  • Publication number: 20070131215
    Abstract: A continuous cooking oven system including enclosure containing a first cooking chamber in communication with a second cooking chamber to efficiently and effectively cook and brown food products. The continuous cooking oven system includes an first conveyor for transporting food products through a helical path within the first cooking chamber, a fan for circulating a heated gaseous cooking medium throughout the first cooking chamber, a second conveyor for transporting food products through a linear path within the second cooking chamber, at least one impingement air flow distribution chamber disposed above the second conveyor within the second cooking chamber and at least one impingement air flow distribution chamber disposed below the second conveyor within the second cooking chamber, the impingement air flow distribution chambers circulating a heated gaseous cooking medium throughout the second cooking chamber.

  • Publication number: 20060157469
    Abstract: A cooking oven and method of use includes a housing defining a cooking chamber with a cooking surface extending there through. A plurality of radiant emitter plates are arranged along an inner surface of the housing, preferably in strips or arrays, and directed toward the cooking surface. Each strip or array of radiant emitter plates may be independently controllable from each other. In addition, a distance between the plurality of radiant emitter plates and the cooking surface may be adjustable.

  • Patent number: 6871962
    Abstract: A one piece, double gland, quad lobe design gasket system for use in a projection system that redundantly seals in the liquid present in a coupler supporting a projection lens in alignment with a projection optical signal generation device (e.g., a Cathode Ray Tube). The coupler defines a cooling chamber between said projection lens and said projection signal generating device and is filled with liquid in order to transport the optical signal between the projection optical signal generation device and projection lens while minimizing contrast distortion. In order to prevent leaking from the cooling chamber between the coupler and projection signal generation device, an improved sealing system is used by providing two separate channels in the coupler and using the integral double gland, quad lobe gasket. Each gland is placed in a corresponding groove in the coupler thus creating two separate lines of seal that keeps the liquid in the coupler from leaking out.

  • Publication number: 20040160580
    Abstract: A bubble trap for use in a projection system that reduces distortions caused by bubbles that occur in the coupler supporting a projection lens in alignment with a projection optical signal generation device (e.g., a Cathode Ray Tube). The coupler defines a cooling chamber between said projection lens and said projection signal generating device and is filled with liquid in order to transport the optical signal between the projection optical signal generation device and projection lens while minimizing contrast distortion. The bubble trap is an optical blocking system that is responsive to the angle of the coupler in the projection product and prevents the light from the optical signal path from striking the bubbles in the liquid in the coupler.

  • Patent number: 6245127
    Abstract: A low pressure swing adsorption process and apparatus for the recovery of carbon dioxide from multi-component gas mixtures, utilizing the simultaneous purge and evacuation of opposite ends of the adsorber(s) to effect controlled depressurization in the adsorber bed(s) to maintain the constant purity of a carbon dioxide-enriched product stream recovered from the adsorber inlet(s).

  • Patent number: 6027548
    Abstract: The invention comprises a PSA apparatus for the separation of a heavy component from a light component in a feed stream. The apparatus includes an adsorbent bed comprising either a mixture of adsorbents or composite adsorbent particles wherein each particle comprises two or more adsorbents. At least one of the adsorbents is comparatively weak and the other is comparatively strong. Another embodiment of the invention is a PSA prepurifier having a bed of adsorbent material which comprises a mixture of, or composite adsorbent particles wherein each particle comprises at least two adsorbents, at least one of the adsorbents being comparatively strong and at least another of the adsorbents being comparatively weak.
