Abstract: A sea-going vessel has mounted on its deck a clam processing plant which includes in sequence a steamer, a clam crusher, a seawater washer, a brine separator, an eviscerator and a chill tank. Special valves are constructed to feed and discharge clams from the steamer which prevents the hot high pressure steam in the steamer from being discharged when the valves are open to the steamer interior. The chill tank includes a special construction to minimize the effects of pitch and roll of the deck while the ship is at sea.

Abstract: The invention comprises an adhesive composition and accompanying coated substrate, such as prepasted wallpaper. The composition is formed from a low viscosity, wall in oil emulsion which comprises a mixture of at least two emulsions of substantially linear, water soluble, high molecular weight cationic and anionic polymers; the anionic polymers comprising monomers selected from anionic monomers and mixtures of anionic monomers with non-ionic monomers and the cationic polymers comprising monomers selected from cationic monomers and mixtures of cationic monomers with non-ionic monomers.The adhesive composition and the coated substrates exhibit excellent qualities, particularly an improved resistance to excess water absorption during usage.

Abstract: The invention is a novel Soderberg electrode paste composition. The composition is a mixture comprising carbonaceous aggregate, novolac resin binder, plasticizer and optionally hexamethylenetetramine. The novolac resin of the binder has a melting point of at least 100.degree. C. and a free phenol content of not more than 4% by weight based on the weight of novolac resin solids. The residual coking value of the composition of the invention is at least as great as the minimum preferred coking value of traditional Soderberg pastes which are based on coal tar pitch binder.

Abstract: A flexible, generally tubular, three-surface, single-pleated, microwave-penetrable package for use in cooking popcorn. Two transverse seals and one lengthwise-extending seam seal the package. Venting means releases accumulated steam produced by the popping corn and the package maintains its expanded structure even after venting has commenced. A convenient means of opening the package is also provided.

Abstract: A shelf-stable aseptic dairy product and process for preparing the same are disclosed. The product comprises dairy ingredients, an added monoglyceride emulsifier, sodium alginate stabilizer and other optional ingredients. The process comprises (a) heating dairy ingredients to above about 60.degree. C.; (b) combining heated dairy ingredients, added emulsifier, sodium alginate stabilizer, and other optional ingredients; (c) performing an ultra-high temperature treatment; (d) cooling; (e) homogenizing to produce a stable and uniform emulsion; and (f) further cooling and packaging the resulting cooled emulsion in an aseptic container under aseptic conditions. A shelf-stable aseptic packaged product prepared according to the disclosed process is also disclosed. The product is shelf-stable for several months and is capable of forming a stable foam upon whipping.

Abstract: An adhesive paste for adhering two or more objects, a composite assembly comprising two or more elements bonded by such paste, and a process for preparing cast metal articles using such paste are provided. The adhesive paste comprises an aqueous solution of a specific alkali phenol-formaldehyde resin and a hardener for that resin, wherein the paste prepared by mixing the resin and hardener has a viscosity, as mixed, in the range of about 1,000 cps to about 15,000 cps. The composite assembly comprises at least two separate elements bonded by the adhesive paste of the invention. The process uses a mold or core assembly having at least two separate elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a curable aldehyde resin and starch composition useful as a saturant and laminating adhesive for paperboard products, including dual arch corrugated cardboard. The aldehyde resin to starch ratio is from approximately 7:5 to 5:1 by weight. By the present invention is produced corrugated paperboard which has substantially improved crush strength over that obtained with polyvinyl acetate adhesives, and higher moisture resistance than either polyvinyl acetate or starch adhesives.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing shelf-stable aseptically packaged calcium-fortified milk. The aseptically packaged fortified milk is not only characterized by minimal settling of the calcium source, acceptable flavor and acceptable viscosity and mouth feel, but also dairy-case stability and grocery-shelf stability for much more than two weeks. The fortified milk may contain up to 100% of the USRDA of calcium in a cup (8 ounce) serving. It is made by the addition of tri basic calcium phosphate, carrageenan and guar gum to the fresh milk, effecting hydration of the gums and assuring uniform distribution of the added materials in the milk.

Abstract: A low temperature continuous frying process is used to make potato chips which are similar in taste and texture to those produced by the slow-cooked batch or kettle process. Potato slices are conveyed through first, second and third frying zones in a heated liquid frying medium, and the frying medium is admitted separately into each zone at a rate and temperature such that the potato slices are exposed first to a decrease and then to an increase in the temperature of the frying medium over time. The potato slices take on a pliable and shape-holding consistency as they are conveyed through the second frying zone, and folded potato chips may be obtained by agitating and compacting the potato slices as they are conveyed through this zone. The agitation and compaction may be carried out by rotating paddle assemblies arranged longitudinally in the frying vessel. Each paddle assembly comprises a rotatable shaft to which a number of vanes are affixed in a helical pattern.
