Abstract: Leavened yeast dough products obtain a long durability in a frozen condition by omitting using in the preparation thereof fermentable carbohydrates, but the formation in situ of such fermentable carbohydrates satisfactory to leaven the dough is ensured by adding one or more amylases to the dough. Upon freezing the activity of the amylase ceases and the concentration of fermentable carbohydrates falls to such a low value that the proteinase forming activity of the yeast actually ceases. A possibly desired brown-coloring of the baked product may be ensured by the addition of amylases with an activity at a relatively high temperature.

Abstract: A chair is equipped with a seat rest cushion and support and a separate back rest cushion and support. The cushions are mounted on the chair frame and interconnected by a mechanism which permits swinging the back rest cushion downwards to a knee rest position while tilting the seat rest cushion forward to enable a person to assume a knee rest position on the chair. Also, further adjustments of the seat rest cushion to act as a back rest and the knee rest cushion to act as a seat rest provides a lounge chair. All of this out of the same original chair. Additional embodiments provide an additional cushion for a person while in a knee rest or lounge position of desired.

Abstract: Attachments and adjustments are applied to conventional chairs which provide a knee rest normally positioned in a retracted position beneath the seat cushion. Special mechanisms permit withdrawal of the cushion to a position facing the seat cushion and tilting the seat cushion to permit use of the chair in a knee rest position and provide for return of the cushion to its original position. Related mechanisms provide for corresponding adjustments to the seat rest and the back rest to effect conversion of the chair from conventional to other uses. The latter include adjustment of the seat rest and back rest to convert the chair for use in a lounge position.
