61 Method for creating a relief mold for comestible products US10758236 2004-01-15 US07144594B2 2006-12-05 James F. Woodhouse; Stan Holtom; John R. Russell; Angela Wright
A method for applying a color image to a non-planar comestible may include applying a color image onto a substantially planar carrier and deforming the carrier to form a non-planar relief mold of a three-dimensional image, including deforming the color image whereby the deformed color image is proportionate relative to, i.e., is in register with, the three-dimensional image. A comestible material, e.g., chocolate, may be deposited into the relief mold to substantially overlie the color image. The comestible material may be removed from the relief mold, with the color image applied thereto. In one implementation, the color image may be applied to the substantially planar carrier by screen printing one or more colors forming the color image onto the carrier using an edible ink composition.

A system and method for managing energy consumption of a building system includes a source of actual energy consumption data, a source of actual weather data, and a database correlating discrete weather data values with expected energy consumption values for at least one component of the building system. A computer accesses the actual weather data, actual energy consumption data and database, wherein the computer compares the expected energy consumption values with actual energy consumption data and generates an output based on the comparison. The expected energy consumption values are generated for the discrete weather data values using an energy consumption model that functionally relates discrete weather data values and design information for the building system component.
65 Packaging food products US10070570 2000-09-08 US06964145B1 2005-11-15 Liam Michael O'Gallcobhair
A process for packaging a food product such as soft ice-cream, frozen yogurt or the like in a single-serving package comprises a continuous in-line system in which a pot (9) is formed in a deformable bottom web (2) of plastics material and a lid (12) with dispensing aperture (14) is formed in a top web (4) of plastics material. Food product is filled into the formed pot and the webs are brought together in register with a lid aligned over the mouth of the pot. The lid is sealed to the pot at a sealing station and the aperture in the lid is covered and sealed with a peel-off tab or label (16). To dispense the product for consumption, the tab is removed and the product is extruded by pressing down on the deformable pot to collapse it, forcing the product through the aperture in the lid. To facilitate this, at least a portion of the lid is formed so as to be sufficiently rigid as to provide a bearing surface toward which the pot can be collapsed. In an alternative arrangement, the bearing surface can be provided by a rigid insert (34) placed in the package between the food product and the lid and in this case the lid may be formed from a flimsy material.

69 Method and system for molding ice cream novelties and cakes US10278196 2002-10-22 US20040076727A1 2004-04-22 Russ L'Hommedieu
A method and system for making ice cream novelties and cakes is shown, including selecting a mold comprised of a flexible, elastomeric, silicone-based material (preferably a combination of GE 6035 and GE 6075), obtaining ice cream in a temperature range between 0nullF. to 20nullF., folding the ice cream into the selected mold to create a molded material, adding layers or filling if desired, allowing the molded material to harden at a time and temperature sufficient to permit minimal to optimal hardness for demolding without sacrifice of integrity of the molded material, and demolding the molded material from the mold. The mold combination is 25% and 75% of GE 6035 and GE 6075, respectively. Where the selected mold is an ice cream pop mold of a size 8 cm by 4.7 cm by 2.5 cm, the minimal unmolding occurs at null10null F. at 52 minutes and optimal unmolding occurs at null14null F. at one hour. Where the selected mold is a deep small cake mold 20 cm round by 4.5 cm deep, the minimal unmolding occurs at 0null F. at one hour and twenty-two minutes and optimal unmolding occurs at null5null F. at one hour and forty five minutes. Where the selected mold is a deep large cake mold 24 cm round by 5.7 cm deep, the minimal unmolding occurs at 0null F. at two hours and twenty two minutes and optimal unmolding occurs at null5null F. at two hours and forty five minutes.

72 Food quality and safety model for refrigerated food US10084618 2002-02-27 US06668240B2 2003-12-23 Abtar Singh; Thomas J. Mathews; Neal Starling; Paul Wickberg
A system is provided for monitoring the food product and refrigeration system performance of a remote location. The system includes a management center in communication with a remote location through a communications network. The management center receives performance information of the remote location with respect to operational parameters of components of a refrigeration system of the remote location, and temperature data, at which food product has been stored. The management center utilizes software modules to analyze the performance information and provide alarms for scenarios such as food safety and quality issues, failure of a component of the refrigeration system or preventative maintenance for components of the refrigeration system. A third party computer may also communicate with the management center and the remote location for reviewing performance information.
73 Food-quality and shelf-life predicting method and system US10061958 2002-02-01 US20020163436A1 2002-11-07 Abtar Singh; Thomas J. Mathews; Neal Starling; Paul Wickberg
A system is provided for monitoring the food product of a remote food product retailer. The system includes a management center in communication with the remote food product retailer via a communication network. The communication network is accessible via a user interface that may be located at any of the management center, the remote location or some other location. The management center gathers food product temperature information and uses that information to determine whether the shelved food product is within acceptable food safety and quality limits. If the food product exceeds these limits, an alarm is sounded at either the management center and the remote location. The user interface is operable to monitor the status of the food product via a selection of screens and remotely respond to the alarms.

80 Method for preparing ice for transportation US775423 1991-10-15 USRE34533E 1994-02-08 Freddie J. Wigley
A method for preparing a quantity of ice for transportation to a remote location consisting of bagging a plurality of bags of ice, then stacking the frozen bags of ice vertically on a pallet to a predetermined height. The pallet is wrapped with a material to form a first assembled unit. The unit is then placed in a freezer having a temperature at or below 20.degree. F. for a period of time sufficient to set the product. Once "set", the unit is boxed in a rigid container having sidewalls and a lid. The sidewalls are banded to form a rigid second assembly and the second assembly which is returned to the freezer for storage until it is transported to a remote location.
