Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for processing meat, in particular fish, comprising a processing tool, an actuating unit associated with the processing tool for moving the processing tool out of a starting position into a processing position and vice versa, and a control device which is operatively connected to the processing tool or actuating unit for control of the processing tool, which is distinguished in that the actuating unit comprises a cylinder unit having two pressure cylinders which are arranged one behind the other and connected to each other, wherein the processing tool is arranged on one of the two pressure cylinders of the cylinder unit and the two pressure cylinders can be controlled independently of each other. Furthermore, the invention concerns a corresponding method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for trimming the surface of meat, in particular fish fillets, comprising a transporting element by means of which the products which are to be processed are conveyed continuously in the transporting direction T into the region of a knife head, also comprising an element for detecting the position of the products, as well as a knife head for trimming the products and a means of controlling the movement of the knife head in dependence on the information and data determined by the position-detecting element, the device being distinguished in that the knife head is designed for automatically executing free trimming cuts along the surface contour of the products. The invention also relates to an apparatus for processing meat using a device mentioned above, and to a corresponding surface-trimming method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the automated processing of meat. Known devices comprise a transport element, a cutting element, a bearing layer for the cutting element, and at least one control and/or regulating device that is actively connected to the cutting element. According to known devices and methods, the meat is displaced onto or towards the bearing layer, before being cut and/or trimmed. Often, this leads to an accumulation of meat, interrupting the processing operation. The inventive threading element reliably ensures that the meat is lifted up before reaching the bearing layer and is guided onto the same.

Abstract: A method for gutting beheaded and non-beheaded fish, and in particular farmed fish, uses a circular blade with a guide gouge for opening the abdominal cavity. Then, the entrails are aspirated and extracted separately from the aspirating and extracting of the blood and water. Separate suction pipes connected to separate collecting receptacles are used for aspirating and extracting the entrails and the blood and water, respectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gutting beheaded and non-beheaded fish, particularly cultivated fish, and to a device for implementing this method. In conventional devices, all tools used for gutting are connected to a central vacuum unit. Entrails, blood and water are separated from the air flow in a cyclone and are continuously removed therefrom. As a result, entrails, blood and water form a mushy mixture whereby jeopardizing the possibility of a subsequent utilization. According to the inventive method and to a device for implementing the same, the means for intaking or extracting the entrails, on the one hand, and the means for intaking or extracting the blood and the water, on the other, are connected to separate collecting containers via separate lines. The separation of individual constituents assures the subsequent utilization, particularly of the entrails.

Abstract: Sorption agent and method for removing heavy metals from a gas containing heavy metal(s), with which a better removal rate of heavy metals from gases containing heavy metal(s) is made possible, and which can also be used in a broad temperature range. This is achieved in that the sorption agent contains at least one solid, which is a carrier material onto which at least one polysulfide is fixed and, in the case of the method, in which the gas containing heavy metal(s) is brought into contact with a sorption agent. A sorption agent is used that contains at least one solid, which is a carrier material onto which at least one polysulfide is fixed.

Abstract: A method for the automatic comparison of at least two different application protocols is described in which actions triggered in a database are logged in a first application protocol of at least one first program, and in which actions triggered on a database are logged in a second application protocol of at least one second program group. A hardware independent analysis of the performance of programs groups is thus made possible, that during logging at least page requests from a data management layer to a memory management layer are logged, and that at least one part of the page requests logged in the first application protocol are compared to at least one part of the page requests logged in the second application protocol.

Abstract: A method of comparing two source files containing database queries is described in which the database queries are ascertained from the two source files and in which the ascertained database queries from a first source file are compared with the ascertained database queries of a second source file. A quick and efficient analysis of different program versions is achieved by ascertaining the syntax of each database query with the help of a syntax analysis, by comparing the syntax of the database queries of the source files with one another and by presenting the results of the comparison.

Abstract: Mortars and plasters containing additives which are alcohols having from 8 to 72 carbon atoms adsorbed on solid supports, and processes for the preparation of the additives.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an apparatus for gutting fish which serves for preventing flaws that reduce the quality e.g., colon and blood residues or damage to the walls of the abdominal cavity, and for attaining a highly aesthetic product. The invention proposes that the rectum is initially supported by inserting an element through the anus in order to separate the rectum within the region of the anus, and that the lateral and dorsal connections between the rectum and the abdominal walls are subsequently separated.
