Patent number: 11234444Abstract: The continuous pasteurization system (100) that pasteurizes raw food products (104) while substantially maintaining the raw state of the raw food products includes a conveyor (102) on which the raw food products (104) are loaded for delivery to a pasteurization apparatus 36, wherein the raw food products are quickly heated so that the temperature of the outer surface of the raw food products is raised sufficiently to achieve a desired pathogen kill level. Thereafter, the raw food products (104) are immediately cooled in a cooling apparatus (110) to remove the heat applied to the raw food product and maintain the substantial raw state of the raw food product. A control system (24) is connected to a processor (30) as well as various measuring devices and instruments, including temperature measurement devices (T1-T5) to control the operation of the pasteurization system (100).Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: John Bean Technologies CorporationInventors: Ramesh M.

Patent number: 10915485Abstract: A circuit for asynchronous data transfer includes a slave device having an asynchronous slave clock for transferring data to a master device having a master clock. The slave clock is a non-continuous clock signal. The slave device includes a clock detection circuit, a register bank, a temporary storage register, and a datapath selector. The slave device receives a data transfer command from the master device. The clock detection circuit detects a presence of the slave clock signal and generates a sync signal. To transfer the data to the master device, the datapath selector selects one of the temporary storage register and the register bank based on the sync signal. The slave device ensures seamless data transfer to the master device regardless of the presence or absence of the slave clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Deepika Chandra, Ramesh M. Sangolli

Publication number: 20200371977Abstract: In a network having a master node and slave nodes connected in a daisy-chain configuration, the master transmits a chip select (CS) signal that selectively enables the slaves to perform network operations. The master controls multiple non-bypassed slaves to operate in a burst mode, where each of the multiple slaves reads or writes multiple sets of data within a single CS strobe. The non-bypassed slaves use the total number of slaves in the network (NUM_SLAVES) to determine when to operate in burst mode. The network supports operations in which the master determines and then serially broadcasts NUM_SLAVES to the slaves. The network also supports bypass-slave operations that bypass individual slaves and single-slave operations. The network can read and/or write data faster than conventional SPI daisy-chain networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2019Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Ramesh M. Sangolli, Deepika Chandra

Patent number: 9814775Abstract: A composition comprising a high purity cannabinoid, an acid, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable solvent achieves room temperature stability for over 24 months. The acid improves the stability of the composition and the solvent enhances the solubility of the acid, thereby allowing the acid to have an improved stabilizing effect on the highly pure cannabinoid. Preferably, the solvent is an alcohol and, more preferably, the composition contains an oil. A method for making the composition includes combining the cannabinoid and the solvent and evaporating a portion of the solvent, along with adding an acid to the composition, before, during, or after the evaporating step. A method for making and storing the composition includes storing the composition in a manner adapted to maintain its stability. Pharmaceutical dosage forms include a formulated composition, such as having the oil. A method of treating a subject comprises administering to the subject the dosage form.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventors: Ronald Rossi, Lee Jonathan Silverberg, Robert Hogan, Ramesh M.
