  • Patent number: 11950607
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230048870
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11407548
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9779956
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150283607
    Abstract: A method of pressure casting a turbocharger component for an internal combustion engine may include heating an aluminum-scandium alloy to form a molten casting material including up to about 5 wt % scandium that is fully dissolved in the molten casting material, and introducing the molten casting material into a cavity of a mold from a bottom of the mold toward a top of the mold while applying a pressure to the molten casting material with a movable portion of a ram positioned in contact with the bottom of the mold. The method may also include solidifying the molten casting material by cooling the casting material as it comes into contact with a cooling member positioned on the top of the mold, wherein a coolant is pumped through coolant passages formed in the cooling member in order to cool the casting material at a cooling rate such that the solidifying preserves at least 70% of an original amount of the scandium in the aluminum-scandium alloy in solid solution in the casting material.

  • Patent number: 9075363
    Abstract: An approach is provided for reducing release agent transfer to a pressure member in a fuser. The approach involves causing, at least in part, at least a first sheeted substrate and a second sheeted substrate to be advanced through a fuser in a process direction. The approach also involves determining the presence of the first sheeted substrate at a fusing position. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a fuser member and a pressure member to engage to form a fusing nip at the fusing position based, at least in part, on the determined presence of the first sheeted substrate at the fusing position. The approach additionally involves determining the first sheeted substrate has advanced through the fusing nip. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, the fuser member and the pressure member to disengage.

  • Patent number: 9063479
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8913912
    Abstract: An approach is provided for applying a release agent to a substrate having at least a first surface and a second surface. The approach involves determining a print job type for applying one or more printed images to the substrate to be one of a simplex print job type that applies the one or more printed images to one of the first surface and the second surface and a duplex print job type that applies the one or more printed images to the first surface and the second surface. The approach also involves processing the determined print job type to cause, at least in part, a determination of a release agent application instruction that corresponds with the determined print job type. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, an amount of the release agent to be applied to the substrate based on the release agent application instruction.
