  • Publication number: 20090049108
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for automatic workflow versioning. A workflow database can include metadata describing the relationships between data files, a workflow association and version/timestamp information such that relationships can be tracked against time and file versions. A system is provided to visualize a workflow and how it changes over time. A workflow navigator can be provided to allow a user to graphically “slide” back and forth in time between different workflow versions or points. Date/Time stamp information can be displayed and the workflow relationships and graphical thumbnails can change as the user hits dates/times where changes occurred. Further controls can be provided that allow the user to choose a previous version of a workflow from the timeline, and to bring forward in time the associated files and relationship information.

  • Publication number: 20070227368
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are described for demolding articles from molding trays, including confectionery articles such as molded chocolate pieces, utilizing the resonant frequency of the mold tray. The methods may also be used to improve the distribution of edible liquid starting material deposited in mold tray cavities utilizing the resonant frequency of the mold tray. The invention is also directed to a process for controlling molding and demolding processes, such as by determining an empty state of a demolded mold tray according to its characteristic resonant frequency.
