Title: Slicing method and device
Inventor: WEBER GUENTHER
IPC: B26D5/36
Filed: 2002-04-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for slicing food products having an irregular inner structure such as sausages or ham, wherein the products (11) are cut into slices (S) and especially offset portions or stacked portions a re formed and transported away from the slicing area (31). During said slicing process, information on the contour and structure of the slices of products is obtained by means of an opto-electronic detector device in a series of successive detection steps (E) by illuminating the slicing area, whereupon t he illuminated rays reflected from the cutting surfaces (13).of the slices of product which are to be respectively separated and from the edge area (15) o f said slices are detected and evaluated. Said illumination is carried out in at least one and preferably in all of the detection steps (E) in several directionally independent components (k) which are different from each other at least with respect to an illumination parameter. The invention also relat es to a slicing device which is especially suitable for carrying out the inventive slicing method.

Inventor: SAMPSON RICHARD
IPC: B01J39/02

Abstract: Chlorous acid is generated from a chlorite salt precursor, or a chlorate sal t precursor. The ion exchange material facilitates the generation of chlorous acid by simultaneously removing unwanted cations from solution and andding hydrogen ion to solution. Chlorine dioxide is generated in a controlled mann er from chlorous acid by catalysis. Chlorine dioxide can be generated either subsequent to the generation of chlorous acid or simultaneously with the generation of chlorous acid. For catalysis of chlorous acid to chlorine dioxide, the chlorous acid may be generated by ion exchange or in a conventional manner. Ion exchanage materials are also used to purify the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions, without causing degradation of said solutions, to exchange undesirable ions in the chlorous acid and chlori ne dioxide solutions with desirable ions, such as stabilizing ions, and to adju st the pH of chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions.

Title: Fireplace screen assembly
Inventor: KORZACK GUY D
IPC: F24B1/192
Filed: 1999-02-15
Abstract: A fireplace has a glass window and a mesh screen. The fireplace has a viewing opening into a firebox generally surrounded by an enclosure except about the viewing opening. The glass window encloses the opening of the firebox. The mesh screen extends over the glass window of the firebox. The mesh window is constructed of a woven wire mesh. The woven wire mesh reduces the amount of incident light to the glass window from outside the firebox, thus reducing the amount of glare perceived from the viewing area. The mesh screen may be located on the side of the glass opposite the firebox to provide a relatively cool protective barrier in front of the glass window which has the potential of becoming too hot to touch. Various shapes of the mesh window are possible including a bay window-like shape. The screen assembly may be used with various 'types of fireplaces including direct vent and room air vented gas fireplaces. The screen and glass may be provided as a door component for a fireplace.

Abstract: A pre-operative breast measurement device and method for use in breast reduction surgery. The breast measurement device comprises a base portion and a support post mounted thereon. First and second breast measurement scales are positioned on the support post, the scales being substantially perpendicular in relation to the support post, whereby the first breast measurement scale measures a weight of a first breast and the second breast measurement scale measures a weight of a second breast. A support saddle on the support post receives and supports a chin of a user during the measuring of the first breast and the second breast. The breast measurements provided by the scale thus provide a surgeon with an exact result of how much breast tissue must be removed from each breast during surgery so as to achieve a substantially symmetrical balance between the breasts after the surgery is completed. In an alternative embodiment, breast measurement cups are utilized to provide a breast volume measurement which can be used provide a surgeon with an exact result of how much breast tissue must be removed from each breast during surgery.
