Abstract: Shrimp processing apparatus to peel shrimp along with methods for peeling shrimp are described herein. The shrimp processing apparatus may be provided in systems including one or more processing stations configured to peel individual shrimp, where peeling may involve removal of shell segments on the dorsal surfaces of the shrimp abdomen and/or removal of pleopods/swimmerets on the ventral surfaces of the shrimp abdomen and, optionally, separation of shell segments. The processing systems and methods may, in one or more embodiments, include apparatus for and methods of measuring the shrimp.

Abstract: The reinforcing material comprises a unidirectional reinforcing web (2) formed of one or a plurality of carbon yarns (3), associated on at least one of its faces, preferably on each of its faces, with a porous polymeric layer (4, 5), the polymeric portion of the reinforcing material representing from 0.5% to 10% of its total weight and preferably from 2% to 6% of its total weight, characterized in that said carbon yarns (3) are individually twisted having a twist from 3 turns/m to 15 turns/m, preferably from 6 turns/m to 12 turns/m, and comprise at least one S-twist yarn and at least one Z-twist yarn, from a selection according to claim 1.

Abstract: A support element for a vehicle seat, the support element including: a shell, a cover mounted on the shell, the cover defining a front surface for receiving a passenger, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, and a padding arranged between the shell and the cover. The cover has a plurality of fastening loops fastened on the rear surface of the cover. The shell has a plurality of through-openings arranged substantially facing the fastening loops, the fastening loops passing through the through-openings and mechanically cooperating with the shell so as to keep the cover rigidly connected to the shell.

Abstract: A device for a laser working system includes at least one optical element, which is arranged in a beam path of the device, and one temperature detector assembly having a matrix of detector elements. The temperature detector assembly is design to measure a two-dimensional temperature distribution of the optical element.
