Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions that cause a processor to receive an indication of a request for analysis of a simulation model associated with an industrial automation system, wherein the industrial automation system includes a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of devices includes a respective compute surface configured to perform one or more software tasks, identify a first device of the plurality of devices having sufficient resources to perform the analysis, and deploy a container to the first device. The container is configured to collect data from one or more sensors disposed in or around the industrial automation system, update the simulation model based on the collected data, and provide the updated simulation model for distribution to one or more other devices of the plurality devices.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions that cause a processor to receive an industry profile associated with an industrial automation system that includes a plurality of devices, each including a compute surface that performs software tasks. The instructions cause the processor to determine data processing tasks to perform based on the industry profile, identify a portion of the devices to perform the data processing tasks based on the compute surface available for each of the devices, deploy a container to each of the portion of the devices, wherein each container of each of the portion of the devices performs at least one of the data processing tasks, receive one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the plurality of devices, and update a registry to indicate the one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the devices.

Abstract: Techniques for data transmission within an industrial automation system include modeling or simulating, in accordance with a model, a plurality of devices performing one or more operations in an industrial automation system, determining, for a first operation of the one or more operations and from a plurality of categories, a category for the first operation, sending a request to the industrial automation system for data associated with the first operation at a time, wherein the data and time are determined based on the category of the first operation, receiving, from the industrial automation system, the requested data, and modifying the model based on the received data.

Abstract: Novel cheese products and methods of producing such cheese products that include a biogenerated exopolysaccharide (EPS) formed in-situ and separate from the main cream cheese fermentation. In some approaches, the methods and cheese products herein build a unique texture and/or microstructure that permits the cheese to utilize a simplified ingredient line while still mimicking the desired organoleptic characteristics of more-conventional, full-ingredient cheese.

Abstract: A formed tray for baking and transporting a food product is provided herein. In some embodiments, the formed tray includes two cavities surrounded by a peripheral flange. In addition, the formed tray also may include a rigid bridge extending between the cavities and recessed below the peripheral flange. The peripheral flange of the formed tray may include beveled corners and two concave sections. A pre-cooked food product may be disposed in the cavities and sealed within the formed tray by a flexible film. Also provided herein is a process for baking and sealing a food product within the formed tray to provide a pre-cooked packaged food product that may be stored and transported.

Abstract: A multilayer edible product includes a center, a barrier layer directly encompassing at least a portion of the center, and an outer layer directly encompassing the barrier layer and indirectly encompassing the center. The barrier layer includes a hydrophilic powder and a source of fat. The center has at least one of: a fat content that is either greater than or less than a fat content of the outer layer, or a water activity that is either greater than or less than a water activity of the outer layer. A composition of the barrier layer is different than a composition of the center and a composition of the outer layer.
