Abstract: A network module configured to provide switched auxiliary (AUX) power for E-stop system functionality in a network system. The network module includes a switching module and a controller. The switching module is configured to control the passage of power through a switched AUX cable for E-stop functionality. The switching module is configured to receive an unswitched AUX cable and the switched AUX cable. The controller is communicatively coupled to a communications cable. The controller is configured to control the switching actions of the switching module as defined by switching instructions received via the communications cable.

Abstract: A new type of food product made from shapeable, shape-retaining dough whose principal ingredient may be potato or essentially any grain-based flour or the like. The dough is shaped, coated with a batter/slurry made from flour or starch and water plus desired seasoning, coloring, etc., and then cooked, or parfried and frozen for subsequent reconstitution (finish-cooking) in a toaster, gradient oven, microwave oven, grill, broiler or the like. The finished product has a crispy/crunchy exterior and a light, fluffy interior, with many variations made possible by different dough types, etc. One particular embodiment is a potato waffle which is reconstitutable in a domestic toaster and has a soft, moist interior and crispy exterior.
