  • Publication number: 20240126038
    Abstract: A panel system includes a chassis holding one or more tray arrangements, which are each configured to receive one or more cassettes at two or more bays. The tray arrangements and cassettes cooperate to define a cassette sensor arrangement and a port occupancy sensor arrangement having separate interface points. The cassette sensor arrangement may include electronic memory storing physical layer information about the cassette. All active components of the port occupancy sensor arrangement are disposed on the tray while the electronic memories of the cassette sensor arrangement are stored on the cassettes.

  • Patent number: 6589583
    Abstract: The present invention provides freezer-to-oven dough products, as well as methods for preparing the dough products. Specifically, the dough products of the present invention include a chemical leavening system comprising a plurality of chemical leavening acids having different temperature ranges within which they are active as chemical leaveners. Such a chemical leavening system provides for the staged rising, i.e., rising that occurs over a wide temperature range and thus during a substantial portion of the cooking cycle, of the dough products of the present invention when cooked. By providing frozen dough products with such a leavening system, the need for a preproofing step prior to freezing, a thawing step or an intervening proofing step prior to cooking is avoided, and yet, the dough product is capable of substantial expansion upon cooking, thereby producing a cooked dough product with excellent visual and organoleptic properties.
