Patent number: 11946740Abstract: A coating thickness measuring instrument comprising: a magnetic induction probe comprising at least one drive coil and at least one pick-up coil; a driver for driving an alternating current in the or each drive coil; and a detector for detecting the output of the or each pick-up coil; and a processor configured to: apply a transfer function to the detector output to produce an output which corresponds to a measured coating thickness; and, scale both the drive current and detector output simultaneously in response to the output. The scaling may be changed in a step-wise manner. The scaling applied to the drive current may be inversely proportional to the scaling applied to the detector output. The scaling may be defined by a first and second scaling factor, stored as a pair. The instrument may store two or more pairs of scaling factors and select a pair in response to the measured coating thickness.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Elcometer LimitedInventors: Philip Anthony May, Simon Trevena Coulton, Alan James Dodd, Maria Isabel Jimenez-Lopez

Patent number: 4392418Abstract: An apparatus for cooking large quantities of a food product such as corn. To ensure that the individual particles of the food product being prepared will not stick together and will be uniformly cooked, each particle is surrounded by water at a controlled elevated temperature during the cooking cycle. Mechanical agitation of the product during cooking is not necessary and steeping can be accomplished within the cooking vessel.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1977Date of Patent: July 12, 1983Assignee: Electra Food Machinery, Inc.Inventor: James A. Jimenez

Patent number: 4189504Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooking corn is disclosed whereby corn particles are immersed in water in a cooking vessel to form a mass of corn particles, and the water is circulated throughout said mass. The temperature of the mass is raised and the corn particles agitated by directing steam, from a steam chamber, into said mass by deflecting said steam radially outwardly through perforated side walls in the steam chamber. The steam flow is then stopped whereafter the water circulation is stopped and cooked particles of corn are obtained.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1979Date of Patent: February 19, 1980Assignee: Electra Food Machinery, Inc.Inventor: James A.

Patent number: 4184418Abstract: An improved apparatus for preparing taco shells from uncooked tortillas comprising a vessel having shaped side walls for containing cooking oil, a conveyor assembly including a deformable endless wire mesh belt for moving the tortillas through the cooking oil and a plurality of mold members cooperatively associated with the conveyor assembly for forming the tortillas into taco shells.In operation of the apparatus, the wire mesh belt slides along, and is controllably deformed by the shaped side walls of the vessel thereby minimizing the amount of cooking oil which is used. An additional novel feature of the apparatus resides in the unique arrangement for removing the formed taco shell directly from the rearward end of the apparatus after it has been cooked and depositing it onto an auxillary conveyor for transport to a packaging station.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1978Date of Patent: January 22, 1980Assignee: Electra Food Machinery, Inc.Inventor: James A. Jimenez

Patent number: 4171198Abstract: An apparatus for continuously extruding pliant material into thin sheets. Rather than following the standard approach of using cooperating rollers to extrude the material, in the apparatus of the present invention, the material is extruded through the cooperative interaction of a multi-sided rotor mechanism and a reciprocating barrier member. This arrangement overcomes many of the drawbacks inherent in extrusion devices of standard design including the undesirable tendancy of the material being extruded to tenaciously adhere to the rollers after extrusion.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1977Date of Patent: October 16, 1979Assignees: Alfred A. Aguirre, Apolonio ReyesInventors: James A. Jimenez, Alfred A. Aguirre, Apolonio Reyes
