Abstract: An enclosed food processing device is provided having one or more conveyor belts and vertically rotating agitators positioned above the belt. The agitators have forwardly and rearwardly projecting prongs that stir the food being processed without causing physical damage to it. The preferred forwardly projecting prongs are elongated and have a generally rounded cross-section. The preferred rearwardly projecting prongs may be staggered or otherwise arranged so as to break up clumps while permitting curds to pass between them.

Abstract: A computer system for processing and presenting cost estimates in the construction industry includes a CPU; primary input hardware for entering data and commands to the CPU; output hardware including a display for displaying information; estimating hardware for interacting with a plan print to count and/or scale off measurements of assemblies and/or items on the plan print and input such counts and/or measurements into the CPU for processing; and a memory unit having a stored assembly information record list database and a stored item information record list database and including software means for permitting an operator to command, through the primary input hardware, an opening for concurrent use of any selected number of takeoff windows from the assembly and/or item information record lists; a closing of any open takeoff window; an opening of any additional takeoff window; and a count and/or scaling off of measurements of assemblies and/or items from a plan print with the estimating hardware for cost estim
