Abstract: A process for producing a frozen fat-free chopped and formed potato product. The process entails peeling potatoes, cutting the peeled potatoes into potato pieces, and blanching the cut pieces. The cut pieces are then partially blended to produce a mixture of potato bits and paste. A hydrocolloid fat substitute, such as a cultured skim milk powder stabilized with additional hydrocolloids, is introduced to the partially blended potato mixture, preferably at a level of 2 to 5% by weight. The potato pieces and hydrocolloid fat substitute are then further blended, and are then extruded into a formed fat substituted potato product. The formed potato product is then dusted with a wheat flour, precaramelized saccharide, annatto, and seasoning powder composition. The dusted formed fat substituted potato product is then prebaked to form a crust on the product, which subsequently may be frozen and packaged for storage, transport and sale. The product may then be baked to produce a fat-free product having good organoleptic properties, a crisp crust, and exterior flavor and texture that are similar to conventional fat-containing chopped and formed potato product.

Title: Multi-component recovery apparatus and method
Inventor: FINLEY STEVEN J
IPC: B01D8/00
Filed: 1998-07-23
Granted: 2001-10-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for recovering one or more components from the vapor feed in which the component is recovered from the vapor feed at a lower pressure within a lower pressure cold trap. Thereafter, a higher pressure cold trap is connected to the lower pressure cold trap and the component revaporizes in the lower pressure cold trap and resolidifies in the higher pressure cold trap. The higher pressure cold trap is then isolated and the component is allowed to thaw to build up a vapor pressure such that the component can be delivered for recovery at a high pressure. Two or more components having higher and lower boiling points can be recovered by low pressure cold traps set in series. Low pressure cold traps can be provided to operate in an out of phase relationship so that components are frozen on one set of lower pressure cold traps while being vaporized from the other set of cold traps. In the case of two component recovery, two high pressure cold traps are provided to allow two components to vaporize and thus develop a sufficient vapor pressure to be delivered at the requisite delivery pressure.

Abstract: An L-seal patch bag has an open top, a bottom seal, a seal along a first side edge, and a patch covering a seamless second side edge. The bag is preferably made by adhering, at intervals and across a continuous flat film, a plurality of discrete film patches. Each of the patches covers a centerline naming the length of the elongate flat film. The resulting laminated article is then folded along its length, preferably at the centerline, making a first seal by sealing the elongate flat film to itself by sealing along a first (open, non-seamless) side edge of the elongate flat film. A second seal is then made by sealing across an entirety of the folded, laminated article, which is thereafter cut across below the second seal, whereby an L-seal patch bag is produced. Analogous processes can be used to produce a side-seal patch bag or a backseamed patch bag. Still another process of making a side-seal patch bag involves folding the elongate flat film transversely before sealing along the side edges and cutting the resulting side-seal bag from the remainder of the elongate flat film.

Abstract: A scalable high performance ATM cell/packet switch (HiPAS) element for a shared memory switch fabric application. The switch clement includes a PAC Bus (Packet/ATM Cell Bus) and the Switch Fabric Controller Bus (SC Bus). The HiPAS switch element receives and transmits the ATM cells/packets through the PAC      Bus. The PAC Bus provides independent parallel datapaths for the receive port and transmit port. The PAC Bus provides a unique structural feature to the HiPAS switch element and allows expansion to the switch capacity in a manner similar to a bit-slice processor. Multiple number of HiPAS switch elements can be concatenated to expand the capacity. In the concatenated configuration, the datapaths of the receive port and transmit port are interleaved so that the interconnection remains point-to-point. As the result, all of the switch ports in the switch execute the cell transactions concurrently on the PAC Bus. In addition, each switch fabric port has a dedicated serial port to exchange status information between the switch fabric and the switch port adapter.

Title: Implantable surgical marker
Inventor: BOEHM MICHAEL E
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 1999-06-23
Granted: 2007-12-18
Abstract: An implantable marker for implantation in tissue of a surgical patient is disclosed. The marker has a base and an elevated bridge. A pair of legs descend from first and second transitions of the bridge. Each leg has a distal tip, a generally straight leg arm adjacent the tip, and a camming marker surface between the transitions of the base and the straight leg arm. The camming marker surfaces extend outwardly from the straight leg arms of the legs. In its open configuration, the first and second straight leg arms of the legs of the marker are generally parallel to each other. In its closed configuration, the first and second straight leg arms converge towards each other, and a marker apex is formed at the distal tips of the legs. The marker is particularly adapted for fixation in tissue to mark the site of a lesion or other abnormal tissue which may be removed during a biopsy procedure, for example a breast biopsy procedure. Advantageously, the camming marker surfaces of the legs of the marker facilitate the ability to form the marker upon pushing the marker distally into the tissue, thus insuring deep penetration of the marker and the grasping of a sufficient amount of tissue to securely fix the marker to the tissue.

Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: A radio communication system (100) implements a frequency reuse plan by sending a message (308) simultaneously with other messages in a plurality of cell clusters (202-208) utilizing the frequency reuse plan, which provides a message carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) sufficient for reception of the message when a receiver ( 104) is adjusted in accordance with a periodically transmitted pilot symbol (402-408). The C/I is smaller than preferred for reception of the pilot symbol. The pilot symbol is periodically transmitting simultaneously with other pilot symbols in a time diverse manner such that pilot symbol transmissions for adjacent ones of the plurality of cell clusters occur in non-overlapping time slots, thereby generating the larger C/I preferred for reception of the pilot symbol. The pilot symbol and the message are received by the receiver, and the receiver is adjusted in accordance with the pilot symbol to demodulate the message.
