A carcass splitting apparatus 10 splits the carcass of an animal suspended by a suspension mechanism from an overhead conveyor. The apparatus includes a frame and a carriage assembly for moving along the frame. A drive mechanism moves the carriage along the frame and a saw is connected to the carriage for general vertical movement to split the carcass. A suspension member pusher is connected to th...

A shield connecting system for a helmet has components mounted on the right and left sides of the helmet, and components that are provided on the face shield. The components that are mounted on each side of the helmet include a fixation mechanism that has a rotation member, a first resilient plate, and a second resilient plate which is installed under the first resilient plate. The fixation mechan...

The device is used for limiting the temperature of a laser diode (12), which emits lightwaves, of a space satellite. The temperature limitation is performed with the aid of a heat transfer arrangement (10), by means of which heat is transferred from the laser diode (16, 18) to a heat sink (14). The heat transfer capacity of the heat transfer arrangement (10) is directly correlated with the tempera...

The holding device is configured as a U-shaped base body with an upward arching outside area having guide grooves and holders for installing the fibers in the device. The stamping device consists of a stamp, a stamp neck and a stamp head, which are inserted and linearly...

A method and apparatus for the effective delivery of a material, such as a medication, to a desired location in a human. In one embodiment of the invention, a bone screw, including a head portion, a cannulated slotted shaft portion and a tip portion, includes an injection site for removably attaching an injection device, such as a syringe. Since the shaft portion is slotted, injected material flow...

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for implementing automatic gain control in a system where an analog signal is converted into a digital signal. The apparatus comprises means (208) for performing automatic gain control of the adjustable signal in an analog manner using a gain control step of predetermined size and means (446, 448) for performing inverse gain control of the digitiz...

A method and apparatus for increasing power output and efficiency of gas turbines. Power output is enhanced and NOx emissions are lowered while heat rate penalties are minimized by adding nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and water vapor to the gas turbine in conjunction with the use of low pressure steam.
