Patent number: 11950607Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MYCOTECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Lisa Smith, Todd McDonald, Savita Jensen, Joseph George Akamittath, Alan D.

Publication number: 20230048870Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). In the wireless communication network, a network controller receives a service request from a wireless UE and transfers a UE context request to a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM retrieves a subscriber profile for the wireless UE. The UDM identifies a wireless service type for the wireless UE and identifies a set of virtual Data Network Names (vDNNs) in the subscriber profile. The UDM selects one of the vDNNs for the wireless UE based on the wireless service type of the wireless UE. The UDM indicates the selected one of the vDNNs to the network controller. The network controller overrides provisioned DNN values using the selected one of the vDNNs. The network controller establishes a wireless data session for the wireless UE based on the selected one of the vDNNs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Anil Kumar Mariyani, Rajil Malhotra, Chris Alan Jensen

Patent number: 11407548Abstract: An automatic, high speed labeling machine is provided for applying individual labels to large and variable size produce items. The label strips used are much larger and heavier than known label strips used for small produce such as apples and pears. The increased weight causes label strip overrun when the labeler is paused and also causes slippage of the label strip. A label strip deflector is provided which causes the larger and heavier label strip to fold back on itself rather than to overrun and foul the application of labels. The drive rollers are modified to eliminate slippage of the heavier label strip.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Sinclair Systems International, LLCInventors: Justin Graham, Samuel Aaron Greer, Russell Alan Jensen, Kevin Guadagnini, Jeremy Benjamin Isch

Patent number: 9779956Abstract: A method for selectively etching SiO and SiN with respect to SiGe or Si of a structure is provided. A plurality of cycles of atomic layer etching is provided, where each cycle comprises a fluorinated polymer deposition phase and an activation phase. The fluorinated polymer deposition phase comprises flowing a fluorinated polymer deposition gas comprising a fluorocarbon gas, forming the fluorinated polymer deposition gas into a plasma, which deposits a fluorocarbon polymer layer on the structure, and stopping the flow of the fluorinated polymer deposition gas. The activation phase comprises flowing an activation gas comprising an inert bombardment gas and H2, forming the activation gas into a plasma, wherein the inert bombardment gas activates fluorine in the fluorinated polymer which with the plasma components from H2 cause SiO and SiN to be selectively etched with respect to SiGe and Si, and stopping the flow of the activation gas.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Xin Zhang, Alan Jensen, Gerardo Delgadino, Daniel Le

Patent number: 9063479Abstract: A system and method are provided to implement a double belt roll fuser geometry to enable consistent self-stripping of image receiving media exiting a fuser assembly in an image forming device. Interaction between an image receiving medium substrate and a fuser belt of a belt roll fuser device is modified to include configuration in which an opposing belt is positioned around a pressure roller to oppose the fuser belt provided around the fuser roller. The fuser belt and the opposing belt extend in a downstream direction from the fusing nip and are configured to provide an appropriate length downstream of the fusing nip that sandwiches the image receiving medium substrate between the fuser belt and the opposing belt. Each of the fuser belt and the opposing belt wrap 70 degrees or more around significantly smaller diameter rollers positioned downstream of the fusing nip to form a stripping nip.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Christopher Alan Jensen, Steven Matthew Russel, David P.
