Title: Mozzarella cheese: moisture and milkfat controlled to dispense with aging
Inventor: BARZ RICHARD LEE
IPC: A23C19/068
Filed: 1991-10-04
Abstract: In the manufacture of mozzarella cheese, aging can be dispensed with if the process is controlled to yield a combined moisture and wet milkfat content of at least about 70 weight percent, and the cheese will provide acceptable bake performance under typical cooking conditions used in the pizza industry today. Within about 48 hours after brining, the cheese should either be used or frozen. This discovery saves at least seven days of aging and permits the use of a continuous process of making mozzarella, which, from pasteurization to loading of the frozen product on the truck, can be performed in as little time as eight hours. In the continuous process, the hot stretched cheese from the kneading machine is extruded directly into cold brine. After the cheese has cooled sufficiently, it can be comminuted and frozen by independent quick freezing, preferably in a fluidized bed freezer. Salt preferably is mixed into the cheese during the kneading step.

Title: Method for removing oil from drill cuttings by gasifying the oil in a chamber in which the particles circulate in a turbulent compact band
Inventor: ATKINS MARTIN PHILIP
IPC: B09C1/06
Filed: 1994-12-19
Abstract: Organic contaminants of solid particles, especially oil in drill cuttings, are removed by passing the contaminated particles into a processing chamber (1), usually having an inert atmosphere, generating a circumferentially directed flow of fluid within the chamber (1) to cause the particles to circulate in the chamber (1) in a turbulent compact band, converting the organic contaminants into a gaseous material and removing particles substantially free from organic contaminants from the chamber (1). Preferably the gaseous material is cooled in one or especially two stages to separate high boiling organic liquids first and water and other organic liquids second.

Title: System for allowing I/O processor to operate under different transfer algorithms
Inventor: BLUMER MARC
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: A programmable DMA controller (110) that uses an instruction set dedicated to moving data efficiently over a bus (108), comprises a program memory (228), a program counter (226), a FIFO memory (222), a bus buffer (224), registers, an accumulator, and an ALU (220).  The DMA controller instruction set comprises the following instructions: load, move, add, subtract, branch on zero, branch on not zero, lock, and interrupt. Another DMA controller embodiment uses a SIMD processor.  In operation, a CPU downloads DMA programs to the DMA controller.  The DMA controller stores these programs in its program memory. The CPU signals the DMA to begin a DMA transfer operation.  The ALU and associated devices execute the program instructions to perform the desired DMA transfer.  The DMA controller then sends an interrupt to the CPU to indicate the DMA transfer is complete.

Title: Automated private numbering plan provisioning
Inventor: DUMONT JIM
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: A method in a telecommunications network having a configuration management system, of automatically populating a Private Numbering Plan (PNP) subscription with PNP data. The method begins by defining a group comprising a plurality of members who subscribe to a PNP service (32), and automatically generating the PNP data for each of the plurality of group members when the group is defined (34). The PNP data may be generated by service management application software in the configuration management system. The PNP data may include an abbreviated number for each of the plurality of group members. The abbreviated numbers may be generated by several methods including incremental number generation (37), random number generation (39), or by extracting the last "X" digits of each group member's telephone number (42). The method then determines whether each generated abbreviated number is valid and unique. A network operator may override an automatically generated number by manually inputting an abbreviated number, which is valid and unique.
