A math learning process uses a first set of dice and a second set of dice. The process includes configuring the first set of dice and the second set of dice to respectively produce equal probabilities of occurrence of two different sums. A first player rolls the first set of dice and records the sum. A second player rolls the second set of dice and records the sum. These steps are repeated until one of the first player and the second player rolls a particular sum a predetermined number of times. Other dice configurations facilitate focus on specific math facts and operations.

A stabilized, natural biogenerated cheddar flavor component, which may be used to prepare food products having flavor characteristics of traditional style cheeses, and a process for manufacturing the biogenerated cheddar flavor component is provided. The cheese flavor component is stabilized against the growth of spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms therein. The stabilized cheese flavor component is achieved by addition of a bacteriocin source as part of the fermentation process that accelerates at least part of the fermentation time needed for flavor development. Inclusion of secondary microbial barriers are also provided for. Therefore, production times can be significantly reduced for the flavor component of the present invention without loss of flavor and while improving microbial stability. The flavor component can be used in process cheese, process cheese-type products, or other cheeses. The flavor component can also be used as a natural flavoring system in other food products. Methods of making and using the flavor component in food products, such as cheese products, are also provided.

A filter element for use in a reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, membranes and spacers membrane-bioreactor, forward osmosis, or other filtration system, includes a permeate carrier substrate having a wrapped core tube. The permeate carrier includes a series of spaced ribs. The ribs are formed by application of yarns, strings or resinous or polymeric materials to a membrane substrate. The ribs define channels for passage of a liquid or gas permeate therealong. The permeate is received at the core tube which has one or more elongated flow recesses therealong to facilitate collection of the permeate.

A winding machine for winding wire on a stator stack for a dynamo-electric machine including a wire supply, a stripper station for selectively stripping wire at predetermined locations, a wire feed mechanism and winding station including a winding spindle movable in reciprocating and oscillating movement. The feed mechanism is capable of conveying plural wires to the winding spindle including three pairs of wires to respective exit apertures on the winding spindle. The winding station includes twisting assemblies, where a twisting assembly is provided for each pair of wires for twisting the pair of wires together and for gripping and manipulating the wires during a winding operation.

Match engine systems and methods that allow for rapid processing of orders are provided. Pending orders are arranged as a non-indexed collection of orders and may be stored in the cache memory of a processor. The physical locations of pending orders stored in the cache memory may correspond to the order in which they were received at a match engine. New orders are compared to orders in the non-indexed collection of orders in an attempt to match orders.

An interbody device for the fixation and support of adjacent bone bodies includes a body for implantation at a location between the two vertebrae and one or more protrusions extending from the body. The protrusion(s) are configured for engagement with one of the vertebrae upon implantation and for progressive penetration into the vertebra over a period of time subsequent to the implantation.

A pool cleaning tool for producing one water jet directed toward an area to be cleaned and a second water jet directed away from the area to be cleaned includes a substantially rigid water conduit having an upper end and a lower end. The lower end has an opening therein defining an outlet and an inlet extends into the water conduit and is positioned generally adjacent to the upper end. A coupler is fluidly coupled to the inlet for releasably coupling a water supply hose to the water conduit. A tubular member is fluidly coupled to the lower end of the water conduit. The tubular member has a first aperture and a second aperture therein. The first and second apertures are positioned on generally opposite sides of the tubular member. Each of the first and second apertures is angled downward.

A hybrid fuel vaporization system and an apparatus for producing power from a source of liquid fuel. The hybrid fuel vaporizing system includes at least one capillary flow passage, the at least one capillary flow passage having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end in fluid communication with the source of liquid fuel; a heat source arranged along said at least one capillary flow passage, the heat source operable to heat the liquid fuel in the at least one capillary flow passage to a level sufficient to change at least a portion thereof from a liquid state to a vapor state; and a vaporizing member having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface exposed to heat produced by the apparatus for combusting fuel, the vaporizing member positioned so that fuel exiting the outlet end of said at least one capillary flow passage impinges on the second surface, whereby a stream of substantially vaporized fuel is delivered for combustion.

A process of producing a uniform fiber dispersion involves the use of an in-line dispersing chamber to provide an average fiber dwell time of only about ten minutes and less. The chamber is provided with a plurality of weedless, nonthrusting impellers that generate regions of reduced pressure and flow disruptive turbulence of high intensity, the turbulence being of sufficient intensity to rapidly open fiber bundles and disperse the individual long fibers during said dwell time within said chamber. The process produces a machine-made light weight glass fiber web material of exceptionally uniform fiber distribution. The web is comprised of micron diameter glass fibers having a fiber length of about 1/4 inch or more and a basis weight of about 5-30 grams/square meter. The web material exhibits an isolated multi-fiber defect count of less than 10 per 100 square feet and a visually perceptible overall uniform fiber distribution essentially devoid of "cloud effect" fiber density variations.

A tufted nonwoven web material exhibiting high loft, bulk and absorbency is made by a papermaking technique using an apertured, plate-like, fiber collecting element having a structure appropriate to preventing entanglement between adjacent tufts prior to removal from the element. The tufted nonwoven fibrous web exhibits inwardly turned, spirally consolidated and entangled individual tuft head portions and substantially aligned and untwisted root portions interconnecting the head portion to the undisturbed planar main body of the web material.
