US Classification:

370248, 370227

Abstract:

A method and system for determining a path between nodes in a network are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a system for determining a path between nodes in a network comprises a destination node and a link aggregation group (LAG) that includes a first link and a second link. The system further comprises a source node communicatively coupled to the destination node by the LAG where the source node, the LAG and the destination node form a path. The source node is operable to determine a link availability status for each of the first and second links using a layer-2 protection scheme. The source node is further operable to monitor the path for connectivity based on the link availability status using a layer-3 protection scheme.

International Classification:

A23N 7/01
A23N 7/02
A23N 7/00

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for causing attrition to an outer surface of a food product to provide a removed portion of the food product and a remainder of the food product. In a first aspect, an abrasive stream contacts the outer surface of the food product, thereby separating at least a portion of the outer surface of the food product from the remainder of the food product to provide the removed portion of the food product. In a second aspect, the apparatus comprises a product positioner to position the food product in an attrition zone and a nozzle for discharging the abrasive stream into contact with the food product in the attrition zone. The abrasive stream can be food grade and can comprise a food grade fluid and a food grade abrasive, for example, air and salt, respectively.

International Classification:

A23N 7/02

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling a flow of a product over a product attrition bed, where the product comprises a plurality of product units, for example, potatoes. In one aspect, apparatus comprises a product attrition bed and an auger positioned above the product attrition bed. The auger comprises a flow restriction mechanism to restrict a discharge flow of the product from the auger. In a second aspect, the method comprises feeding the product to the auger to provide a product charge; substantially confining the product charge in a charge space; rotating the auger to move the charge space, and thereby the product charge, in the flow direction; and discharging the product charge from the auger through a flow restriction mechanism. In a third aspect, the method and apparatus controls the feed of product to the auger, for example, providing one control volume of product per revolution of the auger.
