Title: Method and machine for non-destructive stretching and fastening of a pelt on a pelt board
Inventor: HEDEGAARD JENS
IPC: C14B15/06
Filed: 2004-09-20
Abstract: In connection with the non-destructive stretching and fastening of pelts (2) on distention elements/pelt boards (4), where the pelt is stretched and fastened in the stretched position during the drying process by means of a fixing bag, it has shown that the pelts give way (shrink) on each side of th e tail root of the pelt, with the result that use is made of a number of stapl es for the fastening of these places on the stretched pelt. Since it is not at all desirable to use staples, a development of the distension elements/pelt boards (4) has taken place, so that these have an arched extent around two transverse axes in relation to their longitudinal axes. Moreover, it has lon g been desirable to be able to stretch the pelts to a greater degree, which ha s not been possible with the use of the known stretching machines. This development has led to the development of a method and a stretching machine for the execution of the method, where the gripping elements are configured to correspond with the shape of the distension element/pelt board, and where th e pelt is engaged by the gripping elements along the whole of the lower periphery of the pelt, so that the counter-hold force in the pelt is distributed over the whole periphery of the pelt, whereby the pelt can be stretched to a greater degreewithout any damage to the pelt in the areas of engagement for the gripping elements.

Title: Water heater with programmable low temperature mode
Inventor: ISAACSON NISSIM
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2006-07-10
Abstract: The temperature in a water tank (e.g., a residential water tank) is monitored, and a controller switches between a high temperature mode of operation and a low temperature mode of operation (e.g., based on a daily or weekly program). During the low temperature mode of operation, the controller generates signals to selectively activate a water heater to keep the water's temperature within a first range of values, (e.g., between 105 and 113 °F). During the high temperature mode of operation, the controller generates signals that cause the water heater to heat the water to a temperature that is above the first range of values.  This arrangement may be used for saving energy by operating in the low temperature mode at night and during those parts of the day when nobody is home, and by operating in the high temperature mode in the morning and evening when the demand for hot water is typically high. This arrangement is also well-suited for day-care centers and nursing homes, in which case the low temperature mode is used to reduce the risk of scalding. It is also useful in the homes of people who wish to avoid violating a religious injunction that prohibits heating liquids beyond a threshold temperature on the Sabbath.
