Abstract: Paperboard packaging for non-refrigerated liquid products and for dry products contains a buried polyvinyl alcohol copolymer (PVOH) barrier layer which has a low oxygen permeability particularly at low relative humidity, and outer heat-sealable surfaces which provide good resistance to moisture penetration and a means for fabricating the packaging.

Abstract: Reconfigurable interrupt circuitry may provide differing interrupt output signals to various interrupt receiving devices which are adapted to be driven by interrupt circuits having differing drive characteristics. Control signals representative of the device characteristics of the interrupt receiving device are applied to the reconfigurable interrupt circuitry and output characteristics of the reconfigurable interrupt circuitry are selected according to the control signals. In this manner the reconfigurable interrupt circuitry may by adapted to drive interrupt receiving devices which are compatible with active high interrupt output, active low interrupt output, open drain interrupt output, totem pole interrupt output, tristate interrupt output and non tristate interrupt output.

Abstract: A synchronized clocking circuit receives a clock signal and, in accordance with the received clock signal, provides a divided-down clock signal having a known phase relationship with respect to the received clock signal upon reset. In order to provide the known phase relationship, and therefore to synchronize the received clock signal and the divided-down clock signal, a cycle of the divided down clock signal is selectably skipped. A reset signal is conditioned and applied to an active going edge detector. The cycle of the divided down clock is selectably skipped according to the active going edge detector.

Abstract: A composite material package in the configuration of a fluid confining tray or bowl is fabricated with a corrugated paperboard structural substrate and internally sealed with a blow mold applied film of polymer.

Abstract: Reduced calorie french fries and other high moisture fat-coated foods having less greasiness are disclosed. Such products are typically obtained by applying to the surface of the french fry, or other food, reduced calorie fat compositions having particular fluid viscosity characteristics that correlate to reduced greasiness impressions. These reduced calorie fat compositions comprise a nondigestible fat, and optionally, a triglyceride fat or oil. The nondigestible fat in general comprises a liquid nondigestible oil and a sufficient amount of a nondigestible solid polyol polyester to control passive oil loss typically associated with the ingestion of liquid nondigestible oils.

Abstract: A bottle type container is fabricated by blow molding a continuous wall liner of thermoplastic polymer integrally to the interior wall surface of an oppositely matched pair of paperboard cladding jackets. Paperboard cladding jackets respective to each pair are joined substantially edge-to-edge along the meeting seam exclusively by the continuous liner wall lap. For container stability when resting on a flat surface, at least one folded ridge is formed in the bottom edge panel of both jackets.

Abstract: A hand operated bending tool for bending convoluted tubes, pipes, and other tubular material, with the tool providing a tool handle socket and a flexible tube gripping band that, upon initial movement of the tool, will grip and secure the free end of the tube to the bending shoe of the tool.
