Abstract: A method of on-line quality grading a package (21) of textured yarn (24) simultaneously with the texturing of the yarn and winding it onto the package (21) comprises measuring at successive short first time intervals a parameter of the textured yarn, eg its velocity, calculating averages of the parameter (Vav) over successive longer second time intervals, noting any averages (Vav) which deviate from a predetermined limit range, and calculating a quality fault level indicative of the quality grading of the package (21) from the cumulative magnitudes of the noted deviations. A transient fault level in respect of a short term transient fault is calculated from the sum of the excess parameter values above a predetermined transient fault level and the duration of the fault. A quality fault level in respect of longer duration deviations is calculated by algorithmic or frequency distribution methods, the transient fault levels and the quality fault levels being compared with at least one predetermined threshold value to give the quality grading of the yarn package (21).

IPC: B65G19/26
Filed: 1991-08-22
Abstract: A product feed device includes multiple drivers (42) mounted pivotally between a pair of parallel and opposed endless chains (82,84). When pivoted to an active position, each driver engages a product and pushes the product along a path. A set of cams (148,150) is disposed upstream of the path. Each of the cams is alternatively positionable in alignment between the chains, to engage successive drivers to either set or reset the drivers as they encounter the cam. The cams, travelling at approximately the same speed as the endless chains, set and reset successive drivers in different repeating sequences, thus to enable switching from one selected spacing between actuated drivers to another, depending on which cam is in the operating position. A pair of opposed guide members (86,88) extend longitudinally along the path to confine the chains against transverse movement, and maintain each of the drivers in its selected orientation, whether set to active or reset to a bypass position.

IPC: F23N1/00
Filed: 1991-08-30
Abstract: A method and means for accurately regulating the rate of flow of supply gas to the burner or torch of a spectrometer. The flow rate is controlled by a valve (1) having a closure member (12) which is movable between a position at which it provides maximum obstruction to gas flow, and a position at which it provides minimum such obstruction. The closure member (12) movement is controlled by a pulsed electrical signal so that the closure member (12) moves rapidly and repeatedly between each of the two positions. Gas flow rate through the valve (1) is therefore dependent upon the aggregate of the times the closure member (12) spends in either of the two positions referred to, and that flow rate is changed by varying the frequency and/or pulse duration of the pulsed signal.

Abstract: In order to be able to sand the surface of an item (3) uniformly smooth, a sanding machine is used with sanding tools in the form of sanding rollers (29) which are rotated as well as turned in the same plane, and which at the same time herewith are also moved in a reciprocating manner transversely to and parallel with the direction in which the item is conveyed, whereby during the working stroke the sanding elements on the sanding rollers (29) will sand at all possible contact angles in relation to the item (3). The risk of sanding damage such as marks and grooves as a result of over-sanding, or the possible lack of sanding as a result of too sporadic contact, is herewith reduced, and the best possible result is achieved. 
     Furthermore, the wear on the sanding rollers (29) is completely uniform, whereby their endurance is extended. 
     For the movement of the sanding rollers (29), there is used an apparatus comprising a motor-driven crank arm (7) which, in sliding engagement with a carriage which supports the sanding rollers (29), can drive the carriage forwards and backwards on rails (4) which extend transversely to the machine (1). 
     There is hereby achieved a stable and robust construction which also gives the sanding rollers (29) an expedient movement characteristic, which compensates for the predominantly longitudinal sanding movements to which the items are exposed in the outer areas.

Title: Method for producing a proteinaceous product by digestion of raw animal parts.
Inventor: ANDERSON PAUL S
IPC: A23J3/34
Filed: 1991-05-29
Abstract: A particulate proteinaceous product is prepared from waste raw protein-containing animal parts with a method and an apparatus having a mulling stage wherein the raw animal parts are reduced to a ground condition; a hydrolyzing stage wherein proteins in the ground animal parts are hydrolyzed to a predetermined extent to form an aqueous suspension, using either endogenous or supplementary proteolytic enzymes, and subsequently heated to inactivate the enzymes and convert fats in the suspension to oils; a screening stage wherein non-digestible solids are removed from the suspension; a concentration stage wherein extraneous oil is added to the suspension, the suspension is pasteurized, and a large portion of the water is removed therefrom; and an oil-separation stage wherein sufficient oil is removed to form the product. A portion of the removed oil is routed back to the beginning of the concentration stage as extraneous oil added to the suspension to permit sufficient water to be removed from the suspension without forming a stiff, unprocessable mass. The method is distinctive in that it produces a dry, flaky product without the use of a conventional dryer. The method is also distinctive for its substantial resistance to equipment clogging. The proteinaceous product is dry to the touch, is compressible into pellets or cakes, and contains about 45 to 65 w/w percent partially hydrolyzed, non-denatured animal protein, about 20 to 35 w/w percent oil derived from the animal parts, about 10 to 15 w/w percent moisture, and about 0 to 7 w/w percent ash. The product also has reduced objectionable odor, reduced propensity to oxidize, and high nutritional value.
