Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the photometric determination of properties of meat pieces, particularly the concentration of substances comprised therein, such as the pigment and protein content of meat, which are based on measuring the intensity of light, reflected from a meat surface whithin a predetermined wavelength range, and determining a quantitative value of the respective meat property therefrom. According to the invention, the measurements are made at a plurality of different wavelenghts, e.g. 32, covering a continuous wavelength range or spectrum. The obtained values are inserted as variables into a multi-variable equation or algorithm, the concentration values are calculated therewith. The method and apparatus of the invention may be applied to pieces of meat which are conveyed on a slaughter line. The property determination is quick and so accurate that the pieces of meat may be graded immediately in accordance with the determined property.

Title: Process for the preparation of sodium or potassium l-ascorbate
Inventor: KEGLEVIC TOMISLAV
IPC: C07D307/62
Filed: 1990-06-18
Granted: 1992-09-23
Abstract: In the described process for the preparation of sodium or potassium L-ascorbate, 2-keto-L-gulonic acid monohydrate is esterified with methanol. The esterification is only carried out partially, i.e. not to attainment of the esterification equilibrium. In an intermediate step, unesterified 2-keto-L-gulonic acid and any impurities are precipitated and removed by addition of sodium bicarbonate or of potassium bicarbonate in an amount essentially adequate for neutralising the ester solution. Subsequently, the lactonisation of the methyl 2-keto-L-gulonate formed is facilitated by addition of further bicarbonate. To achieve a high yield the unesterified 2-keto- L-gulonic acid from the bicarbonate precipitation can be subsequently esterified using the same process, preferably in parallel, and likewise converted into ascorbate. The process enables the preparation of very pure sodium or potassium ascorbate suitable for pharmaceutical purposes in an economical manner.

Abstract: 2.1. Fastening elements having an expanding cone and an expanding element which can be pushed thereon can be anchored in a positively locking manner in drilled holes having undercuts. In the case of drilled holes having a very small drilled hole depth, special requirements are placed on the fastening elements. 
<??>2.2. A fastening element (5) is proposed especially for the fastening of facade plates, on the expanding cone (6) of which fastening element (5) there rests a ring (7), which is bent in a roof shape, as the expanding element. For anchorage in the drilled hole, the ring (7) is pushed onto the expanding cone (6) and is largely pressed flat thereby, lateral edges of the ring (7) being braced on the wall of the drilled hole.

Abstract: The perception of grayscale shading on a digitally commanded display is produced by commanding pixels of the display with brightness-setting signals of differing average duty cycles. Brightness-setting signals having one brightness level associated with them are phase shifted in relation to time and distributed to spaced apart pixel locations at which the one brightness level is to be produced. The energization of spatially adjacent pixels is scattered in time and pixels which are energized at the same time are selected to be spatially scattered so as to avoid the perception of visual disturbances such as flickering and surface streaming.
