Abstract: A modified housing and adapter prevent unwanted contact during the mating of fiber-optic connectors by using positive features and negative features in the housing, while the modified adapter presents negative features and positive features in mating of the two structures.

Abstract: A process for mitigating acrylamide formation in a formed potato aggregate is disclosed. The acrylamide formation is mitigated while the color formation of the formed potato aggregate is managed. The resulting reconstituted potato aggregate includes low acrylamide levels while exhibiting acceptable organoleptic properties such as taste, color, and texture.

Abstract: A process for mitigating acrylamide formation in a potato fry is disclosed. The acrylamide formation is mitigated while the color formation of the potato fry is managed. The resulting potato fry includes low acrylamide levels while exhibiting acceptable organoleptic properties such as taste, color and texture.

Abstract: A process for mitigating acrylamide formation in fried potato products is disclosed. The acrylamide formation is mitigated while the color formation of the fried potato product is managed. The resulting fried potato product includes low acrylamide levels while exhibiting acceptable organoleptic properties such as taste, color and texture.

Abstract: There is provided a vault cover assembly including a vault frame and a vault door. The vault door is pivotally connected to the vault frame. The vault door is pivotable between open and closed positions relative to the vault frame. A spring-biased support arm is connected to the vault door and is moveable between locked and unlocked configurations relative to the vault door. The spring-biased support arm is biased toward the locked configuration. The spring-biased support arm includes a locking member that is engageable with the vault frame when the spring-biased support arm is in the locked configuration. The vault door is disposed in the open position upon engagement between the locking member and the vault frame. The vault door is pivotable between the open and closed positions when the spring-biased support arm is in the unlocked configuration.

Abstract: A vault cover assembly including a vault door and a vault frame is disclosed. The vault door may be rotatably mounted to the vault frame, and have an open first position and a second closed position. The vault cover assembly may include a biasing member with a first arm and a second arm. There may also be a support member which cooperates with the biasing member. The vault cover assembly may also include a lever lock rotatably mounted to the vault door, which may include a latch configured to engage a latch stop mounted to the vault frame.

Abstract: An adjustable seat support assembly for a wheelchair. The seat support assembly includes a seat bottom frame and a seat back frame. The seat bottom frame has at least two spaced apart beams. Each beam includes at least one channel that extends along at least a portion of the beam. Preferably the channel extends along the entire length of the beam. A seat plate is mounted to and extends between the beams. The seat back frame includes two vertical supports. Each support has an upper end and a lower end. At least one back frame cross-bar is attached to and extends between the vertical supports. A mounting bracket is attached to the lower end of each support and removably attached to a channel in one of the beams. Preferably there are two or more channels formed in each beam, one channel in the bottom and the other in the side.
