Title: Method for detecting poor meat quality in groups of live animals
Inventor: TONG ALAN KWAI-WAH
IPC: A01K29/00
Filed: 1996-10-16
Abstract: The invention provides methods of detecting poor meat quality in live animals using infrared thermography. Animals from a group of live domestic animals such as cattle or swine are scanned to produce thermographic images. The images are then statistically analyzed to determine a measure of central tendency such as the mean temperature for each animal's image and for all of the images in the group. A measure of dispersion from the measure of central tendency, such as standard deviation is determined. Then, animals are rejected as having a high probability of producing poor meat quality if the measure of central tendency for that animal's temperature differs from the measure of central tendency for the group by more than 0.9 standard deviations. Alternatively a set percent of animals are rejected, preferably up to 20%, these being animals whose measures of central tendency differ the most from the measure of central tendency for the group. When mean temperature is used as a measure of central tendency, the method is preferably practised by rejecting animals whose mean temperature differs from the group mean temperature by more than 1.28 times the standard deviation for the group. The method is particularly useful in detecting high probability of poor meat quality in groups of animals in an antemortem environment which have mean temperatures significantly above or below the normal surface temperatures for unstressed animals.

Title: Cooling and recycling acid effluents - with recovery of heat in useable form
Inventor: PAUWELS F
IPC: F28D21/00
Filed: 1982-09-10
Abstract: Acid effluents, e.g. from the extraction of zinc, are cooled to recover heat produced by exothermic reaction. The acid is passed through a liquid/liquid heat exchanger, the acid side plates anodically protected. The entry temperature is between 100 and 130 deg.C, and the exit between 84 and 114 deg.C. Cooled acid is recycled. Water from the other side passes to a separator sphere, and is evaporated under partial vacuum. Vapour passes to a multistage compressor, with water injection to saturate it after each stage. It emerges at 2.7 bar pressure, and 134 deg.C made-up residual water from the separator is returned to the heat exchanger. (8pp) Typically these effluents are passed through a cooling tower, wasting the heat extracted. In this installation, it is recovered and converted into a form where it provides a useful auxiliary heat source.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cold-rolling metallic rolling stock (4), in which the rolling stock (4) passes through the roll nip (3) between oppositely driven rollers (2) at room temperature in order to undergo a plastic shape change. To avoid the problems caused by the use of liquid coolants and to achieve an improved surface quality of the rolling stock (4), the invention proposes that inert gas, which is at a lower temperature than the rolling-stock temperature in the roll nip, is blown into the region of the roll nip (3). The invention also relates to a cold-rolling stand for carrying out this method.
