Abstract: Batches of meat are weighed in a first hopper (12) used to supply the injection machine (14). A computerized control center then determines the amount of brine to be injected into each batch as a function of the measured batch weight. A plant for the continuous processing and packing of meat comprises a station (10) for injecting brine into the meat, a maceration station (20) for the meat injected with brine, and a packing station (30) for the processed meat. The maceration station has at least one rotary drum (22) and several settling tanks (24), the latter being connected to a device for transporting the processed meat step by step along a closed circuit (26) around the drum. These stations are connected to a collection and loading unit (40) between the injection station exit and maceration station entrance, a reloading unit (50) between the maceration station and the collection and loading unit, and a transfer unit (60) for transferring processed meat to a hopper (62) supplying meat to the packing station. The collection and loading unit comprises at least two hoppers (42, 44) and a device (46) for distributing meat from the injection station to these hoppers alternately. The reloading unit includes a system for transferring meat from the settling tanks to the second hopper (44), in order to return it to the rotary drum. A cleaning unit (70) for the settling tanks can be moved along a path up to the transfer unit. At least one computerized control center is used to coordinate the operating steps of these stations and units during the working cycle, so that a time is assigned to each station, unit or part thereof for cleaning this cycle, whilst keeping the process a continuous one. A first hopper used to receive batches of meat to be processed is provided with a system for measuring the weight of the batch and a system for delivering the weighed batch to the injection machine. The control center includes a system for determining the amount of brine to be injected into each batch as a function of the measured batch weight. Independent claims are also included for an additional four continuous meat processing and packing plants, all of which include the above injection, maceration and packing stations, as well as the above collection/unloading, reloading, transfer and cleaning units.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for protecting reinforcement in concrete from the corrosion caused by chloride ions. According to the method, metallic copper and/or copper compounds are added to the concrete mass, in which mass the copper reacts with the chloride to form salts with a chloride content and of low solubility, thus substantially reducing the danger of steel corrosion caused by chloride. The copper or copper compound can also be brought into close contact with the concrete, for example in the form of a repair mortar.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de commutation de données qui comporte des routeurs d'entrée et des routeurs de sortie connectés entre eux par une matrice de commutation contrôlée par un contrôleur. Chaque routeur d'entrée maintient une ou plusieurs files d'attente de sortie virtuelles pour chaque routeur de sortie. La matrice de commutation elle-même maintient un tampon de transmission des têtes de files d'attente des cellules. Chacune de ces files correspond à une des files d'attentes de sortie virtuelles, et les cellules mémorisées dans la matrice de commutation sont répliquées à partir des cellules placées dans les files de sortie virtuelles correspondantes. Ainsi, lorsqu'il est déterminé qu'une connexion doit être assurée entre une entrée et une sortie données de la matrice de commutation, une cellule appropriée pour la transmission le long de cette connexion est déjà disponible pour la matrice de commutation. Dès réception d'une nouvelle cellule par un des routeurs d'entrée, la cellule est mémorisée dans une des files de sortie virtuelles du routeur d'entrée correspondant au routeur de sortie pour cette cellule, et également écrite dans le tampon de transmission correspondant des têtes de file , si ce tampon n'a pas d'espace.

Abstract: Surface treatment of organic polymer materials and material surfaces with oligo- or polysaccharide as passivation agent for deliberate alteration of the sorption properties, the diffusion barrier function, lubricative wetting and/or biocompatibility of organic polymers, is described. The passivating agent is derivatized with chemical entities that allow tight adsorption and/or covalent binding of the passivating agent to organic polymers or elastomer surfaces. The passivating agent may be derivatized with a primary functional group to allow covalent surface passivation by photo- or thermal activation of the derivative. The passivating agent may comprise one or more secondary functional groups that allow covalent binding of probe molecules and receptors to the passivated surface. The surface treatment improves the biocompatibility of medical devices and the performance of bioanalytical systems. Its application for heterogeneous affinity based assays, biosensor analysis platforms, microcontact printing, and lubrication of medical devices is described. Devices comprising surfaces passivated PDMS organic polymer are also described.
