  • Patent number: 11906129
    Abstract: A circular recessed channel lighting system having a closed-loop channel section with a U-shaped channel having two parallel sides, first and second flange elements, each flange element extending from an end of one of the parallel sides of the U-shaped channel, an LED positioned within the U-shaped channel, and a flexible lens positioned over an open end of the U-shaped channel to allow light from the LED outward. The flange elements include through holes for adhesion of a building material (e.g., joint compound) and the U-shaped channel has a depth not greater than ? inches (0.625 inches).

  • Patent number: 8033711
    Abstract: A bendable line voltage track lighting system includes a track having a conductor subassembly and first and second bendable sheaths that engage the conductor subassembly. The conductor subassembly includes first and second insulators that receive first and second bus-bars, respectively, and a compression gasket for biasing the two insulators into engagement with guide grooves in the bendable sheaths. Power is fed to the track by power connectors that engage the bus-bars contained within the conductor subassembly. Light fixtures are powered by making electrical contact with the bus-bars of the conductor subassembly.

  • Publication number: 20070110884
    Abstract: A process of treating a slab of steak is disclosed. The process comprises cleaning the steak and then placing the steak in a tenderiser to tenderise the steak. The process then includes pumping a meat additive into the slab of steak. The meat additive comprises sodium alginate; at least one of sodium lactate, sodium citrate and citric acid; and water and optionally also slats and vegetable protein. Thereafter the slab of steak is placed into a vacuum massager and massaged for a period of time. An amount of hydrolysed calcium sulphate and/or carrageenan is added to the slab of steak before or after said vacuum massaging step. The next step involves forcing the meat through an orifice and into a meat casing having at least one open end to form a cased meat product. Thereafter any open ends of the meat casing are closed. The cased meat product is then stored at a temperature of 1° C. to 10° C. for at least 12 hours to allow the steak and the additive pumped into it to set.

  • Publication number: 20060232979
    Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture for a surface defined by a panel where the light is adapted for mounting behind the surface aligned with a panel opening having a selected configuration. The fixture includes a can having an opening on one side for escaping light, a mount for securing a light source in the can, and a flange member having a central opening matching the can opening. The can is mountable behind the surface with the can opening facing and selectively positioned in the panel opening and has a first mounting adapter about the can opening. A second mounting adapter is about the flange member opening. A plaster flange is secured to the flange member to define a substantially planar surface with an inner boundary matching the can opening and an outer boundary generally matching the panel opening.
