Abstract: The present invention is incorporated in an automated multi-dish cooking machine that is internet enabled and can be programmed to cook multiple dishes at any given time. The cooking machine can also store various recipes and food can be cooked in different portion sizes from different parts of the world at the same time. Based on the selected recipe, various items can be dispensed in measured quantities to the cooking vessel. The cooking machine also includes stirring assembly that can mix and stir food ingredients at programmed time intervals as per the details of selected recipe. This cooking machine can be operated from a remote location and may be programmed to start cooking different meals within each cooking vessels at different times since all the recipes do not call for same time for the entire cooking process.

Abstract: A computer diskette burnishing machine that consists of two burnishing units adapted to operate on the magnetic medium of a conventional computer disk through the upper and lower read/write head access windows in the disk's protective shell. The assembled diskette is positioned on a lower burnishing unit that comprises a supporting plate having the same mechanical characteristics of a corresponding computer disk drive, including an electric motor equipped with a spindle/hub interface and shell registration pins. While the disk rotates, the burnishing units polish the disk's upper and lower surfaces by means of upper and lower abrasive tapes fed by a system of supply and take-up reels. The lower burnishing unit includes a resilient roller backing up the lower abrasive tape and disposed radially with respect to the plane of the disk. The upper burnishing unit consists of a spring-loaded resilient roller backing up the upper abrasive tape and disposed radially in parallel to the lower roller.

Abstract: A cassette assembly line including, a tape reel leadering and placement station having a table rotatable between reel supply, leader supply/clip/cutting and tape reel placement substations. The reel supply substation places unleadered tape reels in equally spaced relation on the rotary table. The table rotates to present unleadered tape reels to the leader supply/clip/cutting substation. A first reel is fed a leader supply, which leader is secured by a leader clip. The rotary table is then rotated so that the leader supply extends across a second and third tape reel, and leader clips secure the leader supply to the second and third tape reels. The leader is then cut between the second and third tape reels to form an exact length leader for the first and second tape reels. The leadered pair is then transferred to a cassette shell by the reel placement substation. In effect, the cut end still attached to the leader supply becomes the leader for the next pair.
