20100075013 | Point of Sale Method and Apparatus for Making and Dispensing Aerated Frozen Food Products - An apparatus for making and dispensing frozen aerated products includes a rotating horizontal freeze plate with an upper surface for receiving a chilled aerated mix. The chilled aerated mix includes, in one embodiment, ice cream base that has been sufficiently aerated, and flavor. The horizontal freeze plate rotates about its central axis. The apparatus also includes a spreader body for distributing the chilled aerated mix on the rotating freeze plate. The spreader body extends radially across at least a portion of the upper surface of the freeze plate. The apparatus further includes a scraper for scraping frozen aerated mix off of the rotating freeze plate. The scraper includes a scraper blade with a leading edge that extends radially across the portion of the freeze plate and that engages the upper surface of the freeze plate. The scraper blade is directed opposite the direction of rotation of the freeze plate. The scraper further includes a body that forms an elongated semi-cylindrical channel above the scraper blade that extends radially above the freeze plate for the collection of scraped, frozen and aerated mix. The apparatus also includes a plow for pushing the scraped, frozen and aerated mix through the channel towards a cup held by a cup lifter disposed at an end of the channel. The action of the plow pushes the scraped frozen aerated mix through the channel and into the cup resulting in a generally round scoop of scraped frozen aerated mix in the cup that resembles a serving scoop experienced at a traditional ice cream shop. | 03-25-2010 |

20100187303 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER IDENTIFICATION STRING GENERATION FOR SELECTION OF A FUNCTION - Systems and methods for the generation of user identification strings (UIS) used with multi-function operation vehicles are provided. In some embodiments, a system for activating a user operation vehicle can include an activation portal, a verifier and a UIS generator. The activation portal can request a base UIS and a vehicle code identifying a user operation vehicle be supplied by a user. Then, using an encryptor and a communications module, the activation portal can generate an encrypted base UIS and communicate the encrypted base UIS and the vehicle code to the verifier. The verifier can then authenticate the user and identify functions that are linked to the user operation vehicle. The UIS generator can include a decryptor and a UIS generation module to generate a unique account-specific UIS from the encrypted base UIS for each account linked to the user operation vehicle by modifying the base UIS. | 07-29-2010 |

A UIS is first requested from the user at a POI. According to some embodiments, the user enters a modified UIS (MUIS) at the POI. The MUIS can include a UIS along with a user code. An authorization request is then created by the POI device, wherein the request can include information such as, but not limited to, a vehicle code, the MUIS, POI location identifier, function deduction amounts, and/or the like. An action (e.g. rounding sweep, linking a function to the user operation vehicle, etc.) associated with the user code, if present, is determined and implemented. An approval or denial of the authorization request is then sent to the POI device after the action has been applied and the request has been processed. | 07-29-2010 |

20090255676 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LATERAL WELL DRILLING WITH BIASED LENGTH ADJUSTING CASING CUTTER - The apparatus and method for drilling through the casing utilizes a yieldable biasing element to provide a self-adjusting length and exerts a predictable, controlled biasing force against the casing cutter for penetrating the casing. The cutter will be suspended from the well head by an element which will stretch to some extent, and the self-adjusting length will compensate for this also. As the cutter is lowered into position, and during the casing cutting operation, a flow of pressurized gas or emulsion can be directed through the down hole unit, to clear cuttings and other solids from the cutter's path. | 10-15-2009 |
20090255732 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LATERAL WELL DRILLING WITH ENHANCED CAPABILITY FOR CLEARING CUTTINGS AND OTHER PARTICLES - Apparatus for clearing particles from a lateral drilling operation in strata beside a well. The drilling apparatus is part of a down hole unit and is configured for extending from a lateral opening of the unit into a lateral passage in the adjacent strata, and the operation of the drilling apparatus discharges particles from the lateral passage toward the lateral opening. The invention deflects or redirects the particles discharged from the lateral passage, away from the lateral opening, to prevent clogging or blocking of an internal passage or elbow through the down hole unit, using a pressurized fluid such as a gas or an emulsion. The pressurized fluid can also be configured for carrying the particles upwardly through the well to the surface, and for reducing or removing a hydrostatic head in the well. | 10-15-2009 |

20150022070 | LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR MULTIPLE DOORS - A self-contained latch module in combination with a pusher and catch (collectively “latch assembly”) allows for the locking of two doors with a single lock. The latch module contains two spring-loaded bolts, one active and one passive. Pushing the active bolt into the latch housing, the passive bolt extends out of the opposite side of the latch housing. Pushing onto the passive bolt in the direction of the latch housing while the active bolt is depressed will allow the passive bolt to retract into the housing without affecting the active bolt on the opposite side. This allows a user to slam closed the associated doors in any order. The self-latching nature of this latch assembly allows for the automatic latching of the cabinet doors without having to manually latch one of the doors before locking the other. In the case of tall wardrobe doors, it is desirable to install two latch assemblies; one at the top and another at the bottom, with the lock installed in the center position of the door, thereby preventing the prying of the doors. The latch assembly is mountable at the top and/or bottom of a cabinet or wardrobe, and is field retrofitable. | 01-22-2015 |
