Appl. No.:

11/760647

Inventors:

Sean Francis O'Connor - San Francisco CA, US
Nathan Steck - Menlo Park CA, US

Assignee:

Blaster Food Technologies, LP - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

A21D 10/04

US Classification:

426549, 426116

Abstract:

In various embodiments of the present invention, a bakable batter mixed using cold process conditions and provided in a pressurized can, can be used to bake a variety of food products. In various embodiments of the present invention, a bakable batter mixed under inert atmosphere conditions and provided in a pressurized can, can be used to bake waffles and pancakes. Carbon dioxide is combined with a water-mixed dry batter recipe under pressure at reduced temperature to give a refrigerator stable batter mix. The carbon dioxide reduces the viscosity of the batter to allow the batter to be dispensed for the life time of the product. The carbon dioxide aerates the food product giving light and fluffy baked products. The carbon dioxide acts as a browning agent while the food product is baking to give a brownish appearance, crunchy texture and attractive taste to the food product.

US Classification:

705 38

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for a financial health indicator. The financial health indicator provides a dynamic indication of a user's financial health in terms of their current credit worthiness and their current ability to save in relation to a budget. In this regard, the financial health indicator is based on a user's credit report score, such as one or more FICO type credit scores and the user's savings as indicated by a budget tracking system. In embodiments of the invention in which the financial health indicator is implemented in conjunction with a budget tracking system, the financial health indicator provides necessary feedback to the user that serves to inform the user as to how they are performing in terms of staying on track to their individual budget allocations. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the provider of the budget tracking system may provide for awards based on achieving a predefined financial health indicator level and/or score.

US Classification:

029/407040, 029/840000, 029/739000

Abstract:

A process for assembling micro-optical systems, such as optoelectronic and/or fiber optic components uses solder self-alignment to achieve a coarse, passive alignment of optical components relative to the optical bench. The fine, final alignment is performed using plastic deformation of the optical components to thereby improve the alignment of the optical components. As a result, the sub-micrometer alignment accuracies are attainable, if required.

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/041

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

Gestures for converting from a position control mode to a motion continuation mode are disclosed. A position control mode can be invoked when the user simultaneously places two or more fingers upon a sensor panel. The fingers can then be moved around to effect position control. A motion continuation mode can be invoked when one or more fingers are lifted off (but at least one finger remains in contact with the sensor panel). If the motion continuation mode is invoked, a virtual control ring can be generated, and scrolling of the viewable area or dragging of the cursor or object can continue in a particular direction specified by a velocity vector pointed in the direction of finger movement at the time the motion continuation mode is invoked, and having a magnitude proportional to the velocity of the finger at the time the motion continuation mode was invoked.
