Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a pulp-molded container comprising a tray comprising a bottom wall, a peripheral side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall and terminating in a flange that at least partially defines an open top, the flange having a channel defined by spaced inner and outer channel walls connected by a bottom channel wall; and a cover closing the open top in a closed configuration, the cover including a protrusion biased against the inner and outer channel walls.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for assembling food products. More particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods for associating foodstuff and liquid with a base. Foodstuff may include food items such as meats, vegetables, cheeses, amongst others. Liquids include those food items that have a low viscosities (e.g. sauces, dressings, oils), high viscosities (e.g. peanut butter, frosting), and anything in between. A base can be anything on which foodstuff or liquid may be associated (e.g. bread, cake, cookies, pizza dough, a bowl in which to place foodstuff).

Abstract: One aspect of an embodiment of the invention relates to a method for substantially mitigating identity fraud. The method comprises (1) transmitting a password to a centralized entity for verification of the subscriber, where the password is unique to a subscriber being a party to a financial transaction. The password is compared to stored information at the centralized entity. If a match is detected, a certificate is provided by the centralized agency. The certificate authorizes access to credit data of the subscriber.

Abstract: A body panel mounting system for a vehicle has panel supports, a hinge bar, a latch bar, a support bracket, fastening collars, fastening brackets, and fasteners. The panel supports are coupled to the body panel and are adapted to receive the hinge bar and the latch bar. The support bracket is attached to the vehicle chassis and is adapted to removeably receive the hinge bar. The fastening collars slideably couple to the latch bar. The fastening brackets are coupled to the chassis of the vehicle and are adapted to receive the fasteners. The fastener couples the latch bar to the vehicle chassis via the fastening collars.

Abstract: A PWM output device using time-multiplexing to create multiple time-bases from a common time-base counter and thereby supporting multiple PWM output signals capable of having different periods and duty cycles. A circulating timer shifts to provide various fundamental time-bases to each PWM module, which sets and resets its PWM output upon a proper state determined by a looping state counter. When the state counter reaches 0, it causes the circulating counter to increment and the state counter to reload. As the circulating counter shifts, it generates a plurality of values to be used as the fundamental timebases for the PWM modules. Each PWM module comprises a time-base match unit, a duty cycle control unit, and an output control unit. The time-base match unit in each individual PWM module determines when the time base produced by the circulating counter is valid by comparing its preset valid state value with the state value from the state counter.

Abstract: A broadband YIG-tuned oscillator is disclosed that has both series and parallel feedback provided by a YIG sphere. The oscillator includes a transistor capable of driving a load coupled to a first port of the transistor, a reactive feedback element coupled to a second port of the transistor, a YIG resonator, and coupling means for coupling the YIG resonator to both a third port of the transistor and to the first port of the transistor.

Abstract: A photographic film unit comprises a support having coated thereon at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion, said layer having associated therewith a dye image-providing material, a dye image-receiving layer, means for discharging an alkaline processing composition within the film unit and at least one layer containing at least one para-nitrobenzylidene dye-forming compound. Some of the para-nitrobenzylidene dye-forming compounds are a dark color at moderately and highly alkaline conditions and are colorless at neutral or only slightly alkaline conditions such as at ambient conditions.
