A steam cooker processes large quantities of food products such as meat, fish, poultry and produce passed therethrough in a spiral conveyor path. The continuously running conveyor is provided with loading and unloading stations outside the cooker and with a continuously operable spray detergent cleaning bath. Efficient cooking is achieved without loss of humidity, flavor or appearance by maintaini...

There is provided a measuring apparatus for determination of oxygen partial pressure in liquids and gases which comprises a substantially sheathed metallic cathode having a small, unsheathed metallic surface and a metallic anode, an ion impermeable but gas permeable membrane interposed between the material whose oxygen content is to be measured and the unsheathed metallic surface of the cathode, a...

An arrangement for measuring oxygen concentrations consists of a noble metal reduction electrode 2 surrounded by a annular reference electrode 3, the two electrodes being enclosed from the surrounding environment by polytetrafluoroethylene membrane 6. In order to prevent contamination of the electrode 2, said electrode is covered by a membrane containing a sodium selective cation ligand 20 and the...

PURPOSE:To obtain a high-quality base material for optical fiber little in OH group content in case of producing the base material for optical fiber in a rode-in-tube method by decompressing and exhausting the inside of a glass pipe and also melting the glass pipe and a glass rod to make them to one body while allowing gaseous chloride to flow through the pipe. CONSTITUTION:A quartz glass rod 1 be...

A wind powered vehicle having a platform (10) and a sail (152) mounted by a mast (90) to an upper surface (12) of a platform. A pair of elongated runners (14 and 16), such as snow skis, water skis, skates pontoons or the like are pivotally secure to opposite sides of the platform so that the runners are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The platform (10) is pivotal with respect to the runne...

A dish washing aid device for segregating soapy dish water in a single basin kitchen sink, the device comprising a lower base portion adapted to seal with the bottom wall of the basin about a drain therein, the base portion having a water tight vertically adjustable swivel connection with an upper funnel-like portion serving as a diverter for rinse water and being adapted to be rotated to a positi...

The servo automodulator is intended for connection to the brake system of the tractor vehicle through a power pipeline, called the automatic pipeline, and a control pipeline called the variable pipeline. This device comprises a body with first and second inlet connectors for connection to the variable pipeline and to the automatic pipeline respectively, an inlet/outlet connector and an outlet conn...

The system comprises a low-voltage electrical supply, an inductive voltage-increaser, a plurality of plugs, and distribution means for allowing the selective supply of high voltage to the plugs through the voltage-increaser. The latter comprises a low-voltage winding through which current flows each time a spark is prouduced in at least one plug, and a plurality of coils each of which is associate...
