Title: Smokeless vent system for a cooking appliance
Inventor: HARING STEVEN M
IPC: A21B3/04
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an exhaust system that substantially eliminates potential smoke generating byproducts carried by oven gases. The cooking appliance includes an oven cavity having a top wall including a recessed portion within which is mounted a broil element. A plurality of openings are formed in the recessed portion that allow exhaust gases to pass into a smoke elimination chamber. Heat generated by the broil element and in the smoke elimination chamber removes substantially all combustion byproducts contained in the exhaust gases. To further remove combustion byproducts, the exhaust gases are passed through a ceramic catalyst prior to being directed into a vent duct. From the vent duct, the exhaust gasses are directed past a blower into an exhaust duct that, ultimately, guides the exhaust gases from the appliance.

Title: Gentle-acting skin-disinfectants and hydroalcoholic gel formulations
Inventor: SAMPATH LESTER
IPC: A61K8/43
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: Antimicrobial compositions having synergistic combinations of octoxyglycerin and at least one other antimicrobial agent in formulations which are more effective than prior art compositions without causing increased irritation t o the skin of the average user. In certain embodiments, skin irritation may be minimized by low concentrations of antimicrobials and/or the presence of soothing compounds such as zinc. Preferred embodiments include combinations of octoxyglycerin, a quaternary compound, and at least one other antimicrobial agent. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is hypothesized that the unexpected antimicrobial effectiveness of combinations of octoxyglycerin may result from an enhancement of the permeability of microbes to antimicrobials caused by octoxyglycerin. Hydroalcoholic gel composition containing alcohol, water, hydrogel, and emollient or emulsifier, wherein th e composition has a viscosity of below 2000 centipoises at between 20 and 40 ~ C. This skin-friendly hydroalcoholic gel composition, which can be further combined with silicone polymer, emollient solvent, thickening agent and antimicrobial agent, enhances rapid and long-term antimicrobial efficacy.</S DOAB>

Patent CA-2475743-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YAO CHI-YANG
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: A rice ball structure in which after pliable dried meat is conveniently wrapped around differently shaped rice balls, since the dried meat is not readily affected by ambient humid conditions and moisture absorption, or when unpackaged for eating, the dried meat does not become soft and soggy as easily as sea moss, but is capable of convenient and simple extended shelf life, warehousing, and storage that involves no additional difficulty. As the dried meat is not susceptible to moisture which prevents softening and sogginess and, furthermore, for culinary enjoyment, a variety of animal and vegetable ingredients can be selectively added during processing to thereby integrate a range of different flavors to further enhance taste while eaten.    Additionally, the dried meat does not stick to the hands when grasped which eliminates the trouble of having to wash up afterwards. Since the dried meat is unaffected by moisture and does not become soft or soggy, the original shape of the rice ball is maintained and does not deform, thereby preserving its original attractive appearance.

Title: Burner ignition and control system
Inventor: MACNUTT ROB
IPC: F23N5/26
Filed: 2004-11-29
Abstract: A battery powered ignition and control system for a gas burner includes circuits for controlling a pilot burner, a main burner, a flame sensor and an igniter. Mechanically latched valves, which require power only to switch between and open and closed state are used to control the pilot and main gas. The circuitry spends a majority of time in a powered down state and draws power only when required to interrogate the state of the flame and to perform an ignition sequence as required, as periodically dictated by a watchdog system. The latching valves are electrically pulsed to change state and thus draw very low average power when called upon. Lithium batteries provide system power for a long duration.
