  • Patent number: 11790107
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for platforms for managing database content distribution. In some implementations, a system stores a data set comprising monitoring data collected from remote devices. The system receives a data sharing request, and in response to the data sharing request generates a data sharing record that specifies a data sharing recipient, a portion of the data set to be shared, and a limited set of operations that can be performed using the shared portion of the data set. The system configures a customized portal for the data sharing recipient based on the data sharing record, wherein the customized portal is configured to provide access limited to the shared portion of the data set with functionality limited to the limited set of operations. The system provides the data sharing recipient access to the customized portal.

  • Publication number: 20150158108
    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with embodiments of the present invention are directed to depositing a consumable onto a workpiece using a hot-wire welding technique which employs a combination of hot wire and arc welding. The waveform creates arc events during the hot wire welding operation to add/control heat in the welding process. The hot-wire welding process can be used by itself, with a laser or in conjunction with other welding processes.

  • Publication number: 20150014283
    Abstract: A method and system to weld or join coated workpieces using an arc welding operation and at least one hot wire, resistance heated wire. Each of the arc welding and hot wire operation are directed to the same puddle. However, the arc welding operation is offset out of the joint from the hot wire operation, where the hot wire is directed into the joint.

  • Patent number: 3991221
    Abstract: A method of continuously forming elongated protein filaments from a cooked meat source is disclosed which comprises forming an aqueous slurry of a cooked meat source having a solids content of at least about 10 percent by weight and a pH of between about 3 and 10, followed by treatment of the noted slurry to provide a pumpable slurry with a viscosity ratio, as measured at a solids level of 15 percent by weight, to an uncooked meat slurry of substantially identical composition of at least about 1:2. Elongated protein filaments are thereafter formed from the slurry by continuously conducting the slurry under pressure through a heat exchanger and heating the slurry to a critical temperature of at least about 280.degree. F. and preferably between about 310.degree. - 335.degree. F. while the protein is subjected to such temperature for a sufficient period of time so that elongated filaments are separated from the slurry.

  • Patent number: 3957966
    Abstract: Food-fortifying, odor and taste masking melt-emulsion coating containing vitamins, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and selected fatty plasticizers for aerosol spray-on treatment, such as doughnut glaze or cake frosting of cereals and flour-based foodstuffs. The coating stabilizes foodstuffs otherwise adversely affected by light, oxygen, moisture or temperature of the environment.
