provided which involves stunning an animal (1) with a mechanical stunning pistol (6) to cause brain death, infusing a proteolytic enzyme (such as papain bromelain or ficin for example) into the animal under gravity with a syringe (7) whilst the animal's heart is still beating and then bleeding the animal in order to stop the heart beating after a suitable time has elapsed for the enzyme to be distributed within the vascular system of the animal.

Title: Unitary vacuum bag to press and distribute resin on mould fibre lay-up
Inventor: SEEMANN WILLIAM
IPC: B29C33/40
Filed: 1994-02-07
Abstract: An unitary vacuum bag for forming of a fiber reinforced composite article, made of a curable elastomer, having molded in resin distribution means formed to the specific article to be made. Optional vacuum conduits are molded into the periphery of the bag, causing the bag to be adapted to any number of mold shapes. The vacuum bag is constructed upon that mold which forms the base for the construction of the desired fiber reinforced composite article. The bag contains an open sided, resilient main distribution conduit running laterally along the long axes of the vacuum bag with branch conduits, depending upon the shape of the mold, to provide for long distance flow of resin to all parts of the composite article. A multiplicity of cross channels are formed on the inner surface of the bag, covering most of the area under which the fiber lay up is placed within the mold. These cross channels can be formed from a pattern of multiple, variegated small dots, pillars, cones, or pyramid shape structures, which, under vacuum, leave a multiplicity of small crisscross channels running along the inner surface of the vacuum bag. This pattern of distribution channels covers most of the fiber lay up, except for a perimeter area which insures resin flow into rather than across the fiber lay up.
