摘要:
A cold water-soluble quick-setting low methoxyl pectin dry mix composition providing smooth, continuous and uniform gels having good texture and mouth-feel characteristics is prepared by combining a low methoxyl pectin which has been co-dried with a protective amount of buffer and a solubilizing amount of sugar with a slowly soluble calcium ion source in an amount sufficient for gel formation and a slowly dissolving edible acid in an amount which will provide a final pH of from about 3.5 to 4.5 upon dissolution of the mix in water.

The present invention provides a knife block apparatus in combination with different utilities, such as a speaker and/or a display device, resulting in a compact and portable apparatus that saves floor space and provides different utilities in a single apparatus. The knife block apparatus is comprised of a knife block that has at least one slot for at least one knife, at least one speaker that is integrated into the knife block, a music player receptacle that is built into the knife block for receiving and holding a music player, such as but not limited to an MP3, and a knife-sharpening unit that is coupled to the base of the knife block. The knife block apparatus may optionally contain a computing device and a display for playing videos and other culinary content, such as recipes. The apparatus is elegant and commercially advantageous through playing coded culinary content from sponsors.
摘要:
An apparatus for scrubbing and mopping a surface, which comprises, a supporting carrier, including a block and scrubbing structure carried by the carrier, to project toward the surface for scrubbing that surface; a first structure for attaching an elongated handle to the carrier to extend in a first direction from the carrier; and structure for attaching a mop to the carrier with mop strands extending in generally parallel relation with that surface and in mopping contact therewith as the scrubbing structure simultaneously engages that surface, for simultaneous mopping and scrubbing of that surface, as the handle extends at an angle to the surface to displace the carrier, scrubbing structure and mop parallel to the floor surface; and including the mop having a head band attached to the carrier at a first side of the carrier, there being at least two grommets attached to the head band to define through openings for passing fasteners that attach the mop to the carrier. Surface treatment methods are also provided, and involving related applications of pesticide and restorative or traction materials.

An apparatus for scrubbing and mopping a surface, comprising in combination, a supporting carrier, including a block and scrubbing media carried by the carrier, to project toward the surface for scrubbing that surface; first structure for attaching an elongated handle to the carrier to extend in a first direction from the carrier; and second manually manipulable structure for attaching a mop to the carrier, with mop strands extending in generally parallel relation with that surface and in mopping contact therewith, as the scrubbing media simultaneously engages that surface, for simultaneous mopping and scrubbing of that surface, as the handle extends at an angle to the surface to displace the carrier, bristles and mop parallel to the surface.
摘要:
Lithographic printing constructions are removable from a permanent support, which may be a metal sheet affixable (usually by clamps) to a plate cylinder, or may instead be the permanent surface of such a cylinder. In this way, the traditional "plate" is replaced with a thin, easily manufactured printing member, which is separated from the support following its use.
摘要:
A container is provided for slurry; an impeller is provided to effect slurry movement in the container; and a vibrator is operated for transmitting sufficient vibration to the moving slurry to lower the water/cement ratio to a low level, and at a water temperature within a specified range. The location of vibration transmission from the vibrator can be adjusted along the wall of the container.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for imaging lithographic plates using laser devices that emit in the near-infrared region, and plates suitable for imaging with the apparatus and methods. Laser output either ablates one or more plate layers or physically transforms a surface layer, in either case resulting in an imagewise pattern of features on the plate. The image features exhibit an affinity for ink or an ink-abhesive fluid that differs from that of unexposed areas.
摘要:
Printing apparatus has at least one print station including a blanket cylinder in rolling contact with an impression cylinder, a print cylinder for supporting a lithographic plate, the plate cylinder being in rolling contact with the blanket cylinder, at least one discharge source for applying an image to a plate supported by the plate cylinder, and a motor for moving the energy source relative to the plate cylinder so that when the plate cylinder is rotated, the discharge source scans a raster on the surface of the plate supported by the plate cylinder. The apparatus may be configured as an in-line or central-impression type press. A controller responsive to picture signals representing an original document repeatedly actuates each discharge source momentarily during the scan thereof so that the discharge source forms on the plate surface an image comprised of dots corresponding to the original document. The controller includes a dot-position look-up table for storing the x and y coordinates of substantially all dot positions on the plate and is arranged to actuate each energy source to form image dots at selected ones of the dot positions when said picture signals are present. The apparatus also includes provision for regulating the ink applied to the plate at each print station.
摘要:
A pitch-and-roll adjustment mechanism for use in conjunction with a spark-discharge writing head. The mechanism provides structure for adjusting the physical position of the writing head with respect to a recording medium, and includes a flexure plate capable of flexing through a limited arc in two axes without permanent deformation.
