Racking, often referred to as Soutirage or Soutirage traditionnel (meaning racking in French), also filtering or fining, is a method in wine production of moving wine from one barrel to another using gravity rather than a pump, which can be disruptive to a wine. The process is also known as Abstich in German and travaso in Italian.

Hydroponic growing enclosure and method for the fabrication of animal feed grass from seed

A self-contained hydroponic growing enclosure and method for the fabrication of animal feed grass from seed is described. The enclosure is a self-contained enclosure which is insulated and which can be transported or assembled on site and which is independent of outside climatic conditions. Seed is stored in an isolated portion of the enclosure and fed to germination tanks in predetermined quantities where the seeds are germinated for a predetermined period of time. The tanks are then drained of their iodine-treated water and the germinated seeds are placed in predetermined quantities onto trays which are placed at an inlet end of a racking system. Trays are removed with grown grass at a harvest outlet end of the racking system in the same sequence as they are placed at the inlet end, so that there is a continuous daily supply of feed grass. Light walls are provided on opposed sides of the racking system to illuminate the beds. Conditioned air is also convected through the racking system from the inlet end to the outlet harvest end and the air flow distributes carbon dioxide generated in an inlet end section by the germinating seed grain, over the entire growing beds. The beds are also sprayed with water and the air flow is reconditioned by an air conditioning unit, filtered to remove bacteria and recirculated through the racking system. More specifically, the production system uses feed-quality barley for growing in tray beds to produce approximately 2,200 pounds of feed grass per day in a 7-day cycle from seed to feed.

Pipe racking system

The pipe racking system is designed to handle drilling tubulars (primarily drill pipe and drill collars) between the racked or setback position and the well center. The racking system can mechanically grasp a stand of pipe, lift the pipe sufficient for free movement, and deliver the pipe to either the setback area for storage or to well center to be added to the drilling string. The purpose of this newly developed system is to move pipe safely and efficiently in the vertical position for drilling operations. Together with the use of its mechanized fingerboard, the system automates the process of handling and storing pipe vertically, thus eliminating the need for a worker at the racking board level. The system is capable of being installed within the masts of smaller rigs and may remain installed in the mast during rig moves thus minimizing any disassembly for rig-down.

Device for producing small batches of coffee from liquid coffee concentrate

A device for brewing batches, such as, but not limited to, relatively small one or two cup batches, of coffee from water and liquid coffee concentrate, preferably shelf stable. The size of the device, preferably similar to an automatic drip coffee maker, allows the device to be conveniently utilized in the home, an office, a hotel suite, or hospitality area or the like. The device includes a metered volumetric mix valve assembly that, when activated, admits simultaneously or sequentially a finite volume of water and liquid concentrate to a mixing chamber or conduit where they are mixed and then dispensed to a container such as a carafe, cup, mug or the like. Mixing can take place in one or more of the mixing chamber or conduit and the container in which the water and concentrate are dispensed. In this manner, repeatable beverage solutions are obtained. Advantageously, the device is constructed so that the liquid concentrate flows gravimetrically to the volumetric mix valve assembly, and a costly concentrate pump is not necessary. The device can be sealed so that theft of the coffee concentrate can be prevented.

Determination method of composite material II-type cracking threshold value and S-N curve

The invention relates to a determination method of composite material fatigue performance, and particularly relates to determination of a composite material II-type cracking threshold value. The method adopts an end-notched flexure (ENF) sample under constant-load and increasing-K control, and is carried out at several stress levels. In the test process, the racking length a, the sample deflection value [delta]max, and the corresponding load cycle number N are recorded at regular intervals. An a-N curve of the sample is obtained by double-growth exponential function fitting, and da / dN-[delta]GII scatter diagrams are further obtained; da / dN-[delta]GII scatter diagrams at different stress levels are superposed and fitted to obtain a full-range crack growth da / dN-[delta]GII curve, so as to obtain the cracking threshold value. Since the maximum stress between layers are constant at the same stress level group, the test can also be used for determining a fatigue S-N curve. When compared with G-decreasing methods under load control, the determination method is simple in operation, and obtains more information on material fatigue performance.

Upright support configuration for a pallet racking system

The present invention relates to an upright reinforcing assembly for use with a pallet racking system, and racking system incorporating the same. The support configuration consists of an upright support and attached a bracket containing two L-shaped platforms which form a pocket. The upright support configuration is placed between two frame assemblies to support the beam, which is held in the pocket created by the bracket, thereby providing additional support to the beam and preventing rotation, bowing or distortion of the beam. Such a configuration lowers the cost of pallet racking as lower capacity beams can be used, or otherwise less frame assemblies are required in the racking.

The racking grid is inserted into a metal tray, and the tray is inserted into the oven of a household range. The oven is preheated, prior to inserting the tray and its contents. Subsequently, the oven is maintained at a low temperature, about 200°, and the door of the oven is held open, slightly, to allow moisture to escape. Each basket comprises a first grate and a second grate, retained in pivotal relation by a pair of hinge clips. Tension springs, secured to an anchor on one grate and an extension on the other grate, urge the grates togther to form a basket and retain the jerky therebetween during the dehydration process. Receptacles at the trailing edge of one grate slip over upstanding pins on the racking grid and lock each basket in its vertical orientation. A form may be used to mold the jerky into a patty or square, of desired dimensions, prior to inserting same into the basket.
