Patent number: 11878822Abstract: A filler head apparatus 20 for hygienically filling and emptying containers 22 through a fitment 24 incorporated with the container 22 includes a cylindrical outer housing 30 for receiving a hollow bore inner cylinder 32 which is actuated to simultaneously reciprocate and rotate about a central axis 33 within the outer housing. A transfer tube assembly 34 is mounted to the inner cylinder 32 to travel with the inner cylinder between an extended position engaged with the fitment 24 and a retracted position disengage from the fitment. When the transfer tube assembly is engaged with the fitment, flowable content or product may be transferred to or from the container 22.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: John Bean Technologies CorporationInventors: Jose Daniel Milla, Philip Gregory Hebbler, Brandon Coles

Publication number: 20230365282Abstract: An HPP system uses large polymer based bags (20) to increase the amount of food product or other flowable product that can fit into a HPP carrier (22). Each bag 20 has a filling fitment (24), to which a flow valve (26) can be attached. The bag (20) is inserted into the carrier (22) and then the fitment (24) is manually or automatically connected to a flow valve (26). Next, the product is pumped into the bag (20) through a hose or pipe (30) which is attached to the flow valve. Thereafter, the flow valve (26) is removed and the fitment closed, and then carrier (22) together with the bag is inserted into the HPP press for high pressure processing of the product. After the HPP process, the flow valve is used to un-fill the treated product from the bag (20).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Avure Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Jose Daniel Milla, Karl Magnus Malmberg, Ryan Pereira, Brandon Coles, Philip Gregory Hebbler

Publication number: 20230189822Abstract: Food preparation apparatus and associated methods. In one method, dough is proofed in an oven compartment and then baked in the same oven compartment. Temperature and/or humidity can be controlled during proofing and/or baking cycles. A blower may be used, for example, to exhaust gas to ambient to reduce heat and/or moisture in the compartment. For example, the blower may be used between proofing and baking cycles to prepare an environment in the oven compartment for the baking cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Robert J.

Publication number: 20220383133Abstract: A method reduces storage usage during processing of a neural network performed by an information processing apparatus comprising a storage. The network may be represented by operators that operate on an input feature map and generate an output feature map. A representation of the network is generated as a linear sequence of operators. Operators are identified in the sequence that cannot form part of a cascade and are to be processed with the entire input and output feature map of the respective operator in the storage. The method forms one or more cascades of two or more successive operators in the sequence for which the input feature map of each operator of the cascade is processed in portions, which portions are less than the entire input feature map.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Philip Gregory HALL, Jacob BOHLIN

Publication number: 20210152939Abstract: Embodiments may relate to an audio system for playback of an audio signal, for example in a motor vehicle. The audio system may include a virtualization speaker located in a position that would be in front of a listener of the audio system. The audio system may further include a user speaker located in a position that would be behind a listener of the audio system. In some embodiments the virtualization speaker may be configured to play a virtualization audio signal while the user speakers are configured to play an audio signal which at least partially overlaps the virtualization audio signal. In some embodiments the virtualization audio signal may be at a different volume or a different frequency range than the audio signal. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Boris LERNER, Robert ADAMS, Christopher HANNA, Kenneth MALSKY, Philip Gregory GEERLING, Alan Peter NORTON, Andre VAN SCHYNDEL
