Patent CA-2713974-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARTIN ANDREW
IPC: B61H13/34
Filed: 2010-08-24
Abstract: A device for monitoring the status of a railcar handbrake having a hand operated handle, which device has a load bearing member configured to be inserted in the linkage of a railcar handbrake system so that the force applied to the brake system passes through the load bearing member. A strain gauge mounted on the load bearing member measures the strain. The information from the strain gauge is indicative of the force applied by the handbrake to the brake and is used to determine the status of the handbrake. Means for determining motion of the railcar is also provided. In one form, if it is determined that the brake is on and the railcar is in motion, information, such as an alarm, is transmitted. A system and method of monitoring a railcar handbrake are also provided.

Title: Apparatus and method for cooking portioned food pieces in batches
Inventor: FOSER BRUNO
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 2010-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for cooking portioned food pieces, in particular pasta, noodles, rice, vegetables and pieces of meat and fish, in batches. The apparatus comprises a cooking chamber (3) for cooking a portion of uncooked food pieces and a water removal chamber (8), which is arranged beneath the cooking chamber (3), having a wastewater outlet (9), which is arranged in the base of the water removal chamber (8), for discharging hot wastewater from the water removal chamber (8). A heating chamber (12) is arranged all around the cooking chamber (3), with a heating unit (13) being arranged between said heating chamber and cooking chamber. A fresh water tank (14) is connected to the heating chamber (12) in order to fill said heating chamber with fresh water, and said heating chamber is, in turn, connected to the cooking chamber (3) in order to fill said cooking chamber with preheated fresh water. A wastewater tank (15) for accommodating the hot wastewater from the water removal chamber (8) is connected to the wastewater outlet (9). The wastewater tank (15) and the fresh water tank (14) adjoin one another in such a way that the fresh water in the fresh water tank (14) is preheated by the hot wastewater in the wastewater tank (15). Therefore, heat recovery takes place between the fresh water and the wastewater, as a result of which the heating time for the fresh water in the heating chamber (12) and cooking chamber (3) and the energy consumption of the apparatus in the event of regular operation are reduced.

Abstract: A harvesting header (40) operable to harvest a crop. The header has a flexible cutterbar assembly (48) extending lengthwise in a lateral direction relative to the normal direction of travel of the header. The cutterbar assembly is supported from a plurality of laterally spaced apart support arms (44,46) which are pivoted about a laterally extending axis so that the cutterbar assembly can flex along the length thereof in response to changes in terrain as the header is advanced. A pair of stops cooperate to define a variable range of angular movement of the support arms and a corresponding variable range of generally vertical movement of the flexible cutterbar assembly. A first one of the stops is configured to engage at least one of the support arms and thereby define a first upper limit of the range of angular movement, and second one of the stops is adjustably spaced from the first stop and configured to engage the at least one support arm and thereby define an adjustable second lower limit of the range of angular movement. The second can be selectively positioned in an arm-locking position, in which the at least one support arm is concurrently engaged by both stops and the cutterbar assembly is thereby generally restricted from moving vertically, and a plurality of spaced apart arm-swinging positions defining corresponding distinct ranges of angular movement for the support arms.
