Abstract: A helmet selection/customization process, which comprises obtaining a 3D scan of a user's head; identifying a retail helmet variant that would fit the user's head; providing the user with an option to select the identified retail helmet variant or design a custom liner for a base helmet; and in case the user selects to design a custom helmet, causing generation of a 3D model of a custom liner based on the 3D scan and a 3D model of the base helmet. The method includes determining, based on the 3D scan, parameters associated with the user's head; and accessing a database storing parameters associated with a plurality of retail helmet variants, wherein the identifying is carried out based on processing of the parameters associated with the user's head and the parameters stored in the database, so as to identify one of the variants in the plurality of retail helmet variants.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing the ready-to-eat food bar. The ready-to-eat food bar produced by the present process includes agglomerated particles of one or more cereal bases is provided. The cereal bases include primarily amalyceous materials and optionally milk solids. The agglomerated particles are coated with a binder which includes sugars, milk solids, humectants or fat and optionally milk solids.

Abstract: A ready-to-eat, nutritionally valuable food bar containing an extruded mixture of (a) agglomerated particles or flakes of at least one cooked-extruded base made of amylaceous materials and milk solids and (b) a binder made of sugar, milk solids and a binding agent, wherein the extruded mixture has the shape of a bar. Also, a process for manufacturing a ready-to-eat food bar by preparing a dry mixture of particles or flakes of at least one cooked-extruded base containing amylaceous materials and milk solids; mixing the dry mixture with a binder made of sugar, milk solids and a binding agent; and forming the mass obtained into a bar shape.

Abstract: Sweet bakery products that can be consumed as is or which are also consumable as a beverage after stirring into hot milk. These products are produced by baking a dough-like shapable composition which is without cereal flour contents and contains starch and mono- or di-saccharides, as well as fat, plant proteins, flavoring, aromatizing and coloring ingredients, a raising agent.

Abstract: Breadcrumbs for coating a food are prepared by extrusion-cooking ingredients of a ground cereal, a reducing sugar, a fat, particularly hydrogentated palm oil, and water to obtain an extruded, cooked product which then is ground to obtain a ground particular which is dried to obtain a dried product. The extrusion-cooking is carried out a temperature of at least 150° C. and under a pressure of at least 45 bar, and the fat is employed in an amount so that the dried product has a fat content of from 7% to 12% by weight. The breadcrumbs, when coated on a food product, enable obtaining a breadcrumb-coated oven-cooked food product similar to an oven-cooked breadcrumb product without frying of the breadcrumbs or the coated product in oil.

Abstract: Edible cups containing an edible filling are prepared by extrusion-cooking ingredients which include a cereal ingredient and extruding an extrusion-cooked product strip, passing the product strip to a heated pressing device for hot-pressing the product strip while it is still thermoplastic to form cavities in the strip which define cup structures in a row and then, incisions are made between the cup structures, a food product filling is introduced into the cup structure cavity and the strip is cut so that filled cups are obtained.

Abstract: Method of preparing an flavoring base, in which a mixture is prepared combining at least water and a starchy starting material, the mixture is liquefied with at least one carbohydrase and it is treated enzymatically with a lipase or a lipoxygenase, and use of the the dried or liquid flavoring base for the manufacture of a food product.

Abstract: A process of making a dried, cooked, extrudate cereal and vegetable composition of, in admixture, by weight dry matter, from 2% to 90% vegetable matter, from 8% to 96% gelatinized cereal matter and from 2% to 15% fat and having an apparent density of from 100 g/l to 500 g/l. The composition is prepared by cooking a mixture of, by weight, from 9 to 110 parts cereal, from 7 to 300 parts vegetable puree, from 2 to 15 parts fat and which has a water content of between more than 23% and less than 70% in an extruder and prior to extrusion of the cooked product from the extruder, allowing steam to escape from the mixture and extruder so that an extrudate product extruded from the extruder has a water content of from 15% to 23%, and then, the extrudate product is cut and dried.

Abstract: A dried food composition is prepared by extrusion-cooking and drying so that the composition has a specific gravity of from 150 g/l to 500 g/l, and when rehydrated during preparation of such as a soup, the composition floats during rehydration. To prepare the composition, cereal flour and/or semolina, a fat, water and a protein and/or glucide filler substance ingredients are introduced into a twin-screw extruder and extrusion-cooked, the extruded, cooked product is cut into pieces and then, the product pieces are dried, and the ingredients are in amounts and are extrusion-cooked under a temperature of from 80.degree. C. to 160.degree. C. under a pressure of from 60 bar to 150 bar so that upon extrusion-cooking, the extruded, cooked product has, by weight, a fat content of from 6% to 14% and a moisture content of from about 10% to 16% and so that upon the extrusion cooking and drying, the dried product has a specific gravity of from 15 g/l to 500 g/l.

Abstract: A water bottle tilting assembly mounted on a water dispensing cabinet is arranged to support the water bottle adjacent the dispensing cabinet at a level so that when the bottle is tilted about an axle the mouth of the bottle automatically reaches the trough of the cabinet with a breakable seal around the mouth of the bottle. A pointed sharp cutter is located inside the trough of the cabinet and breaks the seal when the bottle reaches its upside down position to allow the water to flow in the water dispensing cabinet.
