Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a platform that is configured to be disposed in an oven in a horizontal orientation. Multiple receptacles, each configured to receive a food item, can be positioned above the platform. The receptacles can be coupled to and driven by a chain, cable, belt, or other suitable mechanism parallel to and disposed below the platform. The chain, cable, belt, etc. can mesh with sprockets, pulleys, etc. coupled to a plurality of axels such that the chain, cable, belt, etc. can move the receptacles in a closed loop.

Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to a container and an augur. The container can include a first protrusion and a second protrusion, each defining an opening. The auger can be configured to rotate within the first protrusion and the second protrusion to expel materials from the container. The augur can be configured to be removably coupled to a motor such that the augur and the container can be collectively removed from the motor. In some embodiments caps can be removably coupled to the first opening and/or the second opening such that the container can be sealed, for example, for storage or transport. Similarly, a lid can be configured to be releasably coupled to a top opening to seal the container.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for forming a biodegradable, thin-walled packing chip from an aqueous pulp of recycled newsprint by contacting the pulp with a mold comprising: (a) a solid core having substantially the shape of the article to be formed and having a minimal number of holes through which air may be evacuated and (b) an air permeable, stretchable fabric which covers the exterior of the core. After forming the chip on the fabric through application of a vacuum, the fabric is separated sufficiently from the solid surface to cause release of the chip from the fabric. The dried packing chip has enhanced packing qualities, is environmentally friendly and provides a significant new use for recycled newsprint.
