  • Patent number: 4301770
    Abstract: A mechanized method for shackling and handling live poultry is based on mechanically gathering the live fowl on foot at the farm and conveying successive groups of the gathered fowl into shackles in which the live fowl are transported from the farm to the processing plant. At the processing plant, the shackles containing respective groups of fowl are adapted to be releasably supported on the processing conveyor for suspending the fowl during processing. The method for handling live poultry can also be employed with transport vehicles which deliver poultry to the processing plant loose and on foot within the confines of the transport vehicle. In this embodiment, the live poultry are mechanically grouped and conveyed directly from the transport vehicle to the shackles and the loaded shackles with the live fowl are then transferred directly to the plant processing conveyor for processing.

  • Patent number: 4290791
    Abstract: A gas-liquid separator wherein a helical passageway is defined between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder in such a way that a working fluid with entrained bubbles may be forced to flow tangentially into the helical passage and swirl therethrough. The entrained bubbles are separated from the liquid through centrifugal force produced by the swirling or vortical flow through the helical passageway and trapped or collected inside the inner cylinder, from which they are discharged to the exterior.

  • Patent number: 4281645
    Abstract: A spectrophotometric transillumination method and apparatus are directed to non-invasive, continuous, atraumatic, in vivo, in situ monitoring of metabolism in a body organ. In the described applications, measuring and reference wavelengths within the near infrared region, i.e., 700-1300 nm, are utilized for non-invasive, continuous, atraumatic, in situ, in vivo monitoring of oxidative metabolism by monitoring oxygen sufficiency in an internal organ, e.g., the brain or heart, of a human or animal body. Advantage is taken of the critical characteristic of cellular enzyme cytochrome a, a.sub.3 within the optical path and within the radiated portion of the selected organ for absorbing the selected measuring wavelength and for light of this measuring wavelength, as well as at least one reference wavelength within the same defined infrared region and at a low, non-hazardous level of intensity to travel through and be detectable at the end of a relatively long path, e.g.
