Method for sterilizing foods using both ultra-high pressures and high temperatures. The instantaneous temperature change that occurs when pressure is applied combines a high-temperature short-time process with ultra-high pressure to deliver a fast and therefore gentle thermal process to a pre-packaged product. The process involves heating a food to a pre-pressurized temperature, subjecting the food to ultra-high pressure, which instantaneously raises the temperature of the food, and then releasing the pressure so that the temperature returns to the original pre-pressurized temperature. The method leverages the adiabatic temperature rise which occurs when the food is hydrostatically pressurized, coupled with the lethality of the pressure, to achieve appropriate sterilization conditions.

A disinfestation treatment chamber for treating fruit, flower and vegetable commodities subject to infestation by quarantine pests. The commodities are disinfested so as to meet quarantine restrictions without adversely affecting the quality of the commodity. The commodity is heated inside of the chamber in hot air having a relative humidity of 30-85% until the temperature of the commodity exceeds the thermal death point temperature of the target pest but is not so high as to adversely affect the quality of the commodity. The temperature of the commodity is held at this temperature until the pest is killed. The commodity is loaded into the treatment chamber in bins onto a low friction conveyor track system which transports the bins from one end of the chamber to the other. The commodities are treated while they are inside of the treatment chamber. After treatment of the commodities, the bins are unloaded using the low friction conveyor track system out of the opposite end of the treatment chamber. The chamber includes a fan/heat exchanger located inside the treatment chamber and positioned under the commodity bins. The space directly above the fan/heat exchanger is left unobstructed during treatment to enhance the airflow through the commodity bins.

An organic light emitting display device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. A trench is formed in a planarization layer, and then a first electrode is formed to have opposite ends in the trench, thereby reducing a height difference between the planarization layer and the first electrode. That is, the thickness of a pixel defining layer formed on the first electrode may be reduced by reducing or minimizing protrusion of the first electrode with respect to the planarization layer. Thus, transfer efficiency can be increased when an organic layer is formed by a laser induced thermal imaging method, and reliability of a device can be improved by reducing or preventing thermal damage of the organic layer and open defects.

This invention relates to food processing and, in particular, blanching and dehydration of foods. Conventional blanching and dehydration requires use of steam and forced hot air. This invention is the first to effectively use infrared radiation energy to perform simultaneous blanching and dehydration of fruits and vegetables. Since this technology does not involve the addition of steam or water in the process of blanching, it has been named “infrared dry-blanching” (IDB) technology. IDB is intended to be a replacement for current steam, water and/or microwave blanching methods. It can be used to produce many kinds of value-added dried, refrigerated, frozen and dehydrofrozen foods such as fruit and vegetable products. In general, the advantages of IDB include (1) uniform heating which enhances energy efficiency and limits damage from over-heating, (2) capability of zone heating to address differential density, (3) ability to treat large or small lots with the same piece of equipment, (4) portability, since equipment can be built on wheels, and (5) a safe, non-toxic process with no harmful side-effects to humans or the environment.

The invention discloses an energy-saving multifunctional cold-heat pretreatment device for fruits and vegetables before storage. A water temperature treatment chamber is connected with a fruit and vegetable pretreatment chamber to form an integral water tank, and a partition board with through holes and a filter screen are arranged between the two chambers. A fruit and vegetable basket is placed in the pretreatment chamber, a spiral tubular heat exchanger is placed in the water temperature treatment chamber, and circulating cold water or hot water enters the fruit and vegetable pretreatment chamber from the lower part in a parallel mode through a water pump. The return water is subjected to heat re-exchange through the filter screen, the partition board and the spiral tubular heat exchanger and then returns to the water pump. The device integrates pre-cooling, cold shock and hot shock treatment of the fruits and the vegetables, and saves running energy consumption when the treatment of the fruits and the vegetables is finished; and compared with air, the water serving as a treatment medium has high heat exchange efficiency, can inhibit drying loss during the pretreatment of the fruits and the vegetables, and has cleaning effects on the fruits and the vegetables. A control system can timely adjust the running parameters of the system according to the change of working conditions so as to avoid cold injury of the fruits and the vegetables caused by over-low water temperature and hot injury of the fruits and the vegetables caused by over-high water temperature.
