Patent number: 11793356Abstract: An infrared source is arranged relative to support for bread product and operates to direct IR energy to the bread product. A light source is arranged relative to the support and operates to illuminate the bread product and a camera operates to capture images of the bread product. A processor receives the images from the camera. The processor compares successive images received from the camera. Based upon the comparison, the processor operates the IR source to achieve a predetermined toasting level of the bread product.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Marmon Foodservice Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Steven Shei, Loren Veltrop, Henry Africano, David E. Paton, Nicholas Paul Mandarino

Publication number: 20190287423Abstract: A synthetic surgical simulation system includes an anatomical structure comprising a hydrogel and at least 60% water and a tubular structure that is configured to at least partially vaporize, seal, and/or cut in response to an application of energy emitted by a electrosurgical tool. Some exemplary tools are a high-frequency alternating and direct current electrosurgical tool, a high frequency sound wave electrosurgical tool, or an argon beam coagulator. In some embodiments, the system also includes connective tissue. In further embodiments, the connective tissue couples a first anatomical structure and a second anatomical structure. In some embodiments, the tubular structure is at least partially embedded in one or more of the first anatomical structure, the second anatomical structure, and the connective tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2017Publication date: September 19, 2019Applicant: PraxiCut, LLCInventors: Cecilie Tassone, Alexandre Derevianko, John Welin, Henry Africano, Georgia Papavasiliou, Yusheng He, Sabina Tassone
