Abstract: A multi-latch compatible system is disclosed for electrical enclosures. The system accommodates latches of different types and configurations. A rail structure may be formed to interface with pin-type latches and with plate-type latches. The rail structure may be configured as a pre-assembled insert that can be placed within an electrical enclosure. The system permits the same general structure to be used regardless of the type of latching mechanism selected and installed in the enclosure.

Abstract: A reduced form factor component support is provided for motor control centers and similar packaged electrical systems. The reduced form factor component support may be used with smaller components, such as small motor starters, motor drives, and so forth. Electrical connections with standard bus bars in the enclosure are made through special connectors mounted on subplates in the rear of the enclosure, or by an invertible stab housing that can allow the reduced form factor component support to share conventional slots in a bus cover, thereby providing access to the supply power in the enclosure.

Abstract: “Obtaining method of a food article-type—Stroganoff—in a flexible bag-type or similar packing, for immediate consumption stable at environment temperature”, obtaining method that dispenses with refrigeration for the conservation of the “Stroganoff”-type product ready for consumption during the whole chain formed from industrial production to the preparation/consumption by the final consumer, that is, consisting of stages that, after the product is packed, it dispenses with refrigeration during transport, storage and/or exhibition for sale, naturally maintaining all the product features and qualities of the ready product without the need of a cold chain (cooling and/or freezing) for such; the present manufacturing method can be applied to several other different types of sauces which are commonly found for sale under refrigeration.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the packing in tray format for the conditioning of food products prepared ready for consumption, that is, those coming seasoned and cooked/baked/fried, dealing more specifically with a packing with a physical structure comprising a laminate of plastics, comprised by layers of PP/EVOH/PP, with means that allow the thermosealing of the upper tray rim by plastic film and once sealed the said packing maintains naturally stable all the features and quality of the prepared product, dispensing with the need of the refrigeration chain (cooling and/or freezing) for conservation of the said product.

Abstract: Bearing caps and methods for manufacturing bearing cap are disclosed. Bearing cap includes a body that comprises an abutment surface, a bearing surface, an exterior surface, and a recess portion. The abutment surface provides for the bearing cap to be coupled to an engine along a flat and even surface. The bearing surface provides for the bearing cap to at least partially capture the bearing shaft to secure the bearing shaft when the bearing cap is abutted to the engine. The recess portion extends into the body of the bearing cap from the exterior surface to reduce the weight of the bearing cap. The recess portion can be located anywhere along the exterior surface and be any shape and dimension that retains sufficient structural integrity of the bearing cap to secure the balance shaft to the engine.

Abstract: A meat part product marked or engraved and method for its marking or engraving, in low or high relief, containing a marking or engraving above or below an external surface plane. The meat part can be pieces, cubes, slices or milled portions, sausages and/or any other form of meat of any origin, such as bovine, swine, poultry, fish, buffaloes, filled in natural and/or artificial tripes, which can be in the raw, baked, fried, cooked, cured, dried state, originating or not from preparation stages, seasoned or not. The meat parts are forwarded to equipment producing heat or rays, with the possibility of laser rays, preferably regulated by PLC—Programmable Logic Controller, so that, according to the type of meat, the type of marking or engraving in low or high relief will be identified and which will not disintegrate or dissolve, even after the preparation for final consumption.

Abstract: Pressure actuated oil jets have long been used to cool the underside of the pistons in such reciprocating engines. The present disclosure is a fluid jet for providing fluid under pressure to a desired location. The fluid jet comprises a valve body, at least one fluid passage extending longitudinally within at least a portion of the valve body, a fluid pressure actuated valve element located within the valve body and moveable longitudinally therein between a valve open position and a valve closed position, and a sleeve extending inwardly within said valve body, wherein said valve element is retained within said sleeve when oil pressure drops below a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A packaged electrical system includes an enclosure and a main interior volume for component supports. The component supports may support electrical, electronic, power electronic and similar components, as well as switchgear and the like. A main power wireway is provided adjacent to the main interior volume of the enclosure for accommodating three phase power conductors. A network and control power wireway is formed separately from the main power wireway. The network and control power wireway may be formed toward the rear of the main interior volume, and may accommodate plug-in connections between component supports and network conductors and control power conductors. The network and control power wireway is thus accessible through a separate door from the main power wireway.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a marking or engraving means (1), automated (A) or manual, applied over the external surface (S) of meat (2) in general, meats as obtained in parts (2a), pieces/cubes (2b), slices (2c), milled portions (hamburgers, meatballs) (2d), sausages (2e) and/or any other form, meat (2) of any kind or origin (bovine, swine, poultry, fish, buffaloes, filled in natural and/or artificial tripes, and other kinds), in raw (refrigerated or frozen), baked, fried, cured, dried, smoke-dried state or others, originating or not from preparing stages (E), i.e. seasoned or not, which is forwarded to equipment or devices (3) producing calories or rays with appropriate intensity, preferably regulated by PLC, so that, according to the type of meat to be marked, engravings (4) in high or low relief are obtained, which can reproduce logos (L) and further technical information (T) on the surface (S) of said meat (2), enabling its recognition visually and/or by touch, by the consumer.
