Abstract: A device that provides better movement of semi solid materials such as but not limited to food products for metered dispensing. The device is able to take bulk semi solid material, entrain or draw the material into the device and add pressure to the semi solid material so that the semi solid material may be passed thru a nozzle or controlled discharge metering device or orifice. The rollers have circumferential grooved profiles and scrapers that are able to actively remove the semi-solid materials from the grooved profiles. The emitted semi solid material can then be more accurately applied or portioned in a metered fashion. Typical applications include but are certainly not limited to the production of cookies from bulk dough, the application of icing to a cake base/body/top or perimeter, metering of dough for bread or rolls so as to allow for a cutting device to cut off into uniform pieces.

An at least one sensor circuit senses the status of the battery product including a battery product voltage and a battery product temperature. Software modules in the battery monitoring system acquire battery product data such as the battery product voltage and the battery product temperature, filter the acquired battery product data into modified battery product data and process the modified battery product data against stored parameters through a lookup function on a variable event filter table resulting in an output that represents the state of charge or state of health of the battery. The acquired, filtered, modified and compared battery product data is stored to provide historical battery product data over the course of the life of the battery product.
