Patent ZA-901551-B (ZA)
Title: Method of producing simulated meat product from whole soybeans
Inventor: MCCABE EDWARD M
IPC: A23J3/16
Filed: 1990-02-28
Abstract: A method of processing whole soybeans to produce discrete, irregularly-shaped chunks or pieces of textured proteinaceous material which are free from off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture and appearance. Whole soybeans are hydrated and acidified to a pH in the range of about 4.5 to 6.5 and the pH of the soybeans is maintained in this range throughout processing. The acidified whole soybeans are ground in an aqueous medium to provide an aqueous slurry or dough of soybean particles having a pH in the range of 4.5-6.5. The aqueous acidic slurry or dough is passed through a confined treatment zone in which high temperature pressurized steam is injected directly into a confined stream of the slurry or dough under conditions which effect texturization of the soy protein in the form of discrete chunks or pieces which are discharged from the treatment zone. The texturized pieces, when discharged from the treatment zone or when dried and rehydrated are free of off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture, firmness and appearance. They are suitable for use in a wide variety of food products, including frozen products, canned products and dry mix products. If desired, additives such as flavoring, coloring, fat, seasoning and other proteinaceous materials may be incorporated in the texturized soy protein pieces.

IPC: B03C3/80
Filed: 1991-06-07
Abstract: A process and a device for cleaning the precipitation surfaces of electrostatic dust separators are proposed, in which large particulate cleaning dust is placed in the dust separator and electrostatically precipitated alone or together with the dust in the crude dust in the dust separator and the precipitated dust is cleaned off at intervals from the precipitation surfaces and discharged from the dust separator. In this case it is proposed that the cleaning dust is placed above the areas of the electrostatic dust separator in the dead space and is distributed in accordance with the cleaning requirement.

Title: Transmission link for use in surgical instruments.
Inventor: LEMAIRE NORMAN J III
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1992-10-16
Abstract: A link (54), and assembly (12) and instrument (10) using same, for transmitting actuating forces from an actuating member (20) to a work member (52). The link (54) includes a link body (60) having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the link body is movably interconnected with the work member (52) by a distal interconnection element such as an arcuate groove-and-flange assembly (62, 80), and is inter-connected at its proximal end to the actuating member (20) by a proximal pivotal interconnection element (64, 65). The proximal element (64, 65) transmits a first actuating force (118) from the actuating member (20) to the work member (52). A shoulder (66), disposed on the link body (60) preferably between the distal and proximal elements for interconnecting, engages the actuating member (20) when a second, greater actuating force (124) is applied to the actuating member in a direction opposite to that of the first actuating force. The greater force (124) is thereby transmitted fully to the work member (52). The link assembly (12) preferably includes a spacer member (90) to assist positioning of the actuating member.

Title: Multilayer electrode
Inventor: MALY-SCHREIBER MARTHA
IPC: H01M4/80
Filed: 2000-05-10
Granted: 2001-10-25
Abstract: An essentially flat electrode of an electrochemical arrangement, such as a battery of a capacitor, consists of at least one conductive layer 3 and of a storage layer 4, which is connected to it, has a grid structure that is composed of woven or knitted plastic threads 5, which are made conductive, and in which electrically active material is incorporated. In order to improve the volumetric and gravimetric energy density while at the same time ensuring sufficient mechanical robustness and simplifying production, the local grid structure of the storage layer 4 is matched to the size and the electrical conductivity of the particles 1 of the incorporated electrically active material and the current density which occurs in each case during operation of the arrangement, such that, if the conductivity of the particles 1 is poor and/or the local current density is high, each individual one of the particles 1 essentially makes direct contact with the grid threads 5 while, in contrast, if the conductivity of the particles is good and/or the local current density is low, there may also be particles 1 without their own direct contact with the grid threads 5 in a grid pocket 6. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2012-09-05
Abstract: A tubular member is provided for use as a structural member when inflated to a pressure of between 10 and 20 psi (6.89 to 13.79 *10 4  pascals). The tubular member is flexible when deflated and substantially inflexible when inflated to this pressure, and is capable of repeated inflation to this pressure followed by deflation to collapse the tubular member. The tubular member includes internal reinforcement strands between an inner layer formed from a material selected from rubber, substitutes therefor and plastics and an outer layer formed from the same material. The internal reinforcement strands include reinforcing textile strands helically laid at an angle to the axis of the tubular member of 30° or less. The material of the two layers form a unitary structure as the result of heat softening of the material to cause the material of the two layers to fuse together through spaces between the reinforcement strands.

Title: Position sensor
Inventor: TAYLOR HOWARD E
IPC: G01B7/14
Filed: 1995-10-18
Granted: 1998-06-10
Abstract: A position sensor includes a coil of small diameter litz wire wound around a ferrite rod. The rod is secured in the end of a ceramic support and an end cap is secured on the other end of the rod to form a bobbin section on which the coil is wound. Two palladium silver strips are formed axially along the length of the support extending from the bobbin section to near the base of the support. Two free ends of the coil are formed into strain relief loops and soldered to the strips. Lead wires of comparatively larger diameter are also soldered to the strips but near the base of the support. The strips establish electrical continuity between the coil and the lead wires while separating the end portions of the coil from the lead wires so as to prevent the lead wires from inducing stress into the relatively fragile coil wires. The lead wires are threaded through a cylindrical metal housing, and the base of the ceramic support is located into a cylindrical recess in the housing to support and seal the working end of the sensor.

Title: vehicle speed warning apparatus
Inventor: STEIN PAUL JONATHAN
IPC: H04H60/51
Filed: 1999-08-28
Granted: 2004-02-04
Abstract: A vehicle is equipped with a digital audio broadcast (DAB) receiver 102 and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver 104. The DAB receiver 102 receives a signal which comprises data constituting information relating to terrain, such as road surface conditions, location of bends, gradients, or relating to traffic information, or local speed limits. A processing means 200 uses the GPS data to determine vehicle location, and then extracts the relevant information from the DAB signal. This can then be used either to alert the driver to local speed limits, or to present local traffic information, or to control one or more vehicle functions, such as a cruise control system, traction control, an automatic gearbox, a suspension damping control system or ride height control system. The DAB receiver can also be used to receive software updates for the navigation system or for a vehicle management system 204.
