Abstract:
Methods and systems disclosed herein may be methods for rapidly increasing pressure in a pressure fryer cooking vessel during a cooking cycle. Such methods and systems may comprise determining whether a pressure output in the cooking vessel is closed. Such methods and system may also include determining a pressure of the cooking vessel, comparing the pressure of the cooking vessel to a predetermined optimal pressure to determine whether the pressure of the cooking vessel is less than the optimal pressure, and activating a filter pump configured to supply air from a drain pan into the cooking vessel in response to determining that the pressure output is closed and the pressure of the cooking vessel is less than the optimal pressure. Such methods and systems may further include deactivating the filter pump when the pressure within the cooking vessel is equal to or greater than the optimal pressure.
Abstract:
This invention provides a novel dicarboxylic acid salt forms of varenicline, namely varenicline fumarate, and methods for making same. Varenicline salts are useful for treating smoking addition. In one embodiment of the instant invention, the varenicline fumarate shows an XRD pattern (2θ)) (±0.2° having characteristic peaks at 10.6, 11.9, 13.2, 16.2, 16.6, 18.0, 21.5, 22.6, 25.7, 28.5 and 29.1°. In another embodiment, the varenicline fumarate is prepared by (i) contacting varenicline with fumaric acid, optionally in the presence of a suitable solvent, and removing the solvent when necessary, or (ii) contacting varenicline fumarate salt with a suitable solvent, and removing the solvent.

Abstract:
A basketball system may include a basketball goal and a support structure sized and configured to support the basketball goal at a desired height. The basketball goal may include a rim assembly, which may include a ring, one or more rim braces and one or more reinforcing members connected to the ring and the rim braces. The support structure may include a support pole. The basketball system may include a support member connected to a lower end of the support pole, which may form a generally T-shaped configuration. The support member may have a generally rigid construction and may be connected to a support surface to help secure the support pole in a generally fixed position. The basketball system may also include one or more braces that may have a low profile and that may be connected to the support pole and/or the support member.
