Abstract: An apparatus for separating a ribbon of uncooked embossed dough into separated pieces patterned/shaped like the embossed pattern. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart rollers for receiving a ribbon of dough there between. One of rollers has a pattern embossed on its surface to emboss the ribbon of dough with the pattern. The surface embossing and the spacing between the rollers maintains the structural integrity of the embossed ribbon of dough. The apparatus has a two spaced apart rotating arms to receive the embossed dough ribbon there between. A plurality of spaced apart fingers extend outward along the length of each of the arms and are configured to tear the dough, without sticking, into dough pieces reflecting shapes embossed in the dough ribbon. The dough pieces can be dried, and patterned shaped pieces are separated out for expansion to three dimensions by cooking.

Abstract: A system and method for repairing a turbine. The method includes applying a coating on an outer surface of a tenon that extends from a stator vane. The tenon may be inserted at least partially into an opening defined by an inner shroud segment of the turbine. A bushing may be inserted at least partially into the opening in the inner shroud segment of the turbine such that the tenon becomes at least partially disposed within an opening defined by the bushing. A bolt may be inserted through the opening in the bushing and at least partially into an opening defined by the tenon. The bolt may be threadably engaged with the tenon.

Abstract: An infant seat cover having a cover pad to be placed over the seat and a blanket and a protective hood attached to the front end and head ends, respectively, of the pad. An article-receiving pocket is attached to the rear of the pad. The blanket may be rolled or otherwise gathered and then tied at the front end of the cover pad when not in use and when needed may be folded back over and adjustably secured along its edges to the pad to cover an infant in the seat in a manner which accommodates the infants's growth. The hood arches over the head end of the pad to shield the infants's head and face against the elements and to some degree against flying glass and other debris in the event of an automobile accident. The hood may be pressed flat against the pad when not in use.
