  • Publication number: 20050158438
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recipe for a breadless breading substitute to be used, instead of bread or batter, for the purpose of coating foods or mixing in food to create a low carbohydrate product. The recipe comprises almond meal, flax seed meal, soy flour and seasoning to form a healthy, gluten free product. When applied to food, such as chicken tenders, and then fried in oil or baked in an oven, the result is the creation of a breadless breading texture that is tasty and low in fat.

  • Publication number: 20030121665
    Abstract: A subsurface safety valve has a closure sleeve or rod mounted below the closure mechanism. Control signal pushes the sleeve up (uphole) or down (downhole), whichever is applicable, which causes the closure element to rotate (or slide, or otherwise translate) to its open position. A loss of control signal allows the closure spring to push the sleeve or rod downhole (or uphole, whichever is appropriate). This movement causes the closure element to be driven to its closed position against the seat.

  • Patent number: 5984604
    Abstract: Can bodies are formed typically by drawing and wall-ironing a cup, introducing fluid between punch and dies as the cup exits the dies and then forming the desired base profile. The can bodies formed in the present invention are able to be produced from thin hard material such as double reduced steel and/or have stronger base profiles in terms of tighter radii and deeper countersinks than was hitherto possible without risk of splitting.

  • Patent number: 5738086
    Abstract: A method of installing an anti-siphon flow restricter into a gas flow lumen of a nebulizer includes providing an anti-siphon flow restricter having a side wall conforming to a cross section of the gas flow lumen, first and second ends at opposite ends of the side wall and an elastomeric diaphragm closing the first end of the side wall. The anti-siphon flow restricter is axially inserted into the gas flow lumen with the diaphragm leading. The diaphragm is slit and allowed to self-bias closed.

  • Patent number: 4422177
    Abstract: A Computerized Tomography (CT) system for examining large objects, e.g., rocket motors, includes an improved support structure comprising a large bearing and an elongated cup-like support attached to the inner race of the bearing and extending away from the bearing in coaxial relation thereto for supporting the object to be examined and for rotating that object about the axis of the bearing. Spacers or an elevator are provided adjacent the bottom of the cup-like structure for selectively translating the object being examined along the axis of the support structure and bearing. An X-ray source is positioned to beam X-rays through the object being examined at a diametral plane in said object closely adjacent to one face of the bearing, and a detector is also provided which is responsive to X-rays passing through the object to determine the X-ray opacity of a slice of said object closely adjacent to the bearing.
