20130302487 | SNACK/CONVENIENCE FOODS AND THE LIKE HAVING EXTERNAL AND/OR INTERNAL COATING COMPOSITIONS - The disclosure describes new forms of chip-type and other fried or baked snack-type and/or convenience food items, including sweet goods such as cookies, doughnuts, etc., which are externally coated with or which directly incorporate into their dough matrix certain starch-based compositions. Methods of using the compositions to make the food products, and the finished food products themselves are described. As external coatings the compositions significantly increase the crispness and tensile strength of the food item after it is cooked with the coating in place, and so change the organoleptic qualities as to provide a new form of the underlying food product. On sweet goods, the coating also provides a surface barrier that stabilizes sugar icing on the outside of the product, preventing it from becoming tacky, moist, or wet, while simultaneously reducing moisture loss from the dough, adding crispness at the surface and greatly retarding staling. | 11-14-2013 |

20120305229 | HEAT EXCHANGER AND RELATED METHODS - A heat exchanger and related methods are provided. An example heat exchanger has moveable or flexible joints between tubular members that contain flowing heating medium. The moveable joints allow the overall structure of the heat exchanger to adapt to expansion, contraction, and other stresses of high-temperature, high thermal-gradient operation. The moveable joints also provide breaks in the structure, enabling repair or replacement of parts. A negative internal pressure is maintained to prevent flue gases and heat from escaping through the moveable joints, and prevents contamination of the ambient environment and products being dried. Moveable support measures also allow each tier of tubes to expand or contract independently of each other to accommodate thermal gradients within a given tier of tubes, within a given manifold, and between tiers of tubes, so that virtually all of the thermal stresses associated with conventional heat exchangers are mitigated or eliminated. | 12-06-2012 |

Credentials identified as being of a privileged nature are treated with restricted access. Alternatively, credentials classified as being of a non-privileged nature are made available for the push service. Authentication servers register with the ACPS to become consumers of the push service. A push server within the ACPS pushes non-privileged authentication credentials to registered authentication servers at predetermined intervals. Individual authentication credentials push services (ACPS) have access to different authentication credentials.

20130191499 | Multi-domain configuration handling in an edge network server - An Internet infrastructure delivery platform operated by a provider enables HTTP-based service to identified third parties at large scale. The platform provides this service to one or more cloud providers. The approach enables the CDN platform provider (the first party) to service third party traffic on behalf of the cloud provider (the second party). In operation, an edge server handling mechanism leverages DNS to determine if a request with an unknown host header should be serviced. Before serving a response, and assuming the host header includes an unrecognized name, the edge server resolves the host header and obtains an intermediate response, typically a list of aliases (e.g., DNS CNAMEs). The edge server checks the returned CNAME list to determine how to respond to the original request. Using just a single edge configuration, the CDN service provider can support instant provisioning of a cloud provider's identified third party traffic. | 07-25-2013 |

20120259795 | FIXED INCOME INSTRUMENT YIELD SPREAD FUTURES - A futures contract and method of computing a settlement price thereof are disclosed that enables a market participant to shed or acquire financial exposure in a conventional bond spread, in the form of single futures contract, rather than as a bona fide spread requiring active management of distinct long and short component bond positions, e.g. legs. The notional financial exposure of the futures contract is sized, not in terms of notional amounts/quantities of assets represented in the components of the futures contract's reference spread, but rather in terms of the pecuniary value of one basis point (i.e., 0.01 percent per annum) of the spread between yields to maturity for each of the components of the futures contract's reference spread. Effectively, the spread between the yields is defined inversely, i.e. the price per increment of spread is fixed whereas the quantities/notional amounts of reference bonds and the spread between them are not. | 10-11-2012 |

20130318000 | Auto Ship Program that Adjusts to Consumer's Usage - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing an auto ship program that adjusts the quantity of goods shipped based on the consumer's usage of the goods. In some embodiments, the auto ship program of the present invention receives consumer notifications indicating that a unit of a shipment has been opened or finished. The program employs the notifications to determine a rate at which the consumer is using units of the goods. If the rate at which the consumer is using the units differs from the rate at which the units are being shipped, the program can suggest or automatically make adjustments to the shipment rate. These adjustments can include modifying the number of units that are shipped in one or more future shipments or changing when one or more future shipments will be sent. | 11-28-2013 |
