The specification describes a method and apparatus for processing bivalve shellfish, particularly scallops. The two shells are first parted by a small amount and a cutting tool is inserted to detach the shellfish from one of the shells. The two shells are then separated. The shell having the shellfish attached is rotated about an axis passing through the centre of the edible portion and the offal ...

GARDEN HOSE STORAGE APPARATUS A garden hose storage apparatus is particularly adapted for mounting on a substantially vertical surface and includes a side mount. The side mount has a base adapted for attachment to a substantially vertical surface and a cantilever journal is formed integral with the base. An elongated pipe is fixed in the cantilever journal and extends outwardly from the journal. A...

For the purpose of damping natural oscillatory movements in a preferably ceiling-suspended pillar-stand (1,2) for carrying X-ray equipment (4,5) a pendulum arrangement (10) or the like is arranged in the stand part (2). When natural oscillatory movements occur in the pillar-stand when making positional adjustment thereto, the natural oscillatory movement of the stand is effectively extinguished wi...

A method of mechanically frothing and casting an aqueous ionic polyurethane dispersion to yield a mechanically frothed polyurethane foam. The method comprises admixing an aqueous ionic polyurethane dispersion with a stearate stabilizer and an optional aziridine crosslinking agent, and frothing the low viscosity admixture. The polyurethane dispersion contains particles having an average size of les...

This invention describes novel molded flexible polyurethane foam surfactants which can be used in foam having high concentrations of reinforcing graft copolymer solids. The invention also describes the improved process for making these foams using the novel surfactants.

In an amplitude-modulated or frequency modulated audio signal transmission system, a system for eliminating breakup of transmissions of photographs, negatives or any rapidly changing audio signal transmitted from one remote location to another over standard telephone lines and networks includes superimposing an audio carrier signal on the signal from the picture or information transmitting unit, i...

1. Process for the production of foils (4) with low surface adhesivity from a plasticised melt (A) having a plasticiser-containing polyvinylbutyral basis or a basis or polymers with similar properties, by extrusion with a broad slit tool (1), wherein the plasticised melt (A) is shaped with the wide slit tool (1) with input channel (10), distribution channel (11) and outlet gap (13) to form a foil,...
