Title: Method for hardening the surface of sausage meat using ultrasonic treatment
Inventor: KORTSCHACK FRITZ
IPC: A23L5/30
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a proceed for solidifying the surface of raw sausage emulsion using ultrasound treatment and/or an adhesion-minimizing microstructure on the sonotrode interior surface while it is being transported, with, in the course of a continuous process, a substantial degassing of the raw product first being carried out. Subsequently, there is a direct contacting of the raw product with the surface of one or more ultrasonic sonotrodes, at least one of the ultrasonic sonotrodes being heated. As a result of the treatment, a thin, sealed, shape-stabilizing independent coagulation skin forms on the surface of the raw product. The ultrasonic energy is in the low frequency range, but has a high vibrational amplitude.

Title: Optical-to-electric transducer with extended dynamic range
Inventor: HEIDEMANN ROLF DR
IPC: H04B10/291
Filed: 1992-02-17
Abstract: In optical receivers for optical data transmission, the problem exists that a wide dynamic range is required, since the receiver must be able to process optical signals whose level may fluctuate greatly depending on the location of use. This problem is solved according to the invention by providing an optical amplifier, in particular a fibre-optic amplifier, through which the incoming optical signal passes before entering the transducer itself, and whose amplification or attenuation factor is controlled depending on the electric output signal of the transducer.   <IMAGE>

Title: Methods for preparing pulpwood for digestion
Inventor: ADAMS JAMES E
IPC: D21B1/02
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: Methods for processing wood chips for digestion utilize a chip destructuring apparatus. The method includes an initial disc screen for removing the gross overthick and oversized chips which are discarded or are processed through a rechipper. After the initial disc screen, the entire stream of chips is processed to eliminate tramp metal. The entire chip stream is screened to remove fines. The stream of chips is fed to the chip destructuring apparatus from a surge bin with a star feeder. The star feeder is a metering device and is operated by a controller which monitors the level of chips in the surge bin. The controller uses the star feeder to feed a steady supply of chips to the chip destructuring apparatus which allows the destructuring apparatus to be configured for a maximum feed rate.

Abstract: A bogie or truck for high-speed rail vehicles or railway cars includes an H-shaped bogie or truck frame, primary springs cushioning the bogie frame, and a lateral bolster being movable relative to the bogie frame, receiving a coach or car body and being cushioned relative to the bogie or truck frame by air springs. The object is to provide a bogie with a low number of contact points with the coach body, which allows a configuration for rotational retardation, which has a minimum structural width and low weight, which permits small air spring bellows, which allows the installation of additional air reservoirs for the air springs below the lateral bolster and which has additional assemblies disposed at locations which keep the bearing components free from bending or torsional stresses. According to the invention, each air spring is supported directly on the side wall of the bogie frame. The lateral bolster carries friction plates on its upper surface near its transverse ends above its bearing on the air spring for supporting the coach body. The lateral bolster is movable relative to the bogie frame only vertically and horizontally transversely within a defined path and is guided horizontally in the longitudinal direction with play in guides of the bogie frame. The lateral bolster is connected to the coach body through a journal which transmits only horizontal forces, and can be freely rotated with the bogie frame relative to the coach body.

Title: Sealing device for introducing cement into a bone canal
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 1988-11-29
Abstract: A proximal femoral sealing device 10 is disclosed for use in the application of bone cement under pressure to a surgically prepared medullary canal 15 of a femur prior to the implantation of a hip prosthesis. The proximal femoral sealing device 10 is formed of a generally solid body member 12 with a passageway 26 and a flexible annular wall member 14 extending from the body member 12. The sealing device 10 has an anatomically shaped outer surface 13, corresponding to the exposed endosteal surface 11 of a prepared medullary canal 15. A chamber 16 defined by a flexible annular wall 14 and the body member 12 opens into the medullary canal 15. In turn, the passageway 26 communicates with the chamber 16 and permits insertion of a cement nozzle 27 therethrough into the chamber. In operation, the proximal femoral sealing device 10 is placed within the proximal end of a surgically prepared medullary canal 15. The canal 15 and chamber 16 of the sealing device are filled with cement resulting in the expansion of the flexible annular wall member 14 against the exposed endosteal walls 11 of the medullary canal 15 by cement pressure within the chamber thereby forming a pressure seal. The escape of cement through the open end of the excavated medullary canal 15 is prevented via this pressure seal insuring that the applied cement is properly pressurized and that the medullary canal 15 is prepared for implementation of the prosthetic device 10. A method of providing cement under pressure to the exposed endosteal surface 11 of a medullary canal 15 is also disclosed using this proximal femoral sealing device 10.
