20100159099 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STEAM-COOKING - Method and apparatus for steam-cooking food products to improve their appearance and decrease yield loss. A steam cooker includes a low-temperature, forced-convection cooking region in series with a high-temperature, steam-impingement cooking region. The food product is conveyed through both regions atop a foraminous conveyor belt. The temperature in the high-temperature cooking region is greater than the temperature in the low-temperature cooking region and less than or equal to 100° C. | 06-24-2010 |
20110237169 | PEELER WITH CROWNED ROLLERS - Roller-type peeling apparatus and crowned rollers in the peeling channels of the peeling apparatus. Each peeling channel includes small-diameter insert rollers frictionally counterrotated by simultaneous contact with two large-diameter, rotating powered rollers separated across a gap. Holddowns at spaced locations along the length of the insert rollers hold the insert roller against the two powered rollers and into the mouth of the gap. The insert roller or the powered rollers are crowned between consecutive holddowns to compensate for the tendency of the insert roller to deflect and to provide uniform contact pressure between the insert roller and the powered rollers along the insert roller's length. | 09-29-2011 |
20140030395 | PRODUCT-SEGREGATING CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR TESTING PRODUCTS PROCESSED IN A PRODUCT TUMBLING APPARATUS - A rigid, foraminous, ball-shaped container for housing products treated in a product-tumbling apparatus.

20140087641 | SHRIMP DEHEADING APPARATUS AND METHODS - Apparatus and methods for deheading shrimp using the Venturi Effect. A shrimp-laden fluid is pumped through a conduit system and lined with one or more venturi tubes. The acceleration of the fluid through the venturis detaches the heads from the shrimp. The cross-sectional areas of the venturis each have a major axis and a shorter minor axis. The major axis is long enough to receive the majority of or all the length of a shrimp and minimize hard collisions with the entrance to the venturi that could damage the shrimp. | 03-27-2014 |

20140168411 | SHRIMP PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHODS - Methods and systems using a vision system to process shrimp. The vision system captures images of samples of shrimps. The processor produces a digital image of the shrimps in the samples. Shrimps exiting a peeler are imaged to determine the number of tail segments in each. The shrimps are classified by the number of intact segments, and quality, yield, and throughput computed from the classification results. The processor can control operational settings of the peeler based on the classification results. In a larger system including other shrimp-processing equipment besides the peeler, other points along the processing path can be imaged by camera or sensed by other sensors to determine processing quality and to make automatic operational adjustments to the equipment. | 06-19-2014 |

20140378783 | SENSOR SYSTEM, IMPLANTABLE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR REMOTE SENSING OF A STIMULUS IN VIVO - A sensor system for sensing a stimulus in vivo includes an implantable sensor. The sensor comprises a passive resonator circuit having a resonant frequency and including at least a pair of generally parallel spirally wound unconnected conductive coils sandwiching a layer of solid dielectric material that manifest a change in property affecting the resonant frequency in response to application of the stimulus to the layer. A resonant frequency of the sensor is modulated by altering the spacing or gap between the coils or altering the overlapping area of the coils. The sensor is energized through application of radiofrequency energy and the responding resonant frequency is detected. The sensor can be advantageously attached to a medical implant to form a practical smart implant for clinical purposes. | 12-25-2014 |

20120084689 | Managing Items in a User Interface - User interface changes related to moving items in a user interface are disclosed. An operation (e.g., a drag operation) can be initiated on selected items by moving a cursor or pointing device in the user interface, and an animation can be presented illustrating representations of the selected items moving from their respective original locations toward a current location of the cursor or pointing device and forming a cluster in proximity to the current location of the cursor or pointing device. As the cluster of items is moved over a container object in the user interface, the representations of the items can adopt the appearance style defined by that container object. The representations of the items can also be shown to depart from the cluster and move toward anticipated locations of the items in the container object as a preview of a drop operation into the container object. | 04-05-2012 |
20130332867 | INPUT DEVICE EVENT PROCESSING - A background thread can be used to process events, e.g., a touch, gesture, pinch, or swipe, that are received on a touch sensitive device, or events, e.g., mouse scroll wheel events that are received on a input device, e.g., a mouse. The background thread can be used to process events when a main thread assigned to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is interrupted. In such situations, the background thread can continue processing events. In cases where the main thread is interrupted and the event is scroll input, the background thread can draw content on the GUI in response to the scroll, so that the response to the scroll input observed by the user is unaffected by the interrupted main thread. By processing events and drawing content using the background thread while the main thread is blocked, the GUI can be navigated without having the user experience a stall or stutter. | 12-12-2013 |
