Abstract: A CDN edge server is configured to provide one or more extended content delivery features on a domain-specific, customer-specific basis, preferably using configuration files that are distributed to the edge servers using a configuration system. A given configuration file includes a set of content handling rules and directives that facilitate one or more advanced content handling features, such as content prefetching. When prefetching is enabled, the edge server retrieves objects embedded in pages (normally HTML content) at the same time it serves the page to the browser rather than waiting for the browser's request for these objects. This can significantly decrease the overall rendering time of the page and improve the user experience of a Web site. Using a set of metadata tags, prefetching can be applied to either cacheable or uncacheable content.

Abstract: A decorative illuminated artificial icicle assembly having a lamp housing having an open bottom end. An upright oriented elongated icicle-shaped body member has its top end detachably secured to the open bottom end of the lamp housing. The outer diameter of the icicle-shaped body member at its top end is less than the width of the open bottom end of the lamp housing to provide a light ray passage open space therebetween. A light source is mounted in the lamp housing. The lamp housing has a reflective inner surface that directs light rays downwardly into the interior of the top end of the icicle-shaped body member and also through the light ray passage open space to illuminate the outer surface of the icicle-shaped body member. The icicle-shaped body member may be tubular and have an aperture in its bottom for draining moisture that condenses therein. A colored lens positioned between the light source and the icicle-shaped body member can be used to vary the color of the illumination.

Abstract: An automatic apparatus for delivering formed, freshly fried potato products from a dehydrated potato granulate. The apparatus includes a frying unit with a frying vessel, heating element, device for controlling dwell time of the potato product, and at least two temperature sensors. The apparatus also includes a control unit for controlling the frying time. The apparatus may also include a dough making unit having a fixed lower plate and a rotary device having four cups.

Abstract: This invention is related to a novel process and automatic apparatus for delivering formed, freshly fried potato products from a dehydrated potato granulate. The process includes the steps of preparing a dough by rehydrating the granulate, cutting the dough into pieces, frying the pieces of dough, and controlling the frying time by measuring the temperature of the frying oil during the frying time; computing the introduced energy amount by integrating the temperature of frying oil over the frying time; and terminating the frying time when the introduced energy amount equals a predetermined constant value. The pieces are removed from the oil when the frying time is terminated.

Abstract: In producing an additive for a building material, lightweight granules (e.g., polystyrene beads) are first coated with a waterproof adhesive by mixing in a suitable mixer. When the granules are satisfactorily coated, they are further coated with a wet cementitious material, for example aggregate and wet cement, or with wet plaster, which is added to the mixture. Only sufficient moisture is added to allow the cement or plaster to initiate the chemical reaction which results in the curing of the coating material on the granules. The wet material acts to separate the granules while forming a coating thereon. The granules are then removed from the mixture and allowed to dry and set. The dry granules may then be added to a conventional concrete or plaster mix.

Abstract: The invention relates to continuous heat treatment of coiled tungsten filaments wound onto molybdenum cores, in the course of which said filament is passed first through a humid hydrogen atmosphere of about 1300.degree. C. then through a dry hydrogen atmosphere of a temperature of about 1700.degree. to about 1850.degree. C. The method complying with the invention is characterized by transfer times of the coiled tungsten filaments to be heat-treated through heating zones lying in the range of about 3 to about 7 seconds, preferably about 5 seconds, but the duration of passing through the 1700.degree. to 1850.degree. C. high-temperature is at most 7 seconds. The invention also covers the equipment suitable for accomplishing the method, consisting of two high-melting metallic heating tubes, an inventing wheel, a spiral winding/unwinding device, and a temperature sensing and controlling unit.
