  • Patent number: 12628793
    Abstract: An automatic animal feeding system is provided. Embodiments of the automatic animal feeding system include an automatic food dispenser and a food canister storing food pods. The automatic food dispenser couples to the food canister, receives a food pod form the food canister, removes a cover or lid from the food pod, presents the opened food pod for pet consumption, disposes of the food pod into a disposal compartment that is sealed off from the ambient air, and implements other steps of an automatic feeding process. Aspects of the automatic feeding process can be efficiently implemented, for example, by actuating two motors based on data received from sensors of the automatic animal feeding system. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compact, control-efficient, self-cleaning automatic animal feeding system that can continuously personalize feeding patterns or feed a pet with little to no human intervention over a period of time.

  • Publication number: 20060019010
    Abstract: A method for demolding a body of frozen confection encased in a flexible disposable mold includes the steps of slicing the mold, applying heat to the mold sufficient to soften a surface portion of the body of confection to permit the mold to slip from the body, directing gas into the slit mold to open the mold and to separate the mold from the body, and applying suction to the mold to pull the mold free of the body. The invention further includes an assembly for effecting the method, the assembly including a slicer, a heater, a blower, and a suction device.

  • Publication number: 20050240440
    Abstract: Medical reports are a key component of a patient's medical history. Medical reports, however, often contain lexicon that is inconsistent and of insufficient detail leading to problems in analyzing the medical reports. Additionally, creating detailed medical reports can be very time consuming. The present method for creating a medical report, therefore, comprises examining at least one of a patient or test results of a patient, summarizing findings of the examination, having access to previously created phrases describing in greater detail at least one of the summarized findings, choosing at least one of the previously created phrases based upon at least one of the summarized findings, and generating a report utilizing the previously created phrases.
