20140308411 | METHOD OF PROCESSING A GRAIN PRODUCT - A method of preparing a shelf-stable processed grain product includes a series of heating and cooling steps performed on a processed grain product having a water activity value of about 0.65 or less. A first heating step takes the grain pieces to a first elevated temperature, which is followed by a first cooling step. The grain pieces are passed to a second heating step to reach a second elevated temperature, followed by a second cooling step. The grain pieces are then passed to a third heating step, after which they are sufficiently soft and pliable for a final forming step such as flaking, bumping, puffing, or the like. This allows grain pieces that are suitable for long term storage, but too brittle for final forming, to be softened for final forming without raising the moisture content to a point that is conducive to mold formation or reduced product quality. | 10-16-2014 |

20150283798 | METHODS FOR OPERATING A DEBONDER - Methods for releasing a device substrate temporarily bonded by a bonding layer to a carrier substrate. A dissolution head is engaged with the carrier substrate and a first dissolution process is performed to partially remove the bonding layer. After the first dissolution process is completed, the dissolution head is disengaged from the carrier substrate, and then re-engaged with the carrier substrate. In response to re-engaging the dissolution head with the carrier substrate, a second dissolution process is performed to further remove the bonding layer remaining after the first dissolution process. | 10-08-2015 |

20130331078 | System And Method To Inhibit User Text Messaging On A Smartphone While Traveling In A Motor Vehicle - A system is disclosed for selectively inhibiting text message operation of a smartphone being used by a user while travelling in a motor vehicle, where the motor vehicle incorporates a vehicle audio subsystem. A smartphone may have a detection circuit and a processor. The detection circuit detects a signal from the audio system that indicates to the smartphone that the smartphone is located within the vehicle. A navigation system may also be included in the smartphone that generates navigation signals indicating when the smartphone is in motion. The processor receives the navigation signals and, using a software module, inhibits text messaging operation on the smartphone while the vehicle is detected to be in motion. | 12-12-2013 |

20130339219 | Interactive Finance And Asset Management System - A computer implemented method and system provides an asset management application (AMP) for monitoring and managing assets, and interactable interface elements on a graphical user interface (GUI) for enabling configuration and access of asset information and computations on the GUI. The AMP receives inputs associated with an asset, for example, an adjustable or a fixed rate loan on the asset. The AMP determines one or more financial components of expenditure and financial outcomes of a sale of an asset over a configurable duration of time based on the received inputs and/or the user's and/or the asset's geographical location. The AMP dynamically renders one or more interactive graphical models of the financial components of expenditure and the financial outcomes that are configurably accessible and modifiable on the GUI using the interactable interface elements. The AMP facilitates communication of the interactive graphical models and updates thereof between users and financial entities. | 12-19-2013 |

20130294822 | DRIVE SHAFT ADAPTOR AND COUPLING - An apparatus and method for connecting a drive shaft end to a vehicle drive flange of the type that has six equally spaced, axially directed threaded bores. The apparatus includes a yoke member defining a pair of ears for receiving pin members defined by the drive shaft. The yoke member has at least four equally spaced apart axial through bores that are alignable with four of the bores in the drive flange. Fasteners extending through the through bores are threadably received by the aligned drive flange bores and clamp the yoke member to the drive flange. At least one, but preferably two, drive pins are threadably received by two of the six drive flange bores and include portions that are received by associated bores in the yoke member and are preferably sized to tightly fit the bores in a torque transmitting relationship. | 11-07-2013 |
