Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for converting a pneumatically controlled separator system, such as a liquid-gas separator system, to a separator system having electrically actuated controllers, pumps, and valves. The electrically actuated separator system of the present disclosure meets emissions standards and reduces (or eliminates) methane emissions that are harmful to the environment. The electrically actuated components of the system of the present disclosure may be powered with solar energy, which also reduces (or eliminates) carbon dioxide emissions.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming an edible item. The method includes the step of forming dough into a substantially planar ribbon having a first height. The dough is at least partially elastic. The method also includes the step of permanently displacing a portion of the at least partially elastic ribbon to a second height greater than the first height with a cutting die. The inventive method can produce a cracker formed from sheetable dough. The inventive cracker includes a first portion of planar configuration and a second portion integrally formed with and raised from said first portion.
