Abstract: A ball valve (10) includes a body (A) having a passageway (12) extending therethrough with a ball member (B) disposed in the passageway and mounted for selective rotation between valve open and valve closed positions to control fluid flow through the valve. A pair of flange grooves are provided in the body on opposite sides of the ball, each flange groove extending radially from the passageway. A pair of seat rings (16) are disposed in the passageway on opposite sides of the ball. Each seat ring has a first sealing surface (24) in contact with an outer surface of the ball and a radially extending annular flange or tab (30) received in an associated one of the flange grooves (34). The seat design further includes a pair of annular flange seals (18, 20) each disposed in a respective one of the flange grooves. The seat material is preferably made of a relatively harder and stiffer material compared to PTFE, such a PEEK. The seat configuration achieves a cantilever effect to improve the temperature and pressure cycling performance of the valve. The flange seals are energized and made of an elastomer material or other suitable flexible seal materials having spring-like characteristics.

Abstract: In a process to prepare a culinary dish e.g. a pizza or potato gratinate base (80) with a topping (52) , the topping mass (52) is first spread out to the required thickness and dimensions on a suitable surface and deep frozen. Prior to serving, the frozen topping mass (52) is positioned on the base (80) and heated to a temperature at which the molten topping intermingles with the base (80) surface. In a process to make pizza on an industrial scale a sauce is prepared at a relatively high temperature and further solid non temperature-sensitive ingredients such as meat and vegetable are introduced and cooked as required at that temperature. The sauce is then allowed to cool and further temperature-sensitive ingredients such as cheese are introduced. The sauce and admixed contents are then dosed into suitable forms and allowed to take on a flat shape prior to freezing. The frozen topping layers are packed into cartons and a thermally-insulated container for frozen storage or dispatch in delivery vehicles with temperature-controlled interior.

Abstract: A data representation language representation of the state of a process executing on a client or service in a distributed computing environment may be created. The representation may include a computation state of the device and/or virtual machine on which the process is executing, wherein the computation state of the device and/or virtual machine comprises information about the execution state of the process on the device and/or virtual machine. A process state may include, but is not limited to: threads, all objects referenced by the threads, transient variables created during the execution of the process, objects and their data, etc. In one embodiment, data describing one or more leases representing grants of access to external services, obtained from spaces by the process, may also be stored with the process state. The data representation language representation of the state of a process may be moved from node to node within the distributed computing environment. The representation of the state of a process may also be stored as a data representation language object in a store mechanism, and later retrieved from the store mechanism to resume the process execution on the same node or on a different node in the distributed computing environment. In one embodiment, an object compilation/decompilation process may be used in creating the representation of the state of a process and in regenerating the state of the process by decompiling the representation of the state of the process.

Abstract: A generally rectangular base supports a pair of gateways at two corners thereof and a pair of resiliently powered impact-responsive rebounders at the remaining two corners thereof. A flat surface extends between the rebounders and the gateways. A pair of toy vehicle launchers and track segments are operatively coupled to each of the gateways to launch toy vehicles therethrough. A plurality of elastic bands extend between the gateways to provide resilient boundaries for the rectangular base. The rebounders and the gateways include pivotal supports allowing the track segments and launchers as well as the rebounders to be pivoted for aiming purposes. A toy vehicle launched by a launcher traverses its track segment and enters its gateway. Thereafter, it strikes either a resilient boundary or a rebounder and is deflected accordingly. An additional toy vehicle launched from the second launcher may collide with or otherwise interact with the first launched toy vehicle.
