Abstract: A compact, low power gate apparatus for use in coin operated machines, such as coin operated telephones, utilizes an inclined diverting surface (55) and adjacent, coupled levers to decrease power requirements, multiply displacements and save space. A selectively energizable solenoid (36) associated with a first lever (32) moves the levers from a first to a second position when the solenoid is energized, and maintains them in their first position until the solenoid is energized again. A spring (62) restores the levers to their first position when the solenoid is no longer energized and maintains the levers in their first position until the solenoid is energized again. The second lever (46) has a coin diverting plate which is selectively positioned to divert a coin to a particular path or allow the coin to continue along the same path.

Abstract: A coin dispenser drops a coin (16) onto a surface (18) for transport to a dispensing area (14). To damp the circular rolling motion of the coin (16) after it falls onto the surface (18), the surface (18) has a strip (24) onto which the coin (16) rolls, thereby bringing the coin (16) quickly to rest.

Abstract: Immobilized acid producing bacteria are delivered to a food system at a time in which the food system would normally be considered too hot for live cultures to withstand. The live cultures then inhibit spoilage organisms in the food system by the production of acid. If abuse temperatures occur during the storage of the food, the production of the acid is increased. The increased production of the acid is easily detectable.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a process for par-boiling rice, comprising the steps of: (a) treating the rice with water at a temperature up to its boiling point to increase its water content to 17 to 28 %; (b) steaming the soaked rice at a temperature from 100 to 125°C to increase its water content to 19 to 30 %; (c) heating the steamed rice, in a sealed vessel, under pressure and using dry heat, to a minimum temperature of approximately t°C, wherein t = 195 - 2.5 M and M is the moisture content of the steamed rice in %, for from 1 to 5 minutes; (d) reducing the pressure on the rice over a period of 1 to 10 minutes to atmospheric pressure, thereby allowing water to evaporate from the heated rice to reduce its temperature to approximately 100°C and its water content to 17 to 24 %; and (e) drying the partially dried rice to microbiological stability. The product of the present invention has better consumer appeal than conventional par-boiled rice.

Abstract: This invention concerns a heat-resistant or thermally robust chocolate and method for making same. The inventive method provides a means of adding moisture to chocolate through use of reverse micelle technology to form a stable water-in-oil emulsion, for example, hydrated lecithin. The stable water-in-oil emulsion is added to tempered chocolate during processing, and upon aging and stabilization, thermal robustness develops in the chocolate product. The heat-resistant chocolate of the instant invention is suitable for use in the same manner and for the same purposes for which ordinary chocolate is used. The invention provides a heat-resistant chocolate product having the desired taste, texture, mouth feel and other characteristics of ordinary chocolate.
