Abstract: A carrier for a partially baked dough product having a bottom crust and a moist topping including a vented container for the partially baked dough product and a heater being adapted to initially heat the bottom of the partially baked dough product to a temperature greater than 250.degree. F. to finish baking the crust of the dough product, and to maintain the temperature of the crust greater than the temparature of the moist topping. The vented container is formed to exhaust moist air from the interior of the container while maintaining the temperature of air adjacent the moist topping on the dough product above the dewpoint of air in the container to prevent condensation of moisture and to draw air from outside the container to expel moisture from adjacent the bottom crust.

Abstract: A baking machine provided with a yogurt manufacturing device and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed with: a first heating means; a baking room; a first temperature sensor; a controller for controlling all components; a yogurt preparing vessel; a fermenting room for accommodating the yogurt manufacturing vessel; a temperature elevating device for elevating the fermenting room temperature; a second temperature sensing means for detecting the fermenting room temperature; and a temperature lowering device for lowering the fermenting room temperature. Through manipulations of selective switches, either yogurt can be manufactured simultaneously with the baking of bread, or only yogurt or only bread can be manufactured.

Abstract: An in-line mixer for insertion in a fluid pipeline to mix the fluid flowing through the pipeline comprises a rotary tubular casing composed of magnetic material and rotatably disposed within a housing fitted in the pipeline. A plurality of mixing elements are disposed within the tubular casing and project radially outwardly toward the inner wall of the casing. A set of electromagnetic coils are disposed circumferentially around the outside of the tubular casing and produce a rotating magnetic field to induce rotation of the casing through magnetic coupling of the rotating magnetic field and the magnetic material of the casing. The fluid flowing through the tubular casing is thoroughly stirred and mixed by the combined actions of the mixing elements and the rotating casing, and stagnation of the fluid near the inner wall of the casing is effectively eliminated due to rotation of the casing.
