Title: Refrigerator mullion
Inventor: DANG MUC
IPC: F25D23/08
Filed: 2001-02-27
Abstract: A mullion assembly for a refrigerator cabinet has a pair of adjacent edge wall insulating gasket members extending toward the open side of the cabinet. The edge wall members each have a forward surface extending flush to the open side for supporting a portion of a door sealing gasket and a recessed channel extending rearwardly of the open side.      One of the edge wall members has a locating flange member with an edge portion extending toward the other one of the edge wall members. A metallic mullion bar extends between the pair of edge wall members and has a flat wall portion against which seals another portion of the door sealing gasket carrying a magnet. The mullion bar has rearwardly extending flanges extending into and supported by a respective one of the recessed channels of the edge wall members. A block of fiberglass insulation is mounted rearwardly of the metallic mullion bar within the space between the interior cavities. The insulation member is held in engagement by and between the pair of edge wall members by the locating flange member edge portion urging the insulation member against the other edge wall member. This assembly has reduced thermal transfer from outside ambient to the interior cavity of the cabinet through the metallic mullion bar.

Title: Chocolate-based fat system having improved organoleptic properties
Inventor: MILLER VAN
IPC: A23G1/00
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: An edible anhydrous chocolate-based fat system is provided, having a significant granulated sugar component. This provides an unusual mouth sense, and allows for significantly different organoleptic properties of the chocolate-based fat system - which otherwise emulates chocolate. The chocolate may be light or dark, or white chocolate. An additional sweet flavor may be added to the chocolate-based fat system, allowing for a faster release of the additional flavor, by infusing or saturating the granulated sugar component of the fat system with the additional flavor. Typically, the granulated sugar component is saturated with an essential oil of a chosen flavor. Apart from the granulated sugar component, the remaining ingredients of the chocolate-based fat system are conched in the usual manner in keeping with chocolate production techniques. A process for production of the edible anhydrous chocolate-based fat system is discussed, and typical machinery for carrying out that process is shown.

Patent CA-2361087-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for modifying the tension of a canvas
Inventor: RUSSELL MARK D
IPC: B44D3/18
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: A method includes steps for modifying tensile stresses in an unpainted canvas that is mounted on a frame under applied tensile stresses. The canvas is formed of material that can undergo heat-shrinking when at or above a thermoplastic shrinking temperature, and can undergo heat-softening when at or above a thermoplastic softening temperature. The method includes heating the canvas to a temperature at or above the thermoplastic shrinking temperature and the thermoplastic softening temperature. The method further includes maintaining the canvas at a temperature at or above the thermoplastic shrinking and softening temperatures. This induces heat-shrinking, and thereby increases the tensile stresses in any portions of the canvas in which the applied tensile stresses are less than the opposing dresses of the heat-shrinking. This also induces heat-softening, and thereby decreases the tensile stresses in any portions of the canvas in which the applied tensile stresses are greater than the opposing stresses of the heat-shrinking. The method further includes subsequently cooling the canvas to a temperature below the thermoplastic shrinking and softening temperatures, whereby the canvas becomes set in a condition of modified tensile stresses.
