  • Patent number: 11034469
    Abstract: A food package for sliced food products to be maintained with a fluffed appearance, the package including a rigid base member forming a compartment for receiving the food product and a rigid lid sealed to the compartment. Advantageously, the base member includes a bottom wall and side wall portions that are configured to engage the food product to hold the slices in a fluffed arrangement thereof. Preferably, one or more tapered side wall portions hold the food product upwardly toward the lid and inwardly toward a center of the package. In preferred embodiments, the base member and lid provide a rigid-rigid construction of the food package. In preferred embodiments, the food package is also configured to stand-up in a vertical display orientation and does not require the food product be contained within a sealed pouch within the compartment.

  • Patent number: 6408361
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for allowing autonomous, way specific tag updates. More specifically, the invention provides way specific tag and status updates while concurrently allowing reads of the ways not currently being updated. If a read hit is determined, then the read is processed in a typical fashion. However, if the read is a read miss and one of the ways is flagged as being updated, then all ways are read again once the specific way has completed its updated.
