Abstract: Pasta filata cheese, such as mozzarella and provolone, is molded and chilled by delivering the warm, plastic cheese through a cheese inlet port into a plurality of molds at an inlet station. A fluid, such as chilled water, is circulated around the molds to cool the pasta filata cheese therein. After cooling to some degree, force is applied to the upper surface of the cheese in each mold to prevent a depression from forming in that surface. Thereafter upon cooling for a desired amount, the pasta filata cheese is ejected from the plurality of molds at an outlet station.

Abstract: A present invention license reallocation system and method facilitates flexible and effective licensing distribution. The license reallocation system and method enables convenient movement of licensed information between hardware devices while ensuring appropriate compliance with license terms. An expired license indication is generated on license expiration. The expired license indication indicates that prior license keys associated with proprietary information are expired. Upon receipt of a valid expired license indication and expired license keys new license key(s) is issued presumably for a different hardware. A license serial number (LSN) that is both globally unique and mutable is utilized to generate license keys. In one embodiment, the license serial number includes system serial number (SSN) and an extension serial number (ESN).

Abstract: In a technique for authenticating a user submitting a service request from a client to a server, a service agent on the server receives the service request and submits an authentication request to a manager agent. If the user is successfully authenticated, the manager agent transmits a message to the service agent including user authentication information and stores a time-out value establishing a predetermined time period. The service agent stores the user authentication information and shares it with a distributed application which provides the requested service to the user. The manager agent determines whether the predetermined time period has been exceeded before another service request is received at the service agent, and if not then the service agent attempts to authenticate the user using the stored authentication information. Otherwise, the service agent submits another authentication request to the manager agent to authenticate the user.
