Title: Process and apparatus for preparing fat free snack chips
Inventor: SPRECHER PETER
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 1994-01-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing essentially fat free chips such as potato chips without the use of deep fat frying processes. The method of the present invention includes the steps of exposing sliced raw potatoes (12) to a high intensity microwave field that rapidly converts moisture within the slices into steam, and drying the exposed slices to form chips. The apparatus of the present invention includes a meander waveguide (14) with a microwave absorptive terminator (62) at an end of the waveguide (14). Apertures (18) are provided along portions of the waveguide (14) for transporting the potato slices (12) through the waveguide (14). A belt link type conveyor belt (20) having an open lattice structure is employed to convey raw product slices (12) through the meander waveguide (14). Generally each conveyor belt link (70) has a product slice supporting surface configured to define a hump (76) so as to impart a potato chip-like shape to the raw product slices (12) during the high intensity microwave exposure step.

Title: Temperature control of ventilation air
Inventor: MIDDENDORF JOHANN GERHARD
IPC: F24F12/00
Filed: 1995-01-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a device where used ventilation air is used to bring fresh outside air to the desired temperature and next to conveyed ventilated space. For this purpose is made use of heat regenerators which serve with the help of a change-over valve intermittent for heating or cooling of the ventilation air. Characteristic is that the used air by means of heating or cooling by water atomizers is brought to such a temperature that the heat regenerators after the passage of the used air attain the desired temperature. After a cycle change the fresh outside air is brought to the desired temperature by the heat regenerators. A variant of the invention shows the atomizers mounted to the valve where the atomizers turn 180° at the changing of the cycle.

Abstract: A resealable assembly for a container such as a bottle or vial featuring a membrane for selectively opening or sealing a fluid path between the bottle and a medical delivery device introduced into the assembly. The assembly includes a body disposed on said bottle, and a luer connector hub which may be separately provided with the body or formed integrally therewith. The luer connector hub features a connector end open for access by the medical delivery device, and an opposed end which is disposed for fluid communication with the open top of the bottle. A membrane, preferably formed from an elastomeric material, is secured across both the opposed end of the luer connector hub and the open top of the bottle, and may be retained between the top surface of the bottle and the body. The membrane preferably includes a central area sealing the opposed end of the luer connector hub from the open top of the bottle, with one or more fluid openings defined on a portion of the membrane outside of the central area. A force exerted on the central area by the medical delivery devicedeflects the membrane towards the interior of the vial, urging the membrane from sealing contact with the body and, hence, opening the fluid path between the interior of the bottle and the medical delivery device. The central area maydisplay one or more fluid flow channels to facilitate fluid flow between the medical delivery device and the bottle as contact is made between the medical delivery device and the central area of the membrane.  A sealing rib may be provided around a portion of the periphery of the luer connector hub to enhance sealing contact between the membrane and the luer connector hub.
