  • Publication number: 20140322678
    Abstract: A food media processing platform (FMPP) and a computer-implemented method, performed by a processor, are described for processing food nutrition information for presentation to a consumer. Original food nutrition information stored in a first database may be examined to determine key attributes of the original food nutrition information. The determined key attributes of the original food nutrition information may be contrasted with consumer provided information stored in a second database. Modified food nutrition information may be generated based on the contrasting. An algorithm is then performed that compares the key attributes of the modified food nutrition information to a predetermined criteria. The modified food nutrition information may then be presented to the consumer along with supplemental information on a condition that the predetermined criteria has been met.

  • Patent number: 5921730
    Abstract: A rotary power tool is provided having a remotely actuated chuck device. The chuck is mounted onto the end of a drive spindle that extends from the casing of the power tool. The chuck includes an outer sleeve member that is axially movable relative to the drive spindle between a gripping position and a release position. A sleeve actuating device is provided having a first member engaged with the outer sleeve member and which extends generally radially outward from the drive spindle or chuck. The first member is movable in a direction so as to move the outer sleeve member between the gripping position and the release position. The sleeve actuating device includes an actuator member configured with the first member to move the first member upon an external force being applied thereto. In this manner, an operator can move the chuck device between the gripping and release positions at a location remote from the chuck device and drive spindle.
