Abstract: A unitary item holder enabling the cooling and solidification of items within a vehicle having an air conditioning system and an associated air vent, especially those which have melted within the vehicle. The item holder includes a plate having a plate axis, a pocket, and a directly opposing hook end configured for sliding within the air vent and anchoring around a slat horizontally extending therein, such that the cool air from the conditioning system can be used to cool and solidify the items. The hook end is defined via the plate extending downwardly away from the plate axis. The pocket includes a pocket defined via the plate extending upwardly away from the plate axis for holding the melted items. In an example embodiment, the pocket further includes a cooling component for retaining coolness such that items can also remain cool and solidified when the vehicle is not running.

Abstract: An automated food processing system and method are provided that allow food to be dispensed, fried and packaged in a suitable container, which may be an individual portion-sized container. In one embodiment, the system includes separate automated modules for dispensing, frying and packaging the food. In one embodiment, an automated dispensing device dispenses a predetermined portion of food from a bulk storage container or food dispensing magazine to an automated fry device that can include at least one circular fry wheel having a plurality of food containing compartments. After the food is fried it is dispensed from the fry device to an automated packaging device. The automated packaging device dispenses food to a container that may be an individual portion-sized container that is retrieved, erected and held into position for filling by an automated container handling system. A conveyor system transports the filled container to a suitable pick-up location.

Abstract: An automated food processing system is provided that allows food to be dispensed, fried and packaged in a container, for example, an individual portion-sized container. The system includes separate automated modules for dispensing, frying and packaging food. An automated dispensing device dispenses a predetermined portion of food from a bulk storage container or food dispensing magazine. Food is dispensed from the automated dispensing device to an automated fry device that can include at least one circular fry wheel having a plurality of food containing compartments. After the food is fried, it is dispensed from the fry device to an automated packaging device. The automated packaging device dispenses food to a container, for example, an individual portion-sized container that is retrieved, erected and held in position for filling by an automated container handling system. After a food container is filled, a conveyor system transports the container to a pick-up location.

Abstract: Tools for implementing employee stock plans including stock options, restricted stock awards and/or and stock purchase plans are provided. A system is provided that comprises volatile data storage for storing participant information pursuant to a data transfer from a non-volatile database of a third party administrative system; an interface system for interacting with a participant regarding a requested transaction and enabling the participant to select a response pertaining to the employee stock plan; a trading system for conducting individual participant transactions on a public exchange, a communication system that connects a participant to the system; and an updating system that updates the participant information in the volatile data storage according to the selections and transactions made by the participant.

Abstract: An sensor for a monitoring oil in a deep fryer system having at least one fryer pot and a pipe directing oil to the fryer pot has a first sensor and a second sensor, and a first transmitter disposed for transmitting light through the oil to the first sensor and a second transmitter disposed for transmitting light through the oil to the second sensor. The sensor also has a processor for comparing a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor, wherein a notification is provided when a difference between signals exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A device and method for automated frying of foods is provided. The device includes a fry vat for containing and heating cooking oil, at least one circular fry wheel with a plurality of compartments having openings towards the perimeter of the fry wheel, a drive mechanism for rotating the fry wheel, and an overflow passageway located above a normal operating level of cooking oil in the fry vat. The fry wheel rotates about a radial axis disposed above the normal operating level of the cooking oil. A control mechanism for causing the drive mechanism to rotate the fry wheel back and forth to simulate shaking of a fry basket may be included. A food inlet is preferably included adjacent the overflow passageway or a foam deck including the overflow passageway. In a preferred method, the fry wheel submerges food in cooking oil and shakes the submerged food in a fry basket.
