  • Patent number: 6800307
    Abstract: A cooked sausage is provided comprising a mixture of a meat emulsion and a fermented milk product preferably having a pH of 4.6 or more. The fermented milk product is substantially homogeneously dispersed through the meat emulsion and the mixture has a pH of about 5.5 or more.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2004

  • Patent number: 6582751
    Abstract: A meat product is provided that comprises a monolithic piece of meat, wherein said piece has been injected with a liquid fermented milk product and then processed mechanically to distribute said fermented milk product substantially uniformly throughout the piece. Also provided is a process for making such a meat product comprising injecting a monolithic piece of meat with a liquid fermented milk product, and thereafter mechanically processing the meat to distribute the fermented milk product substantially uniformly through the meat. Said fermented milk product may comprise one or more products selected from yogurt, buttermilk, soured cream milk, soured milk, fermented whey and kefir. The meat product may be raw, and the fermented milk product may have a pH less than about 5.2, preferably less than about 4.8. Alternatively, the meat product may be cooked, and the fermented milk product may have a pH of not less than 5.0, and preferably at least 5.

  • Patent number: 5164902
    Abstract: A drive slip control system for a motor vehicle which brakes a driven wheel when that wheel begins to slip and which reduces engine torque when both driven wheels begin to slip on the pavement. The action of the drive slip control system is inhibited when the engine speed falls below a preset speed, such as the engine idle speed.

  • Patent number: 4950037
    Abstract: A drive slip regulating system is described, in which the speeds of the drive wheels are compared with one another and as a function of the deviation .DELTA. v a set-point brake pressure is calculated, with which the excessively spinning wheel is to be braked. In the pulsed furnishing of the brake pressure, the valve opening times are calculated, taking the pressure buildup function into account, in such a way that the actual brake pressure corresponds to the set-point brake pressure.

  • Patent number: 4583611
    Abstract: A versatile system for preventing spinning of driving wheels, especially for commercial road vehicles, is provided by a braking control system in which a logic system responds not only to positive slip (overdriving) of each driven wheel, but also to negative slip (overbraking) thereof and, likewise, not only to over-acceleration, but also to excessive deceleration of the driven wheels. The cycle of control is started by an over-acceleration signal and terminates by the timing-out of a control phase in which hydraulic brake pressure is reduced. Within a control cycle, brake pressure builds up for a driven wheel in response to the simultaneous occurrence of any one of the following four pairs of conditions at that wheel: (a) presence of over-acceleration and of negative slip; (b) presence of over-acceleration and of positive slip; (c) presence of over-acceleration and absence of negative slip, and (d) presence of over-deceleration and of positive slip.
