Title: A cattle carcass deboning system
Inventor: MCDONNELL DECLAN ARTHUR
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 2009-07-20
Abstract: A cattle carcass processing system comprises a carcass input system (1, fig 1) a deboning system (2, fig 1), a trimming system (3, fig 1), a quality control inspection system (4, fig 1), a primal membrane removal system (5, fig 1), and a packaging system (6, fig 1). The carcass side 11 is split into a hindquarter 14 and a forequarter 15 and alternate forequarters and hindquarters are delivered onto a main processing rail 21. The deboning system comprises the overhead rail along which a plurality of carriages (22, fig 4) run. Each carriage carries a support hook 13 for a carcass quarter. An incoming quarter is weighed and the weight and other details are introduced into the system by scanning the unique bar-coded label (29, fig 4) attached to the quarter while it is weighed. This animal identification is tracked and traced throughout the remainder of the process. The beef quarters are subsequently de-boned using electromechanical de-boning machines. Meat cuts and/or bones are removed. The conveyor line minimises wasted operator movement in retrieving and removing beef quarters from each cutting and or deboning station. Workers are paced to complete their tasks in a defined time period by setting the same residence time each deboning and/or cutting station.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the controlled delivery of yarn in tufting apparatus
IPC: D05C15/18
Filed: 1967-03-06
Abstract: 1,126,549. Programmed control. CALLAWAY MILLS CO. March 6, 1967 [March 7, 1966], No.10450/ 67. Heading G3N. [Also in Division D1] A predetermined pattern formed by yarn tufts of different lengths is produced in a multi-needle tufting machine by frictionally feeding yarn to each needle through successive time intervals during each tuft-forming cycle, and by selectively varying the number of said time intervals for each needle during successive cycles. As shown, yarns 56 are fed to hollow needles 22 reciprocated through moving backing fabric 27, and compressed air is blown through the needles as the latter penetrate the fabric to project the yarns in the form of tuft loops 33, the height of which is determined by the length of yarn fed to a needle during the tuft-forming cycle. Each yarn is frictionally engaged between a wheel 50 driven by a motor 40, and an idler wheel 53. Motor 40 is of the pulseresponsive type, the driving shaft of the motor rotating a predetermined amount in response to an electrical impulse applied to the motor. The diameter of pulley 50 is such that a single pulse feeds the yarn a distance equal to a backstitch 61 interconnecting adjacent tufts. The length of a tuft is determined by the number of pulses applied in a tuft-forming cycle additional to that pulse required for the formation of the backstitch. The pulses are generated by electronic control means and are applied to the motors 40 via a patch board 85. Initially, the information defining a tufted pattern 80 in terms of loops 33 of various heights is converted into punch cards 81 for input to a digital computer 82 programmed for the preparation of a pattern programme magnetic tape 83. The latter contains a series of binary coded characters, each of which is equivalent to a decimal number representing the relative height of a loop 33 in that group of loops 33 formed in a single cycle. Each series is followed by a similar series to complete the number of cycles required for a particular complete pattern 80. Electrical input for the control means is provided by a tape reader 84. Yarn feed for the backstitches is effected simultaneously when a rotary cam member 90 actuates a microswitch 97 just after the needles commence to descend. Yarn feed for loop formation commences simultaneously when member 90 actuates a microswitch 106 just after the needles penetrate the backing fabric. The control means responsive to the tape comprises a number of bi-stable elements and logic elements which provide pulse outputs numerically proportional to the binary coded characters. The patchboard enables two sides of a symmetrical pattern to be controlled from one binary coded character or a plurality of tufting machines from one tape.

Title: Vibratory structure for sound transmitters or receivers, particularly for submarine purposes
IPC: B06B1/08
Filed: 1934-04-06
Abstract: 422,259. Sound receiving and transmitting devices. ATLAS-WERKE AKT.-GES., 16, Stephanikirchenweide, Bremen, Germany. April 6, 1934, No. 10510. Convention date, April 6, 1933. [Class 40 (iv)] Relates to magnetostrictive sound transmitters or receivers, more particularly for submarine purposes, in which the magnetic lines of force flow in a magnetically closed circuit of magnetic material and consists of an arrangement in which the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa takes place substantially only at those points of the vibratory member where the greatest elongation per unit of length occurs at resonance. Fig. 1 shows a construction in which a bar-shaped vibratory member 4 composed of individual wires, sheets or tubes of magnetostrictive material is rigidly secured at one end to a large mass 5. When the bar 4 is vibrated longitudinally at its fundamental frequency, the amplitude of movement at the point at which the bar is secured to the mass 5 is practically zero while at the free end of the bar it has a maximum value. Conversely, the elongation per unit length at the free end is zero and reaches its maximum value in the neighbourhood of the point at which the bar is secured to the mass 5. The coil winding 6 is therefore arranged on that part of the bar which borders on the mass 5. Yokes 7 of laminated sheet iron surrounded by coils 8 are also provided as shown and complete a magnetic circuit through the mass 5, which is also of laminated sheet iron, and the bar 4. According to a modification of this construction (Fig. 2, not shown), the bar-shaped member is vibrated at an overtone and the yokes carrying the magnetic alternating flux are arranged at a point about one quarter of a wave length from the free end of the bar. Fig. 3 shows a construction employing two bar-shaped magnetostrictive members 12 united at their ends by plates 13, the coils 14 being arranged around the central zones of the bars and the magnetic flux limited substantially to these central zones by magnetic yokes 15. Fig. 4 shows a further modification in which the vibratory body consists of a number of sheets 16 having end masses 19, 20 connected by bridges 17 surrounded by the coils 18, the magnetic flux being concentrated substantially in the bridges. According to a modification of this arrangement, Fig. 5, a magnetic yoke 21 carrying the coil 23 is arranged in a recess in the sheets 22, the magnetic flux being again concentrated substantially in the bridges 24.
