  • Publication number: 20070098860
    Abstract: Vegetable or fruit pieces such as potato wedges or chunks and the like are blanched and then roasted. The post-roast pieces are then infused with liquid preferably such as an aqueous solution as by spraying or dipping to result in a post-roast product weight increase on the order of up to about 20% by weight, followed by freezing for shipment and/or storage. This invention enhances process control by providing a means of independent control of color development and moisture. The thus-prepared and frozen potato pieces are suitable for subsequent finish preparation as by finish frying or oven heating, resulting in a finish-prepared product having a desirable combination of taste, texture and appearance attributes. The invention is not limited to potatoes but includes other vegetables and fruits as well.

  • Publication number: 20060259468
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the management and organization of electronic records are disclosed. These systems and methods provide the user with capabilities such as inputting and retrieving documents, searching for documents and sharing documents across an organization. The systems and methods also allow the capture of unstructured electronic records not typically associated with document management systems like, for example, email or instant message conversations, allow for remote update of replicated data between electronic record management systems to ensure integrity and consistency of the electronic records, allow for structured replication of electronic records between remote and master systems, and provide a mechanism for rectifying multiple disposal rules that may apply to the same electronic record.

  • Publication number: 20060080316
    Abstract: The disclosed technology enhances the granularity of access control systems by indexing electronic documents of interest in a manner that selectively provides authorized users with access to either content or metadata of such documents. Restriction indicia corresponding to, for example, a full-access permission and a limited-access permission, are assigned to an electronic document and this restriction indicia is compared with a user's authorization level to determine whether the user should be granted full access to the electronic document's content or be granted a limited access restricted to the document's metadata.
