Abstract: An Internet access device (100) uses an automatic configuration process (600) to handle the task of configuring the Internet access device at a customer site for communication with the Internet (10).      Once configured, the customer has electronic mail and other access to the Internet from his local area network. A not yet configured Internet access device is shipped directly to a customer without having to be manually configured first. The customer enters a registration identification number (326) and a telephone number onto the Internet access device. The Internet access device then automatically connects to the Internet, downloads configuration data from a configuration server (410) containing customer site specific configuration data, and then automatically configures itself for communication with the Internet. The Internet access device is simple to install for a customer and provides valuable features such as a router (240), firewall, e-mail gateway (212), web server (220), and other servers (222). The Internet access device initially connects to the Internet through an Internet service provider (14) over a standard analog telephone line using a standard modem (52) and using a dynamic IP address.      Once automatically configured, the Internet access device may then communicate with the Internet using any suitable connection including an analog telephone line, or a higher-speed line such as an ISDN line or a frame relay circuit and is assigned a static IP address and a range of IP addresses for other devices on its local area network.

Title: Improved chocolate refining process
Inventor: HELMREICH ANDREAS VALENTIN
IPC: A23G1/12
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: An improved chocolate manufacturing and/or refining process is provided. This process allows chocolate refining at a significantly increased throughput rate while maintaining the particle size distribution at the desired level. Thus, the production rates of existing or newly designed chocolate-making processes can be increased significantly. High shear is applied to the chocolate mass during the later stages of refining and before conching. Generally, this high shear is in the range of about 200,000 to about 1,000,000 sec~1. By significantly increasing the shear rate in the later stages of the refining process, the throughput of refining process, and thus the overall chocolate manufacturing process, can be significantly increased without significantly increasing the particle size of the chocolate mass entering the conching step.
