An improved, continuous process for the production of animal feed supplements is provided. Broadly, the process includes continuous preparation of a preblend including molasses and vegetable fat, followed by continuous cooking of the preblend in an elongated cooking zone. The cooked preblend is then continuously treated for removal of moisture and partial cooling thereof, whereupon dry ingredients (e.g., vitamins and protein sources) are added and the resultant feed supplement is continuously cooled and packaged.

Continuous process for manufacturing animal feed blocks

An apparatus and method for controlling an X-ray generator in order to obtain a relatively constant output window brightness from a directly viewed X-ray image intensifier tube by introducing a small sinusoidal variation to the bias supply of the image intensifier tube and detecting only the resultantly modulated light component output from the phosphor display screen, the error signal thus derived being independent of dark current and power frequency components common to X-ray generated light output of the image intensifier tube.

Automatic brightness control for direct view fluoroscopic imaging systems

An infrared imaging system (thermograph) that electronically forms an optical display of an object as viewed in the infrared portion of the spectrum wherein a given brightness level of the optical image may be set to correspond to a particular object temperature. A reference object (target) within the thermograph is periodically imaged simultaneously with the electronic video circuits being reset to a reference voltage proportional to the absolute temperature of the target. Temperature variations of the target during a period use of the thermograph thus does not affect the brightness level of the optical images, and the optical image brightness becomes a measure of the absolute temperature of the optical image.
