Patent ES-2201448-T3 (ES)
Inventor: O'NEILL DAVID ROYD
IPC: B23K9/12
Filed: 1998-02-19
Granted: 2004-03-16
Abstract: The invention comprises a method of arc welding and apparatus associated with the method. Preferred embodiments deliver welding wire from an associated autofeed source along a substantially straight path and into the weld zone. The resistance of the wire to further travel within the weld zone results in the torch assembly being propelled along the workpiece at a constant speed proportional to the rate of wire feed. This allows high quality welds substantially free of waves or ridges to be consistently made and at high speeds - 1000 mm per minute - being achieved in trials. The invention also addresses some problems associated with the welding of difficult materials, or when heavier gauge welding wires are used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaluating half-carcasses by means of optical image processing which is acquired at the arrival of articles, at classification points or at the departure of articles of meat-packing and meat processing. According to said method, a single color image (1) of half-carcass parts taken by an optical sensor is automatically evaluated by means of electronic data processing. The aim of the method is to develop an automatic evaluation method for half-carcasses which is carried out using contactless measuring methods based on standardized methods of evaluation. Said evaluation method allows for quick, objective and transparent determination of commercial grade and, optionally, commercial value as well as enabling each measurement to be uniformly carried out in slaughter and meat processing. This is accomplished by a reliable evaluation of carcasses according to the definition of commercial grade that occurs through the evaluation of commercial grade and/or determination of commercial value by means of optical image evaluation accessible to parameters located outside the loin region according to the ZP-Method, such that the method of evaluation through analysis of other body regions, including a certain amount of latitude, will not be necessarily complicated and expensive in practice. Following preliminary steps within image analysis corresponding to the assigned contour lines, the half-carcass is classified according to the ZP-Method. Said ZP-Method contains two points. At the first point of the ZP-Method (15), the minimal bacon thickness (14) is calculated. At a second point of the ZP-Method (17), said point being the point of intersection (16) between the bacon/middle rump muscle (11) and the middle rump muscle/fat border (12), the muscle thickness (18) is calculated up to the bone marrow canal (13).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for regulating the concentration of metal ions in an electrolytic fluid, which is used for the deposition of metal with insoluble anodes and additionally contains compounds of an electrochemically reversible redox system. With the oxidized form of said system, metal is dissolved in an ion generator 1, traversed by the fluid, so that these compounds are thereby reduced. For the deposition of metal, the dissolved metal ions on the item to be treated are reduced. The compounds of the redox system in the reduced form are oxidized again on the insoluble anodes in the electroplating system 13. In order to keep the concentration of the metal ions in the electrolytic fluid constant, at least a portion of the electrolytic fluid, contained in the electroplating system, is conducted through one or a plurality of electrolytic auxiliary cells 6.

Abstract: A dual action buckle (20) which employs a cable tightening action and a strap tensioning action to tighten two separate portions of a boot, notably a snowboard boot (10). Thus, the boot (10) may be tightened around the foot and/or particular functionalities of the boot (10) may be engaged to a preset condition with one simple buckle closing action. During rest periods when the applied tightening and/or functionalities are not needed, they may be deactivated with one simple buckle opening action, giving relief to the foot, greater ease of walking, etc. The invention includes a primary lever (26), a secondary lever (32) pivotally connected to the primary lever (26) and a pulley (42). The pulley (42) acts to double the cable retraction action of the secondary lever (32). This allows the dual action buckle (20) to be made much smaller than would otherwise be the case.

Abstract: An electronic regulator is presented based on the pulse width modulation (PWM) of a rectangular wave signal of low frequency, with which the speed of a direct current motor is controlled. The object of the invention is that of simplifying the design of the regulator eliminating the classic inductive element, so that the same direct current motor functions as the filter of the output signal provided by the switching component. It is equally an objective of the invention to avoid the noises produced by the switching, for which it works with subsonic switching frequencies, below 50 Hz. <IMAGE>
