  • Patent number: 9372006
    Abstract: A compact oven is disclosed. The compact oven includes a housing having a cavity for receiving food items, and one or more blowers for directing heated air into the cavity. The compact oven also includes an air deflection plate coupled to a nozzle plate having multiple nozzles for capturing and directing a portion of heated air from the blower to the cavity via nozzles located between the air deflection plate and the nozzle plate, while allowing the remaining heated air exiting the blower to move into the cavity via nozzles not located between the air deflection plate and the nozzle plate such that the velocities of heated air exiting all nozzles into the cavity are as close to each other as possible.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050086537
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to replicate and secure process control system data. Devices coupled to a process control network produce data that is collected by a host on the network. This data may be provided to users of computers that are not on the process control network, without increasing the network's vulnerability to network attacks. To achieve this security, an isolation system including a firewall and an application workstation are placed between the host and the non-network computers. The host pushes the data through the firewall to the application workstation, which includes the same application program interface found on the host. Thus, non-network computers can not identify that the data provided to them is coming from the application workstation instead of the process control network. The firewall is configured to prevent most or all outside communications with the network. Thus, the network is protected from attacks while providing its data to non-network computers.

  • Publication number: 20050066272
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for supporting the products and services of others, in the embodiments described herein. Customers access separate web sites with similar user interface designs and naming conventions so the customer is transparently transferred from a vendor's web site to a support service provider web site. User interface designs and naming conventions remain consistent through use of consistent HTML language and format.
