International Classification:

US Classification:

707 6

Abstract:

A system for use with a database selects keywords from a restricted keyword list for both updating and searching (i. e. bi-directional keyword translation). A keyword translator accepts a user entered keyword and selects a restricted keyword for use (e. g. , entry or search) with a database. The keyword entered may be chosen by the user based on the user's preference. The system compares the user-entered keyword with a list of restricted keywords to determine whether there exists in the list of restricted keywords a matching restricted keyword corresponding to the user-entered keyword. If there is a restricted keyword in the list of restricted keywords that corresponds to the user-entered keyword, the system selects the matching restricted keyword for use with the database. If there is not a matching restricted keyword in the list of restricted keywords corresponding to the user-entered keyword, the system compares the user-entered keyword with a list of synonyms to find in the list of synonyms a synonym that corresponds to the user-entered keyword. Each synonym in the list is associated with a restricted keyword.

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes an ultrasonic rotary molding system that is used to form edible compositions or food products as they move along a conveyor belt. The food products are formed by an ultrasonic rotary wheel that includes one or more cutting tools that cut, and perhaps three dimensionally mold, food product strips. The system may include a movable backing plate that is located below the point where the ultrasonic rotary wheel cuts the food product strips. The movable backing plate may be spring loaded and it may exert force upwards against the conveyor belt and in turn against the food product.
