Title: Method and device for processing fresh meat
Inventor: SCHLEGEL JURGEN
IPC: A23B4/16
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing fresh meat and fish. The fresh meat is stored during a set time in an airtight chamber (1) to be locked after oxygen has been supplied thereto, in an atmosphere comprised mainly of oxygen, under a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. During the oxygen supply process (12), the temperature is selected at such a level and the supply set/controlled at so low a speed that the fresh meat cannot freeze. During storage, the pressure is so high and the storage duration so long that the fresh meat is entirely impregnated with oxygen. Furthermore, the oxygen exhaust is set/controlled at sufficiently low a speed to prevent fresh meat from freezing and enable the oxygen with which the processed fresh meat is impregnated to be removed with no blistering.

Patent CA-2351442-A1 (CA)
Title: Dual level inflator
Inventor: GREIST DARTON E III
IPC: B60R21/217
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: A dual level inflator (10) is provided for creating at least two different rates and levels of air bag inflation while optimizing cost effectiveness, size, safety, and performance. The dual level inflator includes a unitized gas generator canister assembly (16) including two canisters of gas generant material connected to a common base and positioned in a chamber (14) formed in an inflator outer housing (12). The unitized assembly is easily transportable and mountable on the outer housing. Each canister of the unitized assembly includes apertures permitting direct communication between each canister cavity and the chamber of the outer housing. As a result, generant material positioned in each canister is directly exposed to the conditions in the outer housing chamber. The present assembly is advantageous in that it maximizes the internal volume available to the stored gas and, after the ignition of one canister and the inflation of the air bag, the remaining canister may be ignited without reinflating the air bag due to the previous depressurization of the chamber in combination with the selection of a generant material incapable of effectively burning in a low pressure environment, i.e. the directly connected chamber. The present dual inflator also includes seal means to prevent inadvertent ignition, and an arrangement by which the plurality of apertures formed in one canister are positioned relative to the apertures in the other canister to cause the gas flowing from one set of apertures to be sufficiently cooled by the inert gas in the chamber prior to reaching the apertures of the other canister thereby preventing inadvertent thermally induced ignition of the generant material in the remaining unfired canister.

Filed: 2001-08-14
Abstract: A large sprayer boom includes an inner section pivotally supported from a frame for movement between an outwardly extended working position and a folded transport position by an inner fold cylinder located at a first hinge point. The boom includes an outer section pivotally connected to the outer end of the inner boom at a second hinge point and movable relative to the inner section between folded and unfolded positions by an outer fold cylinder. Each of the cylinders includes an internally mounted cylinder position sensor protected from the harsh environment encountered by an agricultural implement. The switches are connected to a fold sequence circuit which includes operator switches located adjacent the main sprayer controller switches in the sprayer cab so the operator does not have to turn away from his normal operating position to activate the folding or unfolding cycle. The inner fold cylinder proximity switch controls the extension or unfold sequence while the outer fold cylinder proximity switch controls the fold sequence. The control circuit including proximity switches and operator switches is relatively simple, inexpensive and easy to attach and operate. Various boom positions including partially unfolded positions for narrower operation can be quickly and easily established by the operator. The larger inner boom section cannot be folded until the outer boom section is first folded against the inner boom section so that stresses in the boom and boom cylinders are minimized.
