Title: Quality enhancing treatment for ground meat product
Inventor: MARGOLIS GEOFFREY
IPC: A23L13/60
Filed: 1990-09-10
Granted: 1999-05-11
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 compressing the product against the support member only after the product has reached the temperature at which a substantial portion of the fat contained in the meat is liquified, by applying a rolling pressure which repeatedly traverses the product in a plane parallel to the support member for a period and at a pressue level suficient to exude a substantial portion of the liquified fat from the product. During at least part of the time when rolling pressure is applied, a non-fat liquid is supplied to the top surface of the product.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing emissions of n-o when burning nitrogen-containing fuels in fluidized bed reactors
Inventor: HILTUNEN MATTI
IPC: F23C10/10
Filed: 1991-04-15
Granted: 1995-10-03
Abstract: The amount of N2O emission from a fluidized bed reactor is reduced by adding a hydrogen radical providing additive (e.g. a hydrogen containing fuel such as natural gas or alcohol) to the flue gases discharged from the fluidized bed. Suffi-cient oxygen is present in the flue gases - either by addition with the additive, or by addition of an excess to the combustion chamber - so that the additive reacts with the oxygen, typically raising the temperature of the flue gases (e.g. from about 700-900°C to about 950-1100 °C) so that N2O production is reduced about 10-90%. The additive may be injected in or just prior to a cyclone for separating particles from the flue gases, or just prior to a superheater of a convection section, or in a combustion chamber just prior to a gas turbine.

Patent CA-2110499-C (CA)
Inventor: ZUKOWSKI STANISLAW L
IPC: C08J7/00
Filed: 1992-06-08
Granted: 1998-06-23
Abstract: Porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material having a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils wherein a surface of the material has been modified to have increased hydrophobicity as indicated by having a water droplet roll-off angle of less than about 10 degrees in comparison to a typical roll-off angle of greater than about 12 degrees for the unmodified material. Under magnification, the surface morphology may be indistinguishable from that of the unmodified precursor material. The modification is preferably done by exposing the surface to radio frequency gas plasma discharge with a reactive etching gas for a lengthy amount of time such as about ten minutes. If surface etching is continued beyond a time adequate to produce the highly hydrophobic behavior, then the surface morphology includes the appearance of broken fibrils. Still further treatment results in complete removal of fibrils from the surface so that under magnification the surface has the appearance of freestanding node portions not interconnected by fibrils but rather having open valleys disposed between the freestanding node portions.

A second temperature sensor measures a lubricant temperature at a inlet be the compressor, and provides a signal corresponding to the lubricant temperature to the controller. A pressure sensor measures the pressure at the outlet of the compressor, and provides a corresponding pressure signal to the controller. A valve means continuously regulates the supply of lubricant to the compressor, the valve means being controlled by the controller in response to the temperature signal of the first temperature sensor sad the pressure signal.  Operation of the thermal mixing valve is controlled by the controller, in response to the temperature signal of the second temperature sensor, to continuously regulate the temperature of the lubricant supplied to the compressor to minimize preheating of the low pressure gas.
