Abstract: An attachment for use with a food processing system including a container body including a sidewall, a first end configured to be mounted to a food processing base, and a second end remote from said first end. The first end is open and the second end includes an end wall oriented transverse to the sidewall. A chamber is defined by said container body. A first agitating member is receivable at said first end and a second agitating member receivable at said second end. The second agitating member is extendable into said chamber from said second end.

Abstract: A bowl assembly for a micro puree machine includes a beaker removeably attachable to a beaker coupling located inside a bowl. The beaker coupling operatively couples to a drive motor assembly for rotation of the beaker coupling and the beaker relative to the bowl. The bowl in turn locks onto a bayonet structure on a base of the micro puree machine, which secures the bowl in position on the base while the beaker coupling and the beaker rotate.

Abstract: An attachment configured for use with a food processing system includes a container configurable with a food processing base of the food processing system. The container has a processing chamber. The processing chamber has a first configuration adjacent a first end of said container and a distinct second configuration adjacent a second end of said container, said second configuration being circular.

Abstract: A resource system comprises a plurality of resource elements and a resource controller connected to the resource elements and operating the resource elements according to a predefined set of operational goals. A method of operating the resource system comprises the steps of identifying error recovery procedures that could be executed by the resource elements, categorizing each identified error recovery procedure in relation to the predefined set of operational goals, detecting that an error recovery procedure is to be performed on a specific resource element, deploying one or more actions in relation to the resource elements according to the categorization of the detected error recovery procedure, and performing the detected error recovery procedure on the specific resource element.

Abstract: A method and a system for testing a storage system to which is applied a command or a sequence of commands. The storage system has a storage medium and a controller, and each command results in an outcome, and the method comprises: storing in a dataset; information related to the command and/or the sequence of commands including for each command: an address of the storage system the command is applied to, and an outcome of the command. When a sequence of commands is applied, the information stored in the dataset includes an outcome of the sequence of commands. This method further comprises selecting one or more commands from the dataset to be subsequently replayed when the outcome of the at least one command indicates an error.

Abstract: An apparatus for real-time performance management of a virtualized storage system operable in a network having managed physical storage and virtual storage presented by an in-band virtualization controller comprises: a monitoring component operable in communication with the network for acquiring performance data from the managed physical storage and the virtual storage; and a cache controller component responsive to the monitoring component for adjusting cache parameters for the virtual storage. The apparatus may further comprise a queue controller component responsive to the monitoring component for adjusting queue parameters for the managed physical storage. The monitoring component, the cache controller component and the queue controller component may be configured to operate periodically during operation of the virtualized storage system.

Abstract: A juice extractor (10) having a base (11) upon which there is mounted an electric motor (13). The electric motor (13) drives a grating disc (32). Extending upwardly from the disc (32) is a delivery chute (24) via which food is delivered to the disc (32). A food engaging member is pivotally mounted in a lower portion of the chute (24) and is movable between an extended position projecting into the passage (25) of the chute (24) and a retracted position clearing the passage (25). The member (34) inhibits at least larger pieces of food, such as fruit and vegetables, from engaging the disc (23) until the plunger (33) engages the food to move the food towards the disc (32).
