Abstract: The method includes providing a filler material that is water insoluble, the providing provides the filler material with more than 98% alpha-cellulose, 0.01% to less than 2% ash and a remainder hemicellulose, infusing at least one first consumable within the filler material and inserting a matrix within at least one first containing structure to form a capsule, the matrix including the filler material.

Abstract: A food tray cover comprising a frame, the frame dimensioned to seat atop a food tray, the frame including an upper surface having an outer edge, an inner edge, and a sidewall extending downwardly from the outer edge, the upper surface has an opening, the perimeter of the opening being defined by the inner edge of the upper surface; a lid rotatably attached to the frame over the opening formed therein, the lid being moveable between an open position and a closed position; means for biasing the lid between the closed position and the open position; and means for releasably locking the lid to the frame when in the closed position.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing a ferrous monolithic component and the component that results from the method. The method of the invention utilizes selective rapid cooling of the portion of the component that is desired to have increased strength and selective controlled cooling of the portion or portions which are desired to be more machinable. The controlled cooling may include cooling, re-heating and re-cooling. The result is a component with local high strength in the rapidly cooled zones and locally altered metallurgical properties to improve machinability in the more slowly cooled zones.
