  • Patent number: 6726944
    Abstract: A method for providing individually baked products comprising the steps of providing an uncooked dough sheet or block which has separable portions of predefined shape, separating one or more portions from the sheet or block and then baking the portions to obtain individually baked products. The shapes of the portions are defined by grooves, score lines, or combinations thereof and the portions are separated from the sheet by breaking then along the grooves, or score lines. The grooves or score lines may be intersecting or non-intersecting and substantially straight to define polygonal shaped portions, or at least partially arcuate to define the shape of an object having non-linear features, such as a cartoon character.

  • Publication number: 20030017244
    Abstract: A ready-for-use refrigerated dough that is prepared from flour, a leavening agent and fat. The dough has a surface that includes grooves, score lines, or combinations thereof which define pieces of the dough to be broken off and baked into individual bakery products. The grooves, score lines, or combinations thereof each have a depth of about 3% to about 95% of the thickness of the dough. The dough is in the form of a sheet or a parallelepipedal, cylinder, prismatic block or polygon having a thickness of from about 0.5 to 5 cm.

  • Patent number: 4483199
    Abstract: A method of measuring a solid matter mass flow during conveying of solid matter-gas suspensions in tubular conduits, particularly during conveying in a dense stream with high pressure, comprises the steps of changing in a pulse mode a solid matter concentration of a solid matter-gas suspension at one location of the conduit through which the suspension flows, continuously measuring a solid matter concentration of a solid matter-gas suspension or a value corresponding thereto at two measuring locations downstream of the first-mentioned changing location and spaced from one another in the conduit, determining a difference between time points at which a difference of the solid matter concentration or the corresponding value is indicated after one another at the measuring locations downstream of the first-mentioned changing location and spaced from one another, determining a per-unit-time average value of the solid matter concentration of the solid matter-gas suspension in a conduit portion corresponding to the m
