20100015312	MODIFIED SLICING SHOES AND METHOD FOR MAKING FOOD PRODUCT SHAVINGS - Modified slicing shoes and method for making food product shavings. A conventional slicing shoe for insertion into a slicing head assembly used in conjunction with a centrifugal type slicing machine is modified. The modified slicing shoes comprise a cutting edge having top and bottom ends that protrude towards the interior of a slicing head assembly as a vertex protrudes away from the interior such that the blade is not confined to one plane. In one embodiment, the slicing shoe blade cutting edge and its components comprise a V-shape having an angle that ranges from between about 90° to about 140°. In a second embodiment, the slicing shoe and its components are curvilinear having a curvature ranging from about 1.5 cm to about 2.0 cm. The shape of the blade and its corresponding components allow for the production of snack chips having folded or curled shapes.	01-21-2010

20100009083	CHROMIUM-FREE CONVERSION COATING - A chromium-free conversion coating is prepared by the addition of inorganic salts to dispersions of conducting polymers which are then exposed to alloys of aluminum or other metals. Advantageously, the performance of the coating is comparable to that of known Cr (chromium)-based methods for a number of aluminum alloys having particular significance in the manufacture of aircraft.	01-14-2010
