Abstract: A method of creating a sanitation level model with respect to a predefined microorganism in food processing equipment is provided. The method includes generally three steps. First, a temperature history during a use cycle of the food processing equipment is created. The temperature history includes a collection of a plurality of temperatures that the food processing equipment undergoes during the use cycle. The use cycle includes a normal use stage, a sanitizing stage, and perhaps an idle stage. Second, a growth model of the microorganism is continuously applied to each applicable temperature in the temperature history. Third, a death model of the microorganism is continuously applied to each applicable temperature in the temperature history. The created sanitation level models is used to ascertain the microorganism growth/death rate in the food processing equipment during the use cycle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The vehicular access control barrier (3) is mounted to rotate in a vertical plane (VV). A safety mechanism allows the head (1) which carries the barrier to rotate in a horizontal plane (HH), against an adjustable frictional force.  The access control barrier for vehicle includes a mechanical head (1) mounted on a support (20), carrying the barrier itself (3) mounted to rotate in a vertical plane (VV). A safety system allows the arm to be lifted again in the event of collision with a vehicle. A further mechanism allows the head (1) to rotate in a horizontal plane (HH). A frictional link between the head (1) and the support (20) allows rotation in the horizontal plane in the event of a collision, with an adjustment provided for the degree of force necessary to initiate this rotation. This adjustment is provided by two surfaces which have a low coefficient of friction between them, with a compression system pressing the surfaces together in order to provide the necessary friction to oppose rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass material having a hardened surface layer in which modified material stresses are produced in order to increase the mechanical resistance and to form a breaking pattern. To this end, the resistance in the surface layer is higher than the resistance in a core layer. The inventive glass is characterised in that the material stresses are produced by locally exposing the glass surface to a laser beam in a controlled manner, at predetermined positions, in order to form a predetermined breaking pattern. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for hardening glass, according to which the temperature of the glass surface is increased in a locally defined manner by exposing said surface to a laser beam (7), until the glass transition temperature is reached, and the locally heated glass surface (8) is then quickly cooled.

Abstract: A pipe structure comprising a length of a flexible pipe connected to an end fitting, the flexible pipe comprising an armour layer and an underlying pipe layer the armour layer, the underlying pipe layer having an outer surface around which armouring wires of an armouring layer are helically wound. The pipe structure provides a coupling between a flexible pipe comprising armouring wires and an end fitting, the coupling exerting a relatively low bending or flexure strain on the wires during normal operation of the flexible pipe. The transition path of an armouring wire between the flexible pipe and the end fitting comprises a straight-line-section between a wire-pipe-exit-point where the wire extends away from its underlying pipe layer and a straight-line-end-point on a support unit of the end fitting where the armouring wire in question has its first tangential point of contact. This has the advantage that in a loaded situation where the armouring wires will elongate elastically leading to a change in the helical angle of the armouring wires, the pipe structure will experience a slight twist and a controlled bending of the armouring wires on the surface of the support unit (due to a possible change in the base point of contact of the armouring wire with the support unit induced by the change of helical angle), thereby avoiding substantial bending of the individual armouring wires, which is of particular importance when the armouring wires are formed of a composite material. The pipe structure may be used in flexible pipes for the off shore transport of fluids (e.g. oil).
