  • Patent number: 11246315
    Abstract: A taco shell is produced using a rotary cutter including a shaft, an outer blade extending radially outward from the shaft and a first inner blade extending radially outward from the shaft. The outer blade defines an interior area, enclosed by the outer blade, and an exterior area. The first inner blade is located in the interior area and includes a plurality of teeth. A dough piece is cut from a dough sheet with the outer blade, and a first arcuate line of depressions is created in the dough piece with the plurality of teeth. The dough piece is folded to form a shaped dough piece, and the shaped dough piece is baked to produce a hard taco shell.

  • Patent number: 11195446
    Abstract: An active display can have an increased color gamut and include a group of LED packets that each form a sub-pixel and that together form a pixel for the display. Each LED packet includes at least a red primary color LED, a greed primary color LED, and a blue primary color LED. Each LED can be associated with an intensity value to control the intensity of primary light outputted by the LED. The group of LED packets can output light in a color gamut of a color space for the active display. Each LED packet of the group of LED packets, individually, is configured to output light in the color gamut of a subset of the color space. The active display can display a visual media presentation to an audience. An increased fraction of LEDs from a production batch can be used in the active display.

  • Publication number: 20210088282
    Abstract: A grain dryer has a heated drying section with an upper plenum and a cooling section. A heater is positioned between the lower plenum and the upper plenum, wherein air is heated by the heater as air in the lower plenum is pulled through the heater and into the upper plenum. A fan takes a suction from a ductwork on the heated drying section to draw a vacuum in the upper and lower plenums. Grain enters the dryer and flows into the drying section where the grain is exposed to heated air being pulled from the upper plenum into the ductwork. Grain flows from the drying section into the cooling section where the grain is exposed to cooling air being pulled through outer walls of the cooling section into the lower plenum. Grain flows from the cooling section into the unloading section.

  • Patent number: 10924525
    Abstract: A server computing device for inducing latency on target input streams is provided. The server computing device includes a processor configured to receive a plurality of input streams from a respective plurality of client computing devices. Each input stream includes a plurality of inputs controlling actions of respective characters in a multiplayer online software program. The processor is further configured to determine a latency of each of the input streams, identify a higher latency input stream and a lower latency input stream among the plurality of input streams, and induce a higher latency in the lower latency input stream to narrow a difference in latency between the higher latency input stream and the lower latency input stream.
