Title: Endless cable system and associated methods
Inventor: KRUYER JAN
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2008-08-06
Abstract: A separation apparatus can include at least one endless cable. The cable can be wrapped around at least two revolvable cylindrical members a plurality of times. The wraps can form gaps between adjacent windings, which, along with the endless cable, can be used to facilitate separations processing. Additionally, the separation apparatus can optionally include a repositioning guide for each multiple wrap endless cable that can guide the endless cable in an endless route and prevent the cable from rolling off or falling off of the cylindrical members.  Separation can be accomplished by oleophilic adherence to the cable, electrostatic adherence to the cable, and/or physical retention on the cable. This endless cable system can be particularly useful for separation of oil sand slurries, mass transfer operations, and physical separations.

Title: Knife blade for producing rough surface french fry strips
Inventor: NEEL ALLEN J
IPC: B27B33/02
Filed: 2007-02-20
Abstract: A knife blade in a fixture is provided for cutting vegetable products particularly such as potatoes, wherein the knife fixture includes a grid of knife blades adapted for producing product strips defined by rough-textured cut surfaces. Each knife blade includes a sharp cutting edge for smooth-surface cutting of products propelled hydraulically through the knife fixture.  Each knife blade further includes opposed side faces each incorporating an array of shallow channels having an upstream end positioned rearward Iy from the associated cutting edge and extending generally in the direction of product travel. These shallow channels disrupt and roughen the cut product surfaces to produce rough-textured cut surfaces. In French fry potato strips, this roughened surface texture results in enhanced surface crispness after frying, or alternately enhances batter pick-up and /or crispness characteristics in a batter-coated French fry product. Enhanced finished product hold time is also achieved.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, software, devices and APIs for defining touch events for application level software.  Furthermore, some embodiments are directed to simplifying the recognition of single and multiple touch events for applications running in multi-touch enabled devices. To simplify the recognition of single and multiple touch events, each view within a particular window can be configured as either a multi-touch view or a single touch view.  Furthermore, each view can be configured as either an exclusive or a non-exclusive view.  Depending on the configuration of a view, touch events in that and other views can be either ignored or recognized. Ignored touches need not be sent to the application. Selectively ignoring touches can allow for simpler software elements that do not take advantage of advanced multi touch features to be executed at the same device and time as more complex software elements.
