Title: Batter-coated foods
IPC: A23L17/00
Filed: 1981-01-23
Abstract: Batter-coated food products are made by mechanically aerating a liquid batter mixture to lower its specific gravity, coating the surface of a food product with the aerated batter mixture, and further processing the coated product, such as by frying, in order to set the batter coating thereon. Additionally, by the incorporation of shortening in various forms to the liquid batter mixture prior to mechanical aeration, a variety of surface textures in the final product can be achieved. The present invention is particularly useful in connection with retaining crispness in a batter-coated food product which is partially fried and intended to be frozen and subsequently baked to completion.

Patent GB-2087110-A (GB)
Title: An adjusting device for a pump
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 1981-10-07
Abstract: The adjustable pump (10) is adjusted with the aid of an electromagnetic adjusting system (22 to 27). The shaft (22) of the armature (24) adjusts a control valve (21) in proportion to the current density or to the magnetic flux and the control valve controls an adjusting piston (14) for the adjusting member 12 of the pump. A feedback device (31 to 34) likewise transmits the adjustment of the pump to the shaft (22) of the armature. With the aid of a cylinder (36) influenced by the delivery pressure, a shorting strap (46) is actuated which so influences the magnetic energising flux that an overloading of the motor driving the pump is prevented. Such a control device operates very exactly and rapidly and is particularly well suited to a torque or power control of an adjustable pump. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for pumping foaming liquids
IPC: F04D9/00
Filed: 1981-10-19
Abstract: An arrangement for pumping foaming or frothing liquids comprises a pump connected to a sump (3), and at least that part of the sump located nearest the pump casing (1) has the shape of a truncated cone (5) with the apex directed downwardly. The pump impeller is arranged to impart a swirling motion to liquid supplied to the sump (3) via an inlet (7), such as to create a swirl or whirlpool having an air core (C). Arranged in the sump is a vent pipe (17) which is open at the top and which has a bottom opening in the air core (C) of the swirl or whirlpool. In this way the upper part of the air core is prevented from becoming blocked by foam or froth deflected towards the centre of the swirl, and gases released from liquid in the lower part of the swirl always have a free passage out of the sump (3). The pump motor (13) may be positioned above or below the sump. <IMAGE>

Title: Electron beam deflector and a display tube including the deflector
Inventor: SMITH JAMES
IPC: H01J31/12
Filed: 1982-02-05
Abstract: An electron beam deflector (10) for frame scanning in a flat display tube comprises a plurality of parallel, equally-spaced electrodes (12, 14, 16,) inclined to the incident path (17) of the low energy electron beam (19). In operation the first electrode (12) is maintained at a voltage V corresponding to the voltage of the incident beam. The voltage of the second electrode (14) is steadily increased from zero to V/2, causing the exit beam path (18) to move in the frame scanning direction (Fig. 2(b)) until the beam trajectory is tangential to the second electrode (Fig. 2(c)). The latter's voltage is then abruptly increased to V, causing the beam to pass into the region between the second and third electrodes, but with an unchanged exit path (Fig. 2(d)). The procedure is repeated for successive electrodes to produce the complete frame scan. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An extendable open frame boom structure 10 includes three longerons 11 which when the boom is extended lie in spaced parallel relationship to define three planes, A, B, C and a series of frame elements 12, arranged at intervals along the length of the boom interconnecting the longerons. Between each pair of adjacent frame elements 12, each longeron comprises a pair of foldable rod members 13, hinged at each end to a frame element. The hinges are arranged so that on movement to a stowed condition, each pair of rod members moves within one of the three planes, A, B or C. A boom system is also disclosed which includes a boom structure 10, housing 18 and a drive mechanism for moving the frame elements 12 one after another between stowed and elongate conditions. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic lift tail gate assembly
Inventor: VARAJARVI MARTTI
IPC: B60P1/44
Filed: 1982-06-25
Abstract: A hydraulic lift tail gate assembly comprises a lifting platform 4 which can be lifted and lowered by means of a lifting cylinder 5 and a positioning cylinder 6 acting on said lifting platform for pivoting the lifting platform between a vertical transport position I, a horizontal platform position II and a downwardly inclined leading position III. In the pressure liquid circuit of the positioning cylinder is connected a control means for sensing the load on the platform and for automatically changing the tilting movement of the lifting platform from a quick movement to a slow one as the load exceeds a predetermined value. A control valve includes a control spindle on which the pressure in the positioning cylinder acts against an adjustable spring load. When the load exceeds the predetermined value, the increased working pressure in the positioning cylinder displaces the control spindle from a free-flow position, in which liquid is allowed to flow from the positioning cylinder through a free flow channel at a higher speed, to a choking position, in which the flow of liquid from the positioning cylinder through a choking channel takes place at a lower speed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2118741-A (GB)
Title: Electrically variable linkage joint
Inventor: STANGROOM JAMES EDWARD
IPC: F15B21/06
Filed: 1982-12-07
Abstract: A cylindrical housing (1) divided into two chambers (2 and 3) filled with electro-rheological fluid, contains an angularly deflectable shaft (6) having two axial vanes (9 and 10) which extend into the two chambers respectively. The fluid at the two sides of each vane is in parallel connection with the two ends of a respective one of two electrically variable flow restrictors (14 and 15) arranged in series flow connection in an electro- rheological fluid circuit. Electrical variation of each flow restrictor varies the pressure drop across each respective vane and hence the torque applied to the shaft. The two torques are arranged to act in opposition and control voltages are applied to the flow restrictors by a servo-control circuit so as to angularly deflect the shaft in response to the difference between an external demand signal and an angular position signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of increasing the density of liquid-developed gap-transferred electrophotographic images and developing composition for use therein
Inventor: LANDA BENZION
IPC: G03G9/12
Filed: 1983-01-04
Abstract: A method of transferring a liquid- developed electrostatic image across a gap to a carrier sheet accompanied by heating of the carrier sheet, either before or after transfer, to a temperature at which the binder or polymer forming the toner particles will solvate in the liquid entrained in the transferred image to increase the density of the image. Thus temperature is above ambient temperature but below 100 DEG C. A liquid developing composition for use in the above process comprises an insulating dispersant liquid through which is disseminated a pigmented waxy binder or polymer which is insoluble in the dispersant liquid at room temperature but will solvate in the dispersant liquid at elevated temperatures.

Title: A method of manufacturing positive tube plates for accumulators
Inventor: KIEBLING DR REINER
IPC: H01M4/56
Filed: 1983-12-16
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing positive tube plates for accumulators a mixture containing essentially Pb and Pb compounds is filled into the tubes of the tubular pockets, which contain a lead core connected to the terminal strip, from the ends of the tubes remote from the terminal strip, until the tubes are full, whereupon the filling openings of the tubes are closed.
