Date May 31, 1990.An animal sticking apparatus for sticking an animal to be slaughtered comprises a sticking tool (10) having two rotary or oscillating cutting blades (16) and support means (21) mounting the sticking tool (10) for insertion and withdrawal movements. The cutting blades (16) perform a cutting operation upon insertion and advancement of the sticking tool (10) into the thoracic entrance of the chest cavity of the animal, the sticking (10) tool cutting tissues as it is advanced and enabling the stick wound to remain open upon withdrawal of the sticking tool to promote rapid exsanguination. The sticking tool (10) after insertion into the animal is pivoted about a remote axis (A) to sever blood vessels near to the animal heart ensuring massive and rapid blood flow. A pair of cutting blades (27) are operative to cut the hide of the animal to form a pre-cut (B) before insertion of the sticking tool (10), the blades (27) being movable apart to separate the hide at the pre-cut (B) so as to expose a substantially sterile surface into which the sticking tool (10) is inserted. The pre-cut blades (27) have cutting edges (29) forming an acute angle to the hide surface and cause a cutting action from the hide inside the surface to the outside for maintaining substantially sterile conditions on the inside of the hide pre-cut (B).

Title: A force feedback and texture simulating interface device
Inventor: KRAMER JAMES F
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1994-03-03
Granted: 1996-09-05
Abstract: A man-machine interface is disclosed which provides force and texture information to sensing body parts. The interface is comprised of a force actuating device that produces a force which is transmitted to a force applying device. The force applying device applies the generated force to a pressure sensing body part. A force sensor on the force applying device measures the actual force applied to the pressure sensing body part, while angle sensors measure the angles of relevant joint body parts. A computing device uses the joint body part position information to determine a desired force value to be applied to the pressure sensing body part. The computing device combines the joint body part position information with the force sensor information to calculate the force command which is sent to the force actuating device. In this manner, the computing device may control the actual force applied to a pressure sensing body part to a desired force which depends upon the positions of related joint body parts. In addition, the interface is comprised of a displacement actuating device which produces a displacement which is transmitted to a displacement applying device (e.g., a texture simulator). The displacement applying device applies the generated displacement to a pressure sensing body part. The force applying device and displacement applying device may be combined to simultaneously provide force and displacement information to a pressure sensing body part.

Title: A valve
Inventor: ZAKAI AVI
IPC: F16K31/42
Filed: 1994-03-24
Granted: 1997-03-06
Abstract: An electrically-operated fluid valve comprising at least one valve seating (11), a flexible diaphragm (13) covering the valve seating and being uniformly subjected on a lower surface thereof to a fluid pressure, and a closure member (28) pivotably mounted above the flexible diaphragm and rotatable about a pivot axis (29) thereof between first and second positions. An electrical motor (36, 81) is provided for rotating the closure member in a first direction whereby a first end of the closure member (14) depresses the diaphragm on to the valve seating, thereby reducing the pressure on one surface of the diaphragm within an area of the valve seating only, an opposite surface of the diaphragm and an opposite end of the closure member (18) still being subjected to said fluid pressure. The electrical motor rotates in the opposite direction for lifting the diaphragm from the valve seating. Preferably, the electrical motor (81) is controlled by a switching circuit (85) including first and second d.c. supply rails (111, 112) connected across a storage element (125) connected in series with the motor (81). A normally closed switching element (115) is responsive to a voltage across the supply rails rails for opening and allowing current to flow through the motor so as to urge the closure member into the second position whilst substantially fully charging the storage element (125), whereupon decoupling the voltage from across the supply rails causes the switching element (115) to close thereby providing a discharge path through the motor for the storage element which discharges thereby urging the closure member (28) into the first position. <IMAGE>
