Patent EP-0491791-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARGOLIS GEOFFREY
IPC: A23L13/70
Filed: 1990-09-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for eliminating fat from a formed ground meat product while maintaining desireable texture and other eating qualities, comprising the steps of placing the product on a support member configured to promote the flow of fat away from the product; bringing the product to a temperature at which a substantial proportion of the fat contained in the meat is liquified; and compessing the product against the support member only after a portion of the fat contained in the meat is liquified, by applying a pressure which repeatedly traverses the product in a plane parallel to the support member for a period and at a pressure level sufficient to exude a substantial portion of the liquified fat from the product. During at least part of the time when pressure is applied, a non-fat liquid is supplied to the top surface of the product.

Title: Anti-slag, anti-vortex tundish measurement apparatus.
Inventor: FORTE GARY L
IPC: B22D43/00
Filed: 1990-09-27
Abstract: An anti-slag, anti-vortex tundish measurement apparatus for use in tundishes or other molten metal receptacles provides a measurement of the depth of the molten metal layer above the bottom of such receptacles. The apparatus includes a body mounted on a first end of an elongated rod. The body and the rod are formed of a suitable material and have a predetermined size such that the specific gravity of the body and the rod is less than the specific gravity of the molten metal in the receptacle; but greater than the specific gravity of the slag layer covering the top of the molten metal layer such that the body is buoyantly supported at the interface between the slag layer and the molten metal layer. Measurement indicia in the form of incrementally spaced, scale gradations is formed on the second end of the rod, which end extends externally from the interior of the molten metal receptacle. A cover mounted on the molten metal receptacle slidably receives the second end of the rod therethrough such that the measurement indicia on the rod is disposed externally from the molten metal receptacle.

Abstract: A melt (2) is stored in a vessel(5). A lower half of a degassing member (6) is immersed in the melt. The degassing member has a cylindrical form with the lower end closed, and the lower half section is made of a porous material which is permeable to gas and impermeable to melts as molten metal, molten slag, or molten matte. This lower half section is a partitioning member (6a). When an internal space inside the degassing member is sucked to realize vacuum or reduced pressure atmosphere, gas-producing components in the melt pass through the partition member (6a) of the degassing member, and are exhausted to inside the degassing member, thus being separated from the melt. Also, by making the degassing member rotate or move in a horizontal or vertical direction, the melt is stirred. With these features, gas-producing components in the melt can be removed at a high efficiency.

Abstract: A compact dove prism, for use in the visible UV and IR range, of substantially reduced dimensions and quantity of optical material for a performance equal to that, or even better than that of equivalent size conventional dove prisms. The optical transmission is better than that of conventional prisms of equal outer dimensions. The novel dove prism is less sensitive than conventional dove prisms to a deviation of incident light beams which are not quite parallel. 
     The dove prism comprises two optical wedges (18,19) attached to a mirror (12), with their bases parallel with each other, said adjacent bases being at a certain distance from each other. Between the wedges is air, a vacuum, or any desired gaseous medium. The dove prisms are of much smaller weight and are considerably less expensive than conventional ones.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'introduire des informations supplémentaires (par exemple une fonction de mot de passe) dans une méthode de liaison de modems communicants. Un paquet supplémentaire (20b) renfermant les informations supplémentaires est placé dans la séquence d'établissement de liaison d'un modem émetteur, de telle sorte que le modem récepteur ne puisse le confondre avec d'autres signaux que le modem émetteur se doit d'envoyer dans la méthode de liaison de modem. Le modem répondant cherche le paquet supplémentaire (20b), et s'il n'a pas reçu le paquet supplémentaire (20b) ou si l'information contenue dans le paquet supplémentaire est insuffisante pour donner lieu à une autorisation, le modem répondant élimine la demande. Dans les modems du type V.32, le modem émetteur place le paquet supplémentaire (20b) quelque part dans la séquence de synchronisation (TRN) après les 1280 intervalles de symboles obligatoires, et avant la séquence R2, le paquet supplémentaire (20b) étant émis d'une telle manière qu'il ne peut être confondu avec la séquence R2. Afin d'assurer le caractère distinct et spécifique du paquet supplémentaire (20b) et pour qu'aucune confusion ne soit possible entre celui-ci et d'autres signaux, ledit paquet supplémentaire (20b) est composé de deux signaux multiplexés; un signal d'information se déplaçant à une allure de 2400 bits par seconde comprend une balise continue (80b) et une balise de départ formattée par procédure HDLC (procédure de commande de liaison de données à haut niveau) (52b), un mot de passe (70b), un total de contrôle (75b) et une balise d'arrêt 78b); et un deuxième signal de prévention R2 à 2400 bits par seconde qui est codé pour être compatible avec la balise continue (80b) et pour garantir que, sans se soucier du signal formatté par procédure HDLC, le paquet supplémentaire composite (20b) ne peut constituer une séquence R2.

Abstract: Procédé de régulation des niveaux de gonadotrophine chez les mammifères consistant à administrer un antagoniste d'hormone de libération de gonadotrophine (GnRH) en une dose et à une fréquence efficace pour supprimer les niveaux de gonadotrophines endogènes chez ledit mammifère, et à administrer une hormone de libération de gonadotrophine (GnRH) en une dose et à une fréquence efficace pour induire la sécrétion de gonadotrophine afin de maintenir un niveau voulu chez ledit mammifère. Le procédé est particulièrement utile dans le traitement de mammifères, notamment de la femme, souffrant de polycystose ovarienne ou d'hyperandrogénisme, ou présentant des niveaux anormalement élevés d'hormone lutéinisante qu'il convient de réduire à des niveaux approximativement normaux. Le procédé de l'invention présente l'avantage particulier d'induire une ovulation chez les mammifères, notamment chez la femme, présentant les problèmes précités. On compte parmi les antagonistes préférés de GnRH, utilisés dans l'invention, l'Antide ainsi que ses analogues permettant la suppression à long terme de gonadotrophine.
