Title: Method of producing simulated meat product from whole soybeans
Inventor: MCCABE EDWARD M
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 1990-02-20
Granted: 1991-11-14
Abstract: A method of processing whole soybeans to produce discrete, irregularly-shaped chunks or pieces of textured proteinaceous material which are free from off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture and appearance. Whole soybeans are hydrated and acidified to a pH in the range of about 4.5 to 6.5 and the pH of the soybeans is maintained in this range throughout processing. The acidified whole soybeans are ground in an aqueous medium to provide an aqueous slurry or dough of soybean particles having a pH in the range of 4.5-6.5. The aqueous acidic slurry or dough is passed through a confined treatment zone in which high temperature pressurized steam is injected directly into a confined stream of the slurry or dough under conditions which effect texturization of the soy protein in the form of discrete chunks or pieces which are discharged from the treatment zone. The texturized pieces, when discharged from the treatment zone or when dried and rehydrated are free of off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture, firmness and appearance. They are suitable for use in a wide variety of food products, including frozen products, canned products and dry mix products. If desired, additives such as flavoring, coloring, fat, seasoning and other proteinaceous materials may be incorporated in the texturized soy protein pieces.

Title: Tool bore closure valve
Inventor: BURRIS WESLEY JAY III
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 1986-06-30
Granted: 1989-11-16
Abstract: A lost-motion valve actuator for use in a wellbare closure valve, enables the valve to be run in a testing string into a well in an open mode, pressure to be applied to the well annulus surrounding the string without cycling the valve, subsequent reduction in the pressure, closure of the valve subsequent to the initial pressure increase, and subsequent opening of the valve with pressure increases and closure with pressure decreases. Thus, the bore closure valve can subsequently respond in a normal manner (open on pressure increase, close on pressure decrease) to pressure changes in the annulus subsequent to the first pressure increase/decrease cycle. An actuator of the invention comprises connector means (42, 144) movable longitudinally to open and close a valve, a mandrel (192) movable longitudinally under the influence of well pressures, and locking dogs (182) to connect and disconnect the mandrel and connector means to effect opening and closing of the valve in response to well pres-sures.

Title: Casting metal strip
Inventor: BLEJDE WALTER

Granted: 2001-07-05
Abstract: Casting metal strip by delivering molten metal to a casting pool (81) supported on a pair of parallel casting rolls (16) and passing metal downwardly between the rolls to produce solidified strip (20). Flow of metal to the casting pool (81) is controlled by an input flow control valve (47). At start of casting when pool (81) is being filled speed of rolls (16) is varied in response to variations between actual instantaneous poo level and predicted level until pool approaches desired operational level. Thereafter any variations between instantaneous roll speed and desired operational roll speed are caused to adjust valve (47) to being pool level and roll speed to desired operational valves. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling flow of casing glass in a cased glass stream
Inventor: SCOTT GARRETT L
IPC: C03B3/00
Filed: 1998-03-30
Granted: 2001-04-05
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice (24) for receiving core glass from a first source (12). A second orifice (26) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by a chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through a gap between the first and second orifices. A spout (36) delivers casing glass from a second source (40) through a tube (32) to the chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. Rate of glass flow through the second or casing glass source (40) is measured and compared with one or more preset limits (78). Rate of casing glass flow from the second source to the chamber surrounding the orifices is adjusted when rate of flow through the second source departs from the preset limit. In this way, a desired ratio of casing glass to core glass, and consequently the desired thickness of the casing glass layer, is automatically maintained.

The crystals are offset by an amount equal to the length of the crystal divided by the number of rows. The rows of crystals on opposite sides of the patient may be rotated 90 degrees relative to each other.

Granted: 2004-05-20
Abstract: An ostomy pouch (10) is defined by a front wall (12) and a rear wall (14) having a stoma aperture (18). One or more rupturable capsules (24) are carried on a carrier or intervening wall (44) welded to the front and rear walls at a common weld seam (16). When desired, a capsule (24) can be ruptured by squeezing, the pouch wall together at that position, to dispense the contents (for example, a deodorising agent, a disinfectant or a preservative). In one form, the carrier does not cover the stoma aperture. In another form, the contents are dispensed on the side facing the front wall (12), and the curtain (44) shields the stoma aperture (18), to prevent the agent spurting out or contacting the stoma. In another form, one or more rupturable capsules may be arranged on the front wall (12) or on the rear wall (14). A plurality of the capsules (24) may contain different agents if desired. In another form, one or more self-dissolving capsules, for example, of gelatine, may be introduced into the pouch to dispense the agent in response to environmental conditions (for example, temperature/humidity) within the pouch.

Granted: 2000-11-30
Abstract: A method of preparing a metal tube for a length of superconducting wire Inserts superconducting base material into the tube and packs or coils the tube so that a portion of its outer surface would contact another surface. To prevent the portion of the outer surface from sticking to the other surface, the portion is coated with powder material particles suspended in an effectively liquid component before the packing or coiling so that the surfaces do not contact each other. The powder material has a melting point temperature higher than the melting point temperature of the tube and the liquid component evaporates or burns away completely at the temperature that forms the superconducting phase of the superconducting base material.
